Maupay was a very good signing for Brighton. Liked the look of him in the Championship. Think he's one of only a few players worth looking at from any of these clubs facing relegation

Loved his little comment there about Guendouzi's lack of "humility".  :D But to be fair I can understand why the Arsenal players wanted to beat his arse at the end there. Injures their goalie only to score an injury time winner. (I know he didn't injure Leno on purpose but still...)

On another note, can I just say how pleased I am to see the players celebrating goals together. Socially distant celebrations like elbow bumps are a bit sad. Bring on the man love tomorrow at Goodison!

Raul Jimenez looks like the quintessential Real Madrid player. Would be surprised if Wolves holds onto him for another season.

Love that Jimenez, with 14 goals, has broken the record for the most premier league goals for Wolves (they have had 5 years in the PL). Shame about John Richards, Derek Dougan, Bobby Gould, Hugh Curran, Kenny Hibbert, Ray Crawford, Dennis Westcott and 11 others since 1945 who have bettered that and have been airbrushed from history (Steve Bull never managed his goals in the top flight)

Cue Liverpool's first ever title

This, the problem I have with this is that these people, leineker etc. should know better they are around long enough to know, but didn't even acknowledge past achievements. I don't mean to dilute wolves achievements at the moment by the way I think they are a fantastic team

I never thought I'd say this but I think Micah Richards has overtaken Jermaine Jenas for being the most bland and annoying and everywhere you turn pundit around. Do they share an agent by any chance?

Not happy, was looking forward to seeing Hasenhüttl in his gloves, very disappointed. Strange he wasn't wearing them considering, how appropriate they are in the current climate.

The Villa player clearly cheated.....yet somehow a Liverpool player might have touched himfor some reason. Free pass given to a cheat and even worse, a feeble attempt to justify it.

Nice that the City crowd are trying to lift their players after the Premier League disappointment. Liveliest they've sounded all season.

Crowd noise is irritating but having booing as well, no need.

Norwich got booed off on TV after they were relegated, I doubt even their fans would have done that in reality.

I can think of only one ground where not having the sound of booing would be incongruous

They said they were going to look at our pen, but didn't have time. They all said it was a pen.

So, basically they could have made time for it, as it was the most contentious thing of our game and should have given us a win. Bit of a worrying trend, to be honest. Since the restart, we've been getting fucked every which way, as VAR and the refs have a bit of a day off in our games. That better not continue on into next season as a way to cool our jets and make the league closer, and thus more interesting to the neutral, because the way its going, we're going to absolutely spank the fuck out of it again next season.

It is going to continue into the next year, you can count on it. ‘Support the underdog’ screenplay will be written by referees every week. Our main players are already labeled as cheats, so don’t expect penalties.

We’ll see I guess.

There’s no doubt the further ahead we’ve been, the more refs seem to be of the mind ‘they don’t need penalties so we won’t give them any’. I’ll take that every season if we’re this far ahead. If it starts costing us important games next season then we really need to be less nice as a club and start calling it out.

BTW Who calculated the expected goals, Roman Abrahamovitch? 1.2 odd vs 2.5 was ridiculous.

The two penalties in the Arsenal Watford game were interesting to say the least.

Arsenal's was given for I guess the fact that the defender barged Lacazette in the air, so ok, probably.
Then Watford's was after the forward played the shot and was kicked afterwards again ok, just about.

Then, next game, you watch Baines take out a Bournemouth player after connecting with the ball first, scissoring him and nothing...... the old adage "he gets the ball first" was used...

They really have to sort out VAR next year, its so inconsistently applied, if you play through the player after the ball is it a pen?

If the Ars-wat game is the standard for penalties then we have been short changed this season by about 15 pens at a minimum, its just woefully inconsistent. Even looking at last week and Mo being body checked, its maddening.
