I see Swansea have parted company with Bob Bradley, the club seems to have gone backwards since the Michael Laudrup days.

Would be nice if The Swans make an approach for one of Garry Monk, Phil Parkinson or Neil Wagner :twisted:

Monk will be having a quiet titter to himself.

Was hoping Bradley would be in place to the weekend at least as we go to the Liberty on Saturday. Mind you I guess a caretaker will be in charge.

Who would want the job at Swansea? Sell their best players, never spend any money, keen to sack a manager with no resources quickly.

Another small time manager who no one has ever heard of I would guess.

The pitch moved when Kane took that penalty!

Yeah, the Kane penalty was bizarre, he seemed to step near the spot and the turf rose up. Fair play to spurs, looked far more creative than usual

Blimey there's a game on tonight.

At the start of the season much was made of Friday Night Football with Jeff Stelling and the gorgeous maths genius from countdown, but there have only been a couple of games up to now as far as I can remember.

Hull v Everton is hardly something to get excited about.

Tonight will be the 4th one, at the half way stage of the season. The contract was only for 10 of them, so they're only one behind "schedule" if you like - and it'll be easier to fit Friday night games in during the second half of the season, when there are fewer international breaks and less involvement in European matches.

I wasn't aware of the total number of matches they were covering on a Friday, just feels like there hasn't been a game in a long while.

As for watchability I find any game Everton are involved in to usually be entertaining, and I'm hoping they beat Hull or at least deny them a win as it helps my team in terms of survival.

Hull deservedly one up after six minutes.

And Everton deservedly level on the stroke of half time, although benefitting from a goalkeeping howler.

At least City had 57% possession, at Anfield. You carry on passing it around Pep and City. Whilst Chelsea run away from you.
