Mid table six pointer!

And come on you Sp...no, no can’t do it.

[dazthegooner]

Would only accept a S*** win if we beat Palace.

[Marc Overmars]

Liverpool need to lose ASAP.

So yes, come on Spuds. :sick:

[Niall_Quinn]

Liverpool need to lose ASAP.

So yes, come on Spuds. :sick:

Spuds + Maureen. I don't think so.

[Marc Overmars]

Spuds will still balls it up enough times for us to stay within reach.

Until Liverpool lose - come on whoever they’re against tbh.

[GP]

For one night only, Spurs must win.

[I am invisible]

Tbh, I'm less fussed about them beating the 49 game unbeaten run than I am them matching the unbeaten season - feels like the less impressive of the two achievements, given that you get a nice long summer break in the middle of the run, and have the chance to strengthen / refresh your squad.

Agree, but I don't want them doing either.
COYS :sick:

[Mac76]

spuds won't win it and there's other teams that we can back to do it - including us...

plus given his insistence on 61,000 seats at their new toilet bowl, Levy is probably telling the players to throw the match as we speak...

[I am invisible]

Can we legally change t*******m's name to Liverpool before they play?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Laugh at the loser for this one.

[I am invisible]

I am kind of looking forward to the epic Mourinho tantrum if / when he loses this one - you know how he gets when the transfer window is open...

[dostoy]

I'm a massive Liverpool fan this week, I cannot understand any Arsenal fan wanting a Spurs win.

I hope its 10-0 to Liverpool.

[Niall_Quinn]

Burnley and Norwich are my joint second favourite teams this week.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Burnley won't do anything.

Totally useless against the top sides away from home.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

VAR doesn't award a pel for Everton. Stonewall according to Champagne Charlie.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wolves 0-1 Newcastle, Almiron.

Top scorer next season. :bow:

[Niall_Quinn]

Lester 1-0 Soton

[Niall_Quinn]

Wolves 1-1 Newcastle, Dendoncker.

How did you get that score so fast?

Very fucking suspicious.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

VAR review for a Burnley goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

Burnley score against the chavs but their linesman saves them. No goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No goal for Burnley.

Leicester 1-1 Southampton, Armstrong.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How did you get that score so fast?

Very fucking suspicious.

That one is actually a bit behind. Fed the cat and went for a piss (not linked) before posting that one.

[Niall_Quinn]

Lester 1-1 Soton

[Niall_Quinn]

That one is actually a bit behind. Fed the cat and went for a piss (not linked) before posting that one.

And then took the piss when you got back.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Chelsea.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 1-0 Burnley, Jorginho.

[Niall_Quinn]

Willian doing his thing.

Football's fair and balanced.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 1-0 Norwich, Rashford.

[Niall_Quinn]

I think Xhaka got booked during all of that.

[Niall_Quinn]

Another Newcastle player pulling a sickie. That's 2 more injured now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Vardy, offside.

[Niall_Quinn]

Rodgers. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How has Firmino and Ox not scoreed?

Tanganga off the line to deny Firmino, not sure what happened afterwards.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's a hamstring injury FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lucas Moura drags his shot wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Son, way wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robertson hammers it out of play.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Handball by Dele Alli, shot was miles over anyway.

Utter hoofball by Spuds.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AA belts it out of play.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Van Dijk header straight at Gazzaniga.

Choice of two other potential goalscorers behind him.

Bus broke down.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ox booked.

Mourinho with damage limitation.

[GP]

Ffs useless spud cunts

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aurier hammers it, straight at Alisson.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Firmino combs it but easy enough for Gazzaniga.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Son shot, deflects behind.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mane embarrassed Tanganga there as much as Firmino did.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Red card tackle from Robertson?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Has to be a red for Robertson, surely?

No. Apparently not. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rose off, Lamela on.

Eriksen off to boos. :haha:

Lo Celso on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Son, what a miss!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

From BBC live text:
How is that not a red for Robertson when it was for Auba in the early game???

Anonymous

Anon. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mane off, Origi on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a ball from Aurier, what a miss from Lo Celso.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robertson with a little kick on Alderweireld.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Origi with some amazing footwork. Saved ultimately though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Salah off. Shaqiri on.

[Master Splinter]

Roberston is a nasty little shit. He does this every game.

That should be 1.5 red cards now, but when you're good you're apparently allowed to cunt around at will. Or if you're playing Arsenal.

I'm making excuses for Spurs though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 0-1 Liverpool, FT.

Mourinho. :haha:

His fourth defeat with the Spuds already. No win in four.

Only 2 points ahead of us now. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd at home next for Liverpool.

[Master Splinter]

Spuds should have got a point.

For once they weren't the dirtiest team on the pitch.

Referees free to wildly influence results with abandon in this country where entertainment, drama and obfuscation is more important than any semblance of fair sport.

[AFC Leveller]

Liverpool are just so good. They ride their luck at times, and today Spurs went really close but Liverpool are a machine.

Robertson is a nasty scrote who does this every game and gets away with it more often than not.

[Master Splinter]

Man Utd at home next for Liverpool.

I'm not sure even prime Rooney and Scholes getting away with murder because they're the ref's best friends would cancel out the league's fervour for Liverpool glory.

[Marc Overmars]

Go away Liverpool.

[AFC Leveller]

They still have some tough-ish looking games like Wolves away and their 50th league game is at City. Would be great if Citeh can beat them and preserve our record.

[Marc Overmars]

Made a total mockery of the idea they’d tire around Christmas and the Club World Cup travels would see them slip up.

It’s going to be an even more comprehensive title win than City 17/18. I just hope they bloody lose so we can still have our little nugget of joy.

[dazthegooner]

Would be typical for the scousers to nick it... ;)

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

What do you lot 'prefer', the unbeaten season or the 49 games?

[dazthegooner]

Prefer the unbeaten season.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bournemouth: Travers, Francis, S Cook, Ake, Smith, Lerma, Gosling, H Wilson, Fraser, C Wilson, Solanke.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bournemouth 0-1 Watford, Doucoure.

Howe. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bournemouth 0-2 Watford, Deeney.

[dazthegooner]

Didn’t people want him to manage us?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aston Villa: Nyland, Konsa, Hause, Mings, Elmohamady, Drinkwater, Douglas Luiz, Hourihane, Taylor, Grealish, El Ghazi.
Subs: Chester, Lansbury, Nakamba, Trezeguet, Guilbert, Kalinic, Vassilev.

Manchester City: Ederson, Rodri, Fernandinho, Stones, Joao Cancelo, De Bruyne, Silva, Mendy, Mahrez, Aguero, Gabriel Jesus.
Subs: Bravo, Walker, Sterling, Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, Otamendi, Foden.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne boots it out of play for some reason.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dive from Aguero.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa 0-1 Citeh, Mahrez.

Great goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rodri. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa 0-2 Citeh, Mahrez.

Embarrassing from Drinkwater.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa 0-3 Citeh, Aguero hammers it in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa fans off home. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh fans thought David Silva's freekick was in. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-4 Jesus, ridiculous ball in from De Bruyne.

[Globalgunner]

At this point I`d be going home too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Douglas Luiz gives Rodri a good kicking.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fernandinho actually got a booking. :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Grealish and Aguero both going at it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fernandinho gets elbowed by El Ghazi.

El Ghazi booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa 0-5 Citeh, Aguero with his second.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

All made funnier with Big Man on the coaching team.

Marvelous Nakamba on for Douglas Luiz.

Fernandinho off for Otamendi.

De Bruyne off for Foden.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rodri off, Gundogan on.

Hourihane off, Trezeguet on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Foden. :haha:

Shot went for a throw-in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa 0-6 Citeh, Aguero hat-trick.

[Globalgunner]

On many a planet Aguero would be the best player ever. He is absolutely deadly in the box. Jesus cant yet match him for composure

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pel to Villa. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-6, El Ghazi with the comeback goal.

[Letters]

What do you lot 'prefer', the unbeaten season or the 49 games?

Unbeaten season.
It’s pretty remarkable to go through a whole season and not slip up once,
I guess why we’re the only team to do it. The test for you will be after you’ve wrapped up the title.
That’s when the focus could go, especially if you’re still in the CL.
We nearly messed it up at Portsmouth after we’d won the title in 2004.
We drew 1-1 and they had a chance in the last 10 minutes which they hit straight at Lehman. Either side and there goes the record.
