I'd still much rather be in it than the Championship though.

 

And if you don't agree, you're lying.

I'm mean we're striving to win the league, be promoted, that's the aim, if not then what's the point, with that means going back to the Premier League.

 

Do I hand on heart prefer the Championship and find it by far and above a more level, competitive, exciting league? 100% yes.

 

And I said that when we were in the Premier League before our struggles, so whilst I can understand people might see that as me being bitter about our relegation, it's not, I did however caveat that by saying I wouldn't be keen in being in the league (because it's tougher, more competitive, level and anyone can beat anyone.)

 

The Premier League was once exciting but the last 5 years, borefest.

 

Unfortunately, the Premier League is 'the league to be in'.

 

'The most entertaining/exciting league in the world' the media and many people claim? Is it fuck.

Finally!  Just in time for me to switch over to Ravens - Bengals.

Good goal. Eventually managed to break them down, the boring buggers.

finally

[Tuna]

Really well worked goal.

[whoareyaaa]

good finish

[Dahnsouff]

Hate Arsenal though, they just cheat. Every corner in their area, someone always goes down pleading head injury.

Agree, there has been a lot of players rolling around like they have been attacked with a shovel, only to pop back up after play stops.

 

Whatever they said they were going to do about feigning injury and timewasting, it aint working.

Really annoyed they didn't get a second goal there

[StanSP]

Referees have been very draconian with the time-wasting this season, now it all seems to have gone to pot. Arsenal taking the piss with their corners. Unpunished. 

[Dahnsouff]

Everton are majorly honking and who do you go to when you are going down if you start with a relegation specialist manager? Big Sam?

I don't think Dyche will last much longer plus they are being taken over so probably want a change of manager if results keep going like this.

Ah yes, 777, feels like a chance for Jesse. 

[StanSP]

Only 4

 

[foxfanazer]

Big team in the lead= 4 minutes added on

[Dahnsouff]

Sure it would have been 4 mins if it was a draw….

Would have kept us up. 

[Tuna]

Pathetic inconsistency from the refs/fourth officials etc. 4 minutes and they were adding on 12 yesterday? Joke.

There were City fans that wanted Rodgers to stay

It'd be interesting for the fourth official to be ordered to explain his extra-time reasonings to the audience/press..

 

This sort of requirement would help to, possibly, cut down on any - alleged - extra-time favouritism.

And we’d be in Everton’s position now.

 

Neville called Everton right “so basic”.

 

I didn’t want Dyche then, now, never.

[Collymore]

The 4 mins is blatant incompetency or corruption. One of the two.

Even Sky match commentary on the website said 4mins added time shouldn't there be a 1 in front of that.

 

then:

90+3: Sean Dyche wasn't happy with the amount of added time signalled. 

 

“The ball's been out of play for more than 40 of the 96 minutes we've played so far, so you can see why.”

 

As some have mentioned yesterday it goes into 10min + for 2 clubs who were losing & then go on to win in that injury time
