Is Maupay Andy, or is he the pipe full of s***?

That's a fair point. Really hard to sniff out the **** when both Everton and Maupay are in the room.

It's deadline day in Europe and just like many others living in Europe, I'll be here pretending to work while actually following the drama like I'm watching the Young and the Restless.

Chelsea thought they had agreed to terms with Osimhen but reports now that he's agreed with Al Ahli of SA (who are not only paying a massive salary but also providing a release clause). But now he's giving Chelsea a chance to up their offer.

No matter what, 100% certainty this ends badly for Chelsea.

WTF.



And the same guy did this earlier in the game.



League has to step in here and give this guy a match ban or 2. Can't believe VAR didn't send this dude off.
You can't convince me there isn't a conspiracy at this point. And the fact that Veltman gets nothing for violent conduct because he is 100% kicking Rice. That small kick away like that happens 10x per game and is never carded





Hey...so.. um

Should have been a yellow on the first delay, but rice delayed the start. That is technically a yellow. Dumb move by rice when he was already on a yellow.

This is what I think happened.

IMHO the initial kick by the BHA player was a legal restart. The ball isn't moving and it's taken from the point of the initial foul. That's all you need. The only other thing that would keep it from being a legal restart is a whistle of the R has taken the ball out of play. But I don't hear a whistle and it certainly isn't a play needing a ceremonial restart.

The BHA player kicks it into Rice hoping to get some kind of cheap card. He probably doesn't know what DR versus FRD requires, he just wants something. It's not DR if he's legally putting it in play and it's not FRD as Rice is walking away when the ball hits him. He made no movement to it at that point. And FRD requires you to be within 10 yards and make a movement to the ball. All he's doing is kicking it into Rice hoping for something. And he got something.

Once it hits Rice (assuming it's legally in play to start) you can't card him for toe touching it away and delaying a restart as it's in play. It's a live ball.

If you believe the initial kick was a legal restart all you have is a reckless foul by BHA kicking Rice in the shin.

The prem refs continue to be maddeningly inconsistent, but Rice should have been smarter than that on a yellow. He was clearly frustrated by the refs and it got the better of him. Arsenal is probably on 3 points instead of 1 if he just doesn't touch the ball when he was walking by. Out for the North London Derby too.

Everton. Oh Everton. You glorious glorious squad.

Please keep this play up for 35 more weeks. Do not decide that in week 32 you need to play and scratch out points. Play for the relegation.

Bwahahahaha. Everton and Pickford deserve each other.

Up 2-0 at 87' and you lose 2-3.

Dyche has to be at the top of the betting list to get sacked.

Great. Now I have to listen to Tom Rennie whine about how bad WHU is and how they can't play out of the back. There will be at least 4 hours spread over 2 days of his crying.

This Haaland kid has a great shot at being top goal scorer this year. You heard it here first.

I think Spurs heard the saying, "Don't dress for the job you have, dress for the job you want," and thought, "Maybe that works for trophies, too!"

Where's the justice. How can they leave him on the pitch after this devious infraction! He was already on a yellow card. Surely this is a necessary 2nd yellow lol. **** the PGMOL

Everton up 2-0 again...on 2 shots on goal and less than 20% possession.

Might they go for the blow the 2 goal lead twofer?

3-2 Aston Villa. The 3rd goal was the bangiest banger you'll ever see.

We all know what's coming. Everton will be bottom of the table until week 33 where they will suddenly play out of their minds and win 5 straight to squeak it out one more year.

It's been long enough now that this X might stand the copyright test. And Dre is right… this goal is absolutely filthy if you haven't seen it yet.

On a related note, as someone who hasn't claimed an EPL team yet, I'd like to be interested in AVFC, but Emi Martinez single-handedly makes me hope they eat **** and die. And putting him and Pickford on opposite ends of a game makes me wish the earth would open up and swallow the whole stadium. The collateral damage would be worth it.

I also cannot stand either of them.

So most of me, like 95%, dislikes the glove trophy gesture [of Emi Martinez at WC]

But I have to admit that the immature teenager part of me kind of liked that he did it in Qatar. I want to emphasize that it's a small part. Don't do it. I'm a little ashamed of myself, to be honest.

That and bull rushing at full speed directly into the chest of an Arsenal player after the restart earned him exactly 0 yellow cards.

Can't punish Haaland as that would open up can of worms which might include holding the club accountable for anything ever.

Haaland could have and arguably should have been sent off twice.

At 3' he just blows up a defender in the air. YC reckless, no card

When the goal is scored he gets the ball out of the net and he two hand throws the ball at the back of someone's head. RC Violent conduct, no card.

The ending "I'm just going to run you over because I'm on tilt" reckless foul. No card but it could have been a second yellow.

He is the leagues worst player in terms of getting away with murderball because he's the golden boy who scores goals.
