Can see a few cards here with the way the game will pan out and Palace's pace on the counter attack even without Zaha. Couple that seem very long all things considered: Walker @ 9/1 Eze @ 12/1 Mad double @ 130/1

Yeah it’s definitely not what it was - I didn’t mind it to begin with as seemed fresh with the new people ( all of whom are decent in their own right ) But now it’s lost its USP! Kate as host instantly makes me want to turn it off, she isn’t even a bad host per se but just doesn’t fit the show at all— it seems aswel what they used to take the piss out off they are now themselves - riddled with adverts , jokes dragging on for weeks that are not funny ( think they purposely laugh more at Kate etc to make them feel comfortable which is fine but it’s a cringe listen most of the time ) Vish and Pete now seem bored- Andy is very knowledgeable and a good guy but doesn’t fit the show either... But of a shame and can’t really knock them for cashing in especially if it keeps things going in these times, Hope post covid ( next season ) they go back to the original 4 on Mondays / Fridays- ( even a mix the other days won’t really matter just would be nice for that consistency and standard for the 4 on them days ) will keep giving it a chance until then- still really hits the note when Marcus Jim and Luke are on- Marcus is superb host in his own right and perfect for this Agree with this. I still like it, it's easy listening when going for a walk or something but yeah it's not got the same spark. And like you, I don't blame them. Be nice to have the original 4 on a couple of times a week though.

Fascinating, 2 heavyweights eyeing each other up, tactical game of chess, engrossing. In other words, shite. Plain as day Man Utd are happy with a draw - and I certainly don't blame them for that - and tbh I'm not sure Liverpool would see it as a terrible result either. Makes for a shite spectacle though.

Whats most impressive for me is, as cliche as it is, they can win without being remarkable. Thought they were fairly average tonight against a decent Southampton side but won 2-0 still. Bodes well for them. Combined with the investment off the pitch they're clearly in it for the long run.

Good work Nate. As mentioned unlucky with JWP too.

Glad I don't have JWP here. Doing a McTominay, fouling all over the joint but avoiding a card.

JWP has had a couple of niggly fouls too so imagine he's on his last warning.

Easily one of my biggest current football pet hates. Not just for this game, it's mentioned whenever talking about Southampton. So fucking boring.

Apparently a previous game between these two finished 9-0.

BT lasted a whole 3 minutes before mentioning the 9-0.

That passage of play was magical.

Azpilicueta really sold it too with the histrionics after. Aye. Worst part of it was how badly Azpi could have potentially landed, luckily no damage done.

Oh aye, tremendously thick either way.

Looks far worse than it actually was. It's undoubtedly a shit challenge but the fact it's caused the player to go flying in the air makes it look way worse.

365 in play offer too.

Bayern showing a little fragility you say? Best ensure maximum pressure is put on them by everyone behind them dropping points.

Leeds have been rubbish regardless, but the pitch looks appalling for Premier League standard.

Roma deciding the title race wasn't for them and pumped 3-0 by Golazio.

Rome Derby just kicked off. Union v Leverkusen in Germany, 5th v 3rd. Also Porto v Benfica later. Viva Europe

I mean I've been very clear in here that I'm on a stinking run.

Can't resist a dabble on Eze to pick up a card at 11/1. Got 2 in his last 3 and will presumably have plenty of covering to do tonight.

Distract, distract, distract.

Be lucky if they finish with 10.

How the fuck have they not scored there?

There it is. :lol:
