Well the FPL, whoever they are, must be wrong how can a weekend end on a Thursday? On that basis the whole week would be a weekend, mind you for us retired folk it is!

Haha indeed, it falls into game week 35 fixtures. Game week 36 begins on Friday.

That may well be but it wasn't supposed to be a Gameweek 35 match as it was postponed a few weeks ago due to Chelseas' involvement in the FA Cup. In Gameweek 35 Spurs played Arsenal and Chelsea met Villa both now having played 33 games not 35. Personally I would have classified it as a midweek game - midweek in my eyes being Tuesday to Thursday - but as it was the only midweek game this week I decided it was a weekend game and included it in this threead. So both Spurs and Chelsea play twice this weekend/Gameweek 36 or whatever it should be but only 14 clubs will have played 36 games by the end of it.

I think I've started too early on the drink this weekend!

One win and the sky pundits wanking over Chelsea, they’ll probably go and lose to West Ham at the weekend

Yes please.

Can they both lose?

[originallad]

Really wanted Luton to win. C'mon Sheffield Utd!

[bodacious benny]

A draw keeps them in it, but if Forest beat Sheffield Utd they’re as good as down.

[bodacious benny]

First half hattrick for Haaland and barely a beep from City fans. I wonder at what point winning becomes boring from a fans perspective…

[bodacious benny]

Wow, West Ham

[beatski]

Wet Spam doing us no favours then

[UlversToon]

Spurs being even more Spursy than usual.

That ground is a mix of fans, many so entitled, followed by big number of transient half and half scarf wearing camera snapping , mobile phone toting twats. There’s die hards too but they get lost in the morass of the expectant intolerant mob.
Tbh their football fan demographic and atmosphere in general is horrendous.
It’s closely followed by Arsenal attendees at the Emirates.
Football fandom changes with success.
It’s great we are an honest bunch then

Manure losing one nil. Just put a bet on them winning at 7/1.

[bodacious benny]

Casemiro and Evans at CB for them, odds should be much longer than 7/1

Casemiro at CB?? Worth a fiver on him getting booked!

[UlversToon]

2-0 Palace at half-time.

[originallad]

Manure 3 nil down.

I swear Euro qualification is gonna come down to our match at their's. They'll beat us. Find their mojo from nowhere.
