Enock Mwepu: Brighton midfielder forced to retire with heart condition

Sad at only 24, but probably for the best. :( Must be absolutely devastating for him - hopefully he'll be able to stay in the game in some capacity.

URZZZZ Not sure who I would like to win the title less. Arteta’s team of cheats (Jesus, Saka and Martinelli - pathetic the trio of them) or City who are spend spend spend

I like Potter so would want Chelsea to win but think it’ll be one season too soon for them


As a neutral to the PL I go in cycles of wanting good teams to fail and bad teams to succeed

Arsenal have been rubbish for long enough for them to now be the team I would maybe most like to win the PL. I shudder at the thought Man Utd might become that team soon

Forest look completely doomed

Villa were no great shakes at all, yet by far the better team against Forest (yes, I know Forest got a point )

If that’s the best they can produce in a game they must’ve been targeting to win, then goodness knows how they survive

That’s brilliant, especially since it’s against Derby

Not sure their captain saying in interview that they deserved all 3 points is a good sign, either.

Spare a thought for Lingard. Aside from the £££, joining Forest was a really odd move. Pretty damning not to feature at all yesterday in what was a fairly important game for them

Anyone can say any old shit in a TalkSport interview.

Anyone who speaks a modicum of sense is likely to be told they're an idiot of course.

You should give up watching football.


It is tempting to give up on the Prem - full of prima donnas - cheats, with the continued misuse of VAR (how they can justify disallowing Rashford’s but allowing Antonio’s - where’s the consistency) is beyond me.

Championship on the other hand is as bonkers as ever, just 3 points seperate 1st and 7th. Same gap in the other leagues is 10 in the Prem, 12 in League One and 10 in League Two

I gave up on the PL years ago. Almost everyone is objectionable there. Championship is much more interesting. Not that I watch much other than us.

I enjoyed David Squires efforts at saying Arsenal were going back to the 90's with their good performances

Seems to me that there’s a much longer list than normal of teams that are in trouble

Excellent - do like a City defeat. Especially when their manager throws his toys out the pram for a clear infringement

Arsenal may just be in with a chance

Apparently what may have sparked it further was Liverpool fans throwing coins at Pep.
Their fans really are something else, and they wonder why they are hated.
And now a Liverpool fan now justifying the coin throwing on 606.
I too hope Arsenal do it, just to make all those knobs on AFTV look so f*cking stupid.
