[HCZ_Reborn]

Hopefully wins for Southampton, Forest, Leicester, Bournemouth

[Mac76]

I'm hoping Bournemouth get back into form tomorrow and put about five past spuds

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Close from Haaland a few minute ago.

Nico with quite a strike too, think it clipped the post, maybe just the side netting.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-0 HT. Shocking game.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hudson-Odoi shot, saves on to the post by Ederson!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Forest 1-0 Citeh, Hudson-Odoi!

[HCZ_Reborn]

Forest lead Hudson-Odoi!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Forest 1-0 Man City, FT. Very big result for them in terms of making the Champions League.

Citeh. :haha:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Raul Jiminez puts Fulham in front at Brighton

Brighton have never beaten Fulham in the Premier League

[HCZ_Reborn]

Also a lot of these mid table teams like Palace and Fulham, seem to be more confident playing away from home than they are at home

[HCZ_Reborn]

Brighton equalise - Hecke (the goalscorer, not an expression of dismay on my part…I literally don’t care who wins this game)

[HCZ_Reborn]

Also it’s Van Hecke apparently

[HCZ_Reborn]

Southampton keeping Liverpool at bay thus far (Nunez missing loads of chances helps)

You’d have to go back to 2013 for Southampton’s last win at Anfield (which is still more recent than our last win there)

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

No they're not, they're winning :lol:

[HCZ_Reborn]

No they're not, they're winning :lol:

Ah I wouldn’t worry too much, they did the same with us back in October. Then we woke up

[HCZ_Reborn]

Nunez avoids a red card

You’ve really got to get rid of this guy…he’s an utter liability

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Football is a weird fucking sport.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Football is a weird fucking sport.

Southampton (and not just Southampton) seem to be better away from home than at home. They are only awful away from home :lol: as opposed to catastrophically awful.

Plus as I said to SIB, Southampton took the lead against us (thanks Sterling) but we woke up and still win quite convincingly

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh yeah I mean no way are Southampton getting anything here but there will be teams much, much higher in the league that offer far less at Anfield.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Oh yeah I mean no way are Southampton getting anything here but there will be teams much, much higher in the league that offer far less at Anfield.

Southampton nothing to lose have they. Utter free hit

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Even so, it's funny how that can level things out enough to at least give a challenge.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Slot makes three changes (bit knee jerk ask me) but Nunez stays on

[HCZ_Reborn]

Even so, it's funny how that can level things out enough to at least give a challenge.

True, but also maybe add a bit of Liverpool complacency into the mix. The title is pretty much theirs, the irony is if we were closer in the table to them they’d be three goals to the good already

[HCZ_Reborn]

Ramsdale makes big save to deny Elliot

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 Nunez.

[HCZ_Reborn]

1-1 Nunez

Made up for terrible first half and almost getting himself sent off

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-1 Salah pelanty.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Salah (another pel) makes it 2-1 Liverpool

[HCZ_Reborn]

Odd score lines in Germany. Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund all losing at home

(Well not so strange for Dortmund, their season is in free fall)

[HCZ_Reborn]

Bayern 2-3 Bochum

Leverkusen 0-2 Werder Bremen

Dortmund 0-1 Augsburg

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Palace 1-0 Ipswich, Sarr.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Palace 1-0 Ipswich, Sarr.

Oh, oh well :(

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Another penalty. Handball :doh:

I think it was his handball earlier in the season. Silly.

And 3-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Another pel to Liverpool.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-1 Salah with his second.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Liverpool and Salah’s 9th pel of the season

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brighton 2-1 Fulham, João Pedro pelanty!

[HCZ_Reborn]

Speaking of Pels, Brighton go 2-1 up through Pedro pel

[HCZ_Reborn]

Watkins puts Villa in front at Brentford

Rogers initially made it 2-0 but goal was chalked off for offside

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brentford 0-1 Villa, FT.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Brentford 0-1 Villa, FT.

After winning 7 out of their first 8 home games, Brentford have now lost 5 out of the last 7

They seem to be making up for this by picking up points away from home, having won four out of the last five on the road

Odd

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wolves 0-1 Everton, Harrison.

[HCZ_Reborn]

1-1 Munetsi (no clue)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[HCZ_Reborn]

Hat-trick of away wins this afternoon would be nice

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bournemouth should be winning.

[HCZ_Reborn]

So should Chelsea, Palmer sees his pel saved by Hermansson

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Palmer is in some truly woeful form.

Or maybe this is really who he is. :ninja:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 0-1 Bournemouth, Tavernier!

Brilliant cross from Kerkez.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Spuds 0-1 Bournemouth, Tavernier!

Brilliant cross from Kerkez.

9th time in 15th league games that spurs have conceded the opening goal at home

From the previous eight 3 wins 1 draw 4 defeats

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save from Vicario off Kerkez

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sarr. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tottenham 0-2 Bournemouth, Evanilson! lovely.

[HCZ_Reborn]

1-0 Chelsea Cucurella

Le sigh

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Chelsea 1-0 Leicester, Cucurella.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Spurs back in it 1-2 Sarr

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 Sarr. :blink:

[HCZ_Reborn]

Utter fluke

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vicario taking the piss.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

So unlucky Kluivert. Attacking at will really.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Will never not hate those being given as a pel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tottenham 2-2 Bournemouth, Son.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Spuds 2-2 Bournemouth, FT.
