[GP]

Worst PL side ever?

What has happened to them? They used to be pretty good.

Did they?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Worst PL side ever?

What has happened to them? They used to be pretty good.

Randy Lerner got bored of spending any money, sold their best players and signed utter crap.

[Letters]

Randy Lerner got bored of spending any money, sold their best players and signed utter crap.

That'll do it!

[Marc Overmars]

They've been flirting with relegation for years now. Bound to run out of luck.

[Master Splinter]

Worst PL side ever?

What has happened to them? They used to be pretty good.

MON did a Crooknapp on them.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Abdi goes for it, over it goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kolarov driving strike, way wide really.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deeney nearly in, should have done something with it.

Man City clowning around at the back again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brilliant from Ighalo, Hart saves!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne shoots, Gomes saves which just loops over Aguero thankfully.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Back to the pattern of the first half with Citeh all over the place at the beginning.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Watford 1-0 Man City, KOLAROV OG!!!

:haha:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Our three nil win there earlier in the season is increasingly looking like such a great win.


Come on Arsenal ..... we can't fuck the league up now!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nyom trying to score but Gomes denies him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sterling hauled off for Jesus Navas.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

City turning to Jesus.

Christmas is over lads.

[Keith]

City turning to Jesus.

Christmas is over lads.



Hopefully their title bid will be dead by Easter Monday too

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Holebas. :lol:

Ighalo deflects it wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fernandinho goes down, huge appeal, nothing given.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for Yaya, over it goes!

[Master Splinter]

Yaya :haha:.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Toure blazes over :lol:

Should have buried that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good play between De Bruyne and David Silva, Gomes saves.

[Master Splinter]

Bony getting ready to slot into the Watford backline.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mangala hauled off, Bony on.

LDG :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Watford 1-2 Citeh, Aguero.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Oh cock!!

[Master Splinter]

Sagan's first good cross of the season.

Watford :doh:.

[Marc Overmars]

:rolleyes:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

There's still 5 mins for Mangala to score an equaliser.

[LDG]

LDG :doh:

Why was that my fault? :lol:

[Master Splinter]

There's still 5 mins for Mangala to score an equaliser.

He's gone off. :(

[Kano]

Why was that my fault? :lol:

And we've just lost the title. Cheers mate.

[Ernesto]

Man City still look shit tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for Ighalo but straight at Hart!

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Igalho straight at Hart.


Today of all days he decides to be shit. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four added minutes.

[LDG]

And we've just lost the title. Cheers mate.

If only you'd not returned to the forum. We'd have won it mid season:

You CUNT!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Watford 1-2 Citeh, FT.

[Master Splinter]

Watford :doh:.

LDG :doh:.

[GP]

LDG :doh:

[The Emirates Gallactico]

LDG :doh:


Quite possibly worse than Hitler.

[LDG]

Watford will win this one for sure/

[LDG]

LDG :doh:

You loved it. Don't pretend.

[Marc Overmars]

Apparently today was the first time since September where United have had more than 3 shots on target in a home game. :lol:

Shite.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

MotD is on at 22:30.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shearer and Le Saux in the studio.

Watford - Citeh up first.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Brunye? :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Van Aanholt's goal. :lol:

Richards OG I am sure.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gil's goal. :blink:

That was stunning.

Traore. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dreadful defending for Defoe's goal.

Lescott. :haha:

Mug.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bacuna and Guzan. :haha:

Shocking.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We're on. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The "so-called bigger sides".

Saying that annoys me.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cech. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kos. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why Ramsey, why?

[Marc Overmars]

Why Ramsey, why?

Hollywoods gonna Hollywood.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wazza knew he was missing that header. :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hollywoods gonna Hollywood.

https://sr1.cdn.speedyrails.net/images/reviews/53964/hollywood_hogan_hulk-fp-fa1d38a1d63e970f6b8edf61e30691be.jpg

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chaos in Man Utd's area.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Clever finish from Wazza tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fabianski's header so close!

If only...

[Niall_Quinn]

Van Genius has been humbled and forced to change the way he's setting up the team. Two conventional strikers worked well for them today.

[Kano]

I've spent a lot of time defending Klopp's record recently but it is fucking hilarious watching him flounder week after week at Liverpool recently. Big summer - yet again - coming up for the club.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

MotD:

Wanyama. :doh:

Idiot.

Morgan's miss. :haha:

Mahrez's pelanty was poor.

Also first item on Sunday Supplement:

Wayne Rooney, is he a great? And does he get a hard time from the media?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now why are British managers being overlooked for the top jobs? :sleep:

Pulis, Pardew for the top four clubs. :sleep:

I must have missed who the last two managers for Man Utd and Liverpool were.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wayne Rooney, is he a great? And does he get a hard time from the media?

When is he winning the Word Cup for England again? And who will they fixate on when he retires from Internationals? Sports journo - has to be one of the best and easiest jobs going.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They will fixate on Wayne Rooney when he retires - should he come back if England need him? England miss Wayne, England miss Rooney. England miss Wayne Rooney. Who will be the next Wayne Rooney? Should Wayne Rooney be the next Wayne Rooney?

Also, surely not even Neverton can lose three home games in a row?

[Marc Overmars]

This country needs to get over Wazza. Though it pains me to say it, the England team should be geared around Kane.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky's programme for the the Champions-elect starts now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carragher and Souness are in the studio.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Psychological blow for Arsenal. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Souness assumes Wazza has been looking after himself. :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crystal Palace: Hennessey; Ward, Dann, Delaney, Souare; Lee, Jedinak, McArthur, Puncheon; Zaha; Campbell.
Subs: McCarthy, Kelly, Ledley, Mutch, J Williams, Sako, Chamakh.

Chelsea: Courtois; Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry, Azpilicueta; Mikel, Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Diego Costa.
Subs: Begovic, Baba, Matic, Loftus-Cheek, Ramires, Traore, Pedro.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ward boots it out of play.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zaha shoots, not far wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hazard shot, deflects behind.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Delaney booked. Pleading with the ref. :lol:

Blatant yellow - tackle from behind, took Diego Costa out.

[Marc Overmars]

Delaney booked. Pleading with the ref. :lol:

Blatant yellow - tackle from behind, took Diego Costa out.

Sounds like he should receive a round of applause rather than a yellow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mikel with a similarly blatant yellow but no booking. :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hazard injured, or just doesn't want to play an away game again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hazard hauled off, Pedro on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zouma with a great tackle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Campbelll. :haha:

What an idiot.

[GP]

Looks a bit wet out there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Palace 0-1 Chelsea, Oscar tap-in.

Delaney. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hennessey saves from Azpilicueta.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Courtois flapping.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 HT.

[GP]

Shut up Carragher.

'Brilliant from Costa'

It was a square ball for a tap in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible shot from Zaha.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Palace 0-2 Chelsea, Willian flukes one in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Palace 0-3 Chelsea, Diego Costa pubbed tap-in.

Good work Pardiola.

Chelsea for the title!

[Ernesto]

Chelsea's players proving yet again what disgraceful mercenaries they truly are.

[Kano]

Fuck sake.

LDG :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alan Parry is already on it.

"No telling where they will end up". :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dann booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lee off, Williams on. :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lennon starting instead of Deulofeu. :sarcy:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton: Howard; Coleman, Stones, Funes Mori, Baines; Barry, Cleverley; Lennon, Barkley, Kone; Lukaku.
Subs: Vorm, Rose, Trippier, Bentaleb, Chadli, Onomah, Son.

Tottenham: Lloris; Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies; Carroll, Dier; Lamela, Alli, Eriksen; Kane.
Subs: Joel, Jagielka, Mirallas, Besic, Deulofeu, Osman, Galloway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Costa sends one sky high.

Oscar off, Matic on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deck him McArthur!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chakma. :haha:

Palace 0-3 Chelsea, FT.

Pardiola. :doh:

[Master Splinter]

Palace were without an entire front line in Gayle, Bolasie and Sako. And of course Kebab too. And Wickham, who's shit but does a job sometimes.

But yes, Chelsea are BACK!

[Master Splinter]

Lennon starting instead of Deulofeu. :sarcy:

Martinez :doh:.

Even Mirallas would be a better option. It's all on Lukaku.

Come on Neverton you morans.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martin Tyler dropping a hip, fresh, contemporary music reference.

Wet, wet, wet.

:doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Carroll ruins an otherwise good attack.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kane smacks the post but doesn't go in!

I thought for sure that was going in off the post.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barry gives Eriksen a good kicking.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lamela freekick, hits the wall.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton 1-0 Spuds, LENNON!!!!

:haha:

[Master Splinter]

LENNON!!!

Martinez :bow:.

[GP]

Lennon starting instead of Deulofeu. :sarcy:

LDG :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coleman got out of trouble but then gave it away. Nothing came from it though.

[Master Splinter]

What was Coleman doing?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Davies smashes the bar!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coleman booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coney. :rolleyes:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Coney way offside, poor.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Horrible fall for Coleman after standing on a steward!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 Delle Alli.

Neverton. :doh:

[Master Splinter]

Spuds have been the better team, but Everton just had three good opportunities before the equaliser, but messed up the final pass each time.

Barkley especially is just brainless.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 HT. Neverton. :lol:

Three defeats at home in a row it will be.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fuck off Winter.

[Marc Overmars]

Neverton are the most overrated team in the league. Sure they can be tricky on their day but they just don't ever seem to find any sort of consistency to actually become a tangible threat as far as the table is concerned.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barkley. :haha:

Greedy and woeful.

[Master Splinter]

Barkley is beyond stupid and greedier than Stevie Me.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lennon back to reality.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor challenge from Kane. Somehow no booking.

[Master Splinter]

Why is that not a booking?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kane nearly in but well covered in the end.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why is that not a booking?

I think the refs heard of MO's plan to make him the England star a la Wazza.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eriksen shot, straight at Howard.

[dostoy]

Come on Everton.

I hope you win.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lennon and Coney hauled off, Deulofeu and Besic on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deulofeu screaming when touched already. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Lloris being shit again.

It's so rare that it happens several times in each match.

[Master Splinter]

Spurs are the new Chelsea in terms of fouling.

They're also the new Chelsea in terms of avoiding bookings.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Deulofeu with the cross, just a bit too high for Lukaku according to Tyler - looked the perfect height to me and was just a poor miss.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barry is a clown.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lamela booked. :faint:

Isn't that a red though?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eriksen off, Son on.

[Master Splinter]

Lamela is an absolute David Silva-level scrote.

Arteta sent off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Blatant booking for Carroll.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Andy Carroll has a physique?

[Globalgunner]

Barry is a clown.

An ancient one too. Was above average 8 seasons ago at Villa. been downward since, but seems no-one has cottoned on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Delle Alli smacks it, Howard save it ISS-style.

Good closing down from Everton too...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good volley from Besic, Lloris Hollywoods it over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Funes Mori heads wide. :doh:

[Master Splinter]

Funes Moran :doh:.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barkley. :haha:

Shite.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Delle Alli off, Chadli on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lloris nearly fucking it up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cleverley's pass. :lol:

Lamela off, Onomah on. :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lukaku. :haha:

Hold it up FFS.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lloris saves from Barkley.

Everton 1-1 Spuds, FT.

That'll do.

[Master Splinter]

Lukaku was frustrated by the pubbers surrounding him.

Time for him to come home tbh.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dele Alli for England already.

:rolleyes:

Just let him play for his club!

[LDG]

Fuck sake.

LDG :doh:

:lol:
