£74.75 extra to watch all games this gameweek away from 'other' means. That's more than the sports packages for a month isn't it? Fuck that.

Intentionally not posted about where the other games are available PPV as I don't agree with it.

[Mac76]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton 0-1 Liverpool, Mane!

He's so good.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pickford with an awful challenge on Van Dijk.

Pelanty?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Luckily there was an offside, Pickford is such a clown.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I get it not being a penalty, but how does offside stop it being a red card? :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yeah I don't get that, unless with it being a 'dead' situation it's solely at the referee's discretion.

Clearly a red though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Van Dijk off injured, Gomez on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Weak shot from Calvert-Lewin.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Better shot this time but near post and Adrian wasn't going to concede from there.

Has now though.

Everton 1-1 Liverpool, Keane!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Weak shot from Salah.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pickford saves from AA.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coleman off injured, Godfrey on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a miss from Mane!

Should be making the target.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rodriguez booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fabinho. :haha:

[Globalgunner]

Calvert-Lewin. WTF!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Calvert-Lewin fluffer. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Robertson at it again, will probably get away with it again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Richarlison hits the post!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

James combs it but Adrian saves it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Andre Gomes booked.

Now getting shirty with Henderson. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton 1-2 Liverpool, Salah!

:blink:

Some strike.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mina. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Pickford to deny Matip.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Firmino off, Jota on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Salah smacks another one, Pickford flaps a save.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton 2-2 Liverpool, Calvert-Lewin! :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Save from Pickford.

Mane makes a clearance to stop Jota scoring.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Allan booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Richarlison sent off!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's a horrific challenge on Thiago.

[Niall_Quinn]

"It's an awful challenge - I have to turn away from it."

Not as bad as the one against us, was it?

What's the rule? Is it based on what happens or who's playing?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fabinho off, Wijnaldum on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jota takes Mane out.

Everton 2-3 Liverpool, Henderson! Pickford chucks it in. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

VAR disallows it for offside. :lol:

Pickford is so lucky.

[Niall_Quinn]

Offside? :haha:

That's a whole pile of shit. It must have been his personality that was slightly offside.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No idea how that was offside. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton 2-2 Liverpool, FT.

Bonkers game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton: McCarthy, Walker-Peters, Vestegaard, Bednarek, Bertrand, Romeu, Ward-Prowse, Redmond, Adams, Walcott, Ings.
Subs: Forster, Stephens, Long, Obafemi, Valery, Tella, Diallo.

[Globalgunner]

Good double save from the Saints keeper McCarthy.

What happened to the shiny new keeper Chelsea just bought?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He ded.

[Globalgunner]

Really good goal that by Werner.
On paper this is a really good Chelsea team

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Of course he scores, I'm not watching it. :lol:

[Globalgunner]

Of course he scores, I'm not watching it. :lol:

I'll keep you updated

[Globalgunner]

Southampton defence is apparently made up of invisible men. 6 of them couldn't block a single sneeze.
Werner scores again. Easy peasy

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea should run through most sides at home really.

[Globalgunner]

McCarthy saves from Zouma. Prevents this from being a half hour blowout

[I am invisible]

I just don’t know about Chelsea - I’m not sure they’re anything more than flat-track bullies under honest Frank?

[Globalgunner]

The weak link is the manager for sure.
Southampton suddenly remember they are not a bunch of schoolgirls. Score through Ings
2-1

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ings. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The weak link is the manager for sure.
Southampton suddenly remember they are not a bunch of schoolgirls. Score through Ings
2-1

Manager and their defence. Their defence is mid table really.

[Globalgunner]

Manager and their defence. Their defence is mid table really.

You're right. Azipulcueta Zouma and Christensen are not what Trophies are built on. Then they have a person killer at LB.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

:haha:

WTF is Kepa doing?!

2-2 Adams. Clusterfuck doesn't even describe that goal.

https://streamja.com/VZAoR


Now 3-2 Havertz :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The league is fucking nuts.

[Master Splinter]

Arteta making us boring as fuck seems like a wise decision in this ridiculous league.

[Globalgunner]

:haha:

WTF is Kepa doing?!

2-2 Adams. Clusterfuck doesn't even describe that goal.

https://streamja.com/VZAoR


Now 3-2 Havertz :blink:

Only thing Kepa did right there was to not get sent off

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BBC live text:


The first change brings a debut for Hakim Ziyech. Lot of high hopes for this kid.

He's 27. :blink:

[Globalgunner]

BBC live text:



He's 27. :blink:

The Beeb is 150 years old. Everybody is a kid to them.

[I am invisible]

The league is fucking nuts.
Yeah, it’s all gone a bit Sunday league, hasn’t it?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 3-3 Southampton, VESTERGAARD!!!

:haha:

[Master Splinter]

Theo :bow: :bow:.

[Globalgunner]

Westergaard stoops to conquer. The guy is almost 7ft tall

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 3-3 Southampton, FT. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's putting the trust in Richard Keys but BEIN Sports are saying Van Dijk has done his ACL.

Well, Pickford done his ACL more accurately.

[Niall_Quinn]

It's putting the trust in Richard Keys but BEIN Sports are saying Van Dijk has done his ACL.

Well, Pickford done his ACL more accurately.

That'll cost them the title if true.

Dunk sent off also.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 3-0 West Ham, Son and Kane with two.

[Letters]

Told ya about Spurs.
They had a good transfer window and could be pretty decent this season.
Hopefully Mourinho will alienate some of the squad as he usually does.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How has Fornals missed? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bergwijn off, Old Man Bale on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kane whacks the post.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It is an ACL for Van Dijk.

[Globalgunner]

Im loving it:ladynana:

[Globalgunner]

:haha:

Letters with another early conclusion. Spuds are always gonna Spud. Its Tottenham's history, to quote a certain Italian

[Slacker]

Wow! I've won a bet Kane to get 2 and more than 5 goals but only about £15.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Get those first 81 minutes recorded to DVD!

https://youtu.be/ztD_o_n5u6Q

Lovely, made my weekend :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

West Ham have scored 10 against Wolves, Leicester and Spuds to take points off them.

And kindly lost to us. :bow:

[Letters]

Oh the Iron-y :d

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mourinho. :haha:

Must have alienated his players mid-match.

[Letters]

:lol:

3-0 up after 82 minutes :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bale is 6ft 4 according to Souness.

Good touch for a big lad.

[Marc Overmars]

Nuts how many goals are flying in this season.

[Mac76]

Also our women's team beat Spuds 6-1 :haha:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Here’s hoping Bale beats his previous record when joining the Spufs.

[Munchies]

Spurs :haha:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Excellent point, well made.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leicester 0-1 Villa, Barkley.

Rodgers. :lol:

[LDG]

Bale wishes he was playing a round of golf today

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leicester 0-1 Villa, FT.

Four out of four for them. :lol:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Another clean sheet for Villa.

A great piece of business by us.

[GP]

Another clean sheet for Villa.

A great piece of business by us.

Arsenal have conceded the 2nd fewest goals in the league, having already played at Anfield and Etihad.

Weird, innit?

[Xhaka Can’t]

Arsenal have conceded the 2nd fewest goals in the league, having already played at Anfield and Etihad.

Weird, innit?
Shocked by that.

But I really wish we had kept Martinez.

[GP]

You can have 20m on the bench or you can have Partey.

[Mac76]

You can have 20m on the bench or you can have Partey.

We could have probably got the same from Villa for Leno

[GP]

We could have probably got the same from Villa for Leno

Probably not though, considering the difference in wages. And why would Leno want to go to Villa?

[Mac76]

If we told him Martinez was no 1, which is what we should have done

[Xhaka Can’t]

You can have 20m on the bench or you can have Partey.

I get your point.

I'd rather have Martinez over Leno. Martinez finally got his opportunity and he did well enough to establish himself as our No. 1.

It is such a waste - in a couple of years time, Villa will be selling him for 50-60m. And it'll probably be to Chelsea, United or Liverpool.

[Xhaka Can’t]

MOTD started off unbelievably shit, but quickly got really enjoyable.

No 30-year-old keeper is going for 60m.

This is why one Sky+’s it and skips to the good stuff :cool:

[Xhaka Can’t]

No 30-year-old keeper is going for 60m.

Short termism is all the rage these days.

No keeper should, and I’m not say in it will happen, but it could.

All in all, I’m happy Martinez found a starting role. He worked for it and he still wants to do all the right things for the love of playing.

Just wish it was with us, because he worked for it and earned it.

i think we'd have got a good price for Leno, but even if we'd got 5-10m less for Leno than Martinez it wouldn't have stopped anything - let's face it it's pretty obvious that the Kroenkes were always going to make Partey happen

we've let a massive asset go who would have had far greater value to us if we'd kept him and made him No 1

goals prevented = points gained = more revenue for higher league position plus maybe CL

[Mac76]

Was too short a run to know if Martinez is going to maintain this form and become a genuinely top keeper. But I also think Leno has been here long enough to show he'll only ever be an average keeper. Too many flaws that show no signs of being corrected. Hard decision, and if Leno doesn't want to leave but Martinez does, that's going to end up being the major factor. Gut tells me Martinez would have saved us a few points whereas Leno will cost us a few points.

[Marc Overmars]

I think it's our forwards who will be costing us more points over the course of the season. Though I do accept Leno does have a habit of beating shots away which can end up in danger zones. Happy to see Martinez doing well but won't be concerning myself with what he's doing unless Villa keep this up for the rest of the season.

[Letters]

Excellent Spurs trolling
