Merry Christmas. :dance:

Also, Thursday Night Football, can't get away from it.

[Marc Overmars]

Looks like we got lucky with the TV picks really given we have 6 days between the games.

Not that having a rest period has made much of a difference this season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No Wazza for Neverton.

[AFC Leveller]

Anyone else reckon citeh will go unbeaten all season? 17 wins in a row and more often than not a walk in the park for them.

[Marc Overmars]

I am worried in all honesty but it’s too early to be of a real concern just yet.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Burnley 0-1 Spuds, Kane pelanty.

Dele Alli with the dive.

City 13 clear. :sleep:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lingard missed a sitter too, open goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

City 13 clear. :sleep:

Easier league than the one Leicester won. Biggest non-event of a season yet, and there have been a few. They'll try and and spin it for all they are worth, but in the end the players in this league can't pass, can't tackle, can't shoot, can't defend, can't entertain, but CAN charge a lot of money for not doing those things.

Had a good night tonight with family, well away from football.

[Niall_Quinn]

This is the first Christmas in 30 years where I haven't watched any football, not even our game. I highly recommend it. I'll get back to the shit in the new year, and make no mistake, it it is shit.

[Globalgunner]

5-2. Tadic gets a 2nd one. Would be a memorable goal in any other context.

Surely the greatest striker the Prem has ever seen?<_<

The people thinking that can do one.

Bournemouth 3-3 West Ham!

[Xhaka Can’t]

The Ox is starting

[Globalgunner]

Coutinho. Wow!. Just Wow!

[selassie]

Kane is ridiculous. :blink:

World class, arguably the best number 9 in the game at the moment, I'd have him above Cavani and Lewandowski.

He now has 56 goals in 52 games, that is insane, Messi/Ronaldo type level.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Salad dive

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Firmino.

[Xhaka Can’t]

3-0 Alexander-Arnold.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Now it’s 4

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Swansea. :lol:

Surely going down this season?

[Xhaka Can’t]

Yeah, this is it.

On another note, what a boring match

[Xhaka Can’t]

Firmino and Salah off

[Xhaka Can’t]

Me too.

Seen enough. Gonna lie down for a snooze.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"I had a guess at the score beforehand, but I didn't want to say in case I embarrassed myself."

Pat Nevin. I think he got all scores correct today once the results were in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

5-0 Ox. No easy games in this league.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Had a check, the bastard bookies won’t take any of today’s correct score bets.

[Cripps]

Utd :haha:

Moody Jose :haha:

Lukak*nt :haha:

Pogshit :haha:

T bag:haha:

Bacon face :haha:

[GP]

Kompany off injured after 10 mins :doh:

[Globalgunner]

Does Rafa seriously want to defend for 90 mins at home?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kompany off injured after 10 mins :doh:

He needs to be put down.

[GP]

Barcodes aren't even trying to play.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne shoots, not really close.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes 0-1 Citeh, Sterling.

What a pass from De Bruyne.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neville saying this tactic from Newcastle has been embarrassing and no ambition. :sarcy:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cleared off the line from Otamendi!

Walker. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fernandinho avoids a booking. :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 HT.

[Marc Overmars]

I thought they overpaid for KDB but it turns out he was a bargain.

Also, Sterling with twice as many goals as Lacashite. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne, not even close.

[Cripps]

De Bruyne tearing it up. Easily best player in the league.

But Rosicky was better :lol:

Blink 1nce Quince 2wice :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne smacks the post!

Poor from Aguero being offside for the rebound.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gayle booked for diving. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aguero off, Mangala on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

B.Silva off, Sane on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 FT.

[Marc Overmars]

:sleep:

[Cripps]

Thank you City :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Thank you City :bow:

You won’t be thanking them if the Invincibles are erased from history because of this utterly ridiculous run of form.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

:sleep:

If Newcastle had better players than Dwight Gayle up front, could easily have been draw. City were average second half

[GP]

I mean, it won't be seen in the same way. This is bought and paid for. That can't be ignored.

[AFC Leveller]

19 wins from 20 games is just insane, cant see anybody matching them for years.

I hope we can beat them when they come to our place and at least save our record. They also have to go to Anfield and Wembley so there is still hope.

[Niall_Quinn]

If Newcastle had better players than Dwight Gayle up front, could easily have been draw. City were average second half

City are average full stop, by comparison to the big teams of the past. But average is more than good enough to dominate this league. Everything is relative and Pep's greatest attribute is his ability to be in the right place at the right time with the biggest chequebook. None of it is remotely impressive.

[Cripps]

:haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

:haha:

More than capable of beating them with just a few sane steps applied to the team selection and tactics.

So no chance whatsoever then.
