Cole Palmer looked like Matt Le Tissier today, never payed too much attention to the lad, his performance against Luton was really impressive.

Just came in here to post this. Outrageous strike

[TaylorJ_01]

That Villa penalty totally pathetic that's a pen nowadays. Guy running away from goal gets a tiny tap, takes a step then collapses, and they get a basically guaranteed goal for it

As weak as ours against Forest.  

[Lush Vlad]

Nah. The Isak one was soft and I didn’t think it was a pen. The non-penalty earlier on Isak was more of a foul, I thought.
 

But the Duran one was far worse that it was given. It’s a dive after being brushed on the side of his foot, following a heavy touch and running away from goal in a crowded box. 
 

I see we are back to the ‘well, there is contact’ argument from pundits. Seemingly the refs think the same. It isn’t a non-contact sport FFS.

I don’t think either were penalties too. But the refs gave it in both instances and the ‘there’s contact’ stops VAR from intervening. Weak as piss.

How on earth did we lose to Everton, they are absolutely dreadful!!

Clear penalty, it was a vicious hack at Duran.

 

Last time I saw such a terrible clear assault of a fowl was when Matty Cash tripped Bentancur over and sent him to live in heaven with the angles.

Suspect they are going to revert to the mean now after that little spurt of decent results.

[The Butcher]

Everton would be three points behind us without the point deduction.

The football they play isn't the best to watch but it's been effective especially at home.

[Aiston]

Everton are really not that worse than us this season.

They’re 3-1-6 at home. FORTRESS GOODISON.

[Optimistic Nut]

You wouldn't bet on Everton getting many points in the next 4 games. They're in a relegation battle.

[Erikse]

Bournemouth finding their form against us, Everton finding their form against us, and now also Nottingham? Not sure whether we just handed them the lifeline, or if they stepped up their game against us.

Agreed, they’re nothing special - we’re getting beat every week.

They’ll be fine based on this seasons form as a whole. If they didn’t have ten points deducted then they’d only be 3 points behind us.

They had a decent run out of keeping with the last 3 or so seasons. They've just lost 3 in a row and that could easily go to 7 looking at their next games. They should be fine, but they're in trouble if Luton keep picking up.

Aye. Exactly the same

Just now, RS said:

Aye. Exactly the same

Facts are facts - if they hadn’t had points deducted they’d be on 26 to our 29. They won’t go down this season.

Even if Luton do pick up, Brentford will decline just as quick- looking at Brentford’s fixtures there’s a very good chance they won’t get any more points until Burnley match in March.

That has to be a backpass doesn't it?

 

Came in to post about this.

 

Last night in the Man Utd game the Forest defender passed the ball back to the keeper, he skied his clearance which then bounced back into his hands. It should have been a backpass and I cant understand why it wasn't given, did the commentary team mention anything at the time?

Fortunately for Brentford they actually have to play football matches and they aren’t decided in advance.
