This Weekend's Fixtures (24/25 Oct).

[Niall_Quinn]

Does anyone know if Rooney is playing?

MOTM for me.

[Master Splinter]

MOTM for me.

People still question him :doh:.

[Niall_Quinn]

People still question him :doh:.

Those idiots insist on watching the match instead of reading the media :haha:

[Munchies]

Which team looks most likely to get Chelsea's top 4 place?

Spurs??

[Master Splinter]

How many times has Shrek lost the ball?

I shouldn't question his inclusion though tbf.

[Niall_Quinn]

Which team looks most likely to get Chelsea's top 4 place?

Spurs??

West Ham. I rate Bilic. Slim chance but possible.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Which team looks most likely to get Chelsea's top 4 place?

Spurs??

Only until we buy Hummels, Reus and Aubameyang.

[Niall_Quinn]

How many times has Shrek lost the ball?

I shouldn't question his inclusion though tbf.

:doh:

You're still questioning him? What's the matter with you?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

De Bruyne a bit shit so far.

50 million ......... knicking a living I'll say.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bournemouth 1-3 Spuds, Lamela.

Bournemouth. :rose:

[Niall_Quinn]

Unfortunately I think Martial is a special player. He's so composed for his age. Not setting the world on fire yet but he has all the tools to progress.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bournemouth 1-3 Spuds, Lamela.

Bournemouth. :rose:

If you have nothing positive to say then maybe say nothing at all.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

There's no need to be mean.

Jones gives Citeh a corner for some reason.

[Munchies]

If you have nothing positive to say then maybe say nothing at all.

:gp:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Don't criticise Rooney, he knew the blade of grass he was positioning that towards.

[Master Splinter]

Shrek with a fine-cross field pass to the crowd in the corner.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

: "It's a proper match"
: "Yeah".

What does that mean?

[Globalgunner]

Sterling breaking up City play time after time

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wazza. :haha:

Utter bollocks.

[Niall_Quinn]

Shrek with a fine-cross field pass to the crowd in the corner.

Very few playa could do that. If he can do this for Engurlund in the Euros then it's fairly certain we'll win it.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Honestly in terms of technical ability we're above these two.

Haven't seen anyone today display anything close to the ability of a Santi or Ozil.

[Master Splinter]

Sterling breaking up City play time after time

He's incredibly crap at the moment. Just brainless. Like most English players.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thought Yaya's header was drifting in but no.

[Niall_Quinn]

He's incredibly crap at the moment. Just brainless. Like most English players.

I think you've forgotten he went for £50mill. Therefore world class by default.

[Niall_Quinn]

Honestly in terms of technical ability we're above these two.

Haven't seen anyone today display anything close to the ability of a Santi or Ozil.

Our team is #1, little doubt about that. Our squad? Still a bit weak.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yaya. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Yaya :haha:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Idiotic from Kompany, Martial was going nowhere.

Booked.

[Niall_Quinn]

Captain Courageous booked for a pubber challenge.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT. Bit crap really.

[Niall_Quinn]

0-0 HT. Bit crap really.

Bit?

Very

[The Emirates Gallactico]

0-0 HT. Bit crap really.

Despite all the money spunked by two it's devoid of much real quality. Poor passes, no intelligence, no ability to retain possession etc.

You can see why the Bundesliga and La Liga laugh at the PL.

[Niall_Quinn]

I'm going to float a conspiracy theory - so it's fine to laugh at me.

Rooney is crap. Discuss.

[AFC Leveller]

I'm going to float a conspiracy theory - so it's fine to laugh at me.

Rooney is crap. Discuss.

He makes others around him play better.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

He makes others around him play better.

Yeah and those players being the opposition.

[Kano]

At least Utd haven't dragged this down to the depths of that first 45 against Liverpool. Yet.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No attempt on goal from Man Utd. :wacko:

[Globalgunner]

No attempt on goal from Man Utd. :wacko:

Fellaini will come in to change that stat

[AFC Leveller]

Yeah and those players being the opposition.

:lol:

Its gonna be interesting to see how long van gall will tolerate this though.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Second half starting.

It can't get any worse. Surely?

[AFC Leveller]

Fellaini will come on at some point and turn this into a proper match.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Herrera shot, deflects tamely behind.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd appealing for a pelanty.

Get up Herrera.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Header from Mike Smalling back across goal and just wide it goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sterlng hauled off, Jesus Navas on.

:lol:

[Master Splinter]

Sterling hauled off. Again. :haha:

But he scored 3 tap-ins against Bournemouth!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shut up Tyler.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

49 million well spent.

[LDG]

Sterling hauled off. Again. :haha:

But he scored 3 tap-ins against Bournemouth!

Stop it, some people on here said we should have signed Arron Lennon Mk2

[AFC Leveller]

Clattenburg and Mike Oliver are the best refs in the league IMO, nothing corrupt about them (as far as i can see).

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bournemouth 1-4 Spuds, Kane with his second.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Clattenburg and Mike Oliver are the best refs in the league IMO, nothing corrupt about them (as far as i can see).

Completely agree.

Apart from the whole mistaking Gibbs and The Ox thing a few years ago, I think Andre Marriner isn't too bad as well.

Worst are Mike Dean, Anthony Taylor, Lee Mason and Phil Dowd.

Howard Webb was in that group but thankfully that bald headed twat has retired now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hart did well getting out to Mata.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Shit ball in from Mata.

[AFC Leveller]

Completely agree.

Howard Webb was in that group but thankfully that bald headed twat has retired now.

Definitely agree with that list. Those refs like to make it all about them and they treat the players like a copper would treat a thief.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rojo scrapes his boot on Navas, though it wasn't his face, unlike the reaction given.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mata hauled off, Lingard on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bournemouth 1-5 Spuds, Kane hat-trick.

:lol:

[AFC Leveller]

Rooney isnt having a great game, according to the BBC.

This guy is past it and his hype gets bigger everytime he scores against Macedonia or Estonia.

[Master Splinter]

Boruc has gifted Spurs 3 goals. He is a complete clown.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Definitely agree with that list. Those refs like to make it all about them and they treat the players like a copper would treat a thief.

No one beats Mike Riley though. Blatant corruption every game.

And yet somehow he's now Chief of Referees.


The FA :rose:

Mata hauled off.


But he's better than Ozil!!!!! ******REDCAFE*****

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool: Mignolet, Clyne, Skrtel, Sakho, Moreno, Lucas, Can, Milner, Coutinho, Lallana, Origi.

Southampton: Stekelenburg, Soares, Fonte, van Dijk, Bertrand, Davis, Clasie, Wanyama, Mane, Pelle, Tadic.

[Niall_Quinn]

Completely agree.

You forget Jones. He's bent as hell.

[Niall_Quinn]

The FA :rose:

Mata hauled off.

Poll. He was corrupt but much better at hiding the fact.

[Niall_Quinn]

Loo brush getting ready to come on. It's embarrassing.

[Munchies]

Fuck Riley

Fuckin ****

[The Emirates Gallactico]

You forget Jones. He's bent as hell.

See the thing with Jones is that I don't he's as bent as the others, more that he's incredibly weak and spineless and caves into pressure from players and the crowd.

[Master Splinter]

We think it's bad when Giroud has a poor day, but Bony has shown nothing in his Citeh career to suggest he's even 5% of the threat Aguero is.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Here he comes, it's lump it to Fellaini time!

Schweinsteiger off.

[Niall_Quinn]

See the thing with Jones is that I don't he's as bent as the others, more that he's incredibly weak and spineless and caves into pressure from players and the crowd.

He's so poor he comes across as bent? Definite possibility. Don't much like the strange advantage the gypos get when he refs their games though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yaya hauled off, Demichelis on.

Yaya getting no respect again!

[Niall_Quinn]

The massively overrated Toure off, after failing again in a big game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Woeful freekick from De Bruyne.

[Niall_Quinn]

De Brown :haha:

What sort of a FK was that?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Valencia off injured, Darmian on.

[Niall_Quinn]

I'd be pretty pissed if utd's squad is what we ended up with. Poor, poor, poor, and no chance of winning anything.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jesus Navas shot, easy for De Gea.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bony hauled off, Iheanacho on.

[Globalgunner]

City are only half the same team without Silva, Aguero

[Niall_Quinn]

Shrek :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

City are only half the same team without Silva, Aguero

Take Ozil and Alexis away from us - same result. There are very few genuinely top players now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lingard hits the bar!

[Niall_Quinn]

Watched Lingard in a few games now - seems to be a much better player than their superstars.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hart saves from Smalling.

Lump it up to Fellaini. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Schneiderlin booked.

[Niall_Quinn]

Is De Brownstuff a good playa? Hard to know given his performances.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three added minutes.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fucking hell - Brown Stuff really is shite. He takes his time when he's giving the ball away.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 FT.

What was that?

[Niall_Quinn]

All that money.

Dire, dire, dire and an indictment for this league.

[Niall_Quinn]

Right, so we need to beat the gypos 4-0 and we're top with a better GD. Shouldn't be hard on that performance.

[Globalgunner]

City can play better. United have little room for improvement 0-0

[Globalgunner]

Good news however is that King Kane is back, apparently

[Niall_Quinn]

De Brown - what a waste of money

Toure - myth, a few fluked shots and that's it

Rooney - :haha: :haha: How much longer can the media earn his 300K per week?

[Niall_Quinn]

Good news however is that King Kane is back, apparently

I think you are forgetting he's English.

[Niall_Quinn]

Klopp up next. Can he provide some sport on this day of non-sport?

[Niall_Quinn]

I like Klopp, can't help it.

[Master Splinter]

Come on Southampton!

[Niall_Quinn]

Come on Southampton!

Well of course.

[Niall_Quinn]

Surely players who give the ball away under zero pressure should be killed? How much do they get paid?

[Niall_Quinn]

Can with a hit and hope. Miss.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fuck - how poor is Milner?

[Niall_Quinn]

Not as poor as Lallana, obviously.

[Master Splinter]

Can is an oaf.

[Master Splinter]

Coutinho hit-and-hope #1.

[Niall_Quinn]

25 minutes of absolute shit. tBLitW tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Milner shot, wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Moreno. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

:sleep:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

The thing with "Geggenpressing" is that if you survive the initial barrage of intense pressure you then get the chance you attack against a team that's exhausted after aimlessly running around after the ball.

It's going to get found out and quite quickly I think. I hope Klopp has more tactics then just that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Origi hauled off, Benteke on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Moreno again. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is Moreno doing it on purpose?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Clasie. :lol:

Ironically named.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tadic off, Ward-Prowse on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lallana off, Firmino on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Clasie off, Juanmi on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 1-0 Southampton, Bentekkers.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Davis off, Ramirez on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coutinho off, Ibe on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 1-1 Southampton, MANE!!!!

Oh dear. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That Nivea advert on the hoardings..."Cream of the Klopp".

:doh:

[GP]

"Cream of the Klopp".

:sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelle. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mane sent off. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bentekkers. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 1-1 Southampton, FT.

The draw specialists. :bow:

Still no wins for Klopp.

Chelsea v Liverpool next weekend. A meltdown for someone.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Penguins of Madagascar. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Souness stealing Wenger's analogy about cars and international breaks.

Er.

Plot.

Lost.

Twat.

[Marc Overmars]

I didn't even watch the game but having read most reports, that seems like absolute garbage. Neville. :doh:

[GP]

But, but, but, Neville is such a good pundit!

No, he's a Manc twat.

[Letters]

I've always rated him as a pundit but by all accounts he's talking nonce sense about this.

[Niall_Quinn]

Hopefully the Mancs buy into that Neville shit. The signs are already good. van Genius is too afraid to drop the clapped-out Rooney (who continues to be regarded as a world class striker even though he scores about once every year). As a result their one decent asset up front, Martial, has been relegated to a supporting role. Martial has a whole heap of potential and van Genius is the perfect guy to waste it, so far so good.

[Letters]

I read this morning that Rooney's pass accuracy yesterday was 55% :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

I read this morning that Rooney's pass accuracy yesterday was 55% :lol:

Yeah, they tend to double it so he doesn't look too ridiculous.

[Letters]

£25,000 :lol:

Yeah, that'll show 'em! They won't do that again. :rolleyes:
