That's one hell of a start. Still maybe catch a few top teams before there up and running.

Now just the sleepless nights ?

If you post this every two days for the next year you'll be right! ?

Haf is that little toy we all wind up and then watch him go!

Maybe I'm clutching at straws but my guess was it's his last roll of the die to get control at Arsenal and now will move on. Maybe I'm being greedy but I'd like two billionaire owners.

I'm not going to argue on this point Haf on stats & the interpretation of whether its a cross or through ball is up for discussion. I'm sure we both agree for any cross/pass/through ball to be successful needs both the giver and receiver to work together. End of. On another note (not looked it up) but would Kane be behind Rom in the scoring if we took out Penalties or scoring from a dead ball? If so maybe he is still the best goal scorer in the league ?

Spurs

Offsides are down to a multitude of things e.g. poor runs, mistimed passes. Long ball offsides again can be down to striker pressing high and being caught quickly, or worse being to keen to get involved from an offside position (being lazy here helps! Don't interfere not offside) - again different styles of play. Tackling stats id have to agree does look poor. However, this can be explained as a striker making a tackle often relies on other forwards (Everton rarely play 2) or midfielders pushing up / pressing together like Liverpool & Spurs do. If Rom does this on his own he won't win a tackle but will run round like a headless chicken expending all his energy. Haf - it's lies, damn lies and statistics- you can use them to prove any arguement.

Kane and Rom both great forwards who bring different qualities to their respective teams. I've also seen both have off days. With Ali I do think Kane has a lot of pressure taken off him and is also afforded more space with defenders preoccupied with Ali. Definitely Kane is allowed more space than Rom.

And this friend .........? No more - just messing Haf. Please don't take it personally. Point being you do have a friend in every thread who has a view on every topic ?

16 mins ?

A different neighbour then ??

I agree. So many somehow can't wait to see him fail. I get that he may go in the summer but For now he's still our player and him getting golden boot would only help Everton.

Haf in every thread you've got a friend who's got an opinion on something - that you then rely on as fact - cracks me up! ?

Not the kit I'm sure. Every other kit sponsored by SportsPesa has an s underneath it. Why would you miss the logo/brand off? ................you wouldn't.

Not the first on here, and won't be the last! ?

So do I, however only time will tell (well, hopefully time will tell....or we'll be let down again)

No he's definitely consistently not

Finally I've found a post I agree 100% with Haf on in this thread ??

Was that Haf running on the pitch earlier?

That why haf wouldn't want Messi! Too lazy and he'd probably moan about his touch ?? Then we'd have the obligatory shoehorned stats to try to prove his point.

Mirralas has given the other forwards a kick up the arse in terms of commitment today.

Look really good going forward. Going the other way Id rather not comment.

I do like Mirralas in the team he adds so much energy
