E-TALK: comments per PL fixture H & A
16/8/25 Fulham (H) 1-1 = 1.00pt/gm
the modern game is over ninety minutes PLUS and you have to last out to the VERY end.
24/8/25 Everton (A) l 2-0 = 0.50pt/gm
hit the post & bar but fluffed a spot kick - it is a funny old game.
31/8/25 Man City (H) w 2-1 = 1.33pt/gm
sometimes changing attacking spine of the side on block pays dividends.
13/9/25 Bournemouth (A) l 2-1 = 1.00pt/gm
not far to go compared to returning internationals but no easy flight for Seagulls.
20/9/25 Spurs (H) 2-2 = 1.00pt/gm
go two up and start thinking about the coffee break is a chance for opposition to take the biscuit.
27/9/25 Chelsea (A) w 1-3 = 1.33pt/gm
there are significant turning points and the trick is realising when the ball breaks for you.
5/10/25 Wolves (A) 1-1 = 1.28pt/gm
going a goal behind to the bottom club means starting from below zero.
18/10/25 Newcastle (H) w 2-1 = 1.50pt/gm
as momentum swings towards opposition, turning it around means creating opportunities.
25/10/25 Man Utd (A) l 4-2 = 1.33pt/gm
start playing late in the day and by laws of probability you are long odds for anything, short odds to get nothing.
1/11/25 Leeds (H) w 3-0 = 1.50pt/gm
go ahead and keep it tight then get in the driving seat.
9/11/25 Palace (A) 0-0 = 1.45pt/gm
there is a goalless result before too long but knda funny it was here after many years.
22/11/25 Brentford (H) w 2-1 = 1.58pt/gm
they use the phrase never say die and that applies when going a goal down.
30/11/25 Forest (A) w 0-2 = 1.69pt/gm
go hell for leather from kickoff and watch the goals rack up - maybe later...
3/12/25 Villa (H) l 3-4 = 1.57pt/gm
underestimate opposition and suffer consequences as previous over achievers.
7/12/25 West Ham (H) 1-1 = 1.53pt/gm
opponents set up to park the bus and break. It was like banging heads on the block.
13/12/25 Liverpool (A) l 2-0 = 1.43pt/gm
go to champions and hold your end up, or else look like a bottom half side.
20/12/25 Sunderland (H) 0-0 = 1.41pt/gm
Xmas shopping or football? what was the real goal - being supportive or having a chance to score...
27/12/25 Arsenal (A) l 2-1 = 1.33pt/gm
come back from league leaders and on balance did we do enough?
30/12/25 West Ham 2-2 (A) = 1.31pt/gm
at a bottom six outfit again and should we have kept a clean sheet?
3/1/26 Burnley w 2-0 (H) = 1.40pt/gm
on a good day at home you can win, especially against poor visitors.
7/1/26 Man City 1-1 (A) = 1.38pt/gm
even at the giants, if you can't win don't lose.
19/1/26 Bournemouth 1-1 (H) = 1.36pt/gm
you are at home against a bottom-six outfit and VAR don't exactly help... discuss.
24/1/26 Fulham l 2-1 (A) = 1.30pt/gm
going there to win is ok. But when level, very late subs might actually disrupt a draw.
31/1/26 Everton 1-1 (H) = 1.29pt/gm
when into the last few moments in a single score game it's prudent to close it out.
8/2/26 Palace l 0-1 (H) = 1.24pt/gm
one of the biggest games in all senses this term and it is important to reward fans continual support.
11/2/26 Villa l 1-0 (A) = 1.19pt/gm
it won't stay a goalless game if we can't keep a clean sheet but don't score either.
21/2/26 Brentford w 0-2 (A) = 1.25pt/gm
there comes a time to stand up and be counted, especially on an away pitch.
1/3/26 Forest w 2-1 (H) = 1.32pt/gm
experience to the fore, combined with dependability and a will to win
4/3/26 Arsenal l 0-1 (H) = 1.27pt/gm
all the momentum in the world is not enough if you do not score.
14/3/26 Sunderland w 0-1 (A) = 1.33pt/gm
a long way to go is sometimes worth the trip for all effort expended.
21/3/26 Liverpool w 2-1 (H) = 1.38pt/gm
give champions a propper game and anything positive is possible on the day.
11/4/26 Burnley w 0-2 (A) = 1.43pt/gm
go up north after a three week interval and points have to be obtained.
18/4/26 Spurs 2-2 (A) = 1.42pt/gm
a massive game for various reasons and then for calculating just what is most important?
21/4/26 Chelsea w 3-0 (H) = 1.47pt/gm
the opposition spent maxi-millions but at the end of the season it's the team ethic which counts.
2/5/26 Newcastle l 3-1 (A) = 1.42pt/gm
when you are chasing the game it seems so difficult to score.
9/5/26 Wolves w 3-0 (H) = 1.47pt/gm
go hard from the get-go and make it difficult for a lesser team.
17/5/26 Leeds l 1-0 (A) = 1.43pt/gm
with Europe on the horizon you have to turn up and give it your all.
24/5/26 Man Utd l 0-3 (H) = 1.39pt/gm
no football focus on tv anymore or on our motd pitch here either.
