Damn, we'll never know if Villa 3 Fulham 1 would have trumped a Newcastle 1 Arsenal 1 for MOTD top-billing...

Newcastle league record same as ours. Does this mean they are in crisis?

Could have done with Arsenal getting another, then we would have gone above Newcastle on alphabetical order!

Indeed, the pile on that we are in crisis has been a bit overblown for a team undefeated in 5.

That’s a handy result, and way for Newcastle to lose. That’ll really deflate them.

They have already played two of the SkySix though. We've only played bottomfeeders

Of the nine PL games this weekend, only ours and Forest v Sunderland did not feature a goal in end of second half stoppage time

For anyone missing the days of the back 4 having no confidence in Olsen.R, watching FC Midtjylland v Randers is bringing back some memories.

The 2 FCM centre backs would literally rather get tackled than risk playing back to their keeper, even with no-one within 20 yards of the keeper.

West Ham can only do one thing at a time...no one told them that they will have to deal with the ball coming back in again.

I don’t really understand this xG business. How does this equate to West Ham expecting to score more than Everton?

I think it means thst Everton's chances were relatively difficult.  Can only remember the goal which wasn't easy and a shot from N'Diaye which was more of a backpass from distance.

Can't remember West Ham having a better chance mind.
