Feel equally nervous, and also having resigned my self to it last Saturday would now be devastated if we went down from this position Bournemouth and villa are not dead yet
That's going to be some turnaround for each club. Wasn't Villas last win against us? Bournemouth last win was early Feb against Villa. Yes both will be fighting for their lives but we have the psychological upper hand points of course. Defensively they're going to be under immense pressure, either team cannot afford one mistake. I have no doubt t hat they will be collapse if conceding first. Leicester will pick off Muff with their possession play and Palace will slowly grind down Villa. I honestly believe we will still be six and seven clear on the conclusion of todays games.
Today is the day when I can see it could be all realistically sorted. If there is going to be a resurgence from either of them it will be seen today. Villa have their easiest match of the run-in with Palace. I'm unsure about Palace as they have been off-form since the restart, although they did beat Bournemouth. Pretty much lost to everyone else though and now are shipping in goals and have lost 4 on the spin. Same with Bournemouth. Today is arguably their easiest match. If they lose that, then I just can't see them picking up 6 points from their final three. Fingers crossed there are no winners today.
And they would probably point to a whole number of decisions themselves but yes as that was a case of the system not working rather than an option so could be difffent I guess. ATM to be at least point ahead they'd have to win 3 of their 4 games so hopefully won't happen!
Yep. When we get relegated the first thing I'm going to do is ring 999 and report that villa decision , defo.
I haven't seen them play but they've picked up 8 points from 5 games in a tough set of fixtures, hopefully they can get at least a point today.
Everton are getting slaughtered here. I know Wolves are a good side but it doesn’t exactly fill you with confidence that we’re going to be done any favours when Everton play Villa and Muff.
The wages are the standard weekly, plus add on and bonuses. They are the correct figures. Afobe was seen as the player to fire in the goals. He had failed to make the step up before, but Howe is stubborn and his record in in the transfer market is very poor. He gaining a reputation of only being able to coach lower league players and not able to get his message across to the 'stars''.. This was spoken about long before Glenn Johnson mentioned it in the media. You are right about goal difference. City face both sides. If Bournemouth lose tonight, then their confidence will be. totally shot
This Everton performance should certainly be giving Bournemouth and Villa some hope they can get a result from their games. To quote a phrase, they look like ‘they’re on the beach’.
I was thinking the same thing. Everton already on the beach. Ancelotti tried Digne in a back 3. He used this game to experiment. Hopefully the fans voice their disgust at this performance. Silly really because a win today would have put them one point behind spurs and only 2 behind arsenal in 8th, who play each this weekend. A win today would have seen them with an outside chance of Europe. Baffled by Ancelotti doing that.
Just realized that Mina got injured and Coleman came in to replace him on 30th minute. They had a back three of Coleman Keane and Digne hahahaha. What a joke!
Everton are probably the sort of team if you get a goal lead against them at this stage of the season they won't show much fight to comeback. I wouldn't want to rely on them beating Bournemouth on the final day.
Agree, that’s why it’s vital they lose today. If they lose today, then I can only see them picking up three more points and that would be against Everton. I can’t see them beating City or Southampton in their next two games. There is so much pressure on them for the game today. They will know it. I just hope Leicester match their fight unlike Spurs. Thankfully Leicester do have something to play for and Vardy is chasing the golden boot. I just hope the best version of Leicester turn up. If Leicester score first, which would be great, I can see the Bournemouth players heads drop.
Disallowed for handball, despite the fact it clearly hits him on the top of the shoulder more towards his back. ******* absolute joke.
The officials literally make it up as they go along. The reason why VAR had to be brought in is due to their incompetence, now all we have is another incompetent official watching it in slow motion while the dribble flows down his over sized tongue.
That really is another mind blowing decision. It's so ridiculous it almost seems suspicious. How anyone could watch that and see it as a handball I truly do not know. Absolute disgrace.
I am not defending BMuff finances or disagreeing about the general point of your post however the russian owner had put in £50m by the end of their first season-he increased that by £30m by the end of last season so he now has £100m loaned to them and it is interest free. Under accounting rules if a commercial loan is interest free the auditors have to apply "implied interest" so the £6m is not actually paid. I do agree they will be in financial difficulty if they go down
Why would the PL want the billionaire owned, 40k+ attendanced club from a big city to stay up over us?
Not just that it's obviously the wrong decision. I thought it had to be a CLEAR and OBVIOUS error. If it was that clear why spend so long before overturning? Piss take
I'm sure Gino will be on the phone to his lawyer if it ends up costing us. Didn't VAR goal-line technology stop working the other week, in Villa's favour?
Needs to be seriously investigated. Someone has been paid off somewhere. No other reason than that for that goal to be disallowed.
