[an tha]

Early in game but bitters look clueless....burnley carrying plenty of threat when they do venture forward

[Russ Atmosphere]

Too early to say whether that goal damages their title bid.

[Heinze]

Haha mongs

Some of the things Everton did in the summer are insane. They've got a guy who couldn't get a game at Southampton playing right back. They signed 3 attacking mids/10s, two of which are on the bench today, for about £70 million and a shit load of wages, plus they've now resorted to Niasse, who was deemed not good enough to even make their EL squad, essentially as Lukaku's replacement...

Replacing Lukaku was always an impossible ask for a club with no CL to offer.  We can't get proven quality players in and we're in a much stronger position than Everton . Now Sturridge has effectively retired from top flight football we have no recognised top class striker either. 

[cloggypop]

Just put the Everton match on. Tee hee.

[liverpoolsno9]

Can't wait to see our front 3 and Coutinho v the Blueshite. Salah and Mane v Baines and Martina, Williams slow as fuck.

[magicrat]

Booooooooooooo

Last 20 mins of that half burnley bossed it - pushed bitters back and looked the team who could score again.

 

No smash and grab so far this.

To be fair those boos coukd be heard from Goodison to Gateacre!

[Sputnik1]

Think I’ll stifle my laughs until we have won.

[magicrat]

[magicrat]

Baines running on fumes these days

[The Golden Eel]

Baines running on fumes these days

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

[SammyAftershave]

Espanyol playing in Madrid later could be lively.

[Strontium]

Yeah, they should be kicked out of the Spanish league altogether.

Barcelona may have to play in Italy, France or the Premier League if Catalonia gains independence from Spain, according to Catalonia’s minister of sport Gerard Figueras.

Spain’s prime minister Mariano has insisted that Sunday’s referendum “won’t happen” after ballot boxes were seized by police and the vote was declared illegal by the Spanish government

The BBC reports that close to 10 million ballot papers were impounded while 14 junior officials and associates were arrested and the website providing information to Catalans was shut down.

And, if Catalonia gains independence, Figueras suspects that Barcelona and other Catalan sides will have to choose whether to remain in the Spanish league or look to join a competition in another country.

“In the case of independence, Catalan teams in La Liga – Barcelona, Espanyol and Girona – will have to decide where they want to play: in the Spanish league or a neighbouring country: Italy, France or the Premier League,”

“Now in Spain there are teams from other countries who play in national leagues: clubs from Andorra in football and basketball. Monaco play in France, in England Welsh clubs. I don’t think that UEFA has anything against seeing another club play in a different league from their country.”

La Liga president Javier Tebas has insisted that if Catalonia forms a new country then Barcelona would not be able to compete in the Spanish league.

“In sport, it isn’t a la carte and things must be clearly stated,” Tebas said. “It isn’t easy to have an agreement and study Spanish legislation but if they (Catalan clubs) do get that, then they will not be able to play in Spain’s La Liga, but I hope it doesn’t come to that.”

UEFA strongly opposed Celtic and Rangers joining the premier league stating they were against cross border leagues of teams joining leagues not in their own country. They also stated that if the paid joined the prem am, prem teams may face expulsion from European competition.

Wait till the final whistle if the scoreline stays the same.
