Quite the decision today. Do I watch Everton’s first match at their new stadium, or Palace vs Forest which may cause a riot?

 

I’m going with Palace v Forest

 

Given the bad start to the season, plus the disaster midweek, you’d think Russell Martin would just play it safe for Rangers’ game today, which is already a must-win.

Nope. He’s trying out a strikerless formation and they’re losing to St Mirren LMAO.

 

And he’s keeping Mikey Moore on the bench. I thought that’d be a good loan spot for him but maybe not!

 

The Norfolk Cafu undone.

 

Grealish starts. Ooooooh!

 

Is that Brexit or is that not just the whole "can't give professional contracts to kids under 17" thing?

 

Looks like Moore coming on for second half

 

This Findlay Curtis kid has been on the pitch for five minutes and looks comfortably the best player on it. Already scored and had Rangers only other shot on target.

Could be a bit of a talent.

 

Brexit. Irish kids used to be able to go over to the UK at any age before Brexit. I went to school with Robbie Brady, he went over to United at 16 as one example. Knew a couple of 15/16 year olds that went to Celtic and Villa too. Post Brexit they can’t join until they turn 18. Mason Melia another example won’t join Spurs until January.

 

Great counter, from Everton. Fuck, we could’ve been up 2-0

 

I truly think he’s gonna have a fantastic season for Everton, so I got him for FPL. Already got an assist!

 

Are Palace fans singing a song calling Marinakis a “fat bastard” or am I hearing things?

 

That was a thrill ride. So emotional about the first goal, but we've also rode our luck at the back. Welbeck's sitter, van Hecke off the post, Tarkowski's backpass, etc.

If Brighton score next I think we'll cave in.

 

Yup:

Good to see his team is losing.

 

Concerned why Baleba came off at half time

 

Sesko still not starting?

 

It’s fitting that Forest are sponsored by Bally’s because I absolutely hate Bally’s lol worst streaming experience ever when they had the Hornets games

 

wtf Wellbeck lol

Players these days either don’t practice pens or way overthink / overdo it with these weird run-ups

 

Welbeck with a cool 1.54 xG today

 

Does that include the pen?

 

Yeah. He basically had 2 chances, though one was behind him so not his fault

 

Started Sels and benched Pickford. RIP.

 

Just saw that Sheffield United are rock bottom of The Championship and therefore behind Wednesday. Small win for their fans in these trying times.
