S8M16: Triggered

2 matchdays worth of synopsising to do so I'll forgo the small talk this week.

Friday night football is rubbish, but Cardiff would have temporarily disputed this, as they beat a Wolves side seemingly out of form. See below....

Palace beat a woeful Burnley side, and Brighton continued their quiet march to form with an away win at equally woeful Huddersfield. Leicester and Man City had comfortable home wins, but that was not the case in Newcastle where West Ham got a shock away win - 3-0 of all things. Of course, Arnautovic got injured again. I've forgotten to do my fantasy team for 4 weeks running now, so it's probably a who's who of invalids by now. Southampton got a draw against Man Utd at home, but from 2-0 up they threw the game away and Hughes paid for it with his job. He'll hopefuly join Moyes, Curbishley, Allardyce etc in disappearing off into the shadows now. Surely nobody else will give him a Premier League management job?

Sunday = Derby day and home wins in West London (comfortable), North London (Ultimately comfortable - side note, the way to not do derby day is via BBC sport notifications to your phone which loses battery at 2-1 down) and Liverpool (very much not comfortable you jammy buggers).

The weekend matchdays were different. Easier to predict, fewer people involved. A gimme for those organised enough to participate without regular prompts. Go you guys.

Bournemouth beat Huddersfield, West Ham beat Cardiff and Man City beat Watford - no great shocks there. In the derby that I've never really understood why it's a derby, Brighton beat Palace 3-1, even after going down to 10 men in the first half. Liverpool came from behind to comfortably win at Turf Moor (stupid name for a ground. Think they should be relegated purely on those terms) and Spurs won comfortably against a Southampton side trying to impress their new manager by showing who was best at Crossbar Challenge. Draws at Fulham, Goodison Park & in an awful game of football at Old Trafford. Not one for the defensive purists.  The big shock came in Wolverhampton, which I've recently been assured is a real place, where the struggling-for-form Wolves turned around a deficit to beat Chelsea, who've looked a little wobbly in recent weeks. If I were Eden Hazard, I'd be off...

Eli actually scored a 4 on Matchday 14, but it didn't alter the leaderboard positions so haven't updated my graphics 'cos I'm extremely busy wallpapering my house with Lucas Torreira photos.
