Charlie having an orgasm on Soccer Saturday.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 2-1 Sheffield United, Robinson!

:popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

For some reason rather than talking about the games ongoing, we have to cut to Carragher for this evening's game. :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Trezeguet sent off!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tielemans somehow avoids a red after a VAR review.

It's a stitch-up, they all just stay with the referee call on field.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

West Ham 2-0 Norwich, Yarmolenko.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 3-0 Brighton, Aguero with his second.

Come on Burnley. :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fabinho hammers it, goes miles away.

[Master Splinter]

You can see United and Chelsea's seasons being handwaved away no matter how poorly they do.

Ole and Lamps are seen as good lads and are mates with most of the ex-player mafia that pollute the airwaves.

The utter mismanagement of the clubs as a whole and any individual failings will be put down to "transition".

The most important thing is that Arsenal need a leader though. And they always try to walk it in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wood shot saved from Adrian.

UEFA's Player of the Year asleep.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Salah whacks the post!

[Letters]

https://streamja.com/OJjO

Good finish but really piss poor defending.
Arsenalesque

[Letters]

Chelsea 2-2 Sheffield United, FT!!!

Wilder. :bow:

Lampsy. :haha:

Did a number selling David Luiz to us. :haha:

9 goals conceded in four games. :doh:

Chelsea :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Come on Burnley. :sick:

LOL @ Liverpool if they lose.

LOL @ Dyche and his trogs if Burnley get battered.

Win-win IMO.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robertson. :lol:

Poor man's Tierney IMHO.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Salah nearly bobbles it in but bobbles wide this time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Awful pass from Salah.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 AA flukes it in.

[Master Splinter]

Pope should be defrocked for that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 Mane.

Mee trying to play football. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

So LOL @ Burnley it is.

Mee for England!

Although playing like a pubber consistently or not playing at all seems to be a prerequisite for half the England squad.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barnes for England. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Burnley 0-2 Liverpool, HT.

Dyche. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Barnes for England. :bow:

Probably better than Rashford, tbf.

[Mac76]

Someone just called 606 and said Dyke should be Moan U manager :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

First one has been given as a Wood OG. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Burnley. :lol:

Getting ready for the Rugby World Cup.

:popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-3 FT.

Dyche. :haha:

[Letters]

Yawn.

Let’s just let City and Liverpool play their two head to head games now and decide the title that way

[McNamara That Ghost...]

MotD is on now. Lineker and Cahill in the studio, VAR as the concept is sure to get a kicking, rather than the incompetents actually using it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Laporte really did a number on himself though shouldnt't have avoided the Xhaka ruling.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cahill somehow manages to make anything sound sinister.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Honest Frank's bunch of chumps is on now. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Abraham makes the game safe against newly promoted Sheffield United, at home. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good build-up for Robinson's goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zouma powers it home! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-2 FT. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tielemans. :lol:

Destroyer of VAR.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Just a yellow says MotD. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The Grealish incident is a weird one but then he did clatter in to Cahill in falling down.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lineker calls Grealish 'Tim Cahill'. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ole. :lol:

More words to inspire.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great scramble in the Newcastle v Watford game. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's programme starts in a few minutes, Mourinho and Souness in the studio. Redknapp and Sol are at the Emirates.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

On the NLD - both teams would take a draw. :lol:

It might end up a draw but it'll be a bonkers game like it normally is.

Me. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pickford denies Cutrone. Bonkers match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cutrone shoots way wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Souness questioning Kean's off-field activities as it doesn't make sense for Juventus to sell him.

:blink:

How can he be so clueless?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shot from Jimenez, straight at Pickford.

[Globalgunner]

Souness questioning Kean's off-field activities as it doesn't make sense for Juventus to sell him.

:blink:

How can he be so clueless?

No. He really is that dumb

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neverton 2-2 Wolves, Jimenez!

Though he has ruined his face in the process.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton 3-2 Wolves, Richarlison with his second!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Rui Patricio to deny Richarlison his hat-trick.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Five added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Boly sent off!

[McNamara That Ghost...]
