United have a goal ruled out after a lengthy review

Surely a rule of thumb ought to be that if it takes that long to decide whether a goal should be given, it’s not a clear and obvious error. Don’t get me wrong funny as fuck that it’s happened to United…but this should be a standard principle throughout the game

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Maguire has a problem says Darren Fletcher.

My thought in response, he's shit.

But he's off for a concussion I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Onana saves from Wilson.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hollywood saves from Onana.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fulham 0-1 Man Utd, Fernandes!

Probably keeps Ten Hag about

[Marc Overmars]

This always happens when he’s on the brink. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 FT. :lol:

They're back!

[HCZ_Reborn]

This always happens when he’s on the brink. :lol:

Long May it continue

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Burnley 0-1 Crystal Palace, Schlupp

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brentford 1-2 West Ham, Maupay, Kudus and now Bowen.

Everton 1-0 Brighton, Mykolenko

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man City 1-0 Bournemouth, Doku.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Brentford 1-2 West Ham, Maupay, Kudus and now Bowen.

Everton 1-0 Brighton, Mykolenko


VAR heavily involved today

It just now wiped off Dunk’s equaliser for Brighton

And had a good long look at Bowen’s goal for the Ammers before finally giving it

[HCZ_Reborn]

Man City 1-0 Bournemouth

Doku

[HCZ_Reborn]

Man City 2-0 Bournemouth

Bernardo Silva

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man City 2-0 Bournemouth, Silva.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Slightly behind on that one. :lol:

[HCZ_Reborn]

3-0 Akanji

[HCZ_Reborn]

Desmond at the Brentford community stadium. Our ex defender Mavropanos puts it into his own net

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0 Foden.

[HCZ_Reborn]

4-0 City Foden

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man City 4-1 Bournemouth, Sinisterra

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[HCZ_Reborn]

Archer scores for Sheffield United

They are leading in a game for the first time since September 16th and only the third time this season

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sheffield United 1-0 Wolves! Wow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sheffield United 1-1 Wolves!

[HCZ_Reborn]

Sheffield United get a last minute pel and score it to win 2-1

[HCZ_Reborn]

Forest ahead at home to Villa which is good news for us

[HCZ_Reborn]

2-0 FT, so Villa fail to go above us

[HCZ_Reborn]

Luton 1-0 Liverpool

If Chelsea get a draw or a win tomorrow this might not have been such a terrible weekend for us

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1st defeat of the season isn't terrible anyway.

What we do after matters though, has to be 5 wins in a row at least.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 Diaz.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Luton 1-1 Liverpool, FT. That will do.

[HCZ_Reborn]

1st defeat of the season isn't terrible anyway.

What we do after matters though, has to be 5 wins in a row at least.

It is (was) in the context of losing ground on other teams. Do I think having played 11 games and losing only the once is terrible in of itself (no I’d agree it isn’t). But in a broader context we’ve lost three in seven. And whilst that’s not parachutes on emergency, it is a red emergency warning light.

We’ve got Sevilla and Burnley at home next I’m reasonably confident we will win both of those games and after that we have a two week break after which we should hopefully have some players back fit.

But yeah importantly we’ve got lucky that we are still in the top four. Hopefully we won’t be five points behind Spurs by this time tomorrow

[Letters]

DO come on, Chelsea. Try stop being terrible for one evening.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tottenham: Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bissouma, Sarr; Kulusevski, Maddison, Johnson; Son.
Subs: Forster, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Richarlison, Gil, Royal, Dier, Lo Celso, Bentancur.

Chelsea: Sanchez; James, Silva, Colwill, Disasi; Caicedo, Gallagher, Fernandez; Palmer, Jackson, Sterling.
Subs: Petrovic, Cucurella, Badiashile, Mudryk, Madueke, Ugochukwu, Gusto, Maatsen, Deivid.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 Kulusevski, deflected shot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Colwill OG I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 Sterling!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That will be disallowed.

However red for Romero?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's ok kicking someone apparently.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 Palmer.

And Romero sent off.

Van De Ven hamstring now.

[HCZ_Reborn]

So second Chelsea goal ruled out

Romero not content with getting away with one act of thuggishness commits another and this time is punished

Chelsea get a penalty

Palmer tucks it away for 1-1

The Dutch defender Van der Wen does his hamstring. Spurs now without either first team defender

[McNamara That Ghost...]

So tetchy.

[HCZ_Reborn]

The referee has lost control over this game.

Chelsea should be down to ten men, Spurs nine men

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Udogie sent off! :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

James misses the target somehow.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 Jackson! :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-3 Jackson again!

:haha:

[dostoy]

1-3 now.

Hahaha hahaha ha.

Son is nearly crying.

[HCZ_Reborn]

4-1 Jackson hat trick

[Letters]

Why is this game still going on? :blink:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-4 Jackson hat-trick!

[dostoy]

1-4 now.

It's farcical now.

I haven't seen it so I don't know if this is justice or not.

[Marc Overmars]

Finally the Spurs we all know and love have arrived this season.

[Letters]

Finally the Spurs we all know and love have arrived this season.

Arsenal and Spurs have both been riding their luck this season.
Getting found out :bow:

[Letters]

Hate to admit it, but I was impressed with Postecoglou's post-match interview. It was a lot more dignified than Arteta's hissy fit!

[HCZ_Reborn]

I like him personally but there’s no question he had no complaints. Udogie and Romero were in fact both lucky not to have been sent off earlier than they were. They as a team completely lost their heads and I’d be ashamed of the complete indiscipline if that was Arsenal.
I’d be interested to see how this equanimity holds out if something really goes against spurs that is a bit controversial. Postecoglou had a reputation for being a tad combustible when he was manager of Celtic, could get very irritable with journalists.

[Mac76]

I was so relieved to see that result, was getting really worried about them having an unbeaten title-winning season...

hopefully now the bubble has burst they will collapse - it helps that one of their players is out for three matches and another for a match

[Mac76]

oh and Maddison's injured so further good news :good:

[Letters]

I was so relieved to see that result, was getting really worried about them having an unbeaten title-winning season...
That was never going to happen, but I must admit I'd started to get a bit worried about them.
Let's hope the wheels properly fall off now.
