Tottenham vs. Everton...well theres a real 'Sophie's Choice.'

Up the Albion!! Do it for the South coast!

[Locke]

Goddammit Spurs....they're like one of the worst teams in the League. Get to it!

That was absolutely shambolic defending. What. Was. That?

[Locke]

Hove!!

[Locke]

Ugh. Spurs just getting clowned by Everton.

Do you have any idea how embarrassing that is for pretty much most of England?

dude, are you okay?

Just a little insomnia. Its too early to head to work and I have essentially nothing else to do. So I'm watching sports and being obnoxious.

Its a harmless Sunday morning hobby.

[Locke]

Oooh....Spurs...that was a comedy of errors.

[Slava]

Could be worse, you’re watching because you have nothing better to do. I made sure to get up and see this shambolic display. I knew we’d be in tough, but 3-0 at half has exceeded that thought. It’s catastrophic, and now at halftime they’re showing a Kai Havertz spotlight.

One of the benefits of insomnia is that it gives you lots of time.

And here comes Richarlison...well...

Its not even that they're getting stuffed 3-0 at half, its who they're getting stuffed by!

I know you guys have injuries, but Ange needs to implement some defense. I know its against his ethos but man...

You woke up for this? Poor bastard. Who knows maybe they'll mount an amazing comeback? The miracle at Goodison?

Lol what was the effort to stop the cross by Onana? Just lets it bounce right off him straight to the Brighton player.

[Locke]

Ange unhappy! Ange Angry! Mmmm...

Although it is fun to see Richarlison losing to Everton. Something about that is satisfying.

And its at Old Trafford too.

So, the real question is...do United back their manager in the summer?

Yeah, I’m kind of torn. Like I’ve supported Ange the whole time and I do like him. But it’s also not good enough, and the injuries only add to that. We played the second half without an actual CB on the pitch (which is a sharp decline from the one we’ve had for weeks now!). But I guess for me it’s both hard to blame the manager for this, and at the same time there’s a lot of blame to go around.

I do feel for the young guys though. Gray, Bergvall, Spence, Moore have all played well and tried hard, but it’s just got to be rock bottom or close at this point.

What a matchday right?

Spurs clearly were misinformed about the start-time of the match and United seem to have been confused about where Brighton actually is located because they weren't really there for most of it.

Nottingham knows where the Forest is though.

[Locke]

Lol! Gab Marcotti just called Darwin Nunez...'An Agent of Chaos.'

I love it. 'An Agent of Chaos.'

Go out next game with 'Chaos' written on your namebar

[Locke]

Bournemouth burning Forest down I didnt see coming, but it would have been nice if Wolves had helped us out.

Mohamed Salah moved up to seventh in the Premier League's all-time goalscoring charts thanks to his 35th-minute strike during Liverpool's clash with Ipswich Town at Anfield on Saturday.

The 32-year-old has been in inspired form for Arne Slot's table-topping side this season and netted his 176th goal in the division to move clear of Thierry Henry (175) and one behind Chelsea legend Frank Lampard (177).

Bye Tony!

Manchester United winger Antony has joined LaLiga side Real Betis on loan for the rest of the season as the 24-year-old bids to get his career back on track after a disappointing few years at Old Trafford.

The Brazil forward joined United for £80 million ($97.3m) from Ajax in 2022, but has struggled to live up to that prize tag. He remains the second most expensive incoming transfer in the club's history behind only the acquisition of Paul Pogba in 2016.

Antony scored 12 goals in 95 games for United, most of which came under former head coach Erik ten Hag. Ten Hag coached Antony at Ajax and was integral to his move to the Premier League.

Ruh roh Spurs...Angeball not so great against Leicester either it appears.

You're going to be below Everton pretty soon.

[Winsor_Pilates]

Ange must be getting fired now
