That Davies goal was huge for me as the lad in second had Cedric, McCarthy and Bednarek.

Unlucky but in fairness there's no excuse for having triple Saints defense

Cedric misses out on bonus

33 (-12). Captained Kane. PVA the star of the show. Everyone else not so much.

Are we playing each other in league 1?

I think we are. Didn’t spot that. You have more to play for than I do. No way I can reach the promotion spots and safe from relegation.

Give a few lads a rest so

West Brom f***ed up dgw 34 for me so it's only fitting they f*** up my rival's TC Kane this dgw. He's also got 23 points on his bench from sgw players.

I'd never have thought at the start if the season that everything would rest on Raheem Sterling. I'm off to a cave tomorrow afternoon.

That late Everton goal may well keep Huddersfield up
I csnt see them getting another point

If I’d known I would have taken a dive.

Again I ask


And now that I'm on the right side of one I can say it without bitterness
The assist rule is a joke

Zaha may have intended to pass to PVA but it was a horrible attempt at it and would not have reached him without shawcross
Who knows maybe he was looking for benteke

The whole intended destination thing is stupid

Easiest way is porbsly just to go with last attacking player to play the ball towards the scored altogether
Not ideal but less ambiguity

Mawson has done absolutely everything to score an own goal the last 3 weeks
Lucky the shot was judged on target today

I paid the premium for goal threat but at the other end

Also
Jordan Ayew
What were we thinking !

km79

Harry Kane’s effort for the own goal was better than the one for the sitter he missed first half
Chronic!!!!

Vardy to Ayew was a no brainer.

Shed load of extra cash, Leicester are awful and at least Swansea are trying.

I had wood who was yellow flagged and used the extra cash
But if I could do it all again I'd take his 2 games over Ayews 3 and the 4 points

I know he was suspended for 3 of them but Swansea have scored 2 goals in 8 games
TWO GOALS

I knew it was bad but not that bad !

km79

Moss is a god awful ref

What was Bertrand at though !!!! Boot it out of play or let it go dead but don't keep it in

km79

After some disturbingly in depth Google image searching I can confirm Arnautovic had an ice pack on his knee whne on the bench suggesting a knock rather than a muscle injury


How do I know this ?
A player was pictured behind Moyes towards end of game. But only his arms and legs were visible with an ice pack on knee
But there were a lot of arm tattoos.............

I don't think people realise (or at least consider in their analysis) that most of the bad stuff we see is down to how they're trained to ref and what the FA looks for in a referee.

They seem to love the ones who give as few big decisions as possible, which actually limit the FPL points available for penalty takers in the game. IMO penalty takers become much more of a commodity in this game if VAR comes in.

Think on a given week how many penalties you see get given that shouldn't have been penalties, and then compare that to the number that should have been penalties but weren't given. For me, the latter number is significantly higher, and it is down to how referees are basically conditioned to approach games.

Moss is overweight , unfit and can’t keep up with play
That leads to him being in poor positions and basically guessing for a lot of big calls
He is a terrible ref and I’ve no idea how he is still a premier league ref

Note that my post wasn't in reference to Moss.

Paully D

Just checked the scores after being out all day.

McArthur and Daniels on bench boost but man, those injury time goes conceded by Spurs and Southampton cost me another 20 odd points

7 points from 7 (19 but took -12).

Not too disappointed except for the -4 for Bavies and being outside the 100k mark I could have gambled starting Ryan and Dunk rather than benching them.

It’s all about Jesus (tc) now for me and my team.

This update from a West Ham fan also seems to suggest it was nothing serious.

Good thing that the west ham game isn't on till Thursday.

km79

Good stuff
Gw38 is looking good again
He was playing up top again by himself and ran himself into the ground by all accounts

CSF

Not to completely discredit what could still be a perfectly credible source, but that lad has 297 followers. Not sure he is a card carrying part of the West Ham media.

He picked up a knock too
Didn’t look serious

Hoping they give him a precautionary end to the season myself
