Anyone watching the Everton-Chelsea match? Chelsea are getting run ragged! 2-0 down in 20 mins! Naismith is running the show. Really wish we had of gotten him. Great player.
 
Butland absolutely brilliant again. Arsenal finished the times he couldn't pull off a wonder save though
 
Just watched Benteke score a wonderful overhead goal and reminded me what an absolutely disgraceful decision it was to take Jerome's goal from him against Palace.


Martial scores a great goal too!
I said that to my girlfriend as soon as I saw it. Pathetic decision.

Riyad Mahrez taking out 3 Villa defenders

I watched that - absolutely hilarious and he was truly incredible the second half (that wasn't the only time he turned defenders inside out). The clip is clever though - that particular occasion he should have done better but he had a habit of holding onto the ball too long and the clip cuts out just before he gets swamped yet two Leicester players were in good positions
 
Maybe he uses Sir Wessi as a role model <whistle>


(Please pay heed to the [whistle] symbol - Wes was unstoppable / unfaultable on saturday <ok>)

Although I gave him a 9, I feel a bit guilty about saying Wes gave the ball away a couple of times - Squawka tells me he had 88% pass completion!

I see he made Garth's team of the week... He was brilliant
 
Comes with age doesn't it. I think Wes is in his prime now. Has years of experience to go with his undeniable quality is a potent mix. And he says he feels his body is in the best shape of his life!
 
Was hoping to see the pundits view of our recent match on MOTD - but it's not available on i-player?
Am I missing something here? I thought BBC now had the rights to show Prem games on that platform? :emoticon-0112-wonde
Cheers in advance <ok>
 
Newcastle look absolutely toothless and very weak at the back.

They may go down this season. They look awful.
 
Newcastle really are struggling. I did expect them to do bad getting McClaren in, but I had a feeling it would somehow work out for them, especially when they made a few good signings. Luckily, it doesn't look to have clicked yet.
