The English Premier League 2016/17™

Then what are nembo and Geoffrey waffling on about.

@Nembo_Kid just can’t stop talking about Spurs and we weren’t even playing today.

My big fear is he could be a Spurs supporter again before we know it.

You can’t stop contradicting yourself when Chelsea are involved.

The only comments I made on Chelsea today were that no penalty has been awarded against them at Stamford Bridge in the league this season and their opponents Swansea should have had a penalty awarded today as should Hull City when they visited Stamford Bridge last month.

There’s no contradictions there. You paranoia reaches new levels.

You put forward a conspiracy theory.

I debunked that with facts that showed Spurs have been bigger benefactors of dodgy refereeing decisions this season.

I then contrasted your omerta when Spurs have been involved in dodgy decisions this season to your unfounded propaganda on Chelsea being major benefactors.

You have failed to address your silence on the multitude of dodgy decisions Spurs have been on the end of this season.

You cited three games involving Spurs where you are now alleging Spurs benefited from dodgy decisions.

You referenced Spurs home game against Liverpool, a 1-1 draw in which the Liverpool goal came from a penalty awarded erroneously as the foul was committed outside the box. This you acknowledged on 27 August, the day of the match but are now saying curiously silent on.

You referenced what you are now saying is a controversial penalty Spurs were awarded at Woolwich on 6 November. The day of the game, you said it was a definite penalty for Spurs.

Spurs unquestionably benefited from a bad decision at Manchester City at the end of January. You erroneously stated on a number of occasions this evening that I remained silent on bad decisions that went in Spurs favour when I had referred to the decision in the Manchester City game shortly after the game.

You have taken an awful mauling here. Self inflicted as well.

Well if you’re taking my account of events into consideration, then consider I fully believe Swansea should not have been awarded a penalty today which once again makes a mockery of your double standards.

Who gives a fuck?

Stonewall penalty denied to Swansea

Who’s currently leading in the argument between @GeoffreyBoycott and @Nembo_Kid

Some display from Pickford between the sticks for Sunderland. Kept them in it today.

I’ve yet to be beaten yet anyway.

The holy goalie flapping his fist at the ball.

@GeoffreyBoycott gave him an awful hammering in that particular exchange

He looked very rusty today, far from his best. Made one good save alright.

O’Shea was pretty solid tonight though, dealt with Lukaku very well.

I watched all of this game (not 2 mins on motd) lukaku should have had a few today and caused all kinds of problems for sunderlands back 6.

Guye was some signing from villa. He’s a serious player. He was a steal at that price imo.hes one of the best if not the best midfielders in the prem at the mo.

Everton still unbeaten in 2017 and are playing a really nice style off football.a lot of young players in the team too so who knows what will happen with a few additions in the summer.

I also watched it all and I thought Lukaku was quiet by his standards. Baines & Coleman caused serious trouble down the flanks, Davies got on the ball a lot and they ran rings around our midfield. But I don’t really remember Lukaku creating that much or really having many clearcut chances outside of the goal which in fairness, he was always favourite to get on the break and had a bit of luck with the deflection.

Considering how he usually violates us, I think O’Shea & Kone handled him pretty well. Hard to compete with such a slow midfield- Gibson is laughably immobile and Larsson just doesn’t have any pace. At the same time, if Defoe gets his chance, probably get a 1-1 draw. A lot of the time, he buries the one chance that comes his way.

Sorry skip…
He had three shots that pickford saved two which were fine saves the other was a run of the mill save

Coleman was class again today but the 3 in midfiled were a different class alltogether.

What do you make of guye?

Pickford is a quality keeper.i honestly think sunderland will just stay up but just about!

I genuinely don’t remember him having three shots, I do remember one good save from Pickford alright. But considering he scored a hat-trick earlier in the season and the season before absolutely bossed us in a 6-2 victory where he just ran riot; a couple of shots are hardly that memorable.

See I thought Gueye was shit last season for Villa. I know they were shit in general but he didn’t offer much… obviously his stats suggested otherwise or Everton wouldn’t have signed him and he’s been like a mini-Kante for them, he’s been really good. Got forward a lot today too, caused real problems. Schneiderlin & Davies were impressive too, seem to compliment each other & Barkley nicely.

Pickford is class to be fair, really good with his feet aswell. Looked a small bit rusty today though, couple of unconvincing moments but he is just back from injury. As for staying up, usually I’m more confident… I just think injuries have played havoc with the season- a team at the bottom can’t afford to miss so many players for so long. Cattermole, Kirchhoff, Watmore, Anichebe- you had Pickford up until today & Denayer was missing today. All those fellas would walk into the team and I don’t know if we’re going to pick up enough points without them.

@Fagan_ODowd joins the ranks of conspiracy theorists. He better brace himself for the wrath of @Nembo_Kid.
