Everton Don't look too good here. Lovely goal from Burnley though.

[Shteve]

Burnley at 5/1 was today's nap.

They're all over the shop

Can see Koeman getting the sack soon if this continues.

Camp Nou with no fans.

If they lose, I think he'll go. I can see them turning it around and nicking it though.

[Cheeky Gnando’s]

Sorry, that's what I meant - sacked today. Not too sure where the win will come from today though, Burnley are far better right now.

[Drederick Shanktum]

Everton are a lot like us, they play with absolutely no pace and their defence is 10-20yards to deep as they are shit feared of people running in behind.

[Johnny]

Everton have been absolutely awful

Barca wanted it postponed due to the bother. Some folk wanted them to forfeit as a gesture, but they've opted to play behind closed doors.

More than a club, except when it matters. And three points is all that matters

It is, of course, because the league is run from Madrid. Outrageous - but entirely typical - that they've not allowed a postponement.

Fat Waz

Absolutely finished as a footballer

Also true.

But any fa is happy to present themselves as utter cunts. Because that's what they are. It's to be expected they'd put politics in front of safety in legitimate circumstances. Shit, but typical and expected.

Barca don't just present themselves as more than a club, they sell themselves on it. This is the opportunity to prove that and they've come up well short. They're sitting in the back of the bus. If they'd taken the loss it'd have highlighted the spanish fa's cruelty and also the cause of catalonia in general.

It's a good point and argument, but I disagree. The reason they style themselves (often wildly hypocritically) in such a way is, of course, because many of their fans view them like a national team: which in turn, given all the history, is what makes the clasico so massive. Allowing the Spanish authorities to stiff them in some weird parallel to the Spanish police kicking shit out of Catalans? That's the last thing their public would want.
