[Ollie the Optimist]

These referees are just making it up as they go along


https://youtu.be/SrjphM3Iwvg

Fat Sam to get them out of it? :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Moutinho is dead now too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good strike from Joe Linton but right at Rui Patricio.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Newcastle 1-1 Wolves, Ruben Neves.

Dubravka chucks it in!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Joe Linton should be burying it. Saiss clears on the line.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hoever is on. He will clean up.

[GP]

Hoever is on. He will clean up.

He sucks haha lol

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

And also, Traore is so shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Five added minutes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How has Dubravka kept that one out to deny Fabio Silva?

[GP]

:lol:

And also, Traore is so shit.

He never does anything.

Commentators always wax lyrical about him but all he can do is run.

He never does ANYTHING!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Newcastle 1-1 Wolves, FT.

We stay above Wolves. :trophy:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He never does anything.

Commentators always wax lyrical about him but all he can do is run.

He never does ANYTHING!

He's a very good bodybuilder.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Mac76]

ffs

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0, Kane.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 3-0 Burnley, Lucas Moura.

Hopeless from Burnley.

[dazthegooner]

Dyche obviously hates us more than the spuds <_<

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0, Bale with his second.

[Mac76]

i didn't think it was possible for me to hate Dyke and Bumley more than i already did but they've achieved it - what a game to not turn up to

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ziyech shot, straight at De Gea.

VAR checking for a pel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nothing given.

Shut up Neville.

[Globalgunner]

No pen. Greenwood handled it as much as Hudson Odoi if it was handled at all

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hudson-Odoi whacks it on the volley but wide.

[Globalgunner]

No real quality on show here. Just a whole lot of tackling and neutralising each other. This could be a long 90 mins. Someone needs to take a proper dive I the penalty box.

[Globalgunner]

Giroud :o

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Gea. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bif diving header, fluffs it and injures himself.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT

Neville and Tyler still maintain this has been a classic so far.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tuchel hates Hudson-Odoi. :haha:

He's off for James.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Unsure how Ziyech or James avoided scoring.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McTominay shot, Mendy saves.

[Globalgunner]

Unsure how Ziyech or James avoided scoring.

Or Giroud either

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great clearance from Bif to deny Ziyech.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fred combs it, wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Greenwood hauled off, Martial on.

Ziyech off, Werner on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Werner hammers it but De Gea near post and wasn't going to go in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McTominay with the wrong kind of ball in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 0-0 Man Utd, FT.

Ole. :haha:

"We won't let City run away with it".

12 points behind now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

To be fair, what do you do about a team who win a bajillion games in a row?

Don't draw 0-0 all the time in the big games would be a start.

And don't concede the last minute goal to Everton too!

Or draw with West Brom when everyone else had shat on them away from home. :lol:

[Letters]

Well...yeah, there is that I suppose :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ole has gone full Keegan.

[Mac76]

Including headphones?

[GP]

https://streamable.com/eocwot

:lol: What a meltdown.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Including headphones?

Well the only difference!

[Mac76]

https://streamable.com/eocwot

:lol: What a meltdown.

Well it depends if he's right - i didn't watch the game, was it as clearcut as he's saying?

Redmond off, Watts on.

Can't quite believe Redmond has nearly lasted the whole 90. Utter shite.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Three added minutes.

Burnley 1-1 Leicester currently, Vydra and then Iheanacho equalising.

Sheffield United 1-0 Villa, McGoldrick. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Old Man Jagielka sent off for Sheffield United. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Westwood hit the woodwork for Burnley.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why Jagielka's was a red and yet Konsa's one against us wasn't is anyone's guess.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Burke off, McBurnie on.

Burke the sub, subbed. :haha:

Shocking result for Villa. :lol:

Spuds goal now given as a Adarabioyo OG.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Calvert-Lewin hasn't scored from further out than 9 yards out this season. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lemina should've equalised for Fulham but well and truly fucked it up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

SkyBot calls him Anchelatti. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iwobi hauled off for Allan. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

O'Shea booked. Wonderful scroting.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Doucoure off, Sigurdsson on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WBA 0-1 Everton, Richarlison.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ridiculous defending from Furlong. Booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Werner had a shot, it wasn't on target. :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 0-1 Chelsea, Werner!

More chaos in Liverpool's defence. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Given offside by an armpit. :haha:

Poor old Werner. Destined to be shit.

Mane fluffs the control.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 0-1 Chelsea, Mount.

Kloppo. :rose:

[Mac76]

They really are falling apart

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

:lol: Bollocks.


We've already fallen apart.

[Letters]

:lol: Bollocks.


We've already fallen apart.
It’s completely bonkers but it’s entirely possible (although not probable IMO) that we could finish above you.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Double save from Alisson? If not, cleared off the line to deny Ziyech on the second attempt.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

It’s completely bonkers but it’s entirely possible (although not probable IMO) that we could finish above you.

I wouldn't rule it out.

We're shite. Like proper shite.

Thing is though, I actually don't even care.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 0-1 Chelsea, FT.

Five home defeats in a row for Liverpool. :doh:

[Letters]

I wouldn't rule it out.

We're shite. Like proper shite.

How did you go from last season doing what City are doing now, winning every game, to this year, certainly since Christmas, when you can't buy a win?
I heard you've had some injury woes, but still.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

How did you go from last season doing what City are doing now, winning every game, to this year, certainly since Christmas, when you can't buy a win?
I heard you've had some injury woes, but still.

We've not been great since we came back from the first lockdown really, at first you could put it down to the league already being won and us taking our foot of it. I wouldn't even put it all down to Van Dijk's injury, we won something like 7 on the bounce after it and did get dicked 7-2 by Villa with him in the team so it wasn't all rosey anyway. Problem is we lost every centre back we had in quick succession, then lost the centre mids who were filling in at centre back. It's not even the number of injuries (even though it has been a lot) it's that they've all been in the same position and to the leaders of the team. We've had something like 20 centre back partnerships and no two CBs have played more than 2 full games together.

That completely threw us off, and the players who are supposed to provide us with something a bit different, more direct etc like Keita (just put him down) and Oxlade (he's been here 4 fucking years and in that time done about 4 brilliant things) are always fucking injured as well. The front 3 decided to become absolute shite all at the same time, though Salah has bagged a load he's also looked off, Mane's in a slump and Firmino is done. Jota was winning us games and then he drops dead for 3 months as well, so we were relying on Origi, who will always be a cult hero but by Christ he's terrible.
We probably are affected by the lack of fans but that's a shite excuse. But I guess add that in with life being shit generally, they all just seem worn out and all look like they want the season to just be done with. Especially when you throw in the recent personal losses, they can say what they like but football must surely be unimportant all things considered.

I don't think it's irreversible, but we do need a refresh, and we did do last summer. And probably the summer before, as odd as it sounds. It is a tad concerning that this has happened to Klopp before, not to belittle what he's done in the last few years, but it just doesn't seem like he knows how to fix it because our tactic is still cross, cross, cross and when that doesn't work... cross. And less said about his subs the better.

[Letters]

Disallowed goal for Fulham earlier, sounds like a shit decision.

Had a look this morning.
Another one of those where the ball is blasted at a player who was side on.
The ball hit his arm because...well, that’s where arms are.
And these days that is “hand ball”.
One of those that by the letter of the law was right but it’s a bullshit rule.

And less said about his subs the better.

My take on this is that you won the league playing a relatively small squad, but very high intensity football. This season has been so congested that it's turning into a test of stamina and your players look burnt out. I've heard that Guardiola's style - possession football that simply knackers out the opposition is on its way back - and Arsenal, with a big squad and a Pep graduate as manager, may ultimately be the beneficiaries of this. If this is right, then Klopp's style may be on its way out?
