30 in and Sunderland have not impressed me yet. First time I’ve watched them this season. Everton on the other hand look quite good.
But you know how football works. They need to get a 2nd whilst dominating before it changes…so cmon Sunderland.
They are both dogshit. Sunderland will be lucky to stay up and Everton will finish bottom half.
This is the sort of game Everton win year in year out, against fucking dross. This was nailed on.
Thierno Barry isn’t very good is he?
Since my post 10 minutes ago bucketing Sunderland they have come back well. Could be a good 2nd half. Everton could regret a couple of good chances missed.
Lovely little deflection on that one from Xhaka.
You don’t mind to see it.
Grealish getting fouled more than Maradona at the 86 World Cup.

Level on points with LFC now…18 points after 10 has them looking pretty safe, it would take a horrendous collapse for them to be in trouble, particularly with some genuinely woeful teams to pick up points from. Realistically, they are probably halfway home already, it has been about 10 years since a side with 36 points went down.
It has been a good while since Sunderland were higher on the table than Newcastle, next derby might be fierce.

Welcome to Sunderalnd was brilliant car crash tv but everyone involved in football should be forced to watch it again to see how even a historically clownish organization can turn things around in relatively short order as long you take your medicine and stop doing the dumb shit you were doing in the avoid of avoiding that short term pain

From the BBC
Only seven times has a team on 19 points, the tally of second-placed Manchester City, or 18 points, which is what Liverpool, Sunderland and Bournemouth are on, after 10 games won the title.
Nobody has ever done it from fewer points, which would ‘rule out’ any other hopefuls.

I said it before and I’ll say it again: there’s not a derby game in English football I enjoyed watching more as a neutral than Newcastle vs. Sunderland - the one where DiCanio’s Sunderland beat Newcastle 3:0 and subsequently managed to beat relegation was the definitive highlight. Just bonkers football and atmosphere.

It’s on then…. 
Seems like a silly use of the statistics (which naturally only cover the PL era), given that ‘only seven times’ is also over 20% of the seasons in the population. Not exactly incredibly rare, particularly when one considers that we appear to be at the end of the era basically defined by ManC over the last 10 years or so where the winner really had to have 90+ points - a larger percentage of the population that the one the BBC piece cites. I don’t think Arsenal is going to hit 90 points this season, but they do have a very good chance of winning the title now.

Don’t remember the ‘Invincibles’ scoring most of their goals from corners.
Perhaps Thierry Henry would like to weigh in on this bollocks.

Utd ahead after dominating a shit Spurs side.
So I watched the great Oasis last night in Sydney - best ever.
2nd gig tonight I walk over to the stadium because I live nearby. Bottle of red in the park. Listen to all the songs. Liam sounds good.
Get home watch Spurs v United.
How boring!!! Terrible match.
And just as I’m about to hit enter the cunts score.

So much for Frank being the next Messiah, the guy is an average manager.
& Simons is still a dud.
The rise of Spurs up the table this season is a very strange thing because every time Ive seen they’ve looked awful
