De La Pena never got capped when he was at Barca?! That's certainly one for the "strange facts in Football" thread.

Brentford just low blocking us to death and seems they're saving Toney for the next games as he has a slight knock. Not much happened apart from the goal.

Burnley have to be one of the thickest teams that have played in the Premier league for a long time. Seems like a solid half and get in at 0-0 and build from there. Instead they're playing it out from the back with 20 seconds left and Muric just...

Foden will likely decide this five minutes after coming on as sub. I think Man. City drop points at Brighton and Spurs in the run in if they concede first in those games.

That's far more of a penalty than anything seen on Thursday evening...

The record since 2017 is this: 2 losses in 6 visits to Man. City. Also got a 0-0 v them at home when Man. City secured 100 points in 17/18 season.

Fulham-Chelsea I'd say. Fulham only won twice v Chelsea in last 25 years I think and until recently Chelsea fans couldn't care less about the game.

Year in year out Man. City have huge psychological issues playing Crystal Palace. :lol:

From expectations in August....Poch by a mile imo. Chelsea winning last night took them from 12th to 10th in early April. That's the context needed. I think aswell in the last few months West Ham have been a major disappointment. They were...

Pretty telling that even at 1-1 tonight Klopp subbed off Salah and Szoboszlai early. Liverpool totally lost all composure when those two went off in the cup game so he'll be keeping them on for much longer in the league match. Hard to see...

Must be 1/10 he's playing for a Saudi Arabian team next season. He's been a great player in his time and did a solid job last season but I was listening to Jon Champion and Lee Dixon and they were laughing at his attempts to track back in the...

I've noticed refs seem to be adding 2 minutes when teams make double subs (even if players are leaving the pitch quickly and it is taking less than a minute). Six was about right as they add a minute for a goal now and AWB was down for over a...

First is pretty soft. Seems a knee on knee is enough for penalties these days even if there's no actually foot contact. Majority of those incidents used to be just waved away 10-15 years ago. It was very similar to Rashford v Nottingham Forest...

At this point I think Palmer is better drifting out wide and coming into space. Second half he was in centrally and too many moves were breaking down with him making over ambitious passes. Long term yeah he could be an option just like so many of...

Gallagher would be great for West Ham, Palace (as shown in his year loan), Fulham, Everton if they were actually a desirable team to play for etc. Spurs link seems to crop up aswell so reality is he'll be sacrificed for your FFP requirements and...
