[Niall_Quinn]

Didn't even know we were playing Utd today :lol:

Wow. What's happened to this club. This is one of the fixtures I'd look for at the start of the season and then count down the days. On the morning of the match it was butterflies in the stomach, at the end of the match it was a supreme high or a supreme low (often having caused a disgrace swearing at the refs and that diving motherfuckingcunt Van Nistlerooy).

Now?

Nothing.

[Niall_Quinn]

Hold on!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 1-0 Neverton, Son.

[Cripps]

Darren Ferguson when asked what the FA could do about the standard of refereeing: “Shoot them would be a good idea.”

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jagielka booked for trying to take Dele Alli out of the game.

Not a suitable punishment.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 2-0 Neverton, Kane tap-in and he was offside.

Refs. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wazza. :haha:

Good effort.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Did I hear correctly.....Kane's 19th premier league goal of the Season!???

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dele Alli fucks it up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bolasie hauled off, Lennon on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0, Kane again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tosun finally hauled off, Calvert-Lewin on.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Big Sam's bubble well and truly burst.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pickford saves from Son and Dele Alli.

[LDG]

Kane Hatwick coming upth?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0 Eriksen.

[LDG]

Jesus.

They’ll be thinking they’re putting the pressure on soon :upset:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0 FT. Neverton. :doh:

[Cripps]

Everton:haha:

Fat Sam to get the boot in the summer? :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Our GD. :rose:

A bit grim.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How have the officials missed Doucoure's slam dunk? :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And the same is true for Diame's save.

As said before, officiating in this league is atrocious.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

And the same is true for Diame's save.

As said before, officiating in this league is atrocious.

VAR only been trialed in the Cup competitions?

1-0 Ox. :sick:

[Marc Overmars]

Come on Liverpool. :popcorn:

[AFC Leveller]

I said to my brother yesterday that city would lose today. Have a feeling Liverpool are more up for it.

[Power n Glory]

Great stuff, Ox!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Salah fucks it up.

[Niall_Quinn]

Gypo defence is quite shit tbf. Expect Liverpool to get a bag full today.

[Niall_Quinn]

Of course Liverpool have to stand strong when Pep plays his ref card.

[Cripps]

Chamberlain scores

Further embarrassment for Wenger :haha:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Chamberlain scores

Further embarrassment for Wenger :haha:

:sick:

Pretty much, it’s a shame that our manager has no shame

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne fires it in, so close for Aguero.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ox has always had great potential. But he's been in football limbo for years. Give him a couple of seasons under a manager who isn't a complete fucking fraud and that potential might be unlocked. But he's like a trauma victim or a coma patient right now, will have to be slowly nursed back into football.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sane shot, deflects behind.

[Niall_Quinn]

LOL - Pep has Dean as the 4th official :haha:

The nuclear option.

[Niall_Quinn]

Damn, Delph is injured. That's going to double the effectiveness of the gypo defence.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ox boots it out of play this time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Delph you muppet, delaying Danilo coming on so I can't get the cheeky little point for playing 60 minutes and indeed the clean sheet.

[Niall_Quinn]

Good defending by the ref or else Pool were in there.

[Niall_Quinn]

Liverpool should have been in 3 or 4 times already but some really sloppy play at the last moment. It's a big surprise this gypo team hasn't had a few good beatings yet because their defence is shite.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 1-1 Man City, Sane. Brilliant really.

[Cripps]

City missing silva badly

[Cripps]

I'm 30 secs behind :lol:

What a goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

Cunty flukes one in after handballing it. Keeper with the assist. 1-1

[Cripps]

Karius with an Almunia :lol:

[Power n Glory]

That was some good football from Sane.

[Niall_Quinn]

Pubandinho brunts it a mile wide. Reminded me a bit of Ross Barkley there. That shite.

[Niall_Quinn]

They're cutting the gypos to ribbons but the final ball is shite every time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 HT.

[Niall_Quinn]

1-1 HT

All Liverpool but one punt up the field and a toe poke gets the gypsies back into it. Bit more care with the final ball and Liverpool should blow them out by a big score.

[Niall_Quinn]

Time for AFTV during the HT break :haha:

I wonder will Ty be outside with his cock out, waiting through the night to catch a glimpse of Wenker?

[Cripps]

"But who's gonna replace him" :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

"But who's gonna replace him" :lol:

It's gone beyond unbelievable into some new realm.

You watch these two, Pool and the gypos, playing and we are fucking miles and miles behind this. Look at the way both teams try to get the ball upfield at pace. That's how you win games.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Why does no one answer him when he asks that, he thinks he has a good point

[Cripps]

Ox having a beast game so far.

Must be great playing in a good team with good tactics, under a good manager that helps you blossom.

[Globalgunner]

Why does no one answer him when he asks that, he thinks he has a good point

Nobody wants to stoop to his level. If you mentioned some names, he would probably answer that none of those managers could ever love Arsenal the way Wenger does.

[Niall_Quinn]

Ox having a beast game so far.

Must be great playing in a good team with good tactics, under a good manager that helps you blossom.

And now he can cross a ball :haha:

WTF?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Still misses the target when cutting inside from close range though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mane shot, the deflection took any sting out of it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 Firmino.

And booked.

[AFC Leveller]

Good goal.

[Marc Overmars]

Get in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mane just dropped the Ashes!

[AFC Leveller]

Almost 3, mane hits the post.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-1 Mane smacks it in this time.

[AFC Leveller]

3!!

[AFC Leveller]

Lol unbeaten record :lol:

[Özim]

Liverpool are going to be quite a force in a year or two, Klopp is putting together a pretty good team.

[Marc Overmars]

Invincibles. :haha:

Liverpool. :bow:

[Cripps]

Invincibles :haha:

[Özim]

Countinho who?

[Cripps]

Invincibles. :haha:

Liverpool. :bow:

Told you ;)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Otamendi booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-1 Salah, Ederson just gave it straight to him. :doh:

:haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Wow. :haha:

[LDG]

Get in :lol:

That’s all I care about this season.

If they get beat today, I’m satisfied for 2017/18

[Cripps]

:haha: :haha:

[AFC Leveller]

This loss should send them into panic mode and force their hand on the Sanchez deal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sterling booked.

[Marc Overmars]

Get in :lol:

That’s all I care about this season.

If they get beat today, I’m satisfied for 2017/18

Yep.

Now this season can do one once and for all.

[Cripps]

Who was it that said Klopp isn't better than Wenger? MS? GP? :haha:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Sad that we need someone else to do our dirty work for us

But still though, proves what a ridiculous feat that was

49 undefeated.....to be followed by 49 games without an away win :haha:

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Liverpool are going to be quite a force in a year or two, Klopp is putting together a pretty good team.
This is without their two new signings too!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sterling hauled off, B. Silva on.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Who was it that said Klopp isn't better than Wenger? MS? GP? :haha:

Weren’t me. I was screaming at us to get him back when he lead Dortmund to their second title in a row.

[Marc Overmars]

This loss should send them into panic mode and force their hand on the Sanchez deal.

Hopefully they see United are genuine and top the reported 30m offer.

[Özim]

8 points away from the CL spot, 4th place trophy :lol:

[Globalgunner]

8 points away from the CL spot, 4th place trophy :lol:

We wont give up while its still mathematically possible

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Unbeaten record in tact! Lovely jubbly.

[Özim]

Hopefully this makes people realise Man City are beatable, especially in Europe, granted Liverpool are unbelievable going forward but still.

Liverpool are in a really good place, Van Dijk in, money to burn, already a top team, they're where we should be really. That's progression for you.

[Globalgunner]

Any manager in the Ryman league would be better than Wenger because they would actually know that their job was on the line and not insist on doing the same shit every season

[Özim]

We wont give up while its still mathematically possible

I expect he'll play weaknened sides in the Europa and League cup to battle for that 4th place. Wengers luck has finally run out.

[Marc Overmars]

8 points away from the CL spot, 4th place trophy :lol:

Shows how bad things have got when we don't even have the 4th place trophy to play for.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I'm going to hold off until full time. We conceded 3 to you guys in no time at all, so City can certainly do it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hopefully this makes people realise Man City are beatable, especially in Europe, granted Liverpool are unbelievable going forward but still.

Liverpool are in a really good place, Van Dijk in, money to burn, already a top team, they're where we should be really. That's progression for you.

Fourth last season and fourth this? Well ok tbf third on GD currently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I expect he'll play weaknened sides in the Europa and League cup to battle for that 4th place. Wengers luck has finally run out.

Europa League is the mathematical chance.

[Özim]

Fourth last season and fourth this?

They'll be 3rd tonight, and will probably chase 2nd, but more importantly they seem to be progressing on the pitch, the attack is electric and they've just starting addressing the defence as well.

It's more about how they are trying to build a team.

[Özim]

Shows how bad things have got when we don't even have the 4th place trophy to play for.

Yeah it was a gimme in the past, now we're nowhere near, eventually though if you stand still clubs catch up and overtake you, we rode our luck for too long and thought we were invincibles.

[Özim]

Bet the Ox is glad he made the move and even took a pay cut.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Fourth last season and fourth this? Well ok tbf third on GD currently.

Definitely on an upward trajectory. They can beat anyone on their day. Play the type of football we’d give one of our testes to watch.

[Cripps]

A keeper and they'll be next level.

[Özim]

Guardiola :lol:

[Cripps]

Level on points with Utd :faint:

Fair play.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-2 B. Silva. There's the defensive improvement.

[Cripps]

City to panic and make a £30m bid for Sanchez? :pray:

[Özim]

4-2 B. Silva. There's the defensive improvement.

They're beating the runaway leaders who are unbeaten and moving up in the league, I'd say that's an improvement, noone else has managed it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-3, Gundogan! :haha:

[Özim]

What a game!

[Cripps]

Oh my goodness...

[Cripps]

Surely not...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Freekick to Citeh. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor from Aguero.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 4-3 Citeh, FT.

Invincibles. :haha:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Now I think you have the right to mock Liverpool’s defending

[Özim]

The Kop is rocking.

[LDG]

Invincibles :haha:

[Özim]

Liverpool best of the rest champions!

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Boom! Immortal invincibles.

[Power n Glory]

Yessssss!

[GP]

Fuck off Josep. There's only one Invincibles.

[Marc Overmars]

Liverpool. :bow:

Thank you.

[Cripps]

Invincibles :haha: :haha:

[Özim]

Wenger, poor mans Klopp.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I'm going to hold off until full time. We conceded 3 to you guys in no time at all, so City can certainly do it.Citeh :pal:

[Cripps]

I respect Ox so much.

Imagine being part of that.

Theo should learn a thing or 2.

[Cripps]

Wenger, poor mans Klopp.

:lol:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Citeh :pal:

Squeaky bum time was it?

[Özim]

I respect Ox so much.

Imagine being part of that.

Theo should learn a thing or 2.

Took a pay cut as well as he wanted to play, great move for him could have been stuck on a sinking ship instead.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Squeaky bum time was it?Never in doubt.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Klopp has won 4 out of 6 league games against City

[Niall_Quinn]

Damn, missed the second half because I had to be a taxi service.

It was easy to see Pool were going to do them today, they are a much better team than the gypos. The gypos need a huge squad and the refs to enforce this so-called dominance and they have been very very lucky to go unbeaten this far because their defence is really shit. Their so called stars are massively overrated, including DeBrown. All PL pundit hype to sell shirts and TV adverts. Decent team, for sure, but nothing special. Their points tally is special but it's a fluke. They'll lose a few more before the end of the season unless Pep spends another 200 mill to shore up that defence.

Pool will be champs within the next 2 seasons. Best team in the league now, but still with that crappy defence too. You saw Klopp though, van Djik - 75 mill - no problem, what happens on the pitch comes first. Proper manager and shows up our accountant/ bank manager as the compete fraud he is.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger, poor mans Klopp.

Insult to Klopp. Wenger is a poor man's, down and out, mind fucked bum under a bridge.

[Marc Overmars]

Liverpool's frontline is pretty damn impressive tbf. Really negated any impact losing Coutinho might have had.

Wish we had a fast, interchangeable attack of our own.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Liverpool's frontline is pretty damn impressive tbf. Really negated any impact losing Coutinho might have had.

Wish we had a fast, interchangeable attack of our own.

We did, Sanchez, Welbeck and Walcott. But Wenger couldn’t not play Giroud

[Globalgunner]

Stinky Stoke or ugly United. Who would the devil support?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd: De Gea; Valencia, Jones, Smalling, Shaw; Matic, Pogba; Mata, Lingard, Martial; Lukaku
Subs: J. Pereira, Lindelof, Rojo, Fellaini, Herrera, McTominay, Rashford.

Stoke: Butland; Moritz, Zouma, Martins Indi, Tymon; Allen, Fletcher; Shaqiri, Ireland, Choupo-Moting; Crouch.
Subs: Grant, Wimmer, Edwards, Adam, Afellay, Ramadan, Diouf.

------------------------

Stoke. :rose:

[Globalgunner]

I cant believe a team in dire straits would hire Paul Lambert. Is there a short term memory loss affliction amongst PL team owners?. Or have the Stoke owners taken out a bet in the summer that the team would bve relegated?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pitiful dive from Martial.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Valencia. Stoke. :lol:

This will be six or seven I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great effort on the overhead kick from Shaqiri.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ireland with a good chane, sends it miles wide from where he is.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ireland does it again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for Chupo-Moting!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Martial.

[KSE Comedy Club]

That’s why Martial won’t be joining us

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Matic. :haha:

Sums him up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0 Lukaku with his +1's now the game is won.
