City finding life pretty easy against Spurs at the moment, but Lloris probably should’ve done better with both goals, even if one was a penalty.

Kane very unlucky with a wonderful free kick which hit the post.

Not enough is made of what an incredible season Leicester are having.

Quite similar to last season isn’t it?
Need to avoid the collapse this time around

Didn't they win the league a few seasons ago too?

he looks like Jimmy Hill.

Fulham currently 2-0 up against Everton. Their next 3 games are Burnley, Shef Utd & Palace

Next 3 games for Newcastle are Chelsea, Man Utd & Wolves

.....

[URZZZZ]

Are Leeds entertaining or naive? (Or both)

20 goals conceded away at Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and United now with City still to come

I think their approach is refreshing but they need to wise up a little

Much improved team from the start of the season but not scoring enough goals

Given that the title seems finalised now, would be good to have a relegation battle and not just Sheffield, WBA and Fulham drifting further and further away

Both for me. They won’t go down this year but if they continue like this next year I think other teams will wise up to them and they could struggle.

I don’t see them ever going down with Bielsa but by the same token, not sure their squad is actually that good, can see them struggling if Bielsa goes in the near future

Very impressed that they’ve only had 4 scoreless games all season, with only 1 being away from home!

Oh yeah, I think if Bielsa goes, they could fall apart completely.

Any team that can counterattack is going to batter them

The ref from the Ipswich game squaring up to Alan Judge

The ref from the Ipswich game squaring up to Alan Judge

New approach from refs, I like it!

[Sanguine]

Yeah, he'll get a suspension for this, and maybe even a demotion. Which is a shame. Sure, it can't happen and Drysdale should have remained professional, but seriously, referees get all sorts of shit every single game (not least in this case, Judge laying into the ref for correctly pulling him up for diving) and I'm surprised this doesn't happen more.

[Winston Biscuit]

When you watch the video its a bit of a nothing really. Split second of someone looking angry. Such a culture of players dishing out all sorts of abuse to refs and them having to just smile and take it that this will inevitably make headlines, and social media will push it too.

Hope the authorities dish out no punishment to him at all and just put out a statement to say that people shouldn't be pcunts to refs

Collina doing similar would get praised

Premier League confirms all matches will continue to be shown live until fans are allowed back into stadiums - which in essence means for the rest of this season, at least.

Not sure they'll go back to not showing them all to be fair. It is the norm in many other countries and it doesn't really impact attendences - especially if they keep the staggered kick off times to avoid clashing with lower league games people can attend - or put the "less interesting" games on then.

Or rather, they'll be shown live for free for now - I'd agree that that might be the case in the longer-term, although I'd expect it to be a paid for service like the one they tried to introduce earlier in the season.

Longer-term they would also need a permanent dispensation with regards to showing live football at 3pm on a Saturday (or maybe move all PL kick off times away from that slot).

Yep, been removed from officiating Saturday’s game between Southend and Bolton, no surprises there

[Sanguine]

You know, whilst accepting that Drysdale was unprofessional, Alan Judge basically gets away with screaming abuse at him because, well, I don't know why. He is held to differently standards because he is a pampered idiot footballer?
