So pissed off with having to play another 11mins , they are not happy till either set of players go down with an injury that takes them out till the end of season .power goes to the heads sometimes.
Completely unwarranted, both in terms of game state, and delays requiring additional time.hilly10 said:
We need to win a game and quick just for confidence alone.
I do agree. That and and to move outside the bottom 3 
But I've actually been impressed with the mentality and confidence. 7 without a win now, but we played great today. Always likely to come away with nothing, sadly
Comments on twitter like "Moyes compared going to City like taking a knife to a gunfight - well FFP has took the knife off us" and "Grealish cost more than our starting 11- and he was on the bench. FFP my arse"
Palace up next. Under the lights at Goodison. MUST WIN.
Meanwhile hopefully Sheffield Utd can beat Luton, and Wolves can get something off Brentford, who are only 3 points in front of us (currently) although 1-0 up at the moment FFS, Luton just pulled one back

I was hoping West Ham would do us a favour today. Hopefully we can drag Palace in to the mix on Monday night
Not sure how much longer Moyes has at West Ham. The natives are restless. In any case I think his contract expires in the summer?We need to start doing it for ourselves. Palace without their 3 best players...but with a new manager bounce (?) Regardless of that, we simply have to start finding some home form, and some goals.
Have they delayed the outcome of our appeal til after the game on purpose, or are they just incredibly inept? If we got all the points back, they'll be derided ("you don't know what you're doing"). If we get nothing, it will be a bearpit
I'm pretty hopeful we'll get some, if not all the points back: The way I frame it is "would we have breached if we hadn't built BM?" - which I appreciate is perhaps not quite the question being asked. To that I can only say, well it bloody well should be
Regardless, the starting point should be 6 points then it should go up on severity, and down on mitigations. If we don't get all ten, I'd settle for 6 back (6 issued, 2 deducted for mitigations - rather than 6 issued plus 4 added, because reasons...) and no further action for the latest breach, which would disappear in any case if the first appeal fully exonerated us.
Forest's was entirely to "gain a sporting advantage" although they hardly had a team when they came up, let alone a PL quality one, so I've got massive sympathy for them. But if it comes down to them or us re relegation, then I'm afraid it's "see you later" (obviously)
Where I start doubting myself is, I don't see how two different independent commissions can come to two completely different verdicts, when faced with the same evidence, and using the same rulebook (such as it is)

I get no fun out of watching Everton, it’s just so terrible.
Fell asleep at half time. Could feel myself nodding so grabbed a blanket and succumbed rather than trying and fight it and watch more of the same.Apparently we had some chances in the second half?
Was going to watch this morning but MNF hasn't recorded.
No excuses. Not good enough. Need to sort this home form out. Brighton away next - we'll know the first appeal outcome by then.
If it's good news, and the PL deliberately didn't release it last night to avoid giving us a bounce, that's poor IMO.

We only wake up when we need to.
Rubbish till Onana and Harrison came on ,
It's like pulling teeth at times .
A young kean winger (Harrison) over a 38 year old (Young)? Sounds like a plan, someone tell Dyche Rubbish till Onana and Harrison came on ,
It's like pulling teeth at times .
We actually had options last night. Which is good (provided the right ones are picked
