S13M24: Compression

Best League in the World TM delivers the drama again. Everton kicked us off with a late equaliser at home to Spurs. Without their 10 point deduction, they'd be solidly mid-table, but as is are still in the relegation mix, although you have to assume they'll pull clear at some point.  Brighton recovered from their recent thumping to hand out a thumping of their own to not-real-derby rivals Palace who's manager looks increasingly forlorn each week. He's actually incredible at pushing the boundaries of forlornness. Also, when he gets sacked, he needs to take over at Sheff Wed. Obvs. Also also, I'm a huge fan of Joao Pedro and think he's going to be a great signing for whoever he leaves Brighton for. I'd happily take him next summer.

Another late equaliser for relegation-threatened Burnley, alongside jsut a standard 4-4 at St James Park. Luton with just the casual 8 in 2 games now. Villa handed out another thumping to absolutely dreadful Sheff Utd. Not a great Saturday for home teams.

Bournemouth vs Forest was boring, but the drama continued at the Bridge where Wolves did a number of Chelsea - a highly self-inflicted defeat and the #PochOut mutterings are becoming louder. Bring back Frank Lampard I say. An easy home win for Man Utd against West Ham was followed by the Super Sunday game between Arsenal and Liverpool for the 3rd time in 6 weeks. Some dreadful errors handed a goal to each team, but Liverpool were dominated in a way that doesn't often happen, with Arsenal winning 3-1 quite comfortably.

The same scoreline greeted Haaland's return as City saw off Brentford easily enough after going behind. A hat-trick from Foden was well received by me, as he's in my fantasy team - this was then tempered by me seeing that he's in bloody everyone's team, so no advantage there.
