This has to be the first time ever that I have watched a Premier League match on TV with no punditry. The half time break was filled with replays of the first half and statistics.

Loafing Oaf · 26-12-2022 01:47PM

2-0. Lads it's Tottenham...

Agent Coulson · 26-12-2022 02:02PM

Conte really should give his half time team talks at the start of games.

y0ssar1an22 · 26-12-2022 02:03PM

2-2 now thanks to kane and hoijberg

y0ssar1an22 · 26-12-2022 02:08PM

I was on shift overnight, 1030 till 8am, so yes! Plus, I'll be milking cows this evening so will miss the 1st half of the Liverpool game.

I much prefer that half time coverage, especially if you have missed some of the game.

Skys normal half time break consists mostly of ads and there is very little time for actual punditry.

You do know people do actually work over Christmas all over the world including Ireland and the UK.

y0ssar1an22 · 26-12-2022 03:03PM

y0ssar1an22 · 26-12-2022 03:07PM

And at least the ref didn't just wait for var to come into play. Fair enough it was so obvious, but could easily take the safe choice and allow for replays.

2-0 now...Newcastle starting where they left off

ShamoBuc · 26-12-2022 03:49PM

Very good first half from Newcastle, 0-3 and full value for it.

They are first to every ball and playing quite well.

Leicester look all over the place. Newcastle should bang in another couple in the second half.

Brendan Rodgers can never be considered a top class coach for the last 14 years as a manager/coach at a top level and cannot stop his teams conceding goals from corners and free kicks this trait has followed him from club to club to club.

doc_17 · 26-12-2022 04:02PM

Leicester have been brutal. Newcastle fans singing “we’re gonna win the league”?

Daka should have had a penalty.

Yes, but most companies in service facing roles ensure that there is some mechanism for their customers to be supported, either through out of hours on-call support arrangements or using staff who don't celebrate Christmas to cover. For €120 per month, I'd expect someone to be able to help me with a service that I'm paying for.

I've no sympathy for massive companies not supplying basic support for their expensive services.

Fitz* · 26-12-2022 04:06PM

I'm well aware of Liverpool's record of conceding first in recent months.

Surprised to hear that Spurs have conceded first in their last 9 games in a row

ShamoBuc · 26-12-2022 04:06PM

Daka, who seemed to make the wrong decision everytime he had the ball, is off, Vardy on.

doc_17 · 26-12-2022 04:18PM

As bad as Leicester are, this is impressive from Saudi owned Newcastle giving that they are missing St Maxamin, Isak and Wilson.

They’re running promotions all over the place to buy Sports Extra (BT and Premier) for this one day (12 quid). It’s a huge day for their Irish coverage as the sole provider of Stephens Day PL football with Amazon having the UK exclusive. If you put yourself in that position - and try to make as much money as they do off it - you have to support that service.

Agent Coulson · 26-12-2022 04:53PM

There is no way Lampard will see out the season at Everton.

Fitz* · 26-12-2022 04:53PM

Wolves beat Everton in the 95th minute. Not a nice late Christmas present there for the blues.

Loafing Oaf · 26-12-2022 04:55PM

You're getting sacked in the morning Lampard!

He shouldnt see out the year

26-12-2022 05:22PM

Like Newcastle or not you have to credit Howe his weakness was always getting his teams to defend but when he was out of work he went around Europe and watched and studied Simeone, Jose and other defensive managers training sessions and it looks like he really learned from the best.

ShamoBuc · 26-12-2022 05:43PM

TAA with an awesome ball to Robertson for Salah's goal.

He is getting into some great positions in the first 10 mins.

doc_17 · 26-12-2022 06:18PM

Darwin is exhausting

ShamoBuc · 26-12-2022 06:24PM

Good first half form Liverpool, 0-2 up at ht.

Villa had a fair few early chances but Liverpool have looked sharp.

Nunez causing problems, has 3 shots on target but should have a goal or two at this stage.

wanderer100 · 26-12-2022 06:42PM

Liverpool still look very vulnerable at the back

Pipmae · 26-12-2022 06:51PM

Goal for Villa - that was coming. Fully deserved. Game on now.

Loafing Oaf · 26-12-2022 08:44PM

Arsenal enduring a major void without Jesus in their lives
