Theo injured after providing an assist, now his sub doesn’t have his gear. What the fuck is with profession players not being ready to answer the manager’s call?

Does anybody have any clue what is animating Benteke’s corpse at this point? Whatever it is clearly holds some sort of mind-control or blackmail power over his managers given his continued selection.

Have you seen Palace’s bench?

Apparently they extended his contract too.

(FYI, there are also Bundesliga games today, if you’re looking for something else to watch.)

CHRISTIAN BENTEKE SCORED A GOAL!!!

In possibly related news, there is a massive snowstorm in hell.

At this point I wouldn’t be surprised to see Richarlson hit the deck if a ball boy tosses it back to him a little too hard.

His extra-curricular shit stirring is certainly approaching Danny Rose levels. Next stop, Diego Costa!

Every year Palace is good for one half of the season and sucks out loud for the other half. They’re going to go from like 6th to a relegation fight very quickly.

Arlo and Lee must be wondering why they have to do B&H vs. Watford instead of having the weekend off.

This Leverkusen vs Dortmund game is awesome. Leverkusen just scored twice in one minute to jump ahead 4-3 with ten minutes to go. Reyna on for Dortmund.

Holy hell Pickford, that was awful

Terrible. Pickford is not having a good year. Or, one could argue that he's just not that good.

That's the first outright howler I can remember in awhile, in terms of just whiffing on a shot he should have saved. Those don't bother me as much, every keeper has those. But he's been awful in terms of decision-making, gathering crosses, commanding the box, distribution, keeping his composure, etc. - just bone-headed play. So he gets a lot less slack for a boner like this, he's exhausted a lot of his goodwill.

He did have an excellent save on Benteke later. He is a top-drawer shot-stopper.

It was the most Everton thing ever fro Benteke to score his first goal since 1997 against us. If you're ever in a slump, Everton is your tonic.

20 minutes in and my chief observation is that Billing is a gigantic diver (literally and figuratively).

Why would a player ever put his hands on the other squads manager???? And not get a card for it???

Daytime footy if you can stream at work: Wolves and Leicester are playing a very entertaining game.

Fabinho & Mane on the bench, Keita & Ox in the XI. This match is already entertaining, Norwich looking to spring the quick counter every time.

Oh man. Credit to Krul there, but a great tackle by Firmino, clever turn by Salah...all so good until the last.

Here comes Mane.

I don't know what Attwell sees in half these 'fouls'

Full credit to Norwich thus far, they deserve every bit of the current draw
