Not sure too many Sunderland fans will have been "stunned" by this. Fair dues to Port Vale - they deserved it.

Not bottom but there is no team currently worse in the Premier League than Tottenham Hotspur. An absolute shambles. πŸ˜‚

bad news: 3-1 down at half-time
good news: six play-off spots in the championship next season

A fascinating essay. Now answer the question: Which of the very specific comparisons that i made did you find inaccurate?

I think they'll lose tomorrow and a total headloss could ensue.

No team in the Prem is currently playing worse than Spurs. The only thing that will keep them up are points already in the bank, IMHO.

Thinking that very obvious fouls in a football match should be penalised is not a controversial opinion. It really isn't.

What does it say about fans or the team they support if they are genuinely outraged by this opinion, as so many fans of various teams seem to be?

β€˜While his decisions were terrible, I don’t think they were the worst of the weekend’

Was this weekend's action the proof that we need VAR after all?

The training. Had to take a week+ (five sessions) off due to groin-knack. Enjoyed the rest but felt guilty.

Recovered i think and looking forward to running again tomorrow in the rain. Because it just won't stop raining.

Just watched The Muppet Show 50th anniversary special and loved every second of it.

Utterly faultless - kids will love it, a bit of blue for the dads and Sabrina Carpenter leaning right into it. Perfection. 😘

Everton's Michael Keane sent off for pulling Tolu Arokodare's ponytailed dreads.

Fulham's Kenny Tete not punished at all for clearly doing the exact same thing to Antoine Semenyo.

All we want is commonsistency

I love and wholeheartedly agree with this by my pal the comedian, actor, showman and Midsomer neighbour of Tim Henman, Charlie Baker. Get VAR in the bin.

This is good from my pal Charlie. Obviously other opinions are available but i am largely in agreement.

But even that has proven fallible. I prefer the old method - if the flag goes up, you're offside. If it doesn't, you're not.
