[Letters]

Can we just start games with them 1-0 up to save the refs the trouble of giving them a pel every game?

Frank:rolleyes:. Should have stayed at Derby. No one would yet know his limitations

[Xhaka Can’t]

He'll be gone by the morning.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 0-3 Man City, De Bruyne!

Dear oh dear.

Sterling though. :haha:

[Globalgunner]

0-3 Now

[Globalgunner]

Chelsea 0-3 Man City, De Bruyne!

Dear oh dear.

Sterling though. :haha:

Sterling is tripe. Flattered to deceive 3 years ago but now he is 3rd rate on the elite player rankings. His decision making is really poor

[Letters]

Only 3 points below Chelsea now :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne puts it wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kante hauled off, Gilmour on.

Think Ziyech has been given the hook too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 1-3 Man City, Hudson-Odoi.

Comeback is on!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 1-3 Man City, FT.

Lampsy. :wave:

[Marc Overmars]

He did ok to get them into the CL last season with the transfer ban and losing Hazard, but after the outlay in the summer they should have been expecting a title challenge.

Roman will be pulling the trigger soon.

[Globalgunner]

He will probably get till end season but if CL qualification is not looking likely. Roman is not the sentimental type

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

No recognised CB for Liverpool. :lol:

On a completely unrelated note, 1-0 Ings :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Who saw that coming? :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Awful header from Firmino.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Djenepo went off for Tella earlier.

Tella just combs one wide.

[Letters]

On a completely unrelated note, 1-0 Ings :haha:

Please stop trying to let Spurs win the league, you twats.
Thanks.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT.

Kloppo. :rose:

[Marc Overmars]

Null and void please.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Theo blasts it over and wide.

[Letters]

Null and void please.

:gp:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ox hauled off, Shaqiri on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great defending from Stephens to deny Mane.

Ings with a backpass to Alisson.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Glanced Firmino header, way wide it goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tella. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shaqiri. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mane scuffer, easily saved by Forster.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AA hauled off, Milner on.

Ings off, N'Lundulu on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Shaqiri booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Not looking likely for Liverpool really. They've got close to goal but none of them seem to have a clear idea of what to do.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Henderson clears near the line, bit too weak from Valery.

Fuck know what Alisson was doing.

[Mac76]

Can't believe it, we're gonna have to cheer on Man Ure this season :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cannons off Firmino. Think that will be that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Mane header, over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ridiculous time for a short corner routine from Liverpool there. :haha:

Southampton 1-0 Liverpool, FT!

We're 'only' 10 points off 1st. It's on!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is Hasenhuttl crying? :lol:

[Letters]

Spurs are going to do it aren’t they?

:haha: <- hysterical laughter :crying:

[GP]

Man City will win the league.

[Thierrymon]

Spurs are going to do it aren’t they?

:haha: <- hysterical laughter :crying:


:sick:

[Mac76]

Ole's at the wheel and will save us - right? :pray:

[Letters]

Ole will drive into a ditch. Suspect Spurs will be too Spursy to win it but no-one is trying that hard to stop them :(

[Marc Overmars]

Strange season where everyone seems capable of getting results they wouldn’t be expected to, guessing no fans has helped with that. I think it might only take 80-85 points to win the league. It feels bizarre that as poor as we’ve been, we’re “only” 10 points behind 1st, where in previous years it easily would have been a 15-20 point deficit by now.

Has a 2016 feel about it where there wasn’t one outstanding team, it was just Leicester who happened to be the most consistent at the final stretch.

[Letters]

Yes. It does feel like a season where "a Leicester" could win it.
Just panicking that Spurs could be Leicester. They're not that consistent but who is?

[Mac76]

someone needs to break one of K**t or Sonofabitch's legs really soon - pity Stoke went down, they're the kind of team that might do it

there's Maupay of course - presumably Spuds still have to play Brighton?

otherwise we need Xhaka to do it when we play them next - he'd get another three-match ban of course but i think we could live with that... :lol:
