Alex McCarthy. Simple as.

Neither team looked great tonight in ‘El Crappico’ but that’s a shocking result for Watford. Don’t see what good sacking Ranieri will do, they’re set up to be a yo-yo club and always will be under this owner.

Expand  

Watford looked far more likely in the first half. But didn't really create much. There was a João Pedro shot, when King was in the middle in a far better position. The two had a bit of shouting between them, and that was that for them.

One Norwich goal was a super finish by Sargent when the pass was behind him, the second Watford were in a slump for and the third was an own goal.

Neither team looked that good.

Interesting to see both Ings and Targett on the bench for Villa. Not sure that move has gone quite as Ings expected. 

Expand  

No, Ings hasn't cemented a starting place yet but I'm sure he didn't move just for the money 😉

As for Targett, he's rightly lost his place to Digne and will need to move on (and probably drop down a division) if he wants regular game time now. 

Everton still look very poor. Surprised Gordon has been left out cos he's been in good form recently and spared their blushes at times. 

It's all getting a bit niggly now. Can see someone getting a red card in this one.

Deserved lead for Villa. 

I thought Everton would be fine cos of how poor the bottom 4 teams are but now I'm not so sure. Can't see them getting back into this game.

Draw would be good. Would quite like to see leeds go down too tbh.

Expand  

Leeds and Newcastle are not both going to go down this season, that's a pointless hope.

Leeds to win convincingly please. Newcastle getting zero points is what we should want a) as Saints fans and b) as people who f**king hate Newcastle now

I could see Leeds, Newcastle, Watford/Norwich going. Burnley are low on points but they have 3 games in hand on Leeds and 5 in hand on the team in 17th. If they get a couple of good results in that they are very competitive. One of Watford or Norwich could scrape something together too with a bit of luck, they are not that far from Leeds. Leeds might completely implode if these injuries continue to mount up.

Feels fanciful to me, and based almost entirely on the fact that Norwich just so happened to win yesterday.

If Leeds win then that goes a long way to helping their relegation fears and further fucks over Newcastle. 

A draw makes it more likely that they both stay up (because Leeds aren't going down) than it makes it likely that they both go down.

Newcastle to lose every time.

They’ve done this before, they are not a great side but they do have some very good players. I’m sure they’ll string a few crucial wins at some point.

Absolutely. Anyone who doesn’t want Newcastle to lose is an enemy of football

They'd better get some soon. 10 defeats in their last 13 now.

the "narrative" well and truly written for the weekend, barring something remarkable in another game.

The wonderful 'Stevie G', (with our 'Phillip C') wins at his old local rival's manor. Such a wonderful manager, I am sure the football journo's will proclaim

Not too sure that Ings will be that bothered, the move was about one thing and one thing only, which is his perogative of course.  Feel a bit for Matt Target,  he had a good season last year, but now this himself frozen out.

Remember when Everton were going to smash through the glass ceiling with big Ronald K and his mega bucks transfer ‘warchest’ ?

LOL!! 🤣🤣🤣

Expand  

What's the criteria for earning the fabled name of 'Big'? Koeman is 5' 11" so I'd have thought 'average' would be more suitable.

Pompey losing to Sunderland in their big game.

Expand  

I hadn’t realised as well that their £2m ‘Marquis’ signing joined Lincoln last week and has equalised for them at Plymouth.

Newcastle score. 🤬 come on Leeds (never ever thought I’d say that)

Expand  

Unfortunately the reality is they will buy themselves out of trouble and remain in the league.  Much as I really want them to be relegated, it's just not going to happen because the bottom clubs are really poor this year.

Whatever people's feelings towards Newcastle, for the good of our position I'd rather they got the points today than Leeds.

Expand  

I trust us to sort out our position at the end (not that you don't), and would be happy if Newcastle didn't pick up another point for the rest of the season.

With the next league fixtures over two weeks away, not a single Premier League match was postponed this weekend. Strange coincidence, considering there's usually 2-3 matches called off every week.
