    2-0, Yarmolenko again after a terrible pass out from Pickford. It's not like Everton are playing particularly badly, but Cenk Tosun putting a header straight at Fabianski from 6 yards sort of sums up their afternoon so far.

      Everton are playing pretty damn badly. They’re making West Ham look a focussed, coherent side when they’ve been anything but so far this season. Everton have consistently given the ball away in attack, midfield and defence throughout the opening thirty minutes.

        They looked OK for the first 10 minutes. After that I'll admit I haven't been watching too closely.

        As I type Tosun puts another shot at Fabianski, after West Ham just kept dropping off and giving him space. Perhaps there's a reason they're happy to.

          That's a spectacular foul by Masuaku.

            Strange time for a sub by Everton. Why not do that at half time?

              Back at the start of the premier league, when men were men, and man utd's team was made up of players with fairly obvious and serious problems with anger and aggression. and were getting away with near murder a lot of the time, I distinctly remember that Paul Ince would get away with shit that Roy Keane, Eric Cantona or Mark Hughes wouldn't. Essentially Ince was able to commit basically as many fouls as he liked after getting a booking. Whereas the others would have to be a bit more careful. And as for all the times that Bryan Robson in his final years would arrive 1-2 seconds too late into every tackle, and would raise a hand in apology to the ref, and the ref would think of all the times he had died for england, and would pat him gently on the shoulder, and chuckle. But if you go back much further than that, it's essentially impossible for anyone to get sent off.

                If you patted late-career Bryan Robson on the shoulder his collarbone would probably break, but I take your point.

                    I think Wolves are one really good player, short, of a really good team.

                            No, no, no. You've got it all wrong. Burnleys problems this year are down to him and playing the Europa League. Stick to the narrative, man.

                                    Yet another terrifying story of just how weird and alien those muslims are. Thanks for drawing this to our attention.

                                        Only stopped by to say that J Moutinho has just stuck it to J Mourinho.

                                        Thank you.

                                          Well that Man utd game was a bit of a mess. I missed the wolves goal, and on the strength of the first half I didn't know how wolves were going to score. But the way the goal arose wasn't exactly surprising. After doing that weird mourinho thing of passing the ball across the back four repeatedly the ball is played up to paul pogba who has to come back a ways to receive the ball, and has his back to goal when he receives it, with no-one to lay the ball off to, because no-one is showing for the ball, he gets robbed, as happens far too frequently to the players playing in the 3 of the 4-2-3-1, then suddenly Shaw is left without cover, because Alexis sanchez doesn't do that. Fair dues to costa he manages to get the cross in just before he gets to the endline, and it eventually gets to moutinho as fred and fellaini fail to defend the edge of the box.

                                          That's bad for all sorts of reasons, but it ultimately comes down to the impossible job that the front four have at man utd, particularly when it comes to receiving the ball. because of the way man utd aren't allowed pass the ball from defence into midfield.

                                          Great goal by Spurs there. They really needed that. They're looking really sluggish this season. I'm bored of hearing people talking about how Spurs needed to sign players. I don't adhere to the idea that you've got to be running out to buy players for the sake of it. But from a footballing point of view Spurs need another player who could play across the front four, and particularly cover for Harry kane, just to allow their players a bit more rest. Spurs look a bit jaded, compared to themselves in other seasons. They need a player, not to improve them when they're at their best, to to help them avoid dropping points to tiredness.

                                              Harry Kane seems to be suffering from a really heavy cold. real "Code id by dose," and snot everywhere.

                                                Tell me about it. I aged a decade during stoppage time.

                                                We need everyone fit, for a start. Then we can look at strengthening in January. (Levy's chequebook notwithstanding.)
