Brentford are so great for the league. I rate them up there with Bournemouth as one of the best promoted teams in the last few years.

I wish Ranieri had retired after 15/16. I really don't like to see him like this.

Reckon that his superb success in 2015/2016, in his mind, has made him 'entitled' to carry on with football management - sadly.

He cant let go. If teams are willing to throw away cash then why not setup your family, grandkid etc

That 3rd Liverpool goal yesterday was ridiculous. Offside rule is completely broken in that regard.

Joking aside, I’d rather have Salah in my side currently, than Mbappe. Liverpool are a brilliant team when they’re on song, are great to watch. Pains me as my dad and I are the only Foxes in a family full of Liverpool fans (+1 Newcastle fan).

Agree.

This is great. 2-0 down in the 80th minute, and then win 3-2. There aren't many better feelings in life.

Think a draw in Everton v West Ham suits us.

It’s a tough one. We’ve seen two this week which really should be offside. Changing the law would mean the officials have to judge what was in the defenders mind rather than looking at what actually happens. it brings some subjectivity into the law (in that particular instance ). 
 

on balance, I think it should be changed

Salah scored in 8 games in a row? Bloody hell, impressive. Hopefully he fails to score against United, I want Vardy to have the record for a long long time.

It's 6 premier league games, 8 in all competitions.

I think it’s only 6 Premier League games in a row.

For Bruce's 1000th match the new owners will surely make a special presentation before kick off. A gold plated shovel, fork and wheelbarrow perhaps.

“He’s hasn’t scored one for a while has he” 

Brilliant

Cracking comeback that from Wolves, would have been first on any other week. Scenes! 

 

Makes me feel slightly better about our own defensive woes to see Villa undone by three scrappy set-pieces too. Atrocious way to lose a game from being 2-0 up.

Sky currently whitewashing the Saudi takeover at Newcastle 

 

I get a lot of owners haven’t got to where they are without bending the rules now and then, this lot are on a different level.

Agreed and VAR will help officials. Feels easier for them to judge defender intent than for a defender to know if a striker is offside. We can all look at yesterday's and agree it shouldn't have stood.

Godfrey went down like he had been shot there 

[Koke]

Everton once again being negative park the bus merchants. For a club that spends so much they play some atrocious unwatchable football. Abomination of a fan base as well. Unfortunately they will never get relegated but would love to see them do a 5 year stint in the Championship. 

[Md9]

Must be the quietest stadium I have heard sounds like no one is there 😂

Newcastle are a bit of a golden child for Sky. They were a top team during the early years of the Premier League under Keegan- full houses, classic games v Liverpool and Man United and Sky have always held a high interest.

 

They want them back challenging near the top again.

[Soar Fox]

This has got to be one of the worst premier league games I have watched in a long time. 
 

People like to moan about how quiet our stadium is, but we aren’t anywhere near as bad as this Everton crowd. 

[Unabomber]

Everton have the worst home atmosphere in the premier league by some distance 

[Soar Fox]

Genuinely sky need to put that fake crowd noise on like they did last season.
