Found them

Thanks mate, and yeah you are right, we have to judge everything in context. I'm happy with the progress under Potter. If they continue that way then results will pick up. You can't continue to play that way and lose every week. 
And I do love your posts, always a fair assessment, with a hint of dry humour. 
I'm just hoping @StevieDay1983 finally gets  a Brighton review right and they can get a win for him!

About time too lol

Sometimes you get these weird anomalies in football. Brighton XG is very good but they don't score the goals their play deserves. It may have become a psychological issue at the moment. Don't loose heart though mate, Brighton can still survive, they've proved capable of putting winning runs together in recent weeks. I remember the days when you were scrapping with Hull City to stay in the football league! Things are looking much better for the seaweeds these days. Battling it out with the mighty Palace amongst the elite of world football. Let's face it, we're living the dream compared to the days of Goldberg and Goldstone.
For years Burnley had a weird situation going with XG against, opponents would create loads of chances against Burnley but not convert many. At the start of every EPL season people would claim that this would be the year Burnley get relegated due to their appauling XG against record. Apparently what was happening in reality is that Burnley would be adept at blocking shots to each side of their goal which forced opponents to shoot centrally which allowed Pope or Heaton to deal with the shot relatively easily. So Burnley would be conceeding lots of 'dangerous' shots but in reality the keepers were usually in a good position to deal with them.
On a side note, this whole Lee Mason situation is hilarious when you take into account Espirito Santo's comments about him a few weeks back. My favourite quotes include:
"The referee (Mason) doesn't have quality to whistle a game on a premier league"
"The players get nervous, too much voices, he whistles by the voices"
"He doesn't have quality to whistle the game"
"I hope he doesn't whistle a game of ours again"
PS
Glad you are enjoying Peru but please leave Roy out of this. It would be better if the junta got Mamadou Sakho off the payroll by persuading him to play for Sporting Cristal or one of the other Peruvian giants. Many thanks.

You're right StevieD in you assessment, but was there value in the Brighton win? At prices like that, I can't be bothered to back them. It's a fast road to the poor house. 
I agree. Should've, would've, could've, good enough too, but don't. And that's where football fkcs with you.

This is a very difficult match for predictions for obvious reasons. Both teams will be desperate to collect all three points as they struggle to finish in the top four, but it is difficult to give the favorite. Both coaches will probably accept a point if given the chance, and we can with a few goals.

You left out the bit about what @Tiffy does with his Cuban cigars before, during and after this process. Needless to say he assured me it was all standard practice in the Brighton nightclubs.
I actually wouldn't read too much into Brighton's 3 league defeats thus far, for me performances have been good and I expect this to be a real tough game for Palace.
Palace have more firepower this season with the additions of Eze and Batshuayi but the defence has been a concern early doors with a lot of absent players. Apparently Tomkins and Cahill are nearing returns but unsure if they will make the starting lineup for this game, they better hurry up because Mamadou Sakho is just a massive liability now with countless blunders this calendar year.
LB Tyrick Mitchell has shown promise since being thrown in at the deep end but Palace fans should not expect him to play amazing every game as he is still very young and consistency is not a given at that age. If Lamptey plays for Brighton this weekend it should make for an interesting clash between the two players on that flank.
I think the odds have been set fairly in this match, I don't see any added value in either team priced at 2.80. I'm just gonna sit back and watch the game, hopefully I will not have steam comming out of my ears by the end of it.

Everton vs Liverpool
The Merseyside Derby is our first bit of Premier League action after the international break with Everton hosting Liverpool in a 12:30pm BST kick-off from Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon. The form of these two teams so far this season means we should be set for a cracking encounter and it's undoubtedly the first clash between these two in a while where the blue side of the city are sitting proudly at the top of the table before kick-off.
Everton have so far met the high pre-season expectations that many pundits and supporters piled on them by storming to the summit of the top flight of English football. Manager Carlo Ancelotti has won all 7 of his competitive games in charge of the club so far this season. The performances and goal scoring exploits of Dominic Calvert-Lewin have been a particular stand-out with the England striker scoring 6 goals in 4 league games so far. New signing James Rodriguez has also shone. There is even more reason to be optimistic for the Toffees though with Everton having only lost 1 of their last 8 home games against Liverpool.
Liverpool have started their title defence campaign in a solid manner. Jurgen Klopp's side might not have put in vintage performances on the pitch but 3 wins from their opening 4 league games has placed them in 5th position and only 3 points off the top spot. One concern was the 7-2 shock loss to Aston Villa before the international break. However, you only need to see that game to appreciate it was one of those rare games where unfortunate bounces and deflections played a huge part. As Klopp himself said, the Reds basically got all the bad stuff out in 90 minutes. Only 1 clean sheet in their 4 league games so far is also something Klopp will want to improve on. On the plus side, there's no worries over their ability to score goals with Mohamed Salah scoring 5 goals already and the team managing 19 goals in their 7 competitive matches so far.
Well, what a cracking game we have on the cards here. The current Premier League leaders taking on the reigning Premier League champions in a derby game. Once again, we have a game where it's tough to call as a first game back after an international break but I honestly don't think there's a lot separating these two teams. I could see either team sneaking a narrow win but it could be a moment of genius or a grave error. I'm going to have to sit on the fence though and back a draw.

I wish I could say I was surprised at the lack of leadership and action from the football authorities but they just don't give a damn unless it's the fate of a club that would impact on their revenues or the stature of the game. I'm still wondering when they'll re-evaluate the fit and proper persons test!
