great header tbh

That’s why they bought him. 

Eddie Howe is looking more and more like Steve Bruce with every passing pie day.

😂 ref sent to var screen after giving Everton a penalty.

Apparently the screen just showed the VAR logo and no game footage.

Ref wipes out his penalty decision on advice from Stockley Park !

😜😜😜 Whoops!

Brighton score 2nd goal!

Home fans furious!

Info

Wolves, Everton, Bournemouth, Southampton all losing, Ipswich and Fulham lost.

All our bottom half of the table rivals losing/lost so far.

Great fun watching Hall and Livramento start for Newcastle while Cucurella still pollutes our books...

BlueCo are incompetent c**ts.

Did Russell Martin always look that sexy or is he trying to convince people that he's Spanish? (No no, not me, that was the Bournemouth guy).

 

I'm thinking of growing a beard, aggressively drinking bottled water and wearing a baggy grey jumper. @Valerie@moi What do you think?

Arsenal is clearly better than wolves but the biggest different is Saka 

 

Everton down to 10 men, straight red.

I remember their fans moaning when they had points deduction, not only were the PL biased against them, they were the first team ever to fall foul of a dodgy VAR decision. !

9th already. 
 

Maresca out.

You'd think I would instantly sign you up as you tick all the boxes....

... but no.

We are already 3 points behind 🤣🤣

Behind a few teams.

However the gap to Pool, Arsenal, United, City and possibly Spurs will be large imo so them winning, unless it is against us, is irrelevant to our season. Top 4 is a pipe dream imo.

What I'm hearing is that my current profile of drinking a 15-year-old Glenfiddich (which I more or less stole from the kid in the shop who didn't know what it was), wearing a similarly-aged Pink Floyd t-shirt with a significant hole in the armpit, and waking up in odd parts of the house is your type?

9 minutes lol just put Everton out of their misery already

UPDATE 

Apparently the VAR screen wasn't working, but there's a " backup screen" below the main screen and the ref made the decision from that screen 

Who knew there's another screen?!

Feels like Brighton have found another good coach.

If you want to understand "tactic". 

Surprised Maatsen didn’t start for Villa!!!

Never a penalty. Just two players colliding. Premier League is back, refs are as stupid as ever.

They're those little mints which look like sweets aren't they?

Apparently you can win the ball and then the other player falls over your leg, BUT because the ref doesn’t see the touch on the ball he gives a penalty, not overturned because get this,  “Its NOT clear and obvious “ WHAT?

My biggest issue is that Soucek plants his leg into a position to force contact. 

Matty Cash is the least Polish person I've ever seen.
