Is there some way both sides can lose? This ought to be another cracking London derby, but I suspect that West Ham just don't have enough up front to put Chelsea to the sword. Say it quietly but Chelsea were probably the better team first half against Tottenham, sure maybe Conte was a bit tardy...

Oh if only there was a chance of that happening (you beating Arsenal 3-0 that is!:bg:), it has been a long time since I've watched AFTV as Gooners wail and gnash their teeth. I'd love to see Southampton nick a point or three, but I have to confess that I think Arsenal have been good lately. They...

Stoke were good against Arsenal, they probably deserved to get something out of that game, but there again that is their problem; putting the ball in the net when the chance arises. Tottenham have probably the best recent record against Stoke home and away than any other team in the league...

Man United are second in the league, but when you watch them you sometimes wonder how. Agreed, it is very unlikely Mourinho's team will go at City with the sort of attacking flair Liverpool showed in the CL tie, and they might burgle a point. However, as a pundit said last night, this is...

I'm going with a big away win despite the missing players, Everton really have been poor this season and I wouldn't say Allardyce has done much to make them a more formidable outfit. Everton 1 Liverpool 4

Damn, I really must spend more time watching the Championship! Cracking game, cracking drama. Well done Wolves I say, I like your style of football, I like your attacking flair combined with (mostly) defensive discipline. You will grace the PL. Every chance of emulating Bournemouth but with a...

Cracking game in the most unpredictable fixture ever. Dunno how this might end even now, but I do recall being amazed at how leggy Liverpool looked in the second half when we got the Desmond in the PL at Anfield in the PL this season. That may be the best hope any Citeh fans have right now, but...

Yaarp, what I meant by "winner" was match winner, of course Hazard has won more. As for the "twat" comment, well I'm a Spurs fan aren't I? Just fan vernacular mate, I'm likely to describe every player and fan of the club as a "twat". I suspect both players are decent enough human beings in...

Yep, deserved win for West Ham, they just wanted it more than Southampton. TBH I was surprised by the appointment of Sparky, he seems to have carried on seamlessly from his Stoke days, a man perplexed by the brutality of PL football. I have to say that despite that I sort of hope it works out...

I watched this game and saw the inevitable before it happened. Palace go a goal up and try and defend it, nothing learned from the Spurs and Man Utd. games then? Nice fella Roy Hodgson, the sort of bloke you'd be happy to have as a neighbour, but as a progressive football manager of the team you...

Papering over the cracks Arsenal, nobody is fooled, and that would appear to include a large number of the home fans who didn't turn up today. If I was a 'CISKA' fan in the crowd today I don't think I'd be overly concerned by that display...:)

Correct, Hazard is an outstanding player on his day, but when he drops out of a game he really drops out. The thing with Deli is that he can have a sh*t game but still be a game changer, popping up with a goal despite not playing well. Spurs watchers know that last season (when Deli was supposed...

Really pleased for Alli, really pleased about him scoring a brace to annoy the sh*t out of Chelsea fans. He is a game changer, a winner, a bit like rat faced play maker Hazard but much less of a twat.

Absolutely cracking, a monkey off our back, a fine mature performance by Tottenham. Yet more progression of the team under Poch, happy days! :bg:

Don't agree mate, I think he was lively against the Netherlands and he was lively tonight. Always frustrating when a player like that cant stick the ball in the net, but I think he is growing as a player. I hoped he would sink without trace when he went to Citeh, but he hasn't; fact. Would I...

Well, have to say a tad disappointed, cant we beat this lot even in a friendly? Nonetheless, fair game for a friendly and some pleasing attacking movement from England. All too often England look timid at Wembley against the better teams, there were times tonight when they looked like the...

Don't you just love VAR? It surely enhances the live experience right? :crazy:

Yaarp, inevitably they are getting more into this game, for most of it they have been poor though. England still look creative enough going forward though.

Sure, never get carried away by friendlies, but the pace and movement of the England attack with this formation is pleasing to see. Regardless of the result there has been some good stuff by the home team, even more pleasing because they had such a slow start and actually got better...at...

This game now has a real "friendly feel" about it, players in acres of space not being properly closed down, players walking about, whatever the result it means practically nothing. Still, it burned some time (while telling us bugger all about England or the Netherlands), and there was one or...
