Yeah that was me Just no incentive for them to go out on a limb against a top team when the potential negative attention would potentially hinder their career progression, might as well bottle it and pass the buck onto VAR

Pickford back in the Everton lineup, looks like he bottled Thursday or Everton pulled him out as the occasion has become too big for him

really poor by Dan Burn, where is he going

Also just because he didnt injure him doesnt mean that the tackle couldnt have. Thats why it should be a red

Surprised, but he doesnt go for the ball so should be red (but so should all similar challenges imo) Why should you get a red when you try to play the ball and miss time it, when challenges like that normally you can get away with

This happened at Goodison a few years back

Beofr today, they've apparently never played or beat us lot on the 17th day of March. Encouraging.

Would be convenient for him

Its not like we are creating loads of chances for Wood atm, would Wilson require a totally different way of playing that we cant risk until safe?

FFP crippling them and helping us, i like their thinking!

Was just listening to the radio and the caller was one of the doctors hired to sit in the stands at St James each game (he was calling about an unrelated subject). He said on average a fan is taken to hospital every match with heart attacks in middle aged men the big issue. Random info but figured it would be useful to add some data to the ongoing ‘debate’ about match interruptions.

The high camera angle (the only one which shows him stepping across Murphy) shows that there was 4 players between him an the incident, it was impossible for him to knowingly give the right decision

Shelveys goal at Leeds should have been disallowed for a double kick but not really a dodgy decison

Havertz saying because Burn is tall he has to jump like that In that case because youre fast we can pull your shirt and clip your heels to slow you down.

My big issue with VAR is that for the big teams the refs tend to give the 50:50 calls in favour of them and then wait for VAR to overturn. We had three incidents in the game that had he given us the decision VAR would not have overturned. Frustrating as hell how weak officials can influence games via a 'loophole' in the VAR process

Shouldnt be on the pitch

Not sure if I prefer this or the actual starting 11...

"Now if you dont mind im off to the airport for a week in the Algarve"

Won his last one sadly

Nah, you now have the privilege of hating him more than everyone else

Extra garlic sauce now

We were 2nd bottom Its almost like he's a terrible manager...

Time to order the post match kebab

Just finished work on his Barnsey tat

Can we have a thread title change please? ”Eddie Howe: February's Manager of the Month and Beth: Time of the Month”
