Don't want Everton players at LFC, but I could see Man United take a chance on Barkley, if they fancy replacing Mata with another slow AM. They probably fancy doing better than getting Lukaku for striker, though.

I know playing with 10 men is hard, but Everton didn't seem to even try.
Didn't think it was even a tackle from Funes Moron, he deliberately wanted to hurt. Should be a longer than a three-game ban.
Everton had no shots on target in the Merseyside derby, wonder when's that happened...
If I had to choose between being in the Europa League next season or beating Everton 4 - 0 tonight, I'd choose the trashing tonight. Let's make it ugly.
Yeah, City are 18 games unbeaten against their hosts. That's embarrassing. Maybe they'll change that tonight, Silva is missing and Delph and Fernando aren't that intimidating midfielders. Although hard to see how the Toon's defence could keep Aguero quiet all game.
Bojan as striker isn't working in a game like this. The Potters have only looked like creating something when Arnautovic has drifted to the center. Hughes should put Diouf up front.
Kane's goal was superb.
Switched to the other match at half-time, sounds like I missed an eventful 2nd half here... Anyway, happy with the points, the quest for the European spots stays alive.
Switched to this game at half-time. Great call on Vardy, but Moss ruined the game with those penalty calls, neither should have been given.
Ps. Cresswell's goal was sublime.
The handball could have been given, although it would have been a bit harsh.
It felt like a slow half, somehow, maybe explained by our secong-string defence and midfield. Could say we're lucky to be 2-0 up despite not creating much, could say that Bournemouth should have defended better.
Btw...
The canaries will feel hard done by the referee, a foul lead to Sunderland's second and I thought one of the Kaboul-on-Mbokani penalty shouts was a penalty.
The call was correct, I meant lucky that there was contact. Both players were stretching for the ball and I think Wisdom actually first...
Yeah, I had been hoping that FTWD would have spent more time on the first days, but instead when the main characters decided to head for the desert or something during the beginning phase, the army arrived and the following episode had skipped weeks forward. That was very disappointing.
I would have started Allen as well, either instead of Lallana, Firmino or Milner. Our midfield feels too light now.
Also a big call to leave Sturridge on the bench again. I know Origi is in form, but Sturridge is still the better player. You wouldn't leave Suarez on the bench just because...
And Arsenal own their stadium, West Ham will not. That's a massive difference. Just like if you own a £100,000 house that you can upon your wish to sell or rent, instead of paying rent for 99 years after which you still won't have your own stadium but have to pay for one.
You called them unethical. But there's nothing unethical about putting an offer on the table. It's up to other parties to better it. Apparently no one did. It's fair play to West Ham and good that a big club is getting a big stadium that would otherwise have been left underused, I presume from...
How are West Ham ripping off the tax payer? They have not made this decision. They made an offer. People are directing their hate at West Ham even though the club has had no say in this. You should blame the stadium's owner if you're not happy, not West Ham.
So, Spurs were not interested when...
Well who is wrong, the one who requests or the one who accepts? The ground's owners, the London Legacy Development Corporation, looked at their options and decided to accept the offer. Don't you think they would have accepted a better offer if one was on the table? Why would West Ham fork more...
Spurs, lol. They've never been interested afaik.
And what, selling to developers? You do realize this stadium was just built a few years ago? Tear it down already? Pls, post realistic alternatives or just say you haven't got any.
