Liverpool are awful

Leeds and villa can fuck off.

When the fuck did the EFL trophy become the Papa John's Trophy?

Think I saw a tweet about it in the last week, so only recently.

😂

Papa John's is the pizza shop version of the EFL trophy.

I'll take it if it's there but I'm not going to go out of my way to get some.

I'm enjoying today so far ☺️

 

 

That was fucking comical

Southampton become the 29th team to top the premier league. 

We was one of them.... once! 😒

I saw that on the Beeb.  It described us as being top in 2011(?) after we won 4-0 at QPR.

We must have been top in 2001 too after the first 3 games?

Correct. Last hit the top about 5 or 6 games in that season I think after a game at Arsenal

That was my last trip to Highbury.  They had pre match messages from fans in the programme with one that said "We're top if you ignore Bolton".  We were right next to the dividing fence when Ricketts fired in the equaliser. The looks on their faces as the away end went mental!

Could well have been my last time too - whichever was the latter with this game and Farrelly from the corner flag. Erupted in that away end.

I loved going to Highbury yet not keen on the Emerites. Lovely stadium but too sterile, like most modern grounds

Many a good sessions in the Drayton arms at arsenal

Absolutely, Highbury & Upton Park were great away trips that the new grounds don't come close to matching in atmosphere ......White Hart Lane was another proper football ground that i'll bet is the same now.

I'm willing to put up with the new Den because it's massively increased my chances of getting home in one piece !!

Also, it's a bit tough on Wimbledon & Brentford who've both moved into shiny new grounds but their fans haven't been able to go to them yet.

Aye

Was right next to them too

Most banter etc directed at some angry cockney type in a pink shirt

The word seems to be that OGS days at United numbered if they lose at Everton.  I'm hoping for a draw to save him for another couple of weeks at least.

Everton are a bit shit without Richarlison stretching teams and causing havoc with his runs

Everton haven't won a game since 3rd of October, they were title contenders a fortnight ago.  That seemed to be based on beating Brighton and WBA, and they conceded 4 goals in those.  They'll be just above half way as usual.

OK, yes one stand out result, some acceptable performances and and some poor one's, that's what Everton do.

just saying nothing's changed on the evidence so far.  And they've still got Pickford.

No they aren't, and I'm quite enjoying watching it

A slither of a silver lining to our shit situation
