[Niall_Quinn]

This is an Arsenalesque, bare minimum effort.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

As it stands:

http://i67.tinypic.com/mb5vzo.png

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nobody better than 'winning fouls' than Hazard, says Neville.

Legitimately praising him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Moses was ready to dive.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hazard dive, naturally.

[Niall_Quinn]

Hazard dive, naturally.

Did he go for technical difficulty or artistic merit?

[Niall_Quinn]

In many ways Azza is a stinking fucking cheat.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Did he go for technical difficulty or artistic merit?

Neither, it was as subtle as my original thread.

[Niall_Quinn]

First team to buy a player who can cross a ball wins it all.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Moses diving again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc shoots, just wide.

[Niall_Quinn]

Great cheating by Moses. Neville likes it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Will the Spuds have anybody to rival Roger Daltrey?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Field booked.

Great pun name.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pedro tried to comb one in but wide it goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Filth from Matic.

[Niall_Quinn]

Footballers are such wimps. Down they go at the slightest touch.

[Niall_Quinn]

Rondon working well with the chav central defenders to clear that one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neville still thinks Hazard should be up there with Ronaldo and Messi. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Costa. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

The one million a week man pubs it 5 miles over the bar.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

[Niall_Quinn]

HT 0-0

BLitWtbf

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton 1-0 Watford, Barkley.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Foster saves from Moses.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Luiz. :lol:

Great effort.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cesc. :lol:

Field off, Yacob on. Pulis going all out filth.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dawson nearly scores an OG, someone cleared it off the line - it was Yacob. :lol:

Foster with the ISS save on Moses.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Neville has awarded Chelsea a goal for some reason.

[Niall_Quinn]

Moses is such a natural cheat. It's effortless.

[Niall_Quinn]

Azzah :haha:

Utterly ridiculous. What a scumbag.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hazard rolling about again, Neville quick to defend him yet again.

[Niall_Quinn]

I know we want the chavs to finish above the spuds and all. But actually watching them and not wanting them all to die is tough going.

[Niall_Quinn]

Azzah :haha:

How is the ref repeatedly buying this? Neville is orgasmic at the quality of the cheating we're seeing here.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yacob nuts Cahill.

McClean hauled off, Chadli on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Cahill's skull caved in and he's died. But he's better now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Diego Costa is dead.

[Niall_Quinn]

Looks like a broken leg and spine for Costa. But he's shaken it off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McAuley off, Wilson on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Brunt penalised for a blatant jump.

[Niall_Quinn]

Holy fuck, Chadli can't even play a straight 5 yard pass.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hazard. :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Chadli :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Messi and Ronaldo's mate clogs it way over the bar.

[Niall_Quinn]

Hard to understand why PL teams aren't making an impact in the CL. Real head scratcher.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rondon just ruined it all, should've dived.

[Niall_Quinn]

Rondon you pubber!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wilson booked. Moses. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chadli you twat!

[Niall_Quinn]

Down goes Moses. Out comes the card.

[Niall_Quinn]

What does Chadli do for a living, I wonder?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hazard hauled off, Willian on.

Neville now saying he's disappointed in Hazard. :haha:

Pedro off for Batshit.

[Niall_Quinn]

Azzah hauled off. Probably for being a diving scumbag cheat. But maybe not.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fucking hell, Wilson has an age, looks up, hoofs it to the nearest opponent.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nyom. :doh:

Any footballers out there?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Batshit.

All from a terrible Cahill shot.

[Niall_Quinn]

Brom working really hard not to get a shot on goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

Pub League Champions :bow:

0-1 dirty chavs

[Niall_Quinn]

Neville correctly identifying the subs as the game changer. When Batshite came on it freed Cahill to hoof it randomly around the pitch looking for key deflections. Genius.

[Niall_Quinn]

Moses off having completed his full program of dives. One of the chavs 926 loanees coming on.

[Niall_Quinn]

A couple of right Nevilles have invaded the pitch. Match stopped.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton 1-0 Watford, FT.

[Niall_Quinn]

One day Neom will do something useful on a football pitch. But not today.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Azpilicueta MotM. :rolleyes:

[Niall_Quinn]

5 added mins.

Rondon with the shot but offside anyway.

[Niall_Quinn]

Azpilicueta MotM. :rolleyes:

Absolutely crazy. WTF?

He should have been sent off.

[Niall_Quinn]

Chadli has done really well in the false footballer role.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 FT. The league defiled by these twats again.

[Niall_Quinn]

One last round of hoof ball. Fans think it's all over. It is now.

Worthy champions. They drank everyone else under the table.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Full Kit Wanker at it again.

[Niall_Quinn]

Cesc - "Football is fucking unbelievable"

Sky shit in their pants and start grovelling for forgiveness.

[Marc Overmars]

:sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea can fuck off now they denied the Spuds.

[Niall_Quinn]

:sick:

It was them or the spuds. A bit like voting in elections really.

[Niall_Quinn]

Chelsea can fuck off now they denied the Spuds.

And die, tbf

[LDG]

Fuck off Spuds

Fuck off Chelsea

Fuck off Cesc

Full kit wanker??

[GP]

My round, same again?

[Letters]

'61, Never Again...

:sick:

[LDG]

My round, same again?

Arsene? :unsure:

[GP]

Nose

[Marc Overmars]

Shame Conte is a decent bloke. A successful Chelsea not being managed by a cunt is just weird.

[AFC Leveller]

Spurs lol

Fuck off Chelsea

Wenger out

[AFC Leveller]

Shame Conte is a decent bloke. A successful Chelsea not being managed by a cunt is just weird.

He won't last there, already talk of him going to Inter.

It must be really tough for Maureen to take! We should give this change of manager a go, doesn't look too bad.

[Ernesto]

What will it take for Chelsea to, for want of a better phrase, die? Will Abramovich ever get bored and bugger off?

I'd say 3 seasons without a trophy could be the magic number (apart from in our case, of course). It might tempt drastic, wholesale changes for the worse.

They've really turned football into crap for me since 2005 :(

[Letters]

Spurs lol

Fuck off Chelsea

Wenger out

:lol:

It's a vanity project for him. Unfortunately because of that he will always ensure that they are successful. Even 1 season without a trophy is usually enough to bring about change there, such are the standards.

I remember a couple of years after Abramovic took over we played them at Highbury and (as we always did back then) beat them and thinking "they'll never by a title".
I was wrong, they've bought plenty. And now so have City.
Money and success in football have always been linked to an extent but in the Sky era it's got increasingly ridiculous.

Football :rose:

PS: Just remembered. I was talking to a Chelsea fan recently and he was bemoaning the way Man Utd have splashed money around recently.
A Chelsea fan moaning about another club spending silly amounts of money in an attempt to buy success... :doh:

[Gooner23]

Even if he were to fuck off there would be another billionaire waiting in the wings.

[selassie]

Some of you guys sound so bitter!

I don't even look at Chelsea as a big spender anymore, sure they splash the cash but they don't spend like the Manchester clubs do, they don't even spend more than we do.

What is difficult to take for me is how they have bounced back from last season, how they were able to retain all their star players then convince other top players to join them. They have ambition, they will not accept second best. It's in total contrast to us and it's one of the reasons why I feel we have literally no chance of winning a title under the current regime because if it's not Chelsea it will be someone else winning the league, it won't be us irrespective of the circumstances.

[Letters]

I am bitter. Bitter about how money and football have been so inextricably linked. Not because it means we're not successful right now - we are one of the haves, with better management we would be successful with our resources. But the sums involved are so obscene, the players are such cheats, the referees are so incompetent and spineless and possibly corrupt. These things were probably always so to an extent but it's got a lot worse in the PL era. So yes, I am bitter about the way football has gone as a sport - well, it's not a sport any more, it's a business and we are now customers, not fans. That's what I'm bitter about. It's not that Chelsea and City have bought success, it's the environment that means that is possible and really the only way to be successful these days.

What Leicester did last year shouldn't be possible in the modern game so that was a ray of hope but they took advantage of a rare season where all the big guns were rebuilding or were Arsenal. This year it's business as normal again.

Fair play Letters, I geniunely feel the same so I completely hear where you are coming from. I do share these same concerns for life in general, global politics, the economy, just general social shit.

[Niall_Quinn]

Anything that adheres to the corporate model is SHIT or eventually turns to SHIT. That's a fundamental truth of humanity when you look honestly. The thing I have realised over the last decade is Arsenal is a far more cynical club than Chelsea. Chelsea is like your barrow boy come good, the suit doesn't quite fit but, by whatever means, he's at the table nonetheless. Arsenal are the suave, smooth, well heeled and well dressed toffs that are offended by the presence of a chav at THEIR perpetually reserved restaurant. The chav has a criminal record FFS! The Arsenal bankers would never commit such despicable acts. That's their stockbroker's job. And their ticket office's.

The chavs are a sustainable club. The chav in chief sustains them out of his own pocket. What has he bought with "his" money? Success. We're a sustainable club too. The fans sustain the few and we've bought ranches and gridiron franchises.

At least the chav in charge turns up and cheers like a fan. I wouldn't eat with any of them, feeling is mutual for sure. But, if I was forced to, at least Abramovich might deign to speak to me, rather than have the butler sternly pass the salt.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bitter about a team I don't like winning something when they didn't have to play in Europe this season? You could say that.

Anyway, Man City v Leicester's programme is on Sky now. Opening up with a Chelsea montage for some reason.

[Niall_Quinn]

Another thing. Wenger should be fucking embarrassed that Conte can waltz in and land a title. Wenger has had years to achieve this. Now he has money too. First Leicester. Now this. All the excuses are gone and what we are left with is a man who is no longer capable of getting the job done.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

NQ and Pardiola are in the studio.

[Niall_Quinn]

NQ and Pardiola are in the studio.

The fake NQ.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man City: Caballero, Fernandinho, Kompany, Otamendi, Clichy, Yaya Toure, De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Sane, Gabriel Jesus.

Leicester: Schmeichel, Simpson, Benalouane, Fuchs, Chilwell, Mahrez, Ndidi, King, Albrighton, Okazaki, Vardy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Going on about Citeh's 2012 title win. :lol:

Totally. We are worse and Wenger has lead the way. I'll keep repeating it, but just remember how Wenger has backed season ticket price hikes despite all the money sloshing around.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I don't like two teams playing in blue against each other.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hit it Clichy you wimp.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man City 1-0 Leicester, David Silva. Absolutely pubbed it in.

Sterling is too shit to have got a touch on that, I thought. It was offside if he did.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It will be quite amusing if that goal does get awarded to Sterling given he was offside.

Football. :lol:

Stupid sport.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Man City, good dive from Sane.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Jesus.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man City 2-1 Leicester, Okazaki!

What a finish.

Kompany. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Albrighton goes for goal of the season, probably will be on another pitch down the road.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chillwell with a ridiculous run. Kompany the scrote hacks him down, booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jesus berating Yaya and on his birthday too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fernandinho should be off, disgusting elbow on Albrighton.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Albrighton's face is a mess. :sick:

How did that happen says the ref?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

King off injured, Amartey on.

[GP]

Fernandinho should be off, disgusting elbow on Albrighton.

From the BBC:


Marc Albrighton's face has just connected with Fernandinho's arm. That's going to hurt.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

His face got in the way of a bent elbow, clumsy Marc.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Leicester!!!!

Clichy. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mahrez hit himself slipping over, it won't count. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

https://streamable.com/oxy41

Fernandinho's arms have a mind of their own.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Albrighton gets his revenge on Fernandinho but booked. :haha:

He's off for Gray.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne off, Zabaleta on.

Aguero came on earlier for Sterling.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hold on, I thought it was announced Zabaleta went off? How was he taking the throw and who went off instead?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yaya Toure MotM. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Amartey is one of the worst players I've seen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Seven added minutes. Funny that, almost like Albrighton was down for a head injury or something.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jesus off, Jesus on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 FT. Man City got away with it again.

A well earned :doh: for Mahrez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Middlesbrough: Guzan, Fabio, Chambers, Gibson, Friend, Clayton, Forshaw, De Roon, Downing, Bamford, Negredo

[AFC Leveller]

"Yes, City scored two and Leicester had a penalty ruled out but for me Spurs were the best today, Kane could have had a hatrick"

Jermaine Jenas.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sky still haven't mentioned Fernandinho's latest assault post-match.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sky still haven't mentioned Fernandinho's latest assault post-match.

Maybe if he changed his name to Xhaka?

[Letters]

Albrighton's face is a mess. :sick:
So's his face.


:unsure:

[Niall_Quinn]

As I said, the officials decide the final placings. The gypos should have been down to 10 (probably down to 3 or 4 if this was one of their typical outings) but the refs and linos have a list of players they persecute and another list for free passes. Not sure how many points this swings per season but it'd be a good few. Same with constant diving. Some teams get the FKs, others don't. Moses yesterday, all he has to do is flop on the ground and the whistle goes. Alexis, meanwhile, will be kicked 20 times in a game and it'll be play on. Dodgy offsides. Penalties. Early yellows for a first foul as opposed to 90th minute yellows for the 936th foul. It all adds up. Now that not many of the players can play that well and the matches are closer, the refs have an even bigger influence. We'd see a strange league table if technology was deployed. Which is one of the key reasons it's not being used I guess. Whether the refs are incompetent, fearful or outright corrupt, they are all cheats. They see shit happening, they know the rules, and they ignore the rules. That's cheating, whatever the motive.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sunderland 0-1 Swansea, Llorente!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bournemouth 1-0 Burnley, Stanislas.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Middlesbrough 0-1 Southampton, Rodriguez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sunderland 0-2 Swansea, Naughton.

Boro 0-2 Southampton, Redmond.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Boro 1-2 Southampton, Bamford.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bournemouth 1-1 Burnley, Vokes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bournemouth 2-1 Burnley, King. :lol:

This guy is ridiculous.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Accidental elbow from Fernandinho says Shearer. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh and Crouch's goal just should've been disallowed, no hint of suggesting he was cheating maybe because they devoted one second to it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Crystal Palace: Hennessey, Ward, Kelly, Tomkins, Schlupp, Cabaye, Milivojevic, Puncheon, Zaha, Benteke, Townsend.

Hull City: Jakupovic, Maguire, Ranocchia, Dawson, Elmohamady, N'Diaye, Clucas, Robertson, Evandro, Niasse, Grosicki.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Palace 1-0 Hull, Zaha.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Palace 2-0 Hull, Bentekkers.

Hull :rose:

North East football. :rose:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I hope Hull go down this season, if only because I think they would go down next season since I can't see Silva staying either way, whereas a Swansea or Palace are better equipped to make a push of it.

[Marc Overmars]

Guess Merson was right about Silva.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0 Milivojevic pelanty.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0 Van Aanholt, dear me.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

West Ham: Adrian; Fonte, Reid, Collins; Byram, Fernandes, Nordtveit, Cresswell; Lanzini, Ayew, Calleri.

Liverpool: Mignolet; Clyne, Lovren, Matip, Milner; Can, Wijnaldum, Lallana; Coutinho, Origi, Sturridge.

[GP]

Come on you Hammers.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Matip heads down and hits the bar!

How didn't that go in?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mignolet saves from Fernandes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Terrible from Reid, 'Ammers gets away with it. Sturridge a bit slow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Milner with a woeful cross/shot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Sturridge. :doh:

[AFC Leveller]

Oh well.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How the fuck hasn't Ayew scored?!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He hit the post twice! :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

You're shitting me :doh:

I think you need to give up the game if you can't score that :ilt:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 HT.

[Jofnn]

:ladynana:

[Gooner23]

If we finish outside top 4 it does put a little more pressure on the board to withdraw Wengets new contract offer. I think he's signing on regardless, but I'd like to see the fuckers squirm a bit at least.

[Niall_Quinn]

:ladynana:

Can I be an admin please? No rush, any time today is fine.

[Niall_Quinn]

Pathetic playacting by Coutinho. Gets his opponent booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Celery off, Feghouli on.

Fonte hauled off, Fletcher on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Callieri on Feghouli off.

Fonte off Fletcher on.

Ayew still on :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wijnaldum smacks the bar.

0-2 Coutinho. :rose:

[Niall_Quinn]

Oh well. Looks like our ever resident twat has fallen just below the absolute bare minimum this season. There's always next season, to progress back to the barest, barest minimum.

[AFC Leveller]

Wenger right now http://www.soccerticketsonline.com/wp-content/uploads/wenger-head-in-hands.jpg

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Handball and elbow to the face but let's not do our jobs eh refs?

0-3 Coutinho again.

[Niall_Quinn]

What the hell? That's a blatant handball right under the nose of the ref.

Astonishing cheating.

[Globalgunner]

Looks like Hammers not coming to our rescue again.

[Niall_Quinn]

With these standards of reffing, you have to wonder what the point is.

[AFC Leveller]

The ref has either had a bet on a Liverpool win or hes incompetent either way he is a cunt.

[Niall_Quinn]

Looks like Hammers not coming to our rescue again.

Yes, but 1-2 becomes 0-3. And that's all down to the ref creating or ignoring rules as he goes. Such a massive, potentially season altering decision.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Seven points seperates 8th from 17th. :haha:

Says it all really.

[Niall_Quinn]

Swarbrick has lost the plot.

[selassie]

At least we will be able to compete in Europe next season now that we look Europa bound, winning it next season could be our only hope of getting back in the Champions League TBH.

[Niall_Quinn]

At least we will be able to compete in Europe next season now that we look Europa bound, winning it next season could be our only hope of getting back in the Champions League TBH.

It'll just mean we slip further down the league with Wenger helping himself to every excuse he can squeeze out of the Thursday schedule.

[Niall_Quinn]

Mind you, West Ham's defending is ludicrous.

[Niall_Quinn]

Origi is incredibly shite. Twice as good as Ayew, at best.

[Niall_Quinn]

One of those games that should be ended early because one team has packed it in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pulis to beat Citeh away. :cloud9:

[AFC Leveller]

Origi is incredibly shite. Twice as good as Ayew, at best.

[Niall_Quinn]

Coutinho beats Swarbrick to MOTM. Must have been close though.

[Niall_Quinn]

Hammers need 5. They need a bit more urgency if they hope to get them.

[Niall_Quinn]

FT 0-4

[Niall_Quinn]

Miss of the season from Ayew and then worst decision of the season by Swarbrick - main story of the match. Would have put Pool under pressure. Instead, exact opposite led to a comfortable win.

[Globalgunner]

Lets hope Mourinho can put a nice tint on the evening. 5-5 draw would be nice.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sky (and all the pundits) really think it's sufficient to watch a pen incident like that and settle for agreeing it was a pen. What about asking WHY the ref has ignored that? Kind of an interesting question, to put it mildly. Either the ref is too incompetent to be in charge of a match, or he's corrupt. But none of this is even considered. So do we just roll on with this standard of reffing and accept the dramatic effect it has on the league every season.

That's not to imply Wenger is unlucky. It's one decision in one game so that doesn't get him off the hook for a second. But reffing is a huge, huge problem in this league and has been for a long time.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wankyama 1-0 Maureen

[AFC Leveller]

1-0 Wanyama

[Niall_Quinn]

Looks a foregone conclusion. Can't be arsed watching spuds battering Maureen's pubbers.

[AFC Leveller]

A bit embarassing these White heart Lane tributes..

"i remember we cae 3rd and almost won the FA cup in the 80s"

"I remember when we went on a 9 match unbeaten run in 2017".

Joke club.

They are making a DvD of this game as we speak.

Europa League. :bow:

Always rated it.

And did they have Roger Daltrey singing Highbury Highs?
Did they fuck.

[Xhaka Can’t]

At least they won't have had 4 hours to sit around cheering loudly at first as each trophy winning team got announced.

When they started with the Women's honours I felt like I was at a Stalinist rally.

[Letters]

Norwich Hospital Charity Cup :bow:



(Shared)

[Xhaka Can’t]

I thought it was bad when they started listing Charity/Community Shield wins but then came the Women's honours. It was like when Bleeding Gums Murphy did the national anthem.

Still, it was better than Highbury Highs.

[Marc Overmars]

Nothing quite as prestigious as the putting the pressure on cup. 2 years in a row now.

[Xhaka Can’t]

We can but dream.

[Globalgunner]

About time for "Chelsea are the greatest team the world has ever seen" tributes to start. Better steel yourselves fellas.

Frank Lampard up first. Drogba waiting in the wings no doubt.

Team news: The lesser spotted Big man makes a return. Hooray!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea: Begovic, Zouma, Terry, Ake, Azpilicueta, Kante, Chalobah, Kenedy, Willian, Hazard, Batshuayi.

Watford: Gomes, Mariappa, Prodl, Holebas, Janmaat, Behrami, Cleverley, Capoue, Amrabat, Doucoure, Niang.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 1-0 Watford, Big Man.

Fuck off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 1-1 Watford, Capoue. :lol:

Big Man fuck up. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 Azpilicueta.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-1 Batshit.

I doubt Watford really care about this game, much like many of them. Except for us away.

For the second season in a row. :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 3-2 Watford, Janmaat.

Or maybe not. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 3-3 Watford, Okaka!

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Prodl with a bad tackle on Batman, he reacts with going head to head, forcefully. No red of course.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bats subbed, he should be suspended for the Cup Final but refs can't be arsed doing their jobs again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-3 Cesc. :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Prodl sent off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fight fight fight!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-3, FT.

Hate football tbf.

[Marc Overmars]

Don't know why you keep putting yourself through it bro.

[Letters]

They could get 93 points which would be pretty impressive.
Think that would mean they had won 30 out of 38 games.

Can't argue with that tbf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh: Caballero, Fernandinho, Kompany, Otamendi, Kolarov, Yaya Toure, De Bruyne, Silva, Sane, Aguero, Gabriel Jesus.

WBA: Foster, Dawson, Wilson, Evans, Nyom, Yacob, Chadli, Fletcher, Livermore, Brunt, Rondon.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 1-0 WBA, Jesus.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 2-0 WBA, De Bruyne. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 3-0 WBA, Yaya.

[Niall_Quinn]

Thought Brom might be able to nick a draw. Never mind.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-1, Robson-Kanu! Get in.

[Niall_Quinn]

Come on Satan!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-1 FT.

[Marc Overmars]

Wenger's pact with Satan in tatters.

[Niall_Quinn]

Wenger's pact with Satan in tatters.

He probably tried to haggle him down from a pound to an ounce.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Isn't this tribute to Zabaleta all a bit much and embarrassing?

Wouldn't happen at a big club. :guardiola:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh signed Messi I think.

:haha:

Unbelievable. What will Kompany get when he leaves?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The Zabaleta tribute is still going on...

[Niall_Quinn]

The Zabaleta tribute is still going on...

When is John Terry due on stage?

[Marc Overmars]

It's Man City. Who are their legends? Shaun Goater?

You have to forgive them for celebrating a mildly decent player in Zabaleta.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dennis Tueart, legend who went on to be front man for level 42. Quite a career.

[GP]

Man City have many legends like Darren Huckerby, Jo and Samir Nasri.

[Niall_Quinn]

And Joe Hart.

[GP]

Roque Santa Cruz. Remember him?

Me either.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton v Man Utd.

Gabbiadini had a pelanty saved and Bailly should've scored. Bailly gave the pelanty away also.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 FT.

Man Utd. :lol:

Utter crap.

[GP]

What has Mourinho done to Martial? He's utterly ruined him.

Rashford is going the same way.

[AFC Leveller]

[GP]

He's a fraud.

[Globalgunner]

Just learning that each league position is worth £16m. Quite an expensive flop this year has been without taking into consideration the CL losses.

Kane scores. 0-1

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leicester should've had a pel, surely?
