Anyone else got a “Yemen Emergency Appeal” ad at the bottom of their thread? :(

Where was this Everton against us, where was leaky Aston Villa against us?
Unfortunately we are at a stage where we are a massive name on anyone’s fixture list but not good enough to actually warrant that. So everyone raises their game against us and we’re not good enough to deal with it. Teams like Arsenal, West Ham and Spurs don’t have to deal with that as often as us and thus some games are easier.

That's been true for ages, but the players should be prepared for that mentally.

The difference in enthusiasm from Tyler for the Newcastle goal vs the Spurs goal is genuinely disgraceful unprofessionalism.

I hope they’re not going to be doing this camera on the Saudis thing for every game now, it’s boring already.,

I'm not listening, but if be shocked of it was any worse than the difference in commentator enthusiasm for goals United concede compared to the goals we score.
