The non-Watford football thread

On there day Man C are playing like the best in the world .On a bad day they get a draw with Everton

 

No call up for Tom - not young enough or playing for Man U I guess.

All for giving young players a go but not sure Loftus Cheek has been in great form for Palace and Gomez is a good prospect but only really just coming back from injury at Liverpool.

Ashley Young* has played very well but he is hardly one for the future!

*Mainly used as an attacking full back who is able to track back and defend so perfect for Jose M.

 

Another bad result for Everton tonight. Hope they don't suddenly find some form.

 

As I say if we play as we did at Chelsea we could score 2/3.

 

They rested 6 so they only had 4 outfield players in the starting 11 (the goalie was the other one )

 

My colleague is an Everton fan, he ain't overly confident at the moment and that is an understatement.

He reckons Everton are as toothless as his 90 year old gran!

 

But then again nor were Stoke!

Will depend on how we play really - need to be confident and strong but not too complacent.

 

Everton (and there fans) have a confident s problem .They have 8 pts from the 4 games that was not the top 6 .If we get the 1st goal there heads will drop there fans will get on there backs and they could boo them . I would take a draw now

Evra gets a one match ban for trying to kick one of his own club's fans in the head.

Meanwhile Deeney gets a three match ban for protecting himself from Allen & Shawcross...

 

Says he will get a longer ban - Man U fans and Sir Alex Ferguson will expect a 9 month one as that is what Cantona got.

Another one of those trial by panel/TV incidents here.

Fulham player had been sent off for raising his hands but now the Bristol City player has been banned for simulation..

Does look like the latter went down easily but worthy of a 2 match ban?

Of course you've got all the other players putting their view across trying to influence the ref.

It certainly does - he has besmirched the good name of Australian sportsmen the world over...

It looks to me that 'invited' the contact, dived backwards theatrically and then pretended to have been hit on the face/head. I'd be after a three match ban.

 

Wolves top having signed loads of overseas imports using the agent Jorge Mendes.

Will Martin Samuel be writing about how they are bad for English football?

 

Well done Boreham Wood - knocking Blackpool out of the cup with a 2-1 victory.

 

Great result

 

Yes - Blackpool no mugs either .

Shame Luton won..

Brigton , Burnley and Huddersfield win again - really showing how tight the Premier league is below the usual mob.

 

Least surprising news of the day - Wet Spam have sacked Bilic...

 

Surely there should also be criminal charges against Evra here.

 

Cantona did - although the eventual 120 hour community service sentence was something of a joke.

Perhaps Evra is, even as we speak, concocting some rubbish statement about seagulls and sardines...

 

But that means they will have a new man in charge in 2 weeks..

 

Rumoured to be Moyes, so that may not be a problem...
