[Mac76]

Bournemouth go into the lead again :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bournemouth 1-0 Liverpool, Billing!

[HCZ_Reborn]

Bournemouth 1-0 Liverpool, Billing!

Come on you cherries

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How has Van Dijk not equalised?!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bournemouth cause a lot of issues when they come straight for you.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Obvious foul from Van Dijk missed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT. :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Airshot from Billing!

[Mac76]

Pel to Liverpool

[McNamara That Ghost...]

VAR review for a Liverpool pelanty.

[Mac76]

Salah miases :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Salah sends it miles wide! :haha:

[Mac76]

My bad, I brought him back into my FPL side :lol:

Sorry Shaqiri...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good turn from Christie but shot straight at Alisson.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Had a feeling this might happen, same as when we beat Palace 7-0 we couldn't score for shit and went on a terrible run. I guess we had that many bounces go in our favour last week we were bound to fuck things up this week.

Hate Saturday lunchtime kick offs.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Five added minutes.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Not going to lie, this is making me feel a little better about our insipid performance against Bournemouth last week. I was relieved more than jubilant over Nelson’s winner…the game was an embarrassment

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh Gakpo.

[Mac76]

Game over - Bournemouth up to 16th :popcorn:

Man Ure :pal:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bournemouth 1-0 Liverpool, FT!

They're back!

Liverpool of this season that is.

[HCZ_Reborn]

FT

I watched Bournemouth fan video last week, and I’m turning soft because I really felt bad for them because they were counting down every minute to get to FT with a 2-2 draw

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

We just really want Everton to go down

[Mac76]

We just really want Everton to go down

:lol:

[HCZ_Reborn]

We just really want Everton to go down

Tough game for them against Brentford, though they did ok when they played them at Brentford and the Bees haven’t won on the road since 2022 (haven’t lost either)

Nailed on draw for me, which almost certainly means one of the teams will win

[Marc Overmars]

Liverpool. :lol:

Daft.

[Letters]

We just really want Everton to go down

That’s a policy I can get behind.

[Mac76]

Richarlison scores but ruled out by VAR :haha:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Everton 1-0 Brentford - Mc Neil

[Letters]

Everton 1-0 Brentford - Mc Neil

Boo

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leicester 0-1 Chelsea, Chilwell.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Leicester 0-1 Chelsea, Chilwell.

Double Boo

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Boo

We will not destroy your planet. But neither will we provide you with our recipe for immortality.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Spurs 1-0 Forest

Treble boo

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tottenham 1-0 Forest, Kane.

They were obviously winning this one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leeds 0-1 Brighton, Mac Allister!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leicester 0-2 Chelsea, Joao Felix.

Rodgers. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tottenham 2-0 Forest, Kane pelanty.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Joao Felix disallowed. :lol:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Joao Felix disallowed. :lol:

1-1 Daka

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leicester 1-1 Chelsea, Daka!

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton look a serious threat to Top 4 to me tbf.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Brighton look a serious threat to Top 4 to me tbf.

1-1 Bamford.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well timed. :haha:

Leeds 1-1 Brighton, Bamford.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton 2-0 Brentford, Gray.

WTF?

[Mac76]

Ruled out

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2nd Everton goal disallowed?

Ah there it is, stays 1-0.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Everton 2-0 Brentford, Gray.

WTF?

Brentford have been unbeaten in the league since October


Had to come to an end at some point

Everton arguably unlucky not to win at Forest last week

I want them to stay up, three losses in a row at Goodison Park? Not wanting them to go down before we go there and smash them

Oh I spoke too soon

Oh well, that’s three goals chalked off by VAR in three o clock kick offs

[HCZ_Reborn]

Brighton look a serious threat to Top 4 to me tbf.

Could be, I wouldn’t begrudge them it. They play good football and are a really well run club. No one enjoys playing them but they’ve never been Goblin like pubbers with it either

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leicester 1-2 Chelsea, Havertz.

[Mac76]

Leicester 1-2 Chelsea, Havertz.

Hope Leicester go down tbh

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wonder how many goal have been disallowed by VAR this season.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Wonder how many goal have been disallowed by VAR this season.

Apparently it’s scrubbed 31 goals but given 22

However that stat is prior to this weekend so yeah 34

[Mac76]

Meanwhile it's so depressing to see Bumley running away woth the Championship, I thought we'd seen the back of those fuckers for a while

[HCZ_Reborn]

Meanwhile it's so depressing to see Bumley running away woth the Championship, I thought we'd seen the back of those fuckers for a while

Used to show more interest in the championship but it’s mainly a holding league for yo yo clubs

Burnley, Sheff United, Norwich, West Brom

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leeds 1-2 Brighton, OG?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Apparently it’s scrubbed 31 goals but given 22

However that stat is prior to this weekend so yeah 34

34 so more than 1 a weekend. Interesting.

[Mac76]

Spuds 3-0 up, Sonofabitch :sick:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Meanwhile it's so depressing to see Bumley running away woth the Championship, I thought we'd seen the back of those fuckers for a while

I think they will play differently under Kompany than Dyche. Hopefully anyway.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 3-0 Forest, Son.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Leeds 2-2 Brighton Harrison

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leeds 2-2 Brighton. That kills my Super 6 hopes. Harrison scoring at both ends.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 3-1 Forest. :lol:

[Mac76]

That's a dead cert

Meanwhile it's England 3 France 27 :haha: :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rodri shot saved from Guaita!

[Letters]

0-0 after 30 mins - Palace only have to do that two more times and it's job done...

:lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Send him off!

[GP]

Haaland is a dirty player

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Awful from Gundogan.

[Mac76]

should def have been a yellow at least

[Mac76]

Akanji should be in the book too

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT.

[Mac76]

so far so good

Palace have been quite decent tbf, needed a little luck but played ok

That includes Sambi btw - amazing how much better a player can do when they're encouraged instead of undermined...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Guaita saves from Foden's freekick!

[Mac76]

what a save!

[Mac76]

Alvarez :haha: :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Alvarez should have scored.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ake booked.

Run at him!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Olise gifting a corner. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Clyne off, Ward on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Palace are allowing far too many runners off them to hold on here.

Pel to Citeh. So stupid from Olise.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Haaland.

[Mac76]

awful from Olise - such a shame after how Palace have played

[Letters]

0-1 Haaland.

This weekend is so full of boo :(

And unfortunately that could be the difference in he title race. We are definitely in the race but we don’t have a player like that who san score so prolifically

[Mac76]

And unfortunately that could be the difference in he title race. We are definitely in the race but we don’t have a player like that who san score so prolifically

nothing to do with Haaland, who's failed to score in open play, and everything to do with Olise messing up

Palace have really let us down today

[Marc Overmars]

Palace. :lol:

Useless.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 FT.

[Mac76]

a defeat at Fulham tomorrow now seems inevitable - everything points to it...

[Letters]

Fine. That is true today. Must admit when I posted the above I’d missed that it was a pel.
But I think the more general point is true, we don’t have a goal machine like him and I think that and squad depth will be factors. But it’s in our hands, they’ve passed most of the tests so far so let’s see.
