Premier League — Matchweek 20

Brilliant header by Solanke.

And Gordon equalizes... or does he?

Yes, no handball given. Which is a talking point as it definitely assisted the creation of the goal, and would have been disallowed last season, surely?

Game gone mad!

Danny Murphy says right decision, Michael, and he's a hghly paid 'expert' so you're clearly wrong.

Happens all too regularly, Paul.

But what a beaut by Haaland. Fantastic cross from Savinho.

We can only hope that Man City go on a run, Michael, and they had a bad patch.

It was a great goal.

Iwobi winner today please

Ffs Ipswich ahead

Bloody hell, Fulham were well on top.

I hate having to hope for three worse teams, surely your destiny should be in your own hands? Who would plan otherwise?

I'd be surprised if Ipswich win today, but they attacked and got rewards for it. Our parasite of a manager surely is on borrowed time.

They’ve been getting battered by Fulham, lucky to not give a penalty away or have a man sent off and then score…. You couldn’t make it up.

Maybe TFG are awaiting the outcome of this, and tomorrows match at Wolves, before pulling the trigger?

There's 3 ex-blues on that pitch today. 2 of them, Robinson and Broadhead we let go for peanuts. All of them are better than what we have.

For fuck's sake, looking at Silva sitting there on the bench, looks like he's accepted defeat already.

Fulham are battering Ipswich but Ipswich players, despite their limitations, are giving everything.

The list of players gone recently is embarrassing…

Oh for Robinson or Digne now...

Ipswich 1 up against Fulham.

We can't rely on 3 teams being worse than us.

And we could be Bottom 3 if Wolves win tomorrow.

Joy of joys.

That should have been a red card for Davis, for bringing Wilson down.

He had a clear run on goal and no way was any covering defender getting anywhere near him.

His touch was too heavy. Yellow card was correct for Wilson

Ipswich defending really well here. (Hoping I’ve put the mockers on them here).

Rubbish iwobi!

My first thought was Red...
Var would not have changed that in my opinion...
Watching Robinson today with a mix of envy and regret, many posters on this site sang his praises when he was not being used by us what a mistake letting him go..

Big 30 mins.

Ipswich going above us in the table could be the tipping point.

100% penalty to Fulham. Got to be!

I guess it looked a bit like a trip to the ref, but it has to be a spot-kick.

Given……and scored.

Thank God for that

Phew, now win.

Ref can't miss that, it was a clear pen.

Fook.ipswich pen

Cmon Fulham

OMG

Fuck me, one the other end now, but surely not a penalty.

We're cursed

Not sure about that one, kicked his foot?

Ffs pen for Ipswich.. converted!

Yeh, kicked his foot, so penalty.

Great penalty though.

Made a meal out of a little kick on his foot.

We're in this mess because the club failed to sack Dyche months ago.

I was speaking to a Stoke fan who said that Delap was worse than useless when.he played for them.
Transformation

We've been in this mess for about 4 years now, every season. It's soul destroying.

Dyche being given a lesson by the Ipswich Manager 1pt is no good in a relegation battle you have to go for 3

Why do Ipswich have bad breath as their sleeve sponsor?

Wouldn't it be great if we had a manager who told his team to have a go, instead of giving up possession and playing totally defensive formation.

Sack Dyche. We're daydreaming into Stoke away!

So. It's come to this. Sweating on the result of a game between the mighty Ipswich and Fulham. This is Everton FC. Jesus wept !

The only positive I've got is we still have 19 games to play. With a new manager and a couple of new signings I think we can easily stay in this league.

So Ipswich are above us now if they hold out for the next 5 mins and win at Fulham.

Another Fulham pen.

Fulham penno

2-2.

Yessss. Bloody hell!

What's it come to?

Cheering a 2-2 draw to help us in our desperate plight?

Isn't it a sad state of affairs, when we're cheering for Fulham and 19 games left?

Exactly, Rob.

But recently Ipswich have been worth points, playing for their future, got to admire them.

Even if Ipswich don't win, they still look very capable of scoring goals, and getting wins.

A post away from 3 - 1, then a penalty conceded and scored.

Lucky Dyche.

It's just sad of what we've become, Andrew!

Let's not forget, Ipswich spent over £100m, plus loan signings last summer.

2 teams going for it. Dyche raising a glass right now.

Feels strange to actually watch an entertaining game

Okay, so they couldn’t hold on…

But we can’t rely on 3 teams being worse than us.

Why, did my uncle, (God rest his soul) think taking me and my cousin to watch Everton for the first time in 1968 was a good idea?

Christy, let's not forget Everton have spent a lot more than Ipswich, including Carlos salary.

The Liverpool game got the go-ahead after John Lennon Airport was reopened at 10:15 am, after the runway was cleared.

Sorry guys it’s all I’ve got at the mo.

Rob@41

Stoke probably had a shit manager Rob, whereas Ipswich have one who plays to his strengths

So despite Ipswich being the new world champions. They are still behind us having played a game more ?

Thank goodness for that. After reading some of the comments I was beginning to think we were going to be the only team in the history of football to be relegated with 19 games left

We're doing our best Colin

Also, Brian, don't forget all trains into and out of Lime Street Station were stopped until around midday, so plenty of time for fans to get to Liverpool.

Colin, they will soon be the new Flavour of the Month!

At least Ipswich are having a go.

How many world beaters have they got?

But at Everton, we keep hearing "The squad, the squad, the squad."

The blurt in charge has had two god-damned years working on them, with them…

Joe @3, Completely agree.

It all started with Moshiri bringing in Koeman, who threw away millions on average players, giving them massive salaries, some are still here, and selling our best striker for years in Lukaku.

It's been downhill ever since.

Aaaaannnnndd……..Mute!

Colin 68, okay, you are a voice of reason here, and there are as you say 19 games to play.

Are you at all concerned though? Should we really stick with this?

Ipswich got another point today, and could have had all 3.

They have lifted the fans, raised confidence in the squad and affected their perception by opponents, all positive things... I want that for Everton.

Colin C 'the voice of reason'. We are in deep trouble and no amount of, erm, your 'corrective realism' can gloss over that.

Ipswich right now are better than us and could easily have won today and leap-frogged us. They scored as many goals today as we have in the last 10 games.

In Delap and Davis, they have exactly what we need. On present form, we are going down and your attitude does not help us one bit.

And remind me who we play in that precious game in hand you mention? That ought to be a stroll in the park for a team who have forgotten how to stroll for the time being.

Is John Lennon Airport still closed?

United doing okay so far.

Paul, Nail on the head. We are in deep trouble, Fulham getting a (deserved) point still can't hide the fact that, Southampton aside, we're the worst team in the Premier League.

But we don't need to be. We showed against Bournemouth at home, at least for 87 minutes, away to Leicester, Ipswich away, that we can attack.

But, while Bonehead is in charge with his lack of a Plan B and his fear of crossing the half-way line, we will be the worst team in the league to watch.

It's depressing being a Toffee under Dyche and no amount of whistling in the dark will change things. Is it too late to find a better man to stave off relegation? God, I hope not.

Of course I'm concerned Andrew @75

When your horse is coming under a ride before you are half way through a race, you have to recognise the distress signals. We're an awful team playing awful football. That wont change under Dyche.

This club needs to live to fight another day and by that, I mean stay in the division. I wont be heart broken if Dyche gets sacked, but I wont be joining the ranks of the drama queens screaming hysterically for his removal at every game (including ones that we are not even involved in) either.

The manager who can take the years off our six ageing stalwarts doesnt exist. These players wiil continue to get us points when we don't expect them and cost us points when we do - No matter who the manager is.

Thats where we are and I don't see a manager as experienced as Dyche in this sort of situation.

As for bigging up an ipswich side who sit below us despite being the recipients of some amazing shot-in-the-arm decisions given to them today. Words fail. I thought we were Evertonians. Didnt we have all this about Luton last season?

IF,IF,IF. If we hadnt already beaten the Marvelous Tractor boys in a canter. They would'nt be languishing below us now.

Just a heads up for anyone following AS Roma since the takeover.

Tonight is the 'Derby della Capitale' or the 'Derby of the Capitol',

AS Roma vs SS Lazio at 19:45 GMT

Oh, and here's the table;

Serie A table (current)

Last bit of news, AS Roma have been hit with a €3M fine by Uefa for breach of UEFA FFP rules, brought about by an increase in Director Capital Loans (non-converted).

It has been reported that TFG are unconcerned and won't appeal.

Colin, I don't think anyone is bigging Ipswich up.

If you were a neutral and watched our game yesterday and theirs today, who would you say looked the better team? Who would you rather watch?

We are currently the worst team to watch and only Southampton are below us in the form league.

I know we had three good and unexpected results recently but I, for one, am really concerned about our avoiding relegation.

Nigel (78),

I only watched the last few minutes of the first half and thought they were mostly playing like Everton yesterday – defending at all costs and giving the ball away too cheaply.

I hope they did better than that before I started watching them stall them for the rest of the game and even sneak it!

I'm terrified of relegation and despise the way we play, but don't see how anyone can argue Ipswich are better. Not only did we beat them, but the table shows them below us having played one more.

They do look like scoring more than us, but also look like conceding more. There ain't much in it. And their second goal today was a pure gift from a weird Castagne error.

Salah just checking with the ref what time is he getting his penalty

Colin #80 We are Evertonians But we are playing worse than we did last season, No wonder were shitting ourselfs on how the bottom clubs are doing The fans are doing there best to big us up unfortunitly we have a Dinosaur in charge

'As for bigging up an ipswich side who sit below us despite being the recipients of some amazing shot-in-the-arm decisions given to them today. Words fail. I thought we were Evertonians. Didnt we have all this about Luton last season?.

Words fail me Mr, Crooks. No one is in your derogatory terms 'bigging up' Ipswich. Let's take me, for instance. Where is the 'bigging' up in anything that I say about Ipswich? Do you disagree that they are a better team than us at the moment, that they scored as many goals today as we have in the last 10, and that we could really do with Delap and Davis? I'll also add that unlike us they beat Chelsea and they play on the front foot, have pace wide, overlapping full backs, and put crosses near the penalty spot?

Want to disagree with any of that 'bigging up' Mr, Crooks? I also enjoyed your snide 'drama queens' and 'Evertonians'. I also appreciate how the tone of your 80 is so different from your 68.

But you keep up your heroic proper 'Evertonian' rallying calls. The problem is that Dyche/you is/are not Henry V and our squad are no Welsh archers

Stuart on Ipswich conceding - true, but while we seem more likely to scramble draws, they seem more likelier than us to scramble wins.

Hahaha…….get in!

Get in!

That Alexander Arnold is fucking rubbish. God knows why Carlo wants him at Real Madrid.

Oooo... don't like either of these but that was a great goal!

Fuckin Gakpo has improved immensely since joining this lot.

Prime example of a good manager improving a player that's a rough diamond.

Gapko laced De Ligt there.

Hang on, Jim, you idiot, did you not listen when the great Dyche said that 'we' have made players ten times better?

Have some fecking respect, Jim.

Whilst Dalot skins Arnold time and time again on the other flank, Paul.

FFS Rob & Paul!
Why’d you go and get me interested?? As soon as I check in on that lot they fcuking score!!
I was happy in my ignorance.

Can’t argue with that penalty decision.

Morning/afternoon Mark. He did that Rob. De Ligt having a fucking nightmare. This will be given.

So, 68th minute then!

Shit, thought he’d saved it.

Onana maybe should have stopped that one. You would have, Rob. No doubt.

That is not a foul FFS!!

Pat Nevin, who I really respect and like, has his tongue well up Salah on 5Live.

'Down with the. ' who?

Couldn’t make it out, Paul. It was in some kind of strange Norse dialect.

2-2……👏👏👏

Afternoon / morning Paul.

Was it you that mentioned Kirklands the other day? I'm up in Liverpool on Thursday and meeting my youngest boy (he's at John Moores University) in the afternoon. I may call in to Kirklands for old times sake (probably after the game though).

It's not called Kirklands now, although the sign is still above the door and looking in from the outside the set up looks the same. I used to drink Schlitz (I think?) in there in the early 80s.

Nailed on that a VAR decision will be contrived to get the spawn a late win.

Well, well, well, looky dat.

Missed the 2nd making a cup of tea! Get in!

FFS Carlo, change your mind about Arnold.

It was me Mark. That's a buzzing part of town. Some great places on and off Hardman Street, Hope you have a great time.

I want him gone, Rob.

Aiming for pie of the day at the Phil, first then on from there. A pint in The Grapes (the Roscoe Street one) then down to Doctor Duncan's before heading off to County Road.

I hear Kirklands (aka The Fly) has a late license so I'll call in there after the game. Hopefully for a celebratory beer.

ps: Tell me when Man Utd level it, please…

It's 2-2 mate.

Seven extra minutes just called.

For fuck's sake, Maguire, you fucking bellend!

Well, at least Man City gained two points this weekend.

Paul #112…

I want to see Ndiaye tie him up in knots before getting sent off. People say there's no weak link in the Liverpool team. Well there's one glaring one, right down their right flank.

Great game.

Two teams going at each other like they should.

Agree, Rob, and we might even have one or two new lads who can make a difference.

For me, the twat is just so entrenched in them. Robertson defending is another weak link, Rob. All we need are two pacey wide lads!

Colin #114, no worries. Pretty much everybody here reached that conclusion years ago.

I just laugh and ignore him.

Without actually reading many of the comments I'll wade into the Ipswich debate if I may? I am from Ipswich and a ton of my mates support them. Incidentally I was raised a Norwich fan by my dad until my defection to Everton aged 8!

I am with Paul on this, Ipswich as a team are considerably better than us. Delap is looking like the bargain of the season to me, they picked him up for £15M! He holds it up like DCL, runs with the ball like Cunha and can finish. His value has more than tripled in 6 months. A proper striker.

Leaf Davis is excellent yes, his assist stats for town have been insane (ignore his error today). They have other good players too, Omari Hutchinson a stand out, Greaves growing into the PL and in Szmodics and Broadhead they have creative players who can nick one.

More crucially however, they have an excellent manager. Probably one of the most sought after young managers in the UK. He can count himself unlucky Utd were too cowardly not to appoint him (his dream job, every Town knows his heart is at Utd) when they sacked Ten Hag. They are adapting to the PL, WILL strengthen this month (owner is loaded and willing to invest) and they are going into each game swinging. None is this anti-football shite we are producing under SD.

IF we have a gameplan to keep SD we will go down if its us vs Ipswich. I can go on but my heart is too downbeat right now. I know I should be excited about the ground, I know we won't have this dinosaur next season but the football is that bad I can't get excited. I am not one for calling for the head of a manager but we need an action plan and fast.

HAHAHAAHAHA Mr. Gaynes. 'Everybody' on here 'years ago'. Funny how you chatted all the time until I/we embarrassed you with your Calvert-Lewin nonsense.

And you don't 'laugh and ignore,' my friend. You posted endless posts digging your deep hole. A typical snide response but that's fine.

Look around you, Mr Gaynes. 'Everybody'. Nothing worse than someone who leaps on another post to spout your 'minority position', Mr Gaynes.

I remember the days when Mike and Paul were mates on here. Dyche out!!!

Ah Colin, that Calvert-Lewin nonsense and response could not be ignored.

It got out of hand, I agree, but that was down to Mike Gaynes and not all the people he insulted.

First red on 606 Rob saying that Arnold should go.

Living off his Barcelona corner.

Steve (123),

I think they are getting Ben Godfrey on loan this week. He went off the boil with us, he hasn't done very well in Italy up to now so might relish getting another chance in the Premier League.

Great game at Anfield this afternoon.

It only deepens our shame; I don't believe that we are even Championship standard at the moment.

Come on, Martin, we are not that bad!

Has he left yet ?

Maguire! What a muppet.

Jack (131),

Yes, a terrible miss… but if he had scored, that might have gone to VAR because the striker who supplied the pass looked just offside as he ran through, and it is Liverpool.

Watching today's two games gave me a gentle reminder that football is all about entertainment.

Then there is Everton… lol.

Exactly, Jim. Football can be great.

Everton are dross.

Getting away from RS and Manure and back to our predicamant.

We need to win games soon and to do that we need to score goals.

We don't play in red so cannot expect penalties and the free kicks have dried up.

We all agree that our offensive prowess is really quite ''offensive'' to watch apart from Ndiaye on the odd occasion.

It has to be laid at the feet of Dyche so let the new board get shut and spend some decent money on new players of higher calibre than we have now.

Good to see Roma beating their rivals and 4th-placed Lazio last night. Albeit with only 30% possession at home.

Ranieri now has 3 wins from 5 and looks currently like evidence of TFG acting quickly to correct their mistake in appointing Juric (who will hopefully continue to struggle at Southampton).

Always good to see Lazio losing, Sam.

Colin at Various, Ipswich play far better football than we do, they are scoring goals, half of their players were in league 1 18 months ago so they are getting upto speed in the PL, we might have beat Ipswich but we're the only team to lose to Southampton, so I'm one of the drama Queens who wants the odious gobshite Dyche punted ASAP, dreadful man who serves up dreadful football and talks absolute shite, Dyche out

Get in Forest

Super goal on the break.

Now that is what you call counter-attacking.

Forest's No 10, Gibbs White, has electric pace, mobility, an eye for a pass and a shot on him. Our No 10 is 'The Douc', who can run for 90 mins.

Big chance for Wolves from some sloppy passing out from Forest.

Watching this game makes me realise I'd rather watch any football match (apart from those involving Mordor) than one we are involved in.

Wolves should be level here

What's with all this pass and move shite, full-backs overlapping, decent crossing, chances on goal?

That's not how you win matches… is it?

Wolves playing well. I hope Dyche is watching this.

That should have been a penalty.

Wow, not given!!!!

What was the difference between that penalty appeal, and the one the shite got yesterday?

These VAR lot just changing the parameters every game. One game it is handball, next it's not.

That'd be a booking for an Everton player,

Chris Wood again.

Just about to say how quiet Wood has been

So many of those Forest players are like whippets. Pace to burn

Something we sadly lack, Liam

Some may feel that how well Forest are doing excuses our desperately poor performance against them at home. I feel exactly the opposite.

Wolves have been the better team Martin, having a right go.

Wolves are fighting while our lot are crawling.

Forest have been clinical in front of goal, but Wolves should have scored three.

Nigel ( 158), Yes I think Wolves have been the better team and the Forest ‘keeper has made some great saves although I thought he knew little about that save from the close in header and to be fair I thought Forest should have that penalty but this game is not over yet even though I wish it was!it was

Very poor lazy defending from Wolves fb Doherty for that 2nd. Standing there with his arm in the air whilst the ball was travelling to Hudson Odoi

Yes Dave that is true about the penalty and yes more goals in this one

Nuno revitalising players shock! Just like Dyche then

Wolves, Ait Nouri kicked the ground heavily in the 1st half.
Got up, dusted himself off, and is looking okay.

Broja, does the same and cries off!

Nigel@158
they have played really well. Like us they can't score but at least they are trying. They seem to make a lot of mistakes playing the ball out? They shame us a bit.

Agreed Martin, they look leaky at the back. Probably why they are down the bottom, like us.

Was it just the four we put past Wolves a few weeks ago ?

Seems a long time ago now, Colin.

Terrible defending

Goal difference getting better and better.

What a terrible time to be supporting Everton when you have to rely on teams below you losing.

Nottm Forest are now 3rd in the Premier League… surprising what a change in manager has done for them.

Forest are so far ahead of us in points, play, coaching, it's so utterly embarrassing what we have become. Our top scorer in the last 10 games is a Wolves defender.

We survive by picking crumbs from the tables of clubs playing the others in our breakaway relegation league.

I know, I'll put on 'Bring Me Sunshine' from Bobby Brown Shoe's first Xmas. That's bound to cheer me up.

Forest are on an incredible run. They don't do much, but they do it incredibly well – a bit like Leicester City when they won the title with a goal machine up front, a solid defence, pacy wingers and a couple of excellent midfielders. And very few injuries.

They didn't have much of the ball, but they broke at pace and took their chances, and they were so consistent in the way they went about things. Of course, the "big clubs" were all in transition periods that season which gave them the opportunity to pull off the shock win.

Sadly, Forest are unlikely to do a Leicester with the way Liverpool are looking, but they might get a Top 4 finish if everything goes their way.

I've never really liked Nuno. I always thought he was dull and boring at Wolverhampton and Spurs and I can't stand the bear hugging he and his bros do after every goal. It's so weird but everyone does it these days – sigh.

But hats off to him. He knows how to organise a team. Something Dyche hasn't got a clue about.

Colin, ours probably "bear-hug" as well, just that they don't get many opportunities to do it.

Why have those horse-punching gobshites been given the entire end by Arsenal?

Were we not told a few seasons back by the Arse that a full cup tie allocation was impossible to accommodate at the Emirates due to security reasons?

That Lewis Hall is some player. How we could do with him and Gordon (and Isak etc.).

I think that Lewis Hall is very poor defensively Paul. Always out of position (I sound a bit like the Ginger Minge tbf)

Trossard is just running around pulling players over!

I don't like the barcodes at all, but Arsenal's degeneration into just fouling and so-called 'dark arts' these last few months leaves a nasty taste. Hope they get beat.

Nasty little fouls, pushing, whinging, Arteta waving imaginary cards. Horrible stuff.

They are great to watch in full flow as well, but all that other 'game management' bollocks pisses me off.

I think that's a tad harsh, Liam. Anyway, he wouldn't get a game with us as he pushes up past his winger. And in the cold light of day, Liam, he is much better than what we have right now.

The Gunners make me feel the same away, Liam. They are Jekyll and Hyde – or Good Cop, Bad Cop… in one cop.

Isak then Gordon: 2-0.

Brilliant ball from Murphy.

Jeez, what a predicament to be in…

Skunk Maggots now 2-0 up, a real chance of getting to Wembley, to face either the Liverpool or Spurs.

Who would you want to win, as all of them can't lose? ☹️☹️☹️

Anyone who can pass to a teamate or get a shot on target would be an improvement on our shower, Paul.

They are a rum bunch made worse by our 'alternative reality' as reality mismanager.

Jeez, he's been well and truly whacked with the ugly stick has rat boy, Ant!

I'm really feeling for Big Rob now as his nightmare Skunks-Shite final edges closer. And, you couldn't make it up, he/we depend on Spurs getting to the final. Cruel world.

The Duke of Gloucester got it right: "As flies to wanton boys are we to the gods; They kill us for their sport”.

Paul, it's a no brainer really……should the RS get through then it's got to be the Skunks all the way, even though we'd never hear the last of it.

But should Spurs get through, then it's got to be them, purely for Richarlison and nothing else. Jeez, what a nightmare! Anyway, Arsenal aren't out of it yet. 🤞🤞🙏🙏

ABT

Anyone but them

Let me pray with you Brother Rob.

Up the Arse! 🙏🙏🙏

Is that a request Rob? 😱

hahahahaha BW - the sly one's mullet is just horrible

Almiron looks like a human tadpole.

FFS Brian…….🤮🤮🤮🤣🤣🤣

He looks like a pickpocket, Liam.

Sorry mate, you know me, can't resist a comment. 🤣

The Arse have turned into prime Everton under Dyche v Brentford.

Chucking aimless crosses into the box from stupid angles.

I think that that is the skunks through to the final. The build up will be horrible.

Liam, that’s terrible…..and an insult to tadpoles! 😂😂😂

If Arsenal really do want to win the Premier League and get close to winning the Champions League, they'll need to ditch Arteta at the end of the season.

Has one way of playing and when it doesn't work he cannot change it. The man is tactically inept.

Cut to crowd and barcodes fans kids are as ugly as players. My eyes! My eyes!

Can’t be many behind that goal who will remember the last time the skunk maggots won a major domestic trophy! After all, It was 70 years ago!

Top subs and game management by the Evertonian. It looked like two banks of five.

Paul, I have a pal who is a geordie. When Newcastle were in the League Cup final against Manure in 23, he.literally didn't sleep for 2 weeks before. Then cried for 2 days when they lost. He's a really nice fella but when it comes to football he's tapped.

He also went bare torso for a month before the final in celebration of their historic tradition of not wearing tops.

There are even small bairns with Daddy with their tops off Liam. Mind you the ugliest ever is, of course, a shite 'supporter'.

Quality Paul

I'm glad you like her Nigel. Would you like her mobile number?

Already taken now Paul but would otherwise definitely, the only thing wrong with her is she’s a red, soon change that, charm her back to the bright blue light.

Goodness. Another Spurs injury – Bentancour.

And this looks like a serious head injury. Stretcher out. Crap, oxygen too.

Spurs could have had a couple.

No doubt Elon Musk's team will score with their first attempt.

Imagine if he did buy the twats. They would be in a stratosphere of their own. He's ugly and weird enough to buy the shite.

Spurs doing okay here. Wish we had them ahead of Villa with this injury list.

Why did you chip it, Porro, and not just blast the fecking ball at the goal.

Had to be 1-0 there. Damn.

GET IN!!!!!

Shite. Will we get in-stadium VAR for the first time

GET IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice one.

Oooo, the curl on that! Must be the new ball Mikel doesn't like.

I haven’t seen the first yellow for Bergvall but his second tackle and Van Dijk’s studs in the calf earlier in the half beggar belief.

But even more unbelievable is that nobody on ToffeeWeb spotted Van Dijk’s.

Diaz = Diving twat

Van Dijk's studs was a fecking disgrace, not even a word and it was reviewed by VAR.

This new Spurs goalie looks decent.

1-0 and Spurs have a month to get fellas fit to play.

Ha ha!

Van Dijk has previous re sneakily leaving a foot/elbow in, yet never seems to get pulled for it.

Bias? Favouritism? Or is he just very good at it?
