Cullen has been on fire for the past few weeks, he's captaining Burnley. Absolute wonder strike against Chelsea just now to tie it up. Burnley down a man.
Irish lads keeping them in it. Dara O'Shea makes it 2-2
two very nice goals has to be said!
"Not a bad day for Irish players in the Premier"...until Séamus Coleman scores an own goal in injury time to cost Everton a point against Bournemouth.
Oh well. Can't win em all.
Coleman just looked like an old man that time had caught up with at the end of the game there. I presume this will be it for him in the Premier League whether Everton stay up or not.
Great to see Cullen going well though, it's a real shame that he didn't hit the ground running in the Premier League. I don't think a strong run in will be enough to get him a move in the summer, assuming Burnley do go down he probably will too. O'Shea might have a chance of another move though.
Burnley have put a couple of decent results together - I wouldn't rule them out yet.
I do think Luton are likely to run out of steam, Sheff Utd look like they are down and Forest are very shaky at the moment. Everton should have enough to survive but Dyche is making very hard work of it - and Brentford are far from safe. But if Burnley keep picking up a few points they might scramble out of it - the points total for the survivor this season could be the lowest yet. WBA survived on 34 points twenty years ago - 30 points, or even less might do it this year.
I think it is pretty much guaranteed that this is Coleman's last season in the PL - he will go into coaching, but wouldn't be surprised to see him somewhere like Wigan, Preston, Bolton, Tranmere or even Blackburn or Blackpool. Can't see him packing up his family until he stops playing.
I do think O’Shea didn’t do him any favours by playing him that much across the international window, considering how little he had played in the month prior…
The John/Dara O'Shea thing wasn't annoying until now. I keep double-taking mid-sentence as I realise I've read O'Shea as the wrong one. For this reason alone, John O'Shea must not get the Ireland mangager gig permanently.
You can't spell failure without FAI
Missed the Sunderland game due to injury and, according to Scott Parker, might now miss the upcoming international matches.

“If he doesn’t play on Saturday he won’t be ready for Ireland.”
