Brighton 6-0 Wolves, Undav with his second. He looked hopeless in the Cup semi-final against Man Utd.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brentford 1-1 Forest, Keylor Navas OG.

Relying on Merse for the updates here so fuck knows.

[Mac76]

Finally over. Bit of a kick in the nuts for Forest

A pity, don't really care about Foreat, not least as they discarded all the players that got them to the PL, but I really want both Leicester and Neverton to go down

According to soccerbase, Aston Villa have not done the double over United since 1955.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I don't think they will today either, Man Utd are quite good at Old Trafford.

[HCZ_Reborn]

I don't think they will today either, Man Utd are quite good at Old Trafford.

My money is on a draw. United been a bit flakey of late.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Don’t get why Silva doesn’t start the Israeli chap Solomon, one of their best players especially with that silly lunatic Mitrovic suspended

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Citeh already.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

50th of the season in all competitions.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Grealish shot straight at Leno.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fulham 1-1 Man City, VINICIUS!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bournemouth 1-0 Leeds, Lerma!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Broken arm for Ream?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ream off, Diop on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bournemouth 2-0 Leeds, Lerma with his second..

Leeds going to the Etihad could be 20-0.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Bournemouth 1-0 Leeds, Lerma!

2-0 Lerma again

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Grealish hits the bar!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leno saved it on to the bar!

[HCZ_Reborn]

United 1-0 Villa

Bruno Fernandes

[HCZ_Reborn]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fulham 1-2 Man City, HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leno saves from Alvarez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Newcastle 1-1 Southampton, Wilson.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pereira stretchered off, Cairney coming on.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Bournemouth 3-1 Leeds Solanke

[Mac76]

Despite the fact that Man City have 100% won the PL, it would still be nice if Fulham got an equaliser

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Getting quite testy at Craven Cottage.

[Marc Overmars]

Bournemouth have done so well to beat the drop. I think most of us would have had them as dead certs to go down.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Newcastle 2-1 Southampton Wilson Brace

[HCZ_Reborn]

Goal scrubbed by VAR 1-1

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Decordova-Reid off, Lukic on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Javi Gracia will get sacked surely.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[HCZ_Reborn]

FT Fulham 1-2 City

[Marc Overmars]

I think the record of most days at the top without winning the title is ours for keeps tbh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 FT.

Fulham competed well but didn't attempt to take their slight half chances.

[Mac76]

I think the record of most days at the top without winning the title is ours for keeps tbh.

That's probably it for our being top this season, wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea got a point on Tuesday

[Marc Overmars]

That's probably it for our being top this season, wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea got a point on Tuesday

The aim now is to just ensure City don’t stroll to it. Make it as difficult as we possibly can.

Would be quite embarrassing if we limped to the finish line, which I suspect is what will happen though. The way Newcastle are going we might even have to sweat on being runners up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Jones, Elliott; Salah, Gakpo, Diaz
Subs: Kelleher, Gomez, Milner, Henderson, Jota, Tsimikas, Nunez, Carvalho, Matip.

Spuds: Forster; Romero, Dier, Davies; Porro, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Son.
Subs: Austin, Sanchez, Richarlison, Danjuma, Tanganga, Moura, Sarr, Lenglet, Devine.

[Mac76]

Now at least let Liverpool stick to the script and fuck Spuds over...

I was honestly quite relieved to find we'd definitely made the CL last week as even fourth could have been in doubt

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 1-0 Tottenham, Jones.

Five in twenty coming up again?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 2-0 Tottenham, Luis Dias! Oh my.

:haha:

[HCZ_Reborn]

2-0 :haha:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Using In the Thick of It, the spurs defence looking less secure than a hymen in a south london comprehensive

[Marc Overmars]

Oh dear. :lol:

Shame they’ve left it too late to catch United. That would be hilarious.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh dear. :lol:

Shame they’ve left it too late to catch United. That would be hilarious.

Brighton have a job to do on Man Utd the AMEX. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Liverpool!

:haha:

[Marc Overmars]

3-0 Salah. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 3-0 Tottenham, Salah.

14 minutes on the clock.

[Marc Overmars]

Imagine travelling so far 2 weekends in a row and leaving after 15 mins AGAIN.

Tragic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tottenham fans are off already.

:haha:

[Mac76]

:haha: :haha:

[Letters]

Everywhere they go…

:haha:

[Marc Overmars]

They’re so bad. :lol:

This could be anything for Liverpool here if they go for it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kane scuffed the ball across goal but was offside anyway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Conte knew. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's a shocker from Skipp.

[Marc Overmars]

Leicester v Neverton should be tasty.

Loser will probably go down.

[Marc Overmars]

3-1 Kane :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Van Dijk clears off the line to deny Son!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The comeback is on.

[Marc Overmars]

Liverpool have fallen asleep.

[Marc Overmars]

Love these weird end of season games.

Except when we’re involved in them of course.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That plane that can be heard over Anfield is protesting against the Liverpool owners.

[Marc Overmars]

Son hits the post as does Romero :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Son hits the post!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Romero hits the post!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Elliott and Luis Dias off, Henderson and Diogo Jota on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kulusevski off, Sarr on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gakpo off, Nunez on.

[Marc Overmars]

3-2 Son :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Letters]

Is there time for a winner? :haha:

Yes. Yes there is.

[Mac76]

Leicester v Neverton tonight - given i want them both to go down, am hoping for an injury-and-card-ridden 0-0 :satan:

[Letters]

Why do you want Leicester to go down?
I want Everton to but I can’t really justify that.

[Marc Overmars]

Want Neverton to go down.

Surely would have to be considered one of the worst relegations ever when you factor in the stature of the club and money spent.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leicester 2-1 Everton, Calvert-Lewin pelanty, then Soyuncu and Vardy.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Shame for Coleman, looks a bad one. Could be him done.

Ah pel to Leicester now. Saved :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton look fucked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton might have to beat Man City to stay up because they just don't get points away from home.

I think only beating Bournemouth at home last day will be too little by then.

:rose:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

2-2 Iwobi

Shut up Maccy :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-2 Iwobi. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think Leicester are fucked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

My voodoo powers are still strong.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leicester 2-2 Everton, FT.

Think they're still both fucked.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I can't see past Leeds going down, they're truly terrible at the moment. The others are properly crap, but Leeds are next level bad. And with City and Newcastle next up, you'd think they'll be right in it.

Everton will cling to life, as they always do.

[Letters]

:haha:

And in comes Fat Sam to face Man City. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Build him a statue outside the Emirates if they beat City.

[Letters]

New manager bounce :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Any chance our boy Rice could do us a favour tonight?

[Marc Overmars]

Nope, he’s not even in the squad. :rose:

[Mac76]

West Ham only have seven on the bench, must have a lot of injuries

[HCZ_Reborn]

Why are West Ham showing us up?

[HCZ_Reborn]

Half time…Ammers holding City and Liverpool 1-0 up on Fulham via Salah penalty

[HCZ_Reborn]

City 1-0 Ammers Ake

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Haaland makes it 2.

Breaks the scoring record.

Freak.

[Letters]

Why are West Ham showing us up?

Why don’t you just shut your trap, Jinxy McJinxerson
:sulk:

[Marc Overmars]

Leeds next up. :lol:

[Letters]

Leeds next up. :lol:

Big Sam :bow:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Brighton and United 0-0 entering half time

Sounds very much like repeat of semi final that simmered but never boiled over…both sides missing chances

[Marc Overmars]

Brighton win it with a last minute Mac Allister penalty. :haha:

Liverpool with an outside shot of 4th now if they keep winning. :popcorn:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Brighton beat United 1-0, in the 9th minute of injury time

Mac Allister penalty after Luke Shaw handball

[Letters]

The Top 2 trophy is up for grabs now :cool:

[HCZ_Reborn]

We need 3 points to guarantee 2nd I make it

We’d have to lose the next four by eye watering amounts for Gary Neville’s prediction of United finishing above us to have. A chance of coming to pass

Was a little bit concerned a week ago

[Letters]

Was a little bit concerned a week ago
Ah stop being a pussy. Wasn't it you earlier in the season who was worried about us finishing top 4 when we had a bit of a wobble earlier in the season?
I know we've had another wobble of late, but there's something about this lot. Two of the games we dropped points in were Liverpool and City away.
We should be beating West Ham and Southampton of course, but even then that comeback against Southampton, we wouldn't have done that last year.
Were it not for the City juggernaut we'd have cruised to the title this year, we're better than everyone else.
