Thank you for the reminder. I already made my pick several days back, nothing else to do during the international break.

There were some pretty big matches this break, but we are so deep into the season that several players are just conserving their energies to be 100% for when they return to their club and a couple did not make the travel at all.

Cannot wait for confirmation that Saka, Gabriel and Martinelli will be fit for Sunday.

When your Kai and Rice get you to a cup final we will talk - another trophyless season for your special squad in the last 20 years. We've never gone trophyless in our best era.
Again celebrating mediocrity. Arteta already won the F.A Cup before he even got any money to spend and is now chasing bigger things and leading the table, while you are celebrating losing to Liverpool for the umpteenth time now in a final.

Isn't the FA cup is what you've been winning since the last two decades? Improvement means winining the league title or an European trophy. You're the one celebrating the Emirate cup and community shields every fuckin season since you became a fan.  Grin

You are in a rivalry with Tottenham?

Our biggest London rivals are Leeds United and Fulham but fuck Tottaham as long as they're in London they must live under our shadows....

Stoping our London rivals from winning is the reason we're the most decorated London club. The only London club to have completed football. It's gonna take you lots a century or even more.  Grin

I was thinking before the match that Brentford would win against Burnley comfortably. However just at the beginning of the match Reguilon's causing a penalty and getting a red card changed the story of the match completely.

By the way I think the red card given to Reguilon is quite heavy.

It's a red if there is no real attempt to clear or play the ball. Reguilon's situation falls into this category. But....

What about the new rules that prevent the defending team from receiving double punishment? If you give a penalty, you do not give red. Ederson was not sent off for the foul on Nunez; he received a yellow card and a penalty.

The rules are too complicated and only works for certain club.

Another massive surprise I think it was Tottenham losing 3-0 which sums it up pretty well for a Premier League week meaning that not a single result out of these three games came as expected.I know that maybe the Luton game may be a correct result as a draw but I think most likely Luton should have won this game,I don't know why but I feel that to be the correct result.

The Premier League is coming near an end and is more open than ever and I think the result of such teams who barely play for anything,will be repeated as surprise results from the big teams when they will play their remaining games,it can be any team winning this year,be it Liverpool the most likely,then City and then Arsenal for me.

^^ Didn't watch it, but yeah didn't expect Brentford to lose -- though that doesn't even compare to Spurs losing by 3 goals to Fulham. I know they also beat United and Brighton earlier, but that doesn't mean anything much these days. I guess beating Arsenal wasn't a fluke either. And I should remember we also needed to beat them 4-3 in December.

Do we really owe that much more respect to them though? I haven't actually watched them play properly.

The VAR is there to check these things thoroughly but the fact that no one gave a shit about the case and considering it a red card change as you said the story completely.I also thought that Brentford would have won by a big margin,something like 0-3 against an already relegated team in my opinion which is showing nothing in the Premier League at all.

The referees in England are well known for idiotic verdicts all over the world,there was even some case when some referee from there don't remember the name judging the final of Champions League making really clamorous mistakes,this needs to be fixed as soon as possible otherwise betting on such events is worthless.

Harko, nicely done.

Didn't watch tonight's game (Bournemouth vs Luton, really?) but seems like I missed out on a goalfest. Checking in now and it's 3-3 with 20 minutes still to play. Luton City must be feeling sick to the stomach, Tahith Chong (that guy) opened accounts and they led 3-0 at half time, but allowed Bournemouth back into the game.

More exciting than Champions League?

There is no fun watching the champions League anymore, we only have teams playing for Penalty shootouts now. A messy champions season. I watched Arsenal - Porto play and couldn't tell if it was Europa league or preseason game. Just 22 random kids running after the ball with no real action for 120mins.

Luton has given us many exciting games this season; their counter-attacking play is second only to Tottaham, and they have excellent set-piece techniques. I was very disappointed that they threw up a 3-0 lead in such a vital game.

Fun fact: Luton has score more goals that 6th place Manchester united.

I just saw the highlights and it was really a spectacular game.
If Luton gets relegated, this just might be the game that decided it. Crazy to lose such a lead in such an important game.

The break is coming at the right time for us, the next PL game is 2 weeks away.
I hope we get some players back by then, we won't be able to keep winning with kids forever.

ashamed to admit, but it was a great feeling to see Luton losing after they were up 0:3 in first half
what is Everton bringing to their crowd is just to be happy when others are miserable, since we are not winning anything at all

spoil alert: Everton is on a longest no-win strike for a long time, but hopefully Luton will allow us to stay up, as we can't hold on that alone

I'm literally stunned when I got the mention too and I was seeing the game nor following it at first per se, I just saw 3-0 lead for Luton at halftime and it felt like some browser glitch to me until and I check the goal scorers and other stats, only to get 3-3 notification in the 63rd minute, must have been a better watch than the UCL for today, I'd agree even just by the scoreline alone.

Arsenal fans celebrate mediocrity unnecessarily... You paid a fucking 60 million pounds, and we got a better deal in Palmer, who is a cheaper and better footballer than Kai Havertz.
You made too many terrible deals in the last transfer window to be talking about what other clubs did with money. I will take Kai and Rice everyday over your 1 billion pounds science experiment.

When your Kai and Rice get you to a cup final we will talk - another trophyless season for your special squad in the last 20 years. We've never gone trophyless in our best era.

A big club gloating about stopping other clubs from winning the league is not the flex you think it is. No one losses the league without lossing matches, you do not see any other club, even the small ones talking about such trivial events that happened ten or so years ago.
Tottenham came 3rd that season, you guys came 10th. You are not even in 10th place yet now.

Stoping our London rivals from winning is the reason we're the most decorated London club. The only London club to have completed football. It's gonna take you lots a century or even more.  Grin

Is there a single person who will stand up for Doku's incident in the last minute like it wasn't a penalty?

Well. I'm one of the biggest LFC supporters on the forum and I'll tell you that I think it would have been a soft one to give. I did see them given though - and I think the ref should have checked it himself.
I'm leaning towards it not being enough for a penalty, but would have liked that the procedures were followed properly.
When VAR first came out it was supposed to be to "correct obvious referee mistakes". I still believe that is the best way to use VAR. If you have to watch the slow monition from 10 different angles to judge the situation just stick with original decision.

In this case it could have gone both ways and sticking with original decision (no pen) was the right call for me. If the ref pointed to the spot nobody could have objected though.

I hate it when we have different criteria in the boy and outside. If that was happening in center circle I am sure foul would be given and maybe even yellow card but I guess we will always have that discrepancy.
