Not miserable at all. Just not blind to a brutal penalty and an offside goal.

It's not offside though it was the next phase of play. They are the rules.

Might as well be 3, enjoy the romp to the league title, competition's not up to snuff.

Yeah OK. He was offside from the original pass. Him being offside enabled him to be in position to pick up the ball so he was clearly interfering. He was off.

Ya maybe it was unfair but they are the rules. The original ball was no where near him so he was not interfering. The header was then the next phase of play.

It'll be no romp. Spurs (despite today) will provide stiff opposition. They're the most likely of the challengers, in my opinion.

Chelsea for me, spurs will need their full squad to be fit to mount a serious challenge, everyone else has glaring weaknesses.

James 'blind alley' McClean, gotta love him.

Back to our old failing today, missing chances. It could (should) be six or seven today.

Ye might beat whatever the GD record is anyway, the defensive frailties will hold city back in champo league.

McLean is a dreadful player. That was an awful lunge at Kyle.

Dreadful tackle from McClean. He's lucky Walker saw him coming

I suppose the fact that he has a reputation for being a hard/dirty (pick your own adjective) might well have saved him a red card there. As you said, Walker saw him coming and kept out of the way. If McLean had connected, he'd have been off. Along with a probable serious injury for Kyle. Did he even get booked for it?

Right in front of his own manager, who's net exactly keen on giving him a game at the best of times. Brainless.

Defo a retrospective coming for that... stoke had just put the ball out for an injury and Deeney tried to play on the resulting throw in instead of giving it back

Apparently he got booked for it so he'll get away with it.

Do you have an alert set up whenever someone even indirectly says something about Pogba that doesn’t make it seem like the sun shines out his arse? :pac:

Disgrace of a pen decision in the pool game. If you're giving that you're giving ten every game.

Firminio was pulling the defenders shirt too. So so soft. If you're giving that you're giving a pen on every corner.

I presumed he was talking about a player who played yesterday
You sir are racist for presuming every black French player with unique hair is Pogba :pac:

Ah here. There's a little tussling before the ball goes in, but there's only one player at it when it's in there. Hardly soft either, he has a lot of shirt in his hand.

Nonsense. The defender nearly had Firminho's shirt pulled over his head. This is exactly the sort of **** i'd love to see pulled up more often.

Consistency is key. It’s a foul, and refs should call it more often but they don’t, so players think they can get away with it

Exactly and like I said if you're giving that when they were both pulling initially then you give a pen on every single corner.

Weird to watch an Premier League match with majority English players playing. No wonder they're both struggling.

Yeah 13 English players playing, well 14 if you count Morgan, must be the highest total in some time.

Everton look atrocious so far. Big Sam can't come in quick enough.

It's a foul and it was given. Just because some refs don't bother doesn't make it a "disgrace of a decision"

Maybe criticise the refs/assistants for the blatant ones that aren't given, not the ones that aren't.

Makes a lot more sense.

Another good 3 pts for Burnley. Have had a great start to the season. Hopefully Everton look elsewhere for their new manager.

Any reason as to why the New Year's and January fixtures are taking so long to be announced? Initially the announcement date for December and January was 12th October; the December games were announced on the 19th but still nothing on New Year's or January.

Apparently the PL came out with some meaningless statement at the weekend saying that they couldn't set the fixtures for an imaginary reason and gave no indication as to when the games would be scheduled.
