[McNamara That Ghost...]

When it is needed they can break the no televised live games at 3PM rule in the UK then.

I'm guessing this was due to be the earlier game on the Sunday but moved for Coronation reasons I guess.

[Letters]

Come on, Leeds :lol:

It was supposed to be on Sunday but cos City play on Tuesday had to move to Saturday and god forbid anything clashed with a cunt getting a new hat, so they get an exception. 3pm rule is ludicrous especially in this day and age when it is so easy to find the games online.

[The Wengerbabies]

Anyway come on Big Sam :bow:

Always been a fan

There are no other league games today, so it doesn't matter if there's a televised 3pm KO

Criticism of the 3pm Saturday rule is really tiresome, it's there to protect attendances at lower level games and makes a lot of sense, regardless of illegal streams, it means pubs can't show games at that time and therefore there's less of an effect on attendances

Bournemouth 0-1 Chelsea, Gallagher!

:o

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Gundogan.

It had been coming. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bournemouth 1-1 Chelsea, Vina. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a miss from Haaland!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Gundogan again.

Similar goal.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Spurs 1-0 Palace Kane

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tottenham 1-0 Palace, Kane.

[Letters]

New manager bounce :rose:

[HCZ_Reborn]

New manager bounce :rose:

That only works with us

[Letters]

:lol: I think it is a thing, but to be fair City away isn't the idea first game as manager.

[HCZ_Reborn]

:lol: I think it is a thing, but to be fair City away isn't the idea first game as manager.

It is but actually I think it tends to happen more in the second or third game. Unless of course you’re playing Arsenal

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Haaland header saved.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ake off, Walker on.

[Marc Overmars]

Hopefully we can somehow pub ourselves a win tomorrow. Would at least force City to win their on paper trickier fixtures.

[HCZ_Reborn]

If Gabriel doesn’t play, I just can’t see us getting anything

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Haaland hits the post. :lol:

[Mac76]

If Gabriel doesn’t play, I just can’t see us getting anything

I doubt he will and given Arteta will not do the sensible thing and play someone who can defend at LB, we will sink without trace in that game

tbh it doesn't matter except it's all a bit embarrassing

There is no 'title race' and I don't know why people - other than the papers/TV companies who have a product to sell - are even pretending there is one

[Letters]

What a loser :lol:

<_<

Every game matters, whether we are playing for pride or not

[Mac76]

Every game matters, whether we are playing for pride or not

:rolleyes: ofc, I just mean it doesn't matter in terms of a 'title race'

[Mac76]

c'mon Palace ffs, just give us something to laugh at

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That is not a pel.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Bournemouth 1-2 Chelsea - I’m not even going to try and spell it

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gundogan hits the post! Justice.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Leeds have got a goal back

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 RODRIGO!! :haha:

[HCZ_Reborn]

:rolleyes: ofc, I just mean it doesn't matter in terms of a 'title race'

The chances of us overhauling City are next to nil, but might as well go for it whilst it’s still mathematically possible

We aren’t winning the title I agree. But I still say make a fight of it

[HCZ_Reborn]

Bournemouth 1-3 Chelsea

Pity. But Chelsea have almost become too pathetic to laugh at

[Marc Overmars]

If Gabriel doesn’t play, I just can’t see us getting anything

I read that with Kiwior in the other night we were able to hold a higher line that was 2 metres further up than the previous games with Holding. No doubt Newcastle will slaughter us if Holding is brought back in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 FT.

Leeds won the second half 0-1. :faint:

[Mac76]

FT - Citeh, Spuds and Chelsea all win :ilt:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Don't mind Chelsea winning at this late stage.

10th is the best they can hope for really.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Don't mind Chelsea winning at this late stage.

10th is the best they can hope for really.

Their last two away games are City and United. Interesting

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool: Alisson, Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Fabinho, Jones, Gakpo; Salah, Nunez, Jota.
Subs: Kelleher, Gomez, Milner, Henderson, Elliott, Tsimi4kas, Fiaz, Carvalho, Matip.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

National anthem soundly booed haha then drowned out with Liverpool, Liverpool.

[Mac76]

National anthem soundly booed haha then drowned out with Liverpool, Liverpool.

not a particular fan of that city or its people but :clap:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Van Dijk booked early on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Salah

[HCZ_Reborn]

National anthem soundly booed haha then drowned out with Liverpool, Liverpool.

Ugh tedious

I think it’s childish to boo the National anthem - it’s not the Tory party anthem or The South Yorkshire constabulary anthem. It’s just petulant and unnecessary.

But

What I hate even more is the people who have the temerity to claim to be champions of free speech who will call this a disgrace and that Liverpool should face sanctions for it. Do you hear yourselves?.

Same as arresting people in yellow t shirts in london earlier…a massive overreaction to at worst something mildly cringe

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Toney hammers a free-kick but just wide.

A lot closer than the Van Dijk shot from the distance the commentator went wild for.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Mbuemo.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Henry's shot. :haha:

Went for a throw-in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How has Gakpo not scored?!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Toney is a very good player.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 1-0 Brentford, FT!

Doing all they can to keep the Top 4 race interesting.

[Letters]

Almost certainly too little too late, but a decent effort given their form at times their season

[Mac76]

How has Gakpo not scored?!

Because I signed him for my FPL team...

I've also killed off Ollie Watkin's scoring run

[McNamara That Ghost...]

West Ham: Fabianski, Cresswell, Aguerd, Kehrer, Ogbonna, Soucek, Rice, Benrahma, Paqueta, Bowen, Antonio.
Subs: Areola, Anang, Johnson, Fornals, Lanzini, Downes, Cornet, Ings, Emerson.

Man Utd: De Gea, Malacia, Shaw, Lindelof, Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Eriksen, Antony, Fernandes, Rashford, Weghorst.
Subs: Butland, Maguire, Martial, Sabitzer, Fred, Dalot, Sancho, Williams, Garnacho.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

:haha:

How the fuck did that go in? De Gea:haha:

1-0 Benrahma.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:haha:

He chucked it in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Gea didn't chuck that one in. :faint:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

West Ham 1-0 Man Utd, HT.

:popcorn:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Is that a foul?

Seems dubious to me.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Soucek shot wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Obvious yellow for Wan-Bissaka!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed goal for Soucek!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's a horrible collision.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eight added minutes!

Fabianski saves from Martial!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

West Ham 1-0 Man Utd, FT!

:haha:

[Marc Overmars]

Just one more bum result and Liverpool have a chance. :popcorn:

[Letters]

It’s hard to decide what would be funnier, Utd or Liverpool missing out.
I think I’ll enjoy it either way.

[Marc Overmars]

United definitely.

Liverpool haven’t even been in the top 4 all season, so if they somehow got in at United’s expense that would be incredibly hilarious.

[Mac76]

Definitely Utd for me

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fulham 2-0 Leicester, Willian and Vinicius. Leicester are in a lot of trouble.

[Letters]

United definitely.

Liverpool haven’t even been in the top 4 all season, so if they somehow got in at United’s expense that would be incredibly hilarious.

You make a compelling case :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fulham 3-0 Leicester, Cairney.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fulham 4-0 Leicester, Cairney with his second.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fulham 4-1 Leicester, Barnes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vardy has a pelanty saved by Leno!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fulham 5-1 Leicester, Willian with his second. Wow.

[Letters]

Ouch :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fulham 5-2 Leicester, Maddison pelanty.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fulham 5-3 Leicester, Barnes. What the hell?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Ugh https://media.tenor.com/SHLErRcxf-kAAAAC/ugh.gif

[Letters]

Come on Brighton, you twats

[dazthegooner]

Hopefully saving themselves for City.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Nothing really to play for do they?

Everton however do

[Mac76]

Nothing really to play for do they?

Everton however do

Brighton have the small matter of playing to get into Europe...

Just clocked this score, can't believe it, although of coures it makes Brighton's game against us all the more important for them...

[Marc Overmars]

I think this game will save Neverton. Now they can afford to lose to City with 2 relatively kind fixtures to end after.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton 0-3 Everton. :blink:

To be clear on the score.

Doucoure with two and Steele OG.

Winning run for Everton until the end. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Should be 0-4.

[Mac76]

if at least one of Leicester and Everton don't go down i'll be disappointed

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton hit the bar!

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Always felt Everton would be fine.

Granted, i thought they'd be 10 points safe once they'd appointed Dyche, but still.

[HCZ_Reborn]

if at least one of Leicester and Everton don't go down i'll be disappointed

I don’t have any strong dislike of either team

Take away the usual suspects like city, Chelsea, spurs and United. I don’t really dislike any of the premier league teams this season

Sheffield United, Burnley, Stoke those are the Neanderthal teams I really don’t like

[HCZ_Reborn]

Always felt Everton would be fine.

Granted, i thought they'd be 10 points safe once they'd appointed Dyche, but still.

Not the manager that’s the issue, it’s the lack of quality in their team. When Iwobi is one of their key players you know they are a team in trouble

Unless Moshiri sells up it will be the same issue season after season even if they do stay up

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton 0-4 Everton, McNeil.

Wow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

March's hamstring has gone. :rose:

[HCZ_Reborn]

4-1 now

Absolute same as the reverse fixture

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton 1-4 Everton, Mac Allister.

:wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton 1-5 Everton, McNeil with his second! What the hell?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Fantastic. I get to boss around a Brighton fan tomorrow. Guess who's targets just went up

Mine was just so shocked Everton had actually won a game, it lost all sense of grammar.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

20 goals in 3 games

[McNamara That Ghost...]
