Agent Coulson

Ozil is offering than the Arsenal forward line and he is sitting at home watching Eastenders.

y0ssar1an22

And pea equalises

Grayditch

Matip not in the squad despite Jose promising. Ffs.

ERG89

Badly, badly needed goal for Arsenal, Arteta and Aubameyang

All the A's but saka should have been stopped.

PsychoPete

Nice work from Saka to stay on his feet in the build up to that goal, Arsenal desperately need a win here

Agent Coulson

Clear penalty to Newcastle not given and not checked by VAR.

Morpork

I really don't understand how that wasn't given. I think they checked it but ref seemed uninterested. Clear peno though.

Agent Coulson

Leeds go 1-2 up Rodrigo with a cracker of a header.

davycc

Unreal first time pass pass pass cross diving header.. go on super Leeds

Agent Coulson

Arsenal down to 10 Gaberiel with his second yellow in 4 minutes.

8-10

I see Liverpool are playing a teenager at centre half who is making not just his premier league debut, but his debut in league football altogether with his last league outing being for Kidderminster Harriers in the conference earlier this year

What crisis?

Agent Coulson

Newcastle score 2-2 Clarke.

PsychoPete

Those Arsenal players are doing a good job of getting their manager sacked

Exactly, a few injuries. No crisis. The best team in the land can soak up a few injuries, no problem. With city ****ing up, it'll go down as the biggest bottle job if liverpool don't win the league

Agent Coulson

Everton 2 up Holgate.

Its a real struggle getting by with the likes of Allison, Salah and TAA.

Allardyce will have an easier task.

Watching the goal show on Prime Tim Sherwood is a pain to listen too, Robbie Savage is ok in small doses and Dion Dublin seems a nice bloke however he should stick to Homes Under the Hammer.

Watching that too... I wish Dion would take a leaf out of the BT Sports Champions League goals show, where they cut to the footage of the goal, and just let you watch it first, rather than describing what you're about to see.

Agent Coulson

Leeds go 3-2 up Dallas with the goal.

2 of those 3 have missed plenty of games this year... along with 8 or 9 other senior players, including right now literally every senior centreback at the club :-/

ItsHoggie

I have Prime Video but cannot seem to watch the matches? Is it not Available on the app or something

Agent Coulson

Leeds 4 -2 up now Alioski.

Newcastle not being given that clear penalty changed the game.

~Rebel~

Good to see them not give the pen when there was doubt.

Only on UK Prime

It's UK only, so you have to have asked them to give you their UK content to have access to it.

I went through it today via their chat support, was grand, just took a few minutes. Probably time to do it now to have access to the 8pm games. Just say you're based between Ireland and the UK with work.

Shanotheslayer

No Pen given to Leicester.

VARRED out.

Agent Coulson

5 -2 to Leeds with a cracker of a goal from Harrison

eigrod

Leeds running riot. Great goals on the break

I hope I made you laugh at least. Far too many in this forum are too serious. Let's all have a laugh in good nature

~Rebel~

Some strike to have after a long run!

~Rebel~

Surprised to see that barge into Djenepo not given as a pen. Looked clear enough.

Tried doing that just now and they told me on chat they cannot do that because I do not have a UK Prime account?

Agent Coulson

That looked a clear penalty to Southampton.

ERG89

Holding hits the bar after barging into Djenepo a few minutes ago

ah balls... wonder if they've been told to clamp down on it a bit as the day's gone on? The guy i got on chat earlier just got on with it and activated it for me.

Up the blues! Was not expecting that.

Are we title challengers again now?

Great result. And great to be picking up points without James - would hope that means they'll take the time to let him recover properly rather than feeling like they need to rush him back.

Top 10 are title challengers right now

niallo27

The rangers game is on premier sports. What's going on.

PsychoPete

Expecting a Spurs win but I'm sure we'll see a Salah dive and penalty at some stage

y0ssar1an22

And here we go. The able bodied versus the crippled while fielding 9 of their strongest 11. How feeble is that?

When has Salah ever got a penalty from a dive.

niallo27

Be a miracle to get a point out of this with the injuries.

Not really. I count 3 spurs players that would make the pool 11 imo

Exactly Allison, Trent, Salah....the likes of them cant be in a side expecting to win.

This is David vs. Goliath akin to Athlone Town against Juventus.

Liverpool obviously favourites today... I'm not sure I get your point?

Spurs best chance is to attack Liverpool's lack of CB's. Rhys has never played a professional league match in his life before, and Fab - as brilliant a footballer as he is - is a CM rather than a CB.

Think they were the 3 I counted alright, although that gives rise to formation issues.

Liverpool on top after 1st 15 here. Henderson looking sharp

To be fair Rebel, when people stated that Klopp never signed a CB for cover given the injury concerns with Matip & Gomez they were told Fab is a CB cover.

He's a good CB imo from what I've seen in a few games
