As it stands:

[Niall_Quinn]

You forgot to make a mistake :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's the mistake.

[Niall_Quinn]

That's the mistake.

One you are unlikely to repeat again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton: Ryan, Goldson, Duffy, Dunk, Suttner, Schelotto, Stephens, Propper, March, Gross, Hemed.
Subs: Hunemeier, Kayal, Baldock, Murray, Izquierdo, Rosenior, Krul.

Chelsea: Caballero, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger, Moses, Kante, Bakayoko, Alonso, Willian, Batshuayi, Hazard.
Subs: Barkley, Musonda, Zappacosta, Luiz, Eduardo, Ampadu, Sterling.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willian freekick, straight at Ryan.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Hazard, horrendous defending.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 Willian.

Brighton. :haha:

[Globalgunner]

0-2 Willian
Thats quite a goal!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chaos in Chelsea's area with Willy coming out and bringing Schelotto down.

How has the ref missed that? :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willy all over the place.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ryan saves from Batshit.

Another team conceding four or more this week is going to happen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How has Willy kept that out?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Another pel not given?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Handball from Christensen not given.

You know nothing Jon Moss.

[Globalgunner]

Another pel not given?

Not a pel for me. Bakayoko had his arm in front of the guy, which in theory should be keeping up rather than causing him to fall. An arm on the back would have been more plausible.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He was tripped up by him.

[Globalgunner]

I didnt see that.
Players seem to have it in their heads that any contact in the box is an automatic penalty. It isnt actually.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good clearance from Hazard.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hazard diving. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Christensen off with concussion, David Luiz on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willian freekick, saved on to the post!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schelotto has to score there. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-3 Hazard with his second, Batshit falling over to give him the space.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Theo starts for Everton

[Niall_Quinn]

Theo starts for Everton

Might watch that game instead of ours. Be interesting to see how Theo does with his first bit of coaching in over a decade.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-4 in the end, Moses with it.

Wake up Fernandinho.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne pubs it out of play.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne's freekick. :haha:

WTF?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 1-0 Barcodes, De Bruyne or Aguero. BT can't decide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aguero does touch it, just about.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Citeh, Sterling being a cheat again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 2-0 Barcodes, Aguero with his second.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 2-1 Barcodes, Murphy!

Where was the defence? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sterling shot, saved on to the post!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ederson. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne misses a sitter really.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-1 Aguero hat-trick. That was ridiculous from Sane.

70 goals in the league now for them. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sterling hauled off, B. Silva on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sane off, Ricardo Diaz on or something.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-1 FT.

[Marc Overmars]

Marco Silva sacked. :lol:

First thing Merse has ever called right?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They're 10th FFS!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The statement added: "This has been a difficult decision and one not taken lightly.

"The catalyst for this decision is that unwarranted approach, something which the board believes has seen a significant deterioration in both focus and results to the point where the long-term future of Watford has been jeopardised."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42765881

Good thing nobody can get your manager now...

No cojones.

[Niall_Quinn]

They've sacked their manager because he was good enough to be in demand?

:haha:

Football :haha:

That said, Mighty Watford are languishing in 10th place in the richest league in the world. A vast metropolis like Watford doesn't deserve that.

Anyway, Phil Brown? Steve McLaren? Who's next?

Mark Hughes?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's going to be another foreigner, Merson is going to be gobsmacked again. Hopefully.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sounds like it needs to be somebody that won't be approached by other clubs. So he'll need to be shit, a manager nobody would ever want.

But Wenger is not available. They're fucked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The statement also said that they are convinced appointing Marco Silva was the right decision?!

[Niall_Quinn]

The statement also said that they are convinced appointing Marco Silva was the right decision?!

So now he's free, they could hire him back?

[Globalgunner]

Harry Kane tribute currently on in the guise of a build up to the Saints-Spuds match.
Next Ballon D`or for the next 5 years, Messi, no chance.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton: McCarthy; Cedric, Stephens, Hoedt, Bertrand; Lemina, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Tadic, Hojbjerg; Gabbiadini.

Spuds: Vorm; Aurier, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Davies; Dier, Dembele, Sissoko, Dele, Son; Kane.

[Globalgunner]

Expertly put in his own net by Sanches. 1-0

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton 1-0 Spuds, SANCHEZ OG!!! :haha:

[Globalgunner]

1-1. The Kane machine rolls on. No doubt the boy is good

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Harry Kane team.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 HT.

[Niall_Quinn]

Southampton 1-0 Spuds, SANCHEZ OG!!! :haha:

Alexis :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kane fluffer. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kane shot, cleared away by Stephens.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And a scuffer from the supposedly technically excellent Dembele.

Vertonghen shoots wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Son hauled off, Lamela on.

I don't know why Sissoko still gets to stay on. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aurier off injured, Trippier on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dembele finally booked. Scrote.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How has Lemina got away without a yellow there? :haha:

[Globalgunner]

Dembele finally booked. Scrote.

Teflon Dembele. should be his 5th yellow

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Trippier booked. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lemina off, Davis on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dele Alli was offside, clearly, he obviously kicks the ball away and yet the ref quickly turns around to pretend he didn't see it. Embarrassing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gabbiadini off, Obafemi on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Spuds are pretty shit tbf.

Just wish we could get to their shit level.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd (h), Liverpool (a), Arsenal (h) next in the league so the Spuds probably need to win.

Dele Alli avoids another booking. :sleep:

[Globalgunner]

No card for Alli again. Its incredible!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Obafemi fucks it up. Models himself after Fat Ronaldo, too true.

[GP]

Alli is a shit player. Overrated as fuck

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hit it first time Boufal you berk!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kane just dropped the Ashes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Five added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wanyama for the laugh? Not relying on Sky it seems.

[Niall_Quinn]

Alli is a shit player. Overrated as fuck

Best in England. Worth 192 million. Never gets sent off. So good the hype can't keep up with him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton 1-1 Spuds, FT. :lol:

Only three points ahead. :popcorn:

[Globalgunner]

1-1 FT. Spuds dodged at least 3 red cards there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hold on,Man Utd, Liverpool Arsenal, Juventus?

A bit grim fixture list wise.

[Cripps]

Spurs fan at work on Friday:

"I think Arsenal will drop points this weekend"

:haha: :haha: :haha:

[Letters]

Southampton 1-1 Spuds, FT. :lol:

Only three points ahead. :popcorn:

The race for the all important 5th place trophy is ON!

[Marc Overmars]

The return of St Totts Day, I can feel it. That would show real progress.

[Letters]

No, it would show more stagnation :p
It would be nice but I think they are better than us. Maybe Sanchez was an issue though and we will pick up now and we'll run them close. Top 4 not impossible, but there's a bit of a gap there now.

They aren't better than us.

[Letters]

They have been last 2 seasons - 2 years ago we snuck above them on the last day but let's be honest, they were better than us that year.
This season, they're a bit of a one man team and overall I don't think there's much in it. If they don't win anything this year :pray: and Kane's head is turned then they could be screwed.

[Niall_Quinn]

OMG. The "Alexis was the problem" thing has really gathered steam.

Splutter, have a heart attack, launch into a fit of rage, laugh? What do you do in these circumstances?

[GP]

What do you do in these circumstances?

Whinge about it on a dead internet message board.

[Letters]

:haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Not a bad idea. But what if somebody else comes along on the same dead Internet board and objects?

Not "the".

[Niall_Quinn]

Not "the".

No, it was also the wrong type of rain.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bilic is in the MNF studio to shit on Carragher.

Carragher is criticising Rafa's negative set up against Man city. Anybody remember the same words for how many ever pub teams over the years at the Emirates?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Swansea: Fabianski, Fernandez, van der Hoorn, Mawson, Naughton, Fer, Ki, Clucas, Olsson, Dyer, Ayew.

Liverpool: Karius, Gomez, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Can, Wijnaldum, Salah, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mane, Firmino.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not typing this for the first time - horrendous tackle from Fer.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Van Dijk header, just drifts wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Salah. :doh:

Don't think he needed to take it on the half turn volley.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ox belts it but Fabianski saves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Swansea 1-0 Liverpool, MAWSON!!

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Assist to Virgil there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fernandez got his face smashed in by his teammate in the celebration. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robertson booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Matip booked.

Scrote.

Also, Mane. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ayew tried to do the Bergkamp turn that he did on Dabizas. Nearly.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Salah tried to comb it, not even close.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant challenge from Naughton on Robertson.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Fabianski off Salah's freekick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dyer off, Carroll on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ox well and truly hauled off, Lallana on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Matip belts it over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wijnaldum off, Ings on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ings in on goal, ish. Bit of a scuffer really and Fabianski clasps it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ayew off, Bony on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gomez storming in, wide the shot goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Van Dijk on the volley, it goes sky high.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Horrible corner from Salah.

Van Dijk header, easy for Fabianski.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four added minutes. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Can on the volley. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor from Salah.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Agent Fabianski. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Firmino hit the post somehow, Lallana puts it over the bar somehow!

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Swansea 1-0 Liverpool, FT!!!! :haha:

As if it wasn't tight enough in the bottom half of the table to begin with.

Anyway:

Klopp. :haha:

Ox. :haha:

Virgil. :haha:

Million Dollar Man. HAHAHHAHAHA.

Thommo. :haha:

Redknapp. :haha: Van Dijk guarantees Top Four. :haha:

Carvajal. :bow:

Merse has fallen off his chair again.

Says it all about Liverpool, beat the team in 1st, lose to the team in 20th.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fight fight fight!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Ultimate Liverpool that.

Pretty much anyone up to Everton could go down and everyone form 6th upwards could be top 4. :wacko:

[Letters]

Klopp :haha:

[GP]

Flopp :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

https://youtu.be/BD0ivRR48Mk

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He said on Sky Sports: “I told my players: Liverpool is a strong team. Like a Formula 1 car.

"If you put that F1 car in the 4pm London traffic, the F1 car will not drive very fast. That’s exactly what we had to do. Let them play in a way they don’t like.

Carvajal. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Carvajal. :bow:

You're spelling his name incorrectly.

Another Maccy Mistake. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

I spelt it as it feels right.

Carlos Augusto Soares da Costa Faria Carvalhal in the future.

[Letters]

Carlos Augusto Soares da Costa Faria Carvalhal.

You killed my father, prepare to die...

That's exactly what I thought!! :haha:

Carlos Augusto Soares da Costa Faria Carvalhal in the future.

Not a local fella then?

[KSE Comedy Club]

Not a local fella then?

On the contrary, he was born and raised in Bangor - his parents were just overly flamboyant people
