I believe the modern vernacular is "mid".

Sitting in the exact middle of the table at Christmas, this is the appropriate term.

Are Chelsea a bad good team or a good bad team? It's hard to tell anymore

Those that continue to insist the former get met with more hollow laughter every week.

This week I learned that Alexis MacAlllister was born on Christmas Eve. While Gary McAlllister was born on Christmas Day

[Tigerstyle]

And Alexis brother was left home alone in their youth

Ok that's enough football for the day

I know that Newcastle have a fair amount of injuries, but I don't think that's the biggest issue going on here. Really does feel like teams have figured out how to defend/attack against them. The side that started today was arguably their best XI outside of two positions, and Forest have thoroughly outplayed them.

[Gazz]

We're just knackered everywhere. It's the half yard of difference between playing when fatigued versus playing when rested. Football is a running game and most of the team can't run as much as they need to to play at the level required.

[Colly]

Can't use fatigue as the excuse here, we were 1-0 up fortunately but had no control over the game whatsoever. Just really naive tactically, and poor squad selection given the bench. God knows what the Hall contract situation is since we're suddenly giving him minutes, he'd have been useful to bed in two months ago. We lack any plan B, if Bruno isn't controlling play he's a headless chicken, and that doesn't help the 17 year old next to him. Almiron being the only right winger in the world to not even own a right foot never mind one he can kick with isn't ideal either.

Forest by far the better side, and our away form has finally infected the home.

Liverpool no longer miss Diogo Jota

Very very good 2nd half. Good energy. Now to lose another away game tamely Saturday. 🤗

What a lively start Brentford/Wolves has had...

[Kyle]

Proper cheesy FIFA goal puts us ahead. Lovely little square pass across the box.

[Szumi]

Absolutely hate penalties like that one and it seems like City are the ones who always get those soft calls. Onana's arm is directly in front of his face. If it doesn't hit his arm, it hits him square in the face. He's protecting himself AND it's clear the ball wouldn't have been a shot on target if it doesn't hit the arm.

 

If Liverpool got that penalty given to them in a tied game - even against Everton - I would still hate the call.

[Lineker]

Bah.

[Bobfoc]

Are all the top clubs trying to avoid winning now?

[Colly]

Four minutes wasted for that stupid VAR review.

[Lineker]

Fuck me, what a goal.
