[HCZ_Reborn]

Wins for West Ham, Fulham, Ipswich, Brentford, Wolves hopefully

Liverpool-Chelsea I hope is a draw

The rest I don’t care (apart from the Arsenal game but that goes without saying)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tottenham: Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie, Bissouma, Maddison, Kulusevski, Johnson, Solanke, Son.
Subs: Forster, Dragusin, Gray, Bentancur, Sarr, Bergvall, Moore, Richarlison, Werner

West Ham: Areola, Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Kilman, Emerson, Rodriguez, Soucek, Paqueta, Kudus, Bowen, Antonio.
Subs: Fabianski, Cresswell, Soler, Coufal, Summerville, Mavropanos, Guilherme, Ings, Alvarez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save rom Vicario off Kudus.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Son curls it just wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Darren Fletcher thinks Antonio has the best smile in the league.

Has he not seen Welbz?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 0-1 West Ham, Kudus! :haha:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Don’t want to celebrate too soon, just as spurs have a knack of shooting themselves in the foot. They are also good at recovering from going behind at home.

However The Ammers are also unbeaten away from home so far :lol:

[HCZ_Reborn]

19 games at home without a clean sheet

[HCZ_Reborn]

Also is it just me who thinks after making a reasonably bright start in a spurs shirt that James Maddison has been utter shit

Fucker will probably score a worldy now

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Johnson shoulders it in the end I think.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

My feeling is West Ham are more likely to go 0-2 than it be 1-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

My feeling was wrong. :lol:

1-1 Kulusevski.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Went in off both posts!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Porro comes in with the Di Canio effort, wide it goes.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 HT.

Frantic game.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Have to admit quite like Kulusevski as a player, whilst he wouldn’t be a starter I’d definitely rather have him in our squad more than Jesus or Sterling

Although I’d take Kudus over him. 21_Gunner_Salute or whatever his name is, has a bit of a priapism for Kudus…can’t really disagree…he’d be a good player for us

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 Spuds, Bissouma.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-1 Tottenham, OG.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-1 Son.

What a collapse from the 'Ammers.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Son hits the post! Jesus wept.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Udogie blocks off the line to deny Kudus!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How has Solanke missed?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kudus will be sent off?

Big old fight.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Only a yellow for Kudus.

The Martinelli principle doesn't apply here.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

In comes VAR

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kudus sent off eventually

[HCZ_Reborn]

He went a bit mental there

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Delay in the Ipswich game for the IT issues relating to turnstiles.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fulham 1-0 Villa, Jimenez!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton 1-0 Leicester, Archer!

Fulham 1-1 Villa, Rogers.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Rogers equalises for Villa 1-1 craven cottage

[HCZ_Reborn]

Southampton 1-0 Leicester, Archer!

Fulham 1-1 Villa, Rogers.

Archer….the scrote that scored against us two weeks ago

[HCZ_Reborn]

Also Ipswich look like they’ve finally ironed out the kinks. Either that or they’ve given up and just kicked off anyway

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty for Fulham.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martinez saves it! I think.

Dawson wasn't very descriptive on Soccer Saturday.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton 2-0 Leicester, Aribo!

[HCZ_Reborn]

Martinez saves it! I think.

Dawson wasn't very descriptive on Soccer Saturday.

He does, but Perreira mishits it so it’s an easy save

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ipswich 0-1 Everton, Ndiaye. He has been very good for them tbf.

[HCZ_Reborn]

That shit Welbeck scores for Brighton

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbz! :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 0-1 Brentford! :haha:

[Mac76]

0-1 Pinnock

Ten Hag :pal:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Yes that did make me chuckle out loud

[Mac76]

Ten Hag and Ruud Van Blgnose also booked

[HCZ_Reborn]

Everton 2-0 up. Very dangerous scoreline for them :haha:

[HCZ_Reborn]

1-1 at Old Trafford. Garnacho. another get out of jail card for Ten Hag?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fulham 1-2 Villa, Watkins.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Watkins puts Villa in Front at Fulham

[HCZ_Reborn]

Buonanotte (who I believe got the only goal in Leicester’s win at Bournemouth) gets a goal back for Leicester at Saints


Looks a decent player to me, on loan from Brighton I think

[HCZ_Reborn]

Hojlund makes it 2-1 United

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Andersen sent off for Fulham

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brentford keeping Ten Hag going. :bow:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Andersen sent off for Fulham for being the last man, Watkins looking for the foul

[HCZ_Reborn]

Brentford keeping Ten Hag going. :bow:

Well if he can stay in the job until at least early March that would be helpful

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fulham 1-3 Villa, Diop OG

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton 2-2 Leicester, Vardy pelanty.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Leicester have levelled it up, and Saints have to play the rest of the game with ten men

Jamie “Chat shit, get banged” Vardy from the penalty spot

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Southampton 2-3 Leicester, Ayew!

[HCZ_Reborn]

Ayew gets the winner for Leicester against hapless Saints

[HCZ_Reborn]

Wolves 1-0 City Larsen

It’s going to be one of those days where hope is dangled in front of us and cruelly snatched away I fear

[HCZ_Reborn]

And to the surprise of no one City are level, Gvardiol worldy from outside the box

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Foden kicks Bernardo Silva in the head, bloodied up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool: Kelleher, Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Konaté, Robertson, Szoboszlai, Jones, Gravenberch, Gakpo, Jota, Salah.
Subs: Jaros, Gomez, Endo, Diaz, Nunez, Mac Allister, Tsimikas, Quansah, Morton.

Subs: Bettinelli, Disasi, Badiashile, Pedro Neto, Fernandez, Joao Felix, Nkunku, Dewsbury-Hall, Veiga.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 Stones

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I really don't think that should be ruled out.

[HCZ_Reborn]

I really don't think that should be ruled out.

Doesn’t matter whether it should or shouldn’t, it won’t be because it’s City

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And it stands.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Wolves 1-0 City Larsen

It’s going to be one of those days where hope is dangled in front of us and cruelly snatched away I fear

Had this spot on

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 FT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hmmm I change my mind on that one now I've seen that Bernardo Silva actually backed in to Sa.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

How is Reece James only 24.

Also probably the minute he goes down injured again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Guess I still want a draw here.

Shit weekend no matter what though.

[Niall_Quinn]

So holding your arm out, being a fair distance from the opponent and having the ball strike your hand (not arm but actual hand) is NOT handball and does not need to be checked by VAR? Glad we cleared the one up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That has to be a red no?

[Niall_Quinn]

"Completely different from yesterday". Yesterday the last man was sent off. Today the last man was not sent off. Is that what they mean by "completely different"?

I think we can say with absolutely certainly there was a 100% of that being a goal, same as in the Arsenal match. Players score 100% of the time when they pick up the ball on the halfway line. There's no chance of it not being a goal.

[Niall_Quinn]

Neville was so fast to dive in and mention the Arsenal match. Bang, straight in there! "It's not the same!, It's not the same!" Is that because he knows bloody well there are a million people looking at that and thinking, "Hold on a minute..." Did VAR even check that one?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wasn't even recommended to be checked.

I guess Howard Webb couldn't get from Bournemouth to Liverpool in time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Predicted a 0-0 stinker on this one, looking good so far.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Palmer should've scored though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dive from Salah.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Liverpool.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Predicted a 0-0 stinker on this one, looking good so far.

This went well. 1-0 Salah.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Jota off for his customary injury, Nunez on.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Jota off for his customary injury, Nunez on.

Jota injured? Excellent. Bugger always scores against us

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Another pelanty for Liverpool, not sure about that one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And it's overturned. No pel.

[Niall_Quinn]

How can city's ref Oliver be allowed to manage VAR for a Liverpool match?

[Niall_Quinn]

Is Palmer as good as everyone is making out? Seen him a few times now. He's decent. That's all. Nothing special.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Whoa a yellow for kicking the ball away.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-0 HT.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sancho off at half time for Pedro Neto.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That's onside. Will be 1-1 Jackson!

[Niall_Quinn]

A mile onside. Was that the lino that has surpassed Mike Dean in stinking upservice to the league?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

And it is.

[Niall_Quinn]

Stupid chavs.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 Jones. That's awful from Chelsea.

[Niall_Quinn]

Chavs make 673 subs. Lots of players on, lots of players off. Don't know who any of them are.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Chavs make 673 subs. Lots of players on, lots of players off. Don't know who any of them are.

I suspect you’re at no greater disadvantage than the rest of us, or even most Chelsea fans

[Niall_Quinn]

Fucking ref. Any time there's the danger of a game breaking out he blows his fucking whistle.

[Niall_Quinn]

Is Palmer still on the pitch? Talk about the invisible man. At least that's my jinx to ensure he scores in the next 10 mins.

[Niall_Quinn]

The chavs have a pirate playing for them. Tattoos, headband, probably at least one glass eye given the way he plays. But he hasn't brought his cutlass.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fucking hell. All you have to do is flop to the ground and moan like Kamala Harris and you get the favour of the guy in charge.

[Niall_Quinn]

Why do teams that are losing slow the game down? What advantage do they think that will bring them? It's ridiculous.

[Niall_Quinn]

Darwin should have been booked for that deliberate attempt at a foul - but he even fucked that up. Then he goes in and tries it again but only now does he get a yellow. Should have been second yellow and red. They just make up the rules as they go.

[Niall_Quinn]

Do Liverpool do "dark arts" too? Given the amount of cheating they have engaged in since that overrated fat bastard's ridiculous dive in the box? Or is it just Arsenal? Horrible bunch of scumbags. Making the chavs look like the good guys, which I thought was impossible.

[Niall_Quinn]

Come on Oliver - get a goal for the gypos!

[Niall_Quinn]

Pirate subbed, "Man" with a ponytail coming on.

[Niall_Quinn]

OMG, great ball by Salad and all that was required ws a simple ball across the box and it was a goal. But whatever twat was on the end of the Salad pass is quite literally no better than me at football.

[Niall_Quinn]

Curtis Jones, a supremely ordinary player, off - some other bloke on. Why are they creaming themselves over Jones? He's a 50/50 player. 50% of the time he does basic stuff, 50% of the time he's a total fuck-up. Doesn't take much to be a super-hero these days.

[Niall_Quinn]

I think it's McAllister who came on. Now he's a decent player. Proper player.

[Niall_Quinn]

McCalliser gets stuck into one of the chav poofs. He's bawling his eyes out. Good tackle.

[Niall_Quinn]

Chavs have zero movement. They all stay in a pattern. Nobody worthwhile to pass to. Too easy for the Liverpool defence. What's the theory behind such a pointless way of playing? It's almost as if they are happy losing 2-1 and want to prevent, at all costs, losing 3-1.

[Niall_Quinn]

7 minutes extra time. What an absolute joke.

[Niall_Quinn]

That 7 minutes os for the gambling markets in Asia. I bet a lot of cash goes down.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What a chance for 2-2.

[Niall_Quinn]

Not sure Palmer is that great tbh.

[Niall_Quinn]

Two shit teams in all fairness.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 FT.

Chelsea. :doh:

[Niall_Quinn]

FT 2-1 to the scousers.

Would have liked to see Salad sent off for his horrible cheating. But in the end the chavs decided tapping the ball around at snail's pace was the best way to win. They were wrong.

[Niall_Quinn]

Soem stupid woman now doing the post match post mortem. Seems like a cup game to the stupid bitch. Like every game I suppose. She's just happy to be here.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Jota injured? Excellent. Bugger always scores against us

Yeah he's a big miss, since with his record he'll inevitably be confined to a wheelchair for the next 9 months.
