Premier League — Matchweek 15

The legend that was Sandro Ramirez has scored four goals from 12 games in La Liga this season with Las Palmas!

Bring him back and sell Calvert-Lewin, I say!

Good goal by Rico Lewis to get Man City back level again.

Very harsh sending off for Lewis, I thought. He had his foot on the floor when he attempted the block, and Chalobah went down like he’d been shot. That sending off should be overturned upon appeal.

City's race is run this season now I think.

Looking at Arsenal putting a sensation run together now, not ruling Chelsea out but don't think they'll win it.

Imagine being a season ticket holder at Brentford this season, some entertainment down there eh.

You could always buy a half season ticket there Jim.👍

Forest 1 up at United!

Might do that Brian haha

Some rain there at Old Trafford.

Man Utd lucky there.

2-1 Forest.

That was one hell of a howler by Onana.

birthday boy 3-1

3-1 forest

And they've done it again! 1-3

This is why Dyche needs to go. Forest having a go at a crap Man Utd and winning.

Martinez's time to make a mistake, just watching. Is Ten Hag back?

United all over the place

Didn't Forest win over the park earlier in the season as well?

Man-U have serious issues in central defence. They keep pressing backwards not forwards! Forest lads have so much space.

It does frustrate when you watch the other sides in the league show no respect or fear when traveling to venues like Old Trafford yet every time we rock up it's like a League 2 side going to a Premier League club in the FA Cup.

I can't understand that attitude, we are Everton Football Club yet we fear playing away to sides that we shouldn't.

30 years without a win at Chelsea, one win at Old Trafford since 1992, one win at Arsenal since 1996, one win at Anfield since 1999.

It's not what this club should be about at all.

United are bang average but we made them look like the dynasty team of the 90's.

I know we shouldn't rely on other teams, but hopefully the south coast teams, Brighton and Bournemouth can do us a favour today.

The Tottenham v Chelsea match will be interesting. For those who like a punt, Chelsea could be an outside bet for the league.

Jim @20. hopefully I'll break my Emirates duck next Saturday.

Don't start me, Jim B! We won at Anfield and The Emirates for the only time in our history when there wasn't any crowd inside the ground.

This is probably why we got a penalty at our old stadium, considering we haven't had another during at least the last 50 seasons, if my memory is correct

Get in, Bournemouth!

Tony, didn't Rooney score from the spot in 2017 at Mordor in a 1-1?

But you'd have to go back 80 years before then I think.

Is Cucurella wearing slippers?

Twice he's slipped over and twice Spurs have scored.

I'm as gutted with our Man Utd result as anyone but we did have a go at them. The difference with us and Forest was that our heads went when Man Utd scored.

The end result at Old Trafford was bad but, for 30 minutes, we bossed them.

There are glimmers of what we can do when (if!) we gain confidence and a striker who gives a shit or is capable.

I agree, Mark. It didn't help that we absolutely gifted them three goals, while the first took a wicked deflection which Pickford had covered, and would easily have saved.

Chelsea pull one back. Great finish by Sancho.

Mark,

I believe if we had Chris Wood instead of a half baked Calvert-Lewin this season then we'd be 6 points better off.

I keep hearing that we don't give him no service but even when he does get decent service he very rarely makes anything of it.

Harsh on Ipswich…….but nice.

Shame Leicester came back but at least only a point. Good results for us all round. No one below us winning and two losing.

Rob #25, I've never been an admirer of Cucurella going back to his Barca days, but this was stupidity on a massive scale.

How do you spend half an hour warming up on the pitch and still put on the wrong studs? And then keep telling your mates, hey, it's not my fault. Of course it is.

Denis @30,

Yes, not bad results at all, Denis, still 5 points clear of the relegation places with a two-team cushion, no one really gained on us.

Hoping for a West Ham win tomorrow.

Well that should have been a red card for Caicedo. Completely missed the ball and caught Sarr on the shinbone.

Agreed, Rob.

Agree Rob. Someone will have to expin why that wasn't red.

Danny, because Sarr didn't roll around screaming.

Not sufficient force apparently!!!!!

Neil 32 - was thinking about the West Ham game. Obviously a Wolves win not wanted but I think a draw is better as we can catch them. Think Wolves are going to part manager soon. A draw might seal both their fates and hopefully one of them appoints Moyes.

As long as Wolves don't win I'll be happy.

What are the Totteham supporters doing throwing items onto the pitch?

And why aren't the stewards doing something about it?

Danny,

That's been going on from the first whistle.

Let's see just see if the Premier League take them to task?

Both those challenges were red cards.

The inconsistency in VAR is what drives fans mad!

Denis @38

In two minds but I do like the 5-point gap, a draw could be okay, just not a Wolves win like you say. I think we'll catch the Hammers anyway at some point. Whoever loses, the manager is sacked imo.

Wolves at home to Ipswich next weekend, now that's the draw.

Good morning. Yawn. Some game this. Sorry I missed the first half.

Good to watch the Arsenal - Fulham and Spurs - Chelsea games.

Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea are much, much better than us and play a significantly different game with none of our hoof ball, nice close-quarter passing and getting the ball forward down into the corners with men in the box.

We are maybe years away from playing that sort of game and we will never do it with our current coach. These sides are a glass ceiling for us and we should perhaps expect to lose to them home and away; drawing against bottom quartile sides may not be good enough.

Robinson handled Saka very well apart from losing him on the disallowed goal.

Palmer could be the Le Tissier of this era. He's never missed a penalty.

Nice penaly. Is the paper being chucked down by the Spurs knobheads significant/symbolic or is it just Spursy?

Cole Palmer is ice cold.

Spurs have some brilliant players and attacking play but brainless defensively.

Martin 44, even Fulham play a different game to us.

Chelsea's average age is 22, 5 Live Denno just said. Feck me, that's called building.

Oh dear…. that's a Spursy……..Ange will be under severe pressure if Spurs go on and lose this.

Chelsea will win the title in one of the next 3 years. Look at Palmer there.

Watching the Spurs - Chelsea game and the frightening thing is the ability of the players on the ball versus our own.

Especially the Chelsea players, midfielders so comfortable on the ball, quick feet, either direction and with awareness of what's around them. Chalk and Cheese to ours — and I guess about £500M between them as well!

That touch from Palmer for Neto… feck me!

He's just brilliant that Palmer. A pleasure to watch him.

Possibly a little on the uglier side of faces Liam which is a little consolation.

Really don’t understand why Man City sold him? They must be regretting it now.

Pathetic challenge.

Palmer's going nowhere. Second penalty.

Fuck me……cheeky fucker!!

Chelsea looking like the only team that could challenge the RS.

Ah fuck off, Palmer 😂😂😂😂

Palmer genius!

He's got the whole world in his hands.

"Yes, it was the right decision to sell him, we haven't suffered." (Pep)

Palmer’s Ceasar hair cut does nothing for his only a face his mother could love persona🤭

Shocking hair Jeff; he looks like one of the lads of legs Liz and her faux Irish hubby with the big muzzy in Coronation St.

Wish Calvert-Lewin was an ugly fucker tbf. Might finish a sitter.

Ange looks like he just got dumped by his beloved

Dirty Den done the dirty on Ange

Preternatural Palmer

Palmer, so so good. Pep, what were you thinking?

Palmer is Chelsea's own Golden Vision. If Tuchel has anything about him, he must build England around him.

Spurs 11th

The bottom 3 seem determined to break away.

Be interesting to see how we cope with Chelsea’s attacking talent.

Chelsea 4 points behind the shite with about the same goal difference, they are title challengers.

Yet again, another weekend that proves modern-day football is all about goals, goals, goals.

Teams just aren't arsed about clean sheets anymore, maybe in the '90s or the early part of this century it was a huge thing to build a basis on but nowadays it's just "we'll score more than you".

Thanks for the refresh Chris, although I can't believe I forgot about that one when I remember the way the moaning bastards went on for weeks after that decision.

They got a penalty in the next Anfield derby, (same season FA Cup) and my own feelings were that it didn't quite make up for Everton getting one in the previous game, the way they still carried on.

Too much time on our hands heading home after the game was cancelled.

Anyway here goes. The fruits of our labour.

To the tune of Edison Lighthouse - Rosemary Goes

I'm a lucky fella
I just gotta tell ya
I've seen him running through midfield
Because skill flows
Through Ilimans toes
Iliman Ndiaye

I think it may have been Southampton, playing in a light blue away kit, but I had to look twice as they had a Jack Grealish lookalike!!

Chelsea now only 4 points behind Liverpool, who still have to play us.

Tonight's game, West Ham v Wolves, is a big one. West Ham only one point ahead of us, Wolves. second from bottom. Both managers under pressure.

Whoever loses tonight loses their manager in my opinion.

It will be interesting, Nigel.

Unless either go for someone in the Championship, or pull some unheard-of from the continent, I can't think of many.

Potter for West Ham maybe? Unless they go back to Moyes for a 3rd time.

Wolves, I have no idea.

Mind you, if we depart ways with Dyche, I'm unsure where we would go.

I do actually think, Danny, TFG have someone lined up already just in case they decide to relieve Dyche of his duties… Sarri perhaps.

Though I also believe, if Dyche picks up another 5 points in December, then he will be safe for the time being at least.

Danny,

I think the Jack Grealish lookalike you're thinking of plays for Forest, but I can't think of his name.

Quite a few empty seats at the London Stadium tonight.

I know a few West Ham fans, none of them like the atmosphere compared to Upton Park.

Two bad sides

Could be Wolves replaced Loperegui with O'Neill win, and he is sacked by WHU.

On the other hand, a win for WHU means he could sack the guy who replaced him, having left over a lack of funding for new players.

Jota Silva Rob.

Poor half from two poor teams but Wolves should be ahead.

West Ham 2 points ahead of us but we have a game in hand that we will definitely win.

West Ham only 1 point ahead Paul

As I say to my students NS, never correct me in public but you can send me an email by all means and I will consider whether you in fact have a case.

Nigel #127

I think Paul is talking "as it stands" if this game finishes all square.

A draw the best result for Everton?

Or given Paul #128...perhaps not

All I can do is apologise Paul 😂

Brendan a West Ham win for me is best, Wolves have Ipswich at home on Saturday, they can have their draw then.

That you Brendan for putting Nigel firmly in place.

And there we go, an awful goal to give away by the worst defence in the league. I agree that a draw is best for us Brendan.

Damn went in the kitchen to fill up my wine and missed the goal.

I like our 5 point gap over the bottom 3.

It was an awful goal, Paul. About six or seven wolves players watched the ball sail over their heads towards Soucek, then watched the ball sail back over their heads and into the net. Not one of them attacked the ball before Soucek got his header in, they all just stood there.

That second goal looks offside.

Yep, offside.

O'Neill might as well pack up his things in the office. Although isn't Kudus offside there?

Bit naughty that.

But no penalty?

Great finish by Doherty.

Yep, excellent stretch.

How is that not a penalty? A all-day clear and blatant push. Poetic justice. There we go!

It’s raining goals!

How did that get in?

The worst defence is at it again. No challenge on the edge of the box.

I went to the London Stadium in May and was not impressed on bit. Impersonal, shitty atmosphere, crap inside, a bigger Middlesborough or Derby. I haven't been to Spursy's new place yet but I hate the look of it on the inside (though some on here tell us it's a boss ground). But you cannot jazz up a pig with lipstick and the new ground is next to the old one in one of the shittiest places in London.

They're lifting up those Antonio shirts when there is a likelihood that he was driving dangerously like the last time he totalled one of his jazzy cars. We at West Ham support dangerous drivers; we at Liverpool support scum who try to eat other people.

Paul, Spurs new ground is called The Toilet Seat, because from an aerial view, it looks like a toilet seat!

Pain in the arse to get to as well Paul.

A Jack Harrison effort by Doyle. Spooned high over the bar.

Never liked walking along the Seven Sisters Road, Nigel.

Step on the foot… no penalty.

Seems there are new rules I'm unaware of in play here!

Like you said, Paul, a rubbish part of London.

Get the tube to Seven Sisters, then the overground to Northumberland Park. Then about a 10-15 minute walk to the stadium. Much easier. Same going back!

These two are shite.

I'm off for more wine.

What if you're looking for bovver, Rob?

Passed all that Paul…….unlike the West Ham and Wolves players, kicking off at the end!

Aggro. Lemina planted one there.

Anyone take 4 points from our next 4 matches ?

Definitely, Edward.

I would take Lemina in a heartbeat to Goodison. Left-back or left-midfielder. Though Dyche would probably play him as a right-midfielder!

Bowen is quality but we couldn't afford him, unfortunately.

Edward, I assume you mean draw with Chelsea and beat Forest?

Lemina is decent but I would like Semenya of Bournemouth.

However, so many players impressive at one club can be very disappointing at another. Everton will attest to that as they have had more than their fair share in the last few years… far too many — especially the sick-note brigade.

You are not going to Arsenal or Man City thinking that we will lose, Rob.

Lemina is closer to our current needs, Tom, I think.

Probably do, Rob, but if we could get 3 of them prior to the Forest game then I might get a bit greedy.

Whatever we get, we aren't getting relegated this season.

No Paul, I'm just trying to guess where Edward thinks we will get the 4 points from?

Me, I reckon 6!

Of course, VAR, and the shite get a pen

Of course Paul, any game where the shite aren't winning they get a penalty. Even Warnock said it was harsh.

Mbappe. Carlo cool as a cucumber as ever!!

Danny, he's the King of Kool!

Amazing, Barkley slips and falls on his ass and bounces the shot off a defender for what looks like Villa’s game winner.

Watching West Brom v Coventry. West Brom have Holgate at centre back and Lewis Dobbin on the bench, guess he has been loaned out.

Ellis Simms is on the bench for Coventry with Frank Lampard in charge. Guess everyone finds their level eventually!
