[Mac76]

Cmon Bournemouth ffs

Citeh will probably get into double figures v Leicester

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aston Villa: Martinez, Young, Konsa, Mings, Moreno, Dendoncker, Ramsey, McGinn, Douglas Luiz, Buendia, Watkins.
Subs: Olsen, Sinisalo, Carlos, Traore, Chambers, Duran, Digne, Revan, Patterson.

Newcastle: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Gordon, Bruno Guimaraes, Willock, Murphy, Isak, Joelinton
Subs: Dubravka, Lascelles, Wilson, Ritchie, Targett, Manquillo, Anderson, Longstaff.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa 1-0 Newcastle, Ramsey!

From a few minutes ago. :lol:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Villa all over Newcastle at the moment, remains to be seen if they can capitalise and get another goal or whether they’ll get pegged back like Brentford last week

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa are playing so well.

Emeryball. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa 1-0 Newcastle, HT.

[Marc Overmars]

Even though it’s completely pointless, come on Leicester. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pope saves from Watkins!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Martinez off Isak.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa 2-0 Newcastle, Watkins!

Pope got something on it but not enough!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah that might be offside.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Villa 2-0 Newcastle, Watkins!

Pope got something on it but not enough!


Be interested to see what happens with Watkins in the summer, his form has been good enough that he’s got to be on the radar of a few big clubs.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed, stays 1-0.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Disallowed, stays 1-0.

VAR loves fucking with people. It’s getting to the point where you can’t even celebrate a goal because you don’t know if it will stand.

Don’t get me wrong, the right call but tight as your mum and I think sometimes just give the attacking player benefit of the doubt

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McGinn combs it wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

VAR loves fucking with people. It’s getting to the point where you can’t even celebrate a goal because you don’t know if it will stand.

It's bizarre to really think an advantage was gained with that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Now it is 2-0 through Watkins!!

Wonderful football.

[HCZ_Reborn]

2-0 again

[HCZ_Reborn]

Watkins shakes off the marginal call denying him three minutes previously to net again. I’ve a bit of a bitterness towards him because he’s scored four times against us but there’s no doubting his quality (and it appears his mentality)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great block from Mings.

[HCZ_Reborn]

How is Guimares not starting games, he is for Newcastle what Partey is for us

[Marc Overmars]

Good outside bet for 4th Villa. They’ve got Spurs and United to play still.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa 3-0 Newcastle, Watkins again!!

[HCZ_Reborn]

Good outside bet for 4th Villa. They’ve got Spurs and United to play still.

Not for me. Had Emery started the season with them perhaps but they are six points behind United having played two games more…that’s just too much to overturn at this stage of the season despite their excellent form

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Delivering Europa League for Villa at the first attempt will be such an Emery thing to do.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Beating Newcastle full stop is an achievement this season, beating them 3-0 is immensely impressive

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa 3-0 Newcastle, FT!

That was a beating for Newcastle.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 1-0 Brighton, Gallagher! An actual goal for Chelsea.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton 0-1 Fulham, Reed!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wolves 1-0 Brentford, Diego Costa!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 1-0 Bournemouth, Son.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton 1-1 Fulham, McNeil!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 1-1 Brighton, Welbeck!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 1-1 Bournemouth, Vina!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton 0-1 Palace, Eze!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton 1-2 Fulham, Wilson!

Fulham aren't fully on the beach. :pray:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Spuds 1-1 Bournemouth, Vina!

I believe I’m right in saying that if this scoreline stays the same and we beat the Ammers then it’s St Totteringham’s day for the first time since May 2016

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton are creating chance after chance.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Brighton are creating chance after chance.

Didn’t do them too much good against Spurs. Fortunately for them, Chelsea often seem as likely to score as an impotent man in a lesbian bar.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton 0-2 Palace, Eze with his second!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I believe I’m right in saying that if this scoreline stays the same and we beat the Ammers then it’s St Totteringham’s day for the first time since May 2016

Not mathematically I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well now it would be.

Tottenham 1-2 Bournemouth, Solanke!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wolves 2-0 Brentford, Hwang!

[HCZ_Reborn]

Not mathematically I think.

It would I’m sure. We are on 73 points win tomorrow we are on 76

And if they stay on 54 points, they can get a maximum of 21 points from their remaining games

Also they are 2-1 down :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Everton 1-3 Fulham, James! Wow goals flying in now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 1-2 Brighton, Enciso!

[HCZ_Reborn]

Everton 1-3 Fulham, James! Wow goals flying in now.

Just makes me angry that we managed to lose to them. Whatever happens between now and end of season will be hard pushed to get a fixture that pissed me off more than that. I also want them to stay up so we can remedy three losses on the trot there.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Chelsea 1-2 Brighton, Enciso!

The one thing I agree with Mac 76 about is that they are going to be a bugger to play (Brighton not Chelsea) VAR and the officials had to absolutely shit the bed for them to lose to Spurs. It helps for sure that we can score a lot of goals but they are going to be an absolute menace

[Marc Overmars]

Chelsea are so shit.

Far more worried about us playing Brighton in the run in.

[Mac76]

I still can't quite take it in that Diego Costa is playing for Wolves

[Mac76]

Just makes me angry that we managed to lose to them. Whatever happens between now and end of season will be hard pushed to get a fixture that pissed me off more than that. I also want them to stay up so we can remedy three losses on the trot there.

Yes to the first part, 100% no to the second, I want them to go down and then keep going right down to the conference, miserable little club

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 1-2 Brighton, FT! 100% losing record for Lampard in three games managed.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Tottenham.

Richarlison still hasn't scored in the league. :haha:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Yes to the first part, 100% no to the second, I want them to go down and then keep going right down to the conference, miserable little club

Disagree. I have family in Liverpool and have a bit of an affinity for that city and think it would be just sad if they went down. Plus we really have only ourselves to blame for putting in the countless shit performances at GP in recent years. Plus want them to get their shit together and do to City what they did to us.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tottenham 2-2 Bournemouth, Danjuma. Oh Bournemouth, going to give it away again from a good position against a North London club?

[Mac76]

Looks like an Eze win for Palace :rimshot:

[Mac76]

Tottenham 2-2 Bournemouth, Danjuma. Oh Bournemouth, going to give it away again from a good position against a North London club?

:angry:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Tottenham 2-2 Bournemouth, Danjuma. Oh Bournemouth, going to give it away again from a good position against a North London club?

I watched one of their fan videos for the game against us and as relieved as I was that we won I did feel for them massively.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-3 Bournemouth, Outtara!! :haha:

[HCZ_Reborn]

3-2


To Bournemouth!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Richarlison missed a sitter at 2-2. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man City: Ederson, Stones, Walker, Dias, Laporte, Rodri, De Bruyne, Grealish, Silva, Mahrez, Haaland.
Subs: Ortega, Phillips, Ake, Gundogan, Gomez, Alvarez, Palmer, Lewis, Akanji.

Leicester City: Iversen, Soyuncu, Souttar, Faes, Kristiansen, Castagne, Ndidi, Tielemans, Dewsbury-Hall, Maddison, Vardy
Subs: Ward, Iheanacho, Amartey, Daka, Mendy, Praet, Thomas, Tete, Marcal-Madivadua.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 2-3 Bournemouth, FT!

[Marc Overmars]

So Spursy.

Get that St Totts Day bunting out lads.

[Mac76]

Yes!

Spuds :haha:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Yes!

Spuds :haha:

You have to love football sometimes

Them getting a last gasp winner to win 3-2 in North London

Definitely looking out for that fan video :haha:

[Letters]

Oh Spurs, you hilarious mess :haha:

[Mac76]

Disagree. I have family in Liverpool and have a bit of an affinity for that city and think it would be just sad if they went down. Plus we really have only ourselves to blame for putting in the countless shit performances at GP in recent years. Plus want them to get their shit together and do to City what they did to us.

Sure they can beat Citeh but I hate the club and also hate Dyke so definitely want them to go down

[HCZ_Reborn]

Sure they can beat Citeh but I hate the club and also hate Dyke so definitely want them to go down

Oh throat cancer boy? Well there would be that fringe benefit I guess if they got relegated

But yeah i have that soft spot for the city which means I hope they stay up.

But then maybe I’m too soft in my old age, I like the south coast clubs anyway as my grandfather came from Portsmouth (think they are staying in league 1 for another season) but I felt so bad for Bournemouth fans after losing to us the way they did that I’m quite pleased that they’ve won four out of six since that game

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maddison. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Outrageous first touch from Mahrez.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Outrageous first touch from Mahrez.

Thought he was injured

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Stones, wow what a strike.

[Mac76]

game over

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pel to Citeh surely.

Ndidi. :doh:

[Mac76]

Pel to Citeh surely.

Ndidi. :doh:

Yes Ndidi

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Haaland.

[HCZ_Reborn]

I thought Leicester would go down but next season, it’s clear that there are issues at the club.

But thought they’d have enough quality in the squad to last this season

Think we should pick the bones. Get rid of Holding bring in Soyuncu, get rid of Xhaka bring in Tielemans

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0 Haaland again.

[Mac76]

great take by Haaland

[Mac76]

imagine being a Leicester fan right now - they've an hour to go... :ilt:

[HCZ_Reborn]

imagine being a Leicester fan right now - they've an hour to go... :ilt:

Seven years ago they were looking to secure the title.….being chased by Spurs

[Mac76]

Seven years ago they were looking to secure the title.….being chased by Spurs

and us of course - who came second and did the double over them - I was at the home game when Welbeck got THAT goal

[Mac76]

This game is such a dead rubber, Pep will be able to start taking key players off at HT, which is how they will manage their relatively busy fixture list

[HCZ_Reborn]

and us of course - who came second and did the double over them - I was at the home game when Welbeck got THAT goal

No we were completely done as title challengers by that point, it’s only because spurs collapsed at the end of the season that we finished 2nd

[Marc Overmars]

Leicester. :lol:

Couldn’t even give us a glimmer of hope.

Hope we smash West Ham and Southampton because City’s goal difference is getting away from us now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0 HT. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No we were completely done as title challengers by that point, it’s only because spurs collapsed at the end of the season that we finished 2nd

We were two points behind Leicester after that Welbeck goal. We collapsed tbf.

[Marc Overmars]

Lost at Old Trafford to a terrible United a week later.

Classic Wenger.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And then Swansea at home. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Haaland and Stones are off, Alvarez and Akanji on.

[HCZ_Reborn]

We were two points behind Leicester after that Welbeck goal. We collapsed tbf.

That was February, this is April

Seven years ago Leicester were two and a half weeks from the title

And we were dropping points at home to Crystal Palace.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rodri off, Phillips on. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Grealish easily went past Tielemans there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save to deny Mahrez.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Grealish easily went past Tielemans there.

In fairness Tielemanns has been shit this season. Whilst I definitely want him to replace Xhaka, but can kind of get why the club are looking elsewhere

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne off, Palmer on.

[Mac76]

KDB off, some kid randomly picked from the crowd on

[HCZ_Reborn]

KDB off, some kid randomly picked from the crowd on

Cough….Ethan Nwaneri

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Weak shot from Praet.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Grealish off, Gomez on.

All the competition winners today.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-1 Iheanacho!

[Mac76]

The comeback's on :popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iheanacho. :haha:

Awful.

[Mac76]

Iheanacho :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maddison just dropped the Ashes.

[Mac76]

I wonder if Grealish ever thinks about the fact that every single photo of him playing football for Citeh will have him looking like a complete tosser, I've no idea what his hair's supposed to be like without the Alice band but is it really worth it?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Iheanacho hits the post!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-1 FT.

Can we cut the GD deficit tomorrow? :popcorn:

Obviously the win is the priority.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That has to be handball from Maguire.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

WTF?! Not given.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Antony, well followed up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a miss from Martial.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 Dalot.

[Mac76]

0-2 Dalot.

good stuff tbh, it's helping condemn Spuds to the Europa League at best - I wouldn't put it past Villa to pip them to that either

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leeds 0-1 Liverpool, Gakpo.

Totally baffled why that wasn't disallowed for handball when it started the attack.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 Salah!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Leeds 0-1 Liverpool, Gakpo.

Totally baffled why that wasn't disallowed for handball when it started the attack.

It's not even one of them where it pings up and accidentally hits him, he literally used his elbow to control it :blink:

Too early maybe, since it was passed once or twice before going in, but still.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leeds 1-2 Liverpool, Sinisterra! Calamity from Konate.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's not even one of them where it pings up and accidentally hits him, he literally used his elbow to control it :blink:

Too early maybe, since it was passed once or twice before going in, but still.

Apparently it was too far back. :lol:

I'm so confused by just about everything rule wise in football now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leeds 1-3 Liverpool, Jota!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Salah.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-4 Salah.

Lovely goal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-5 Jota.

Back-to-back 1-5's at home for Leeds. Javi Gracia will get sacked I presume.

[HCZ_Reborn]

1-5 Jota.

Back-to-back 1-5's at home for Leeds. Javi Gracia will get sacked I presume.

He’s coached Watford, he knows the score

[Mac76]

It's got to be Big Sam for Leeds next, surely

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-6 Nunez.

Hopeless from Leeds.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-6 FT.
