Are any of these matches worth watching? Which is the pick of them?
The villa game is boring and the ref is weird.

Fulham Newcastle is quite entertaining actually, and Fulham are putting a lot of pressure on Newcastle, they’re not clinical enough though and might get done on a counter if they don’t capitalise on their chances

Why would the ref blow for HT there? Looked like a good break for Brentford, and the ball was out of play for most of the added time with AV taking those corners. Refs are so bad this season.

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 hits it against DCL and they'll probably lose now as a result.

If you want to stay up then you have to reign in your principles at key points in games, they simply can't or won't do it.

Watching the Villa game, but not very exciting.
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.

Think they reek of a team that will go down, continue to build on the way they play football and if they get the recruitment right will come back stronger. But maybe I'm just blinded by Kompany.

Been somewhat impressed by how competetive they have made most games while sticking to their style though and they certainly could have had more points with a bit more luck. Players seems to continue to try very hard for him too despite the bad results which is a good sign.

19 points at this stage is an awful return though obviously

Ofcourse Man Utd make Brentford look like prime Chelsea.

How many shots did they have against us?

It is embarrassing, ETH should be ashamed.

Brentford with a Scholesy special vs Milan. Swing with one boot, let the ball hit you on the standing foot. Incredible skill

Only 2 wins in the last 35 games from the bottom 7 teams by the look of it, the the bad teams used to this bad ?

Any of those teams who puts a run together can rapidly catch Palace.

If my Aunty had bollocks, etc but if we hadn’t have pissed away 5 points the last two games, if the Villa score stays the same, we’d have been 7 points behind them with two games in hand.

Edit: Now 6.

Villa keep dropping points, but MU is way too erratic to actually benefit from it

Emery's Villa crumbling under pressure. Spurs will get fourth.
