RIP Martin Chivers - before my time, but one of the great names I used to hear about as a kid

Are Chelsea trying to set a record for the amount of players sent off during a season? Insane amount of red cards they've got of late.

I thought Fernandes was out for months? Or did he just throw his toys out the pram and want Amorim gone?

Arsenal are going to walk it at this rate. Nobody challenging them.

Man Utd's keeper is sooo average. Whatever his name is.

All I ever see from him is a delayed dive once the ball has passed him, for the cameras.

We're so lucky to have Pickford.

Newcastle up to 6th. Suddenly looking like not a bad season for them.

And if we'd beat West Ham, Burnley, Wolves and Brentford, we'd be 4th , Is what it is, but can't help but think opertunity lost, but I guess few teams can say that.

Felt for Leeds, played 16 minutes stoppage time when board said 10

Yeah they've looked a bit rough the few times I've seen them this season, but seem to get quite a few injury time winners too, can't quite work out what to make of them tbh. I think their main strength this season is being able to bring on the likes of Murphy, Elanga, Wissa etc... makes me incredibly envious when they make their subs and I then look at our bench!

Mind they won't win many games playing like they did tonight, was a basketball match, haven't seen an end to end game like that in years (or at least the final 30 mins + 11 mins stoppages I watched)!

That kopite keeper for Brentford is ridiculous on pens

How was Saka not booked there? Booted him in the chest trying to trip him up.

Standard of refereeing is just so poor at times.

Also Gyokeres...been a complete flop hasn't he? I guess they won't care if they go on and win the title, but I've rarely seen him have a good game. Doesn't look good when you're playing for the team at the top of the league and still can't score much.

Two boring defensive teams more interested in not losing than winning
