Premier League — Matchweek 2

Bloody BBC has gone all woke with Women's Rugby!

No mention of the footy being on. Lively start for The Hammers vs The Chavs.

That was a foul imo before that 2nd Chelsea goal.

Wth is 'accidental contact', VAR are just making things up on the spot.

I just lost the game after the second Chelsea goal, thought it was a foul on the West Ham player.

I think the Chelsea player has fucked my screen up as well!

1-3 now Dave. Chelsea just ripping them apart.

Estevao, brilliant!

That is what I want to see Charly Alcaraz doing for us... but who would be in the middle to convert?

Liam (4), thanks mate, still trying to get the game back on!

That Estevao looks class.

West Ham are absolutely shocking. And some people thought we were bad on Monday!

They've shipped 6 in a game and a half!

I think Graham Potter should look at his resume before it is ruined with West Ham.

Potter looks like he has no clue what's going on. He reminds me of Mike Walker.

WHU have some decent players. Shouldn't be getting completely exposed like this

Could have been 2-1, but this could be a battering for Potter.

Might struggle to make wk3.

I'm seriously worried about our ability to get results in the short term, especially with half the defence out.

West Ham beat us the other week

Don't worry Liam. We'll only lose 1-0 every week while West Ham are getting twatted.

We'll stay up on goal difference! 😂

Might get a couple of 0-0 draws James?

Blatant foul on Paquetá for Chelsea's second.

I don't know how it's possible for ref and VAR to miss this. But the stooges in the studio always manage to concoct a convenient narrative depending on which team has benefitted/lost out.

Why on earth did West Ham sign that goalkeeper? He’s bloody useless. Areola is far better than him.

There is some shite keepers about in league this season.

4-1

Weren't some ToffeeWebbers advocating for Potter back in the day?

Fecking... 5

Chelsea 5

30 minutes to go. Potter was 7/2 for the sack.

It was a clear foul, Josh 15.

It's this inconsistency, subjectivity, and bias that drives fans mad.

West Ham have imploded

West Ham imploding.

Josh, you don't understand why VAR was brought in. If you think it's to find the right answer, you are mistaken.

It's a new hurdle to ensure decisions favour the top sides, dressed up in a digital age.

Potter stood on the touchline, looking like he wishes he were somewhere else.

Potter looks like a man who's forgotten to clear his Internet browsing history before he left home

Thank god we've got Pickford in goal come Sunday, as I have a feeling with those wingers, Brighton could do this to us.

Why wasn’t that a penalty for Chelsea? And don’t give me this shit that the defender was only a yard or two away, the ball clearly struck the defenders arm which was horizontal to his body.

Well at least it appears there's one team shitter than us!

What was the difference with that handball (not given) and Tarks penalty given

Probably because they were 5-1 up. It was a mercy call.

Arm away from his body, but too close on proximity. I didn't think it was a pen tbh.

Good. Hate West Ham - never forgiven them for charging normal fans outside Goodison in 86 and watching an old fella slip in the ice and getting trampled.

True Ian #32

Tarks was obvious TBF.

Ian, it does not matter how close or how far away you are, it is still handball.

Bill #35

It matters.

Not sure of the exact words but if you're too close to get your arms out of the way in time... it's not a foul.

The only game I can remember Everton playing against West Ham, at Goodison in 1986, was 5 days before the FA Cup Final in May.

It was the only time I can ever remember West Ham, bringing a few thousand supporters to Goodison, and the funny bastards got it right when they continuously sang that we would be running around Wembley with fuck-all.

A combination of a very strong Chelsea performance and a very poor West Ham one.

Interesting to see the much-talked-about Bowen, who is a good player, on the right side of midfield, but always looking to come in on his left foot. Another inverted winger, which has now become common practice.

I was at that game in May '86. Outside, there were a few West Ham supporters on Goodison Road and Gwladys Street making their way to the Park End. Banter was healthy and they wished us well against Liverpool. Inside the ground, it got a bit spicy, especially in the corner of the Enclosure and the old Park End, which used to be given to the away supporters.

As for Potter, I spoke out against him when he was linked with us. It's too early in the season to call, but there will be pressure on him now.

I thought that West Ham goalie was very poor v Sunderland in their first game.

He didn't look much better last night, going by the highlights and some of the game I saw.

Potter finally made Chelsea look world class - 2 years too late.

For consistency with the hand ball against Tarkowski, Trafford should just have been sent off for Man City.

Is it just me who thinks the city goal keeper just handled outside his box?

City all over the place at the back, Spurs second is shambolic.

Someone said Trafford would be the England Number 1 within a year. 😅😅😅😅

Let's just hope there is no new manager bounce and Potter is still in charge by the time they come to BMD.

Watching the City v Spurs game and while it is better than last weeks Newc v Villa game I'm surprised that neither team seem capable of getting forward players with the ability in one on one situations,

Two things to take away so far: the stupidity of taking goal kicks to somebody stood next to you in the goal area, which was also shown in last week's game… and anybody saying they wouldn't have Richarlison back.

I think we've already seen evidence that the Tarkowski handball won't be the standard this year.

Man City keeper with an equally dubious handball and it's, of course, waved away.

Ait-Nouri off and injured as well.

Ake is on in his place so that could well scupper any hope we had of signing Ake. City will be way too short at the back with Akanji leaving.

I saw that Ernie as well. Handball deffo.

Pep being made to look stupid here.

I get that he has footballing principles but if the opponent pushes 4 and 5 players forward to press goal kicks, it isn't that hard to figure out what you have to do.

Martin Sherif scored for Rotherham

Tchatchua, Wolves' new right-back signing has come on due to an injury to the starting player.

It would be interesting to see how he gets on because Thelwell was supposed to be seriously keen on signing him for us. He was reportedly the fastest player in Serie A last year.

Didn't realise Demarai Gray was back in England? Birmingham. Probably his level?

Leeds confirming how bad the result on Monday was.

Embarrassing, Kevin.

That Leeds keeper is mince.

Another handball by the Big 6 missed by VAR.

Why were we so timid against Leeds last week? Stood off them like they were Barcelona. Pathetic lack of confidence and ambition.

Look at Leeds today – absolutely crap relegation fodder. I hope Moyes doesn't take that ultra-cautious approach all season.

Max Dowman — remember the name: 15 years and 235 days old.

15-year-old Dowman making his Arsenal debut.

He's been called the next Kaka.

15 ffs. Woke selection

Icing on the cake: 5-0.

Fatawu scored for Leicester - just saying.

That penalty decision for Arsenal for 5-0... Backed up by VAR.

Fuck OFF Premier League! Corrupt as fuck.

I'll watch Everton as I'm obsessed but the Premier League is corrupt and meaningless as fuck.

I've only just seen that handball on MotD.

How ridiculous that Tarkowski's was given. This sport becomes more grotesque each year.

John 58; It's Moyes mate, the clue's in the name... never saw a draw he didn't like.

As to that 'Penalty' today – we all knew that would happen

Jake @ 56; was it the same fella we made look like a world class keeper last week? If so, says more about us really.

There's a big needle match between Palace and Forest today.

Palace reckon the Forest owner was pushing for them to be relegated from the Europa League with Uefa

That Iwobi fella from Fulham looks half decent. We should make a cheeky bid for him.

Where'd he come from?

Fulham looking really good against Man Utd. Iwobi is a different player in a team of footballers. We should never have got rid of Anton Robinson who's looking good too.

United's goal would have been disallowed by VAR if it had been Everton. 1-1 at moment.

Wtf is that doing the post-match interviews after the Fulham Man U game? A female yank who sounds like English isn't her first language. What with “player of the match”, it's Man of the fucking Match!!!! She sounds clueless. I don't care where she's from but she sounds amateurish.

Before you start with the misogyny crap, I think Cates and Logan are excellent.

I hate watching this shite on Sky. Are they still doing half-time interviews? Killing the game with their American-style bullshit.

I missed the game but enjoyed the live forum. I'll watch the customary 3 minutes on MotD2 tonight. UTFT!!

I won't be upset if Newcastle get battered tonight.

Who’s co-commentating on the bar codes-rs game? He sounds horrified that Newcastle haven’t been shown two red cards already.

Cmon Newcastle. Beat these beauts.

I have no idea what RS defensive strategy is. Don't think they do. They can definitely be got at.

Colin I agree. The co commentator is willing Redshite

All Newcastle and the rs in the lead

Jammy barstewards. 666

Newcastle wasted too many good opportunities.

No doubt these twats will.score with first shot

They fucking did.

There you go, Liam!

I'm listening on Radio Merseyside. Every challenge on a red is a foul. Every 50/50 decision should have been for Liverpool. Newcastle always try the strong arm tactics against Liverpool. Using the dark arts against Liverpool. So biased it's untrue. No one knows the dark arts at the RS.

All the RS have done all game is foul, Jack.

Colin get used to it. It will be all the rage come the World Cup. Can't have a MotM when women now play the game. In cricket you don't have batsmen anymore. They must be called 'batters'.

Why doesn't Howe use Joe Linton up front?

The RefCam is another obnoxious addition to the premier league circus.

Player of the match. Half time interviews. American birds (clueless) doing the “interviews” etc… what next, dancing elephants?

That refcam makes me feel dizzy. Stop showing it ffs.

Dancing elephants sounds quite good Colin

Dancing girls would be better though

Red for Gordon, I think?

Yes. Just stupid by Gordon.

Red card coming.

Piss off

VVD - Self loving Twat.

Virgil Van dick kicks players every game with no repercussions. Sickening how corrupt this league is. Poor rat boy.

Gordon the moron.

James's balls are 3 times the size since VVD kicked them.

And Gordon gets sent off

As much as I dislike St Virgil that was a poor challenge from Gordon, red all day long.

Newcastle have a mountain to climb now

Radio Merseyside - ref has lost the game but its a barcode who's off !

Stupid challenge from Gordon. Why do it? Alice band nob.

VVD gets away with murder every game but when someone leaves one on him, they're off.

Craig Hignett worst pundit I've ever heard.

Anyone see the lady being told to cover her Palestine jersey going into Goodison last week?

Satan FC. Literally unbelievable shower

Chris Sutton really is a shocking commentator. After Four replays he never saw the big deflection for the goal. Just kept saying how wonderful it was. Spit Carragher talking shite as well. Goalie saves it without the deflection.

Chris Sutton is a full weight bell end.

Van Dyke gets away murder.

Gordon is a dick.

The devil is red.

Liam (77) I was thinking the same as you.

Newcastle giving them a pounding without finding the net then Gordon, who was having a very good game did one of those cowardly tackles we saw him do while playing for us and couldn't argue with the red card.

A hard job for Newcastle has now become a near impossible one.

How the fuck does Carragher keep his job. He's a biased cunt, ugly as fuck, spits at kids and sounds like one of the Beatles swallowed a vibrator. A 12-inch one.

They'll win 4 trophies again this year. All their signings will work out perfectly. Salah won't get injured.

And Van Diyk won't get sent off for any awful challenges.

Jack, who the fuck is Craig Hignett?

Is he a former rs player? Sounds like.

Hignett’s a devil worshipper (gobshite)

Hignett's a smoggy and ex red isn't he.

Shane @ 98, where can I find please?

Regards tonight's match, I really dislike both sets of fans so don't give a fuck - ideal outcome to the Gordon tackle would have been for him to have really injured Van Dick and so get's a ten-match ban — win-win for everybody.

Game over

Jeez, Pope went down in stages trying to save that. Pathetic attempt.

Colin - he was on the RS books as U18. Born in Liverpool so almost certainly a Kopite. So biased, I've gone over to Talk Shite. The RS have scored again FFS !

Hignett started as a kid at the RS and then had a 20 year career playing for 14 (yes, 14, he was that good!) different below average clubs in that time...

Looks like the Geordies are going to get battered

Would u want to be a RS leaving St James' tonight.

Hignett is from Whiston or somewhere like that?

They never beat the shite in the league 2015 since the last time I think.

That fat gobshite Micky Quinn played for loads as well. But they all come crawling back to Cult FC

Yes played for the smoggy's I meant to say.

Craig Hignett played in two cup finals for Middlesbrough, FA Cup and league cup and had a decent career with them and a few other clubs.

Can't say what he is like as a pundit as I don't have the sound on, never do for any of these bleedin' pundits.

The last time the shite failed to score away from home was the 2-0 at Goodison.

They are jammy twats, I know we rode our luck yesterday but it seems like every game with them.

It’s been every game since 1960, Neil

1-2 get in

Game on. 2-1.

Nick - ha ha, about right

The luck of the devil.

Never have a team scored so often against the run of play

Tbf if the Geordies had any cutting edge they'd have been at least 2 up before the RS scored

I reckon the Geordies are suffering PSR regulation stress. All the money in the World to spend but prevented from doing is by PSR Regs. The SLY SIX and Masters keeping it a closed shop.
When do you think we will see a decision on Citys 115 charges ? Around the same time as the Epstein files are released. i.e Never.

Barcodes have got one back. Come on.

Is Chris Sutton on their fucking payroll, the lanky streak of piss

Those Geordies are proper ugly though!

And fat too…

Two Newcastle players wrestled to the ground in the penalty area, no penalty.

Just waiting for someone to breathe on Salad, go down and a penalty will be awarded.

Rob, there won't be one single penalty given against these for wrestling in the box.

The FA/PL has already reassured them of that.

Elbow !

Im sure a penalty was given at the weekend for manhandling in the box.
HTF do the shite get away with it week after week... I don't honestly know why we bother when the season is decided before a ball is kicked.

Oliver #108 Link

Liam you’ve a keen interest in how men look.

Hahaha get in!

barcodes win 2 - 2.

At this point, get down the bookies

Superb

Crap at the back the RS.

Deserve it

Fucki g yesss

11 minutes injury time ffs.

11mins stoppage

Draw please

Wow!

I love how howe went for it with 2 up top 432 brilliant

El Diablo coming off the bench to grab a winner!
Thought Elliott had gone to Leipzig?

Blow the fucking whistle!

We should try and get Elliot. Great little player

Bastards. Where do they get these kids from? It’s always the same

Couldn't happen to a better club. 😆😆😆

FFS, the contract with Satan is alive and well.

There you go 666 strikes again !! No wonder I
feckin hate them. 11 minutes injury time has done the barcodes.

That lad is special unfortunately

How anyone supports Everton and gets pleasure from that is beyond me.

Evil incarnate

Why do so many Everton fans watch the rs. I don't get it. I'm watching Seville v getafa. Never watch the rs unless they play us.

From Chelsea Colin this Rio lad

He’s a special talent unfortunately

Unfortunately Liam, there is one or two, notably one who predicts Everton to lose most weeks!

A sending off, 3 senior players injured and subbed. Come back from 2 nil down and the ref plays 11 minutes injury time so the RS get chance to Old Nick it. Salah had 34 touches all game. WTF.

The shit will win the title again because they simply outscore sides.

Arsenal will play the better football all season but will bottle it when it matters as per

City need a new manager that can refresh things, that may sound mental about Pep but I think his style of play now is becoming mundane and found out somewhat, once you press City high they crumble.

Sloth is wank. Got lucky last year with Klopp’s team, sold them all and spent loads. But they’ll fucking fluke it all season the utterly diabolical shithouses

Know your enemy, Paul. Those bastards never give up. A wooden stake. A crucifix. Holy water and fire and still you’ll have to bury them 100ft under a concrete slab. They never give up.

We could learn a thing or two from them.

You can’t hate these c**ts enough

Newcastle deserved served something from that. Going at them with 10 men in the second half and plagainsst the ref for most of the match.

I had forgotten the iron law of football, whatever we do, they have to go one better. We get to the cup winners final, they get to the European fioal. We sign Tony Cotter, they sign Ian Rush. We sign a terrific young talent, later that same day they have a 16 yr old score a last minute winner on his debut.

I think any genuine fan from any club wanted New Astley to win that game or even draw which was like a win, with ten men and also losing two of their best players during the game, not sure if it’s been said but why didn’t VAR intervene with those grabbing and pushing at corners when it was 1-2, looked very seriously like a penalty during a couple of tussles.

Imagine calling it Fergie time 😂😂😂

Newcastle in that above post not New Astley, Michael that bleedin’ word checker is getting worse!

As to where they get these kids from, the go round London pinching them off other clubs. Been doing it for years

Dave, they were supposed to clamp down on WWE in the box unless, they wear red shirts.

Shows the importance of a proper squad

You need quality on the bench to come on and make an impact, as well as covering for injuries and suspensions. The games a lot quicker and more intense and as such mid game fatigue can be punished more as well as keeping energy levels high all season by some rotation. fresh legs can also be the difference between a player choosing to drop deep to avoid having to chase back if the ball is lost and being confident enough to push forward and support or press late on

I hope we don’t start selling players or loaning to many out, it’s a long season old season

VVD, “stay humble” hahahahahaha
From the most arrogant, conceited, egotistical, narcissistic, pretentious, bragging sports club anywhere in the known universe.

Speaking words of wisdom Martin👍

It’s just like politics Nick, it doesn’t matter what you do, because if you say it often enough then people begin to believe that everything you say is true

True that, Tony.

Everton are boss, Everton are boss, Everton are boss, Everton are boss, Everton are boss.

Liverpool are shite, Liverpool are shite, Liverpool are shite, Liverpool are shite, Liverpool are shite

There, sorted

Very true, Neil. 😀😀

The only thing I can say about them is that Gordon actually did something I liked. Marked St Virgil and got sent off.
I make no apologies for liking that player had stud marks down his calf.

The RS defending is poor so if Dour Dave goes back to KITAP1 we will be ok

VVD told Super Kid to stay humble ! VVD humble ! The biggest poseur in the EPL. You can't make this stuff up. Apparently they pinched that kid from Chelsea. Apparently, Chelsea have banned RS scouts from visiting their academy. Neither club will discuss the monies involved.
