      Still skeptical on Palmer, Liverpool players will be worth it with their run coming

    Everton at home is the most plum fixture of them all. They just fall apart. Gifted a hatty to stupid Thiago to bury my season. Who knows who profits from this now.

  23. JBG

    Also WH going for the ol' "defensive line sitting on the GKers diqq and pump the ball blindly forward when we can" tactic so far.

    what a ridiculous decision. It hits his arm

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      1 month, 23 days ago

      It's not an handball offence when a player is hit on the hand/arm by the ball which has been played by a team-mate (unless the ball goes directly into the opponents’ goal or the player scores immediately afterwards, in which case a direct free kick is awarded to the other team)

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      1 month, 23 days ago

      Off his thigh at speed, unintentional

  25. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    1 month, 23 days ago

    Amount of jam ppl that got Palmer are getting is through the roof lol

  26. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    1 month, 23 days ago

    DCL would have hauled. Season over

  27. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    1 month, 23 days ago

    Goal stands

    Why do these players think a ball flicking against an elbow is a handball? Play to the whistle, dummies

  28. Peteex
    • 13 Years
    1 month, 23 days ago

    Is VAR on vacation at Chelsea vs Leeds game or what is going on?

  29. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
