    New Year Weekend Telly

    Everton aren't looking good.

    #2
    Up until West Ham’s (fluky) goal, this has been possibly the least-eventful PL match I’ve ever seen.

    A real ‘New Year’s Day-hangover’ of a game.

        Wednesday v Wayne Rooney's Derby County was a fine example of why possession stats are a load of bollocks. WRDC had loads of the ball but were really static and just kept making easy passes into unthreatening areas, especially after we went ahead. Our goal was delightfully scruffy and now we're out of the relegation places and unlike 2020 have won on NYD, so that's definitely an early example of this year being an improvement on last.

            How did they get good? They were terrible, last season got halted, they came back really quite good.

                That was a great cross by Wan-Bissaka and an even better header by Martial.

                  That was some save by De Gea!

                    Ironic that they put in what sounds like the perfect Pulis performance a week after he left.

                      Villa get an equaliser then conceded a silly penalty and are now trailing again.

                      Tbh Villa look like they're the home side here but I can see Man United winning.

                        Exciting game. Villa are getting much better but fair play to Man Utd, they played well.

                          I've not been paying an awful lot of attention myself but I think you've misremembered that.

                          On checking, Villa only managed two wins from ten games after the restart and stayed up by the skin of their teeth because Bournemouth and Watford's form in the run in was even worse (and due to the goal Sheffield United were incorrectly disallowed due to occluded cameras in their first game back).

                          Then they spent ?78M in the close season which I would imagine is at least part of the reason they're now doing better.

                          This isn't a snark as I like Villa's current side and have enjoyed watching them for a few seasons, I just don't think they hugely benefited from the Covid break (or "did a Leeds" as I hope it becomes known).

                            Ah, I remembered them staying up and assumed they'd had a revival. But even so, 78m or not, it's been impressive. They played some good stuff last night, and Grealish was everywhere.

                              Yeah, Grealish is pretty much my favorite current PL player to watch when I can be bothered with it and they've been an attractive side since at least their last season in D2.

                                Was that really a penalty?

                                    Kane and Son do it again.

                                      Leeds are playing some nice football.

                                        For what good it's doing them. They've been ruthlessly Mourinhoed in this game and will have to do something more than nice in the second half.

                                            This is such a weird game to watch. Normally a 3-0 win would be described as "comfortable" but Spurs don't look comfortanle at all.

                                                Stupid from Doherty there. 3-0 up and a couple of minutes left there really is no reason to make a challenge like that.
