[Globalgunner]

Vardy puts Leicester ahead...0-1

[Globalgunner]

Chelsea already 2-0 up against our bogey team Stoke after 8 mins. Drinkwater with a real beauty:yikes:

[Niall_Quinn]

Bad miss by Salad. Should be 1-1.

[Niall_Quinn]

Salad misses another fairly decent chance. Liverpool all over them.

[Niall_Quinn]

Liverpool play at a lovely tempo. Klopp would have been perfect for us. He's starting to get this Liverpool team together and they'll be well beyond us if Wenger stays on for another season.

[Niall_Quinn]

Chavs 3 up against the orcs.

[Globalgunner]

Chelsea about to ensure Stoke give Hughes a pink slip before the new year. 3-0. Pedro

[Niall_Quinn]

HT Leicester hang on to their 1 goal lead. Liverpool have just dumped 75 mill in the one area where they desperately need it to complete a decent team. Smart move and a small price to pay in this stupid market.

Liverpool should win this comfortably after the break. They have controlled things since the first 10 minutes and should already have stuck a couple away. Bit more care in front of goal and they'll get 2 or 3.

Klopp has them always looking to get the ball forward. It's very refreshing and the proper way to play football. Occasionally they revert to Pep style rubbish and it doesn't suit them at all. Hopefully the game develops toward's Klopp's way of thinking and away from Pep's - then it will be enjoyable to watch again. Of course for Arsenal fans nothing will change either way.

[Niall_Quinn]

1-1 Salad dances it in. Leicester complaining about something and then 2 yellows for something or other.

[Niall_Quinn]

Matip is such a wuss. He gets a little clip to the mouth, enough to swat a fly, and rolls around clearing away the non-existent blood and then has to go off to be pampered.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ox coming on. I remember him.

[Niall_Quinn]

2-1 Salad

[Globalgunner]

Salad is really dressing this league with some quality.
Toss up between him and Debruyne over player of the season, so far.

[Niall_Quinn]

Salad is really dressing this league with some quality.
Toss up between him and Debruyne over player of the season, so far.

And Rooney.

[Globalgunner]

And Rooney.

Rooney is the EPL player of this century, without a doubt

[Niall_Quinn]

Very good game to watch, up until now where it's gone a bit pub quality.

[Niall_Quinn]

Klopp's done the same stupid thing as Wenger and disrupted the team with negative subs.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ox is such a good player one minute and so shit the next.

[Özim]

Liverpool are really good at finding top goalscorers, they've done it time and time again over the years.

[Niall_Quinn]

Liverpool are really good at finding top goalscorers, they've done it time and time again over the years.

Once they get there defence sorted out they are going to challenge. They are every bit as good as the gypos going forward. Every bit as bad as us at the back.

[Niall_Quinn]

I said "there" :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

Also, Wijnaldum is really shit.

[Niall_Quinn]

FT 2-1

Not sure why I tuned in to watch that, but glad I did. Good entertainment and two teams trying to get a result. Proper footie.

[Cripps]

When is that mug going to stop scoring for the Scousers?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 5-0 Stoke in the end. Rudiger, Willian, Pedro, Drinkwater and Zappacosta.

Bournemouth 2-1 Everton, Fraser with two and Gueye.

Huddersfield 0-0 Burnley.

Barcodes 0-0 Brighton.

Watford 1-2 Swansea, Carrillo, Narsingh and Ayew.

Sparky. :haha:

How many weeks in a row is that with a team scoring more than four?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lukaku is dead.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Merse nearly fell off his chair when he heard Carvalhal became Swansea manager.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Six added minutes. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 0-0 Sothampton HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tadic heads over, poor.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Tadic passes it way wide, whilst trying to shoot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Pogba. :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

And it was going in anyway :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 FT. :haha:

Man Utd are a bit crap, shockingly.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Out ring the boos. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

http://www.redcafe.net/threads/post-match-vs-southampton.435027/

A lot want Mourinho gone. :lol:

[GP]

Chequebook manager. Fraud.

[Niall_Quinn]

LOL - he need more playa.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Straight in to whining about the ref. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mr. Passive Aggressive:


"I think it is also a disappointing afternoon for Craig [Pawson, the referee] because he's a fantastic referee, one of the best in Europe.

"We missed easy chances but I'm really unhappy with the penalty, not with Pawson's performance - Today I think Craig had a good performance, it was a big decision to make from Craig.

"I'm happy with the players' attitude, the players' desires and I'm very happy with my place."

[Marc Overmars]

I bet City can’t believe how fucking easy they’ve got it this season. Title wrapped up before the year is even out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Our game against them will probably end up being a dead rubber at least, as surely they will get past Brizzle City.

[Cripps]

Moaninho :haha:

Pogshit:haha:

Lukak*nt:haha:

T bag :haha:

Bacon face :haha:

£300m :haha:

"He always wins the league in his 2nd season" :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shearer said Liverpool's second was strength, pace and power from Salah. :sarcy:

What was he watching?

[AFC Leveller]

Chelsea 2nd, Liverpool 3 points behind Man ure, the race for top 4 is looking a lot closer than i thought.

we'll probably lose today though.

[Cripps]

City looking disjointed here. Jesus off with a serious injury, early kick off with Palace up in their faces, nothing really clicking.

:popcorn:

[GP]

Townsend is so, so shit.

[AFC Leveller]

Townsend is so, so shit.

we make him look like Messi everytime though. Ugly mofo.

[GP]

we make him look like Messi everytime though. Ugly mofo.

No we don't. He fluked one in, big deal.

[GP]

Zaha dives for a pel!

[GP]

Missed. Fucking twats.

[AFC Leveller]

Wtf that was as close as they came to losing, fuck u Palace.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Puncheon has crocked De Bruyne.

Horrid tackle.

[AFC Leveller]

Fuck u Palace, u fucking no hope yoyo club cunts. How the fuck can they miss a pel that significant?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A bad 'un for Dr Bruyne it seems.

[Cripps]

THEY'RE HUMAN!

[Globalgunner]

0-0 FT
Zaha with his usual dive. Palace didnt profit.

[Globalgunner]

Im 100% certain there is nothing wrong with Puncheon. He will be available for the next match but may have crocked Debruyne for the season.He was just scamming the ref to avoid the ref card his awful challenge deserved.

[Cripps]

Hodgson: 1 loss in 10 games

Woy:bow:

[Globalgunner]

The good...or bad news for us after this game is that if Jesus is out long term. City might come back hard for Sanchez this January. If they offer about 70m. Im sure we will take it.

[Marc Overmars]

Fuck sake Palace!

We had this kind of luck in our unbeaten season too...

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Jesus out for 1/2 months, and Guardiola says De Bruyne was "lucky" so he might be not too bad after all.

[Niall_Quinn]

The good...or bad news for us after this game is that if Jesus is out long term. City might come back hard for Sanchez this January. If they offer about 70m. Im sure we will take it.

If they offer 5 mill we will take it, because currently we're losing him for nothing in the summer. No way he wants to stay here, especially now the club has started the usual character assassination routine.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Henry Winter on De Bruyne:


“The image of Kevin De Bruyne being felled by a cynical, merciless flying scissor kick from Jason Puncheon should be seared on to the authorities’ conscience. The best player in the Premier League crumpled under the impact, falling to earth, and needed placing gently on a stretcher before being carried away. It was a sad image that taints the English game.

Paul Hayward has constructed an article on it needing to be stamped out of the game too.

I don't remember the above kind of comments with what our players regularly face.

[Niall_Quinn]

Henry Winter on De Bruyne:

I didn't think we pay them money to hype our players, we blew the whole budget on getting them to hype Wenger.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton 1-0 Bournemouth, Knockaert.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton 1-1 Bournemouth, Cook.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton 2-1 Bournemouth, Muzza.

[Cripps]

Burnley and letting in last minute goals :lol:

Liverpool level on points with Utd :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

So that’s us firmly planted outside the 4 for the time being then.

At least we have great spirit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool v Man City next time out. :popcorn:

[selassie]

So that’s us firmly planted outside the 4 for the time being then.

At least we have great spirit.

I don't think we'll get back in top 4 again this season, the momentum is definitely with Liverpool and I don't think we'll finish above the Spuds either. 6th place finish for us this season methinks and I think we'll finish a bit adrift points wise too.

Everton: Pickford; Holgate, Williams, Keane, Martina; Davies, Schneiderlin, Vlasic, Rooney, Bolasie; Niasse.

British managers:bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lingard shoots but wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT. :sleep:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mata smacks the post!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pogba with another great clearance.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Awful pass from Wazza.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton 0-1 Man Utd, Martial.

Good one Wazza you idiot.

[Cripps]

Everton are fucking dogshit.

Invited pressure until Utd broke through.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pogba takes out the ref and awards a foul to Man Utd.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pogba. :haha;

How do you pass that out of play?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wazza hauled off, McCarthy on.

Bolasie off, Lennon on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a miss from Niasse.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Matic. :haha:

Pogba. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martial off, Rashford on.

[Cripps]

Get Lewin on you fat prick.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Even when they were getting the odd result, Everton's performances were shit. There's still no identifiable way they play; they only score shitty bundled in goals, penalties or wonder strikes.

Hope they get the equaliser.

Dickheads.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 Lingard, great strike.

[Cripps]

Cunts.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now Calvert-Lewin is on. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fight fight fight!

[Marc Overmars]

That’s Lingard now with more goals than Lacashite. :lol:

A really, really disappointing signing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pogba gets MotM, immediately falls on his arse.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 FT.

Everton gonna Neverton.

[Globalgunner]

Ironically, De Bruyne is in the team tonight, but Puncheon is out for 6 months after injuring his knee in the tackle.

De bruyne is a lucky chap. I thought he had been hobbled good and Puncheon was just faking it to avoid a card which he deserved (red).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Swansea 0-1 Spuds, Llorente.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man City 1-0 Watford, Sterling.

Southampton 1-0 Crystal Palace, Long.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Llorente's goal was from an offside position.

The centre back has been criticised for getting the wrong side of Llorente and letting him have a free header.

Hmm.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good weather at Swansea. :lol:

[AFC Leveller]

2-0 city. No messing about.

[Globalgunner]

2-0 city. No messing about.

These defenders need to get on the phone to Welbz and Walcott to learn how to put a ball over the bar from 2 yards out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 city. No messing about.

Kabasele OG.

[AFC Leveller]

Debryune almost breaks the bar with a free kick.

Good effort.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rangel off injured, Narsingh on.

Vertonghen backs it on to his own post!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton 1-1 Palace, McArthur.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dyer off, McBurnie on.

McBurnie. :lol:

Doesn't get any more Scottish than that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lamela off, Sissoko on.

Pochettino fancies giving the points away.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Van Der Hoorn booked, should've been rewarded for taking out Dele Alli tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 3-0 Watford, Aguero.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton 1-2 Palace, Milivojevic!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 3-1 Watford, Gray.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stoke are 18th. :pray:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 3-1 Watford, FT.

[Niall_Quinn]

We're 6th, 24 points off the top. On the shoulder of the frontrunners and ready to sweep past them in the final stretch. It's looking good.

[AFC Leveller]

We're 6th, 24 points off the top. On the shoulder of the frontrunners and ready to sweep past them in the final stretch. It's looking good.

Spammers showing little or no ambition. Like shooting Spam in a barrel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aurier. :haha:

Useless.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sissoko. :haha:

Amazing pass and awareness.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four added minutes.

Noble booked.
