This Weekend's Fixtures & Midweek Fixture (21/22/23/25/26/27 Feb)

[Niall_Quinn]

I wonder will we see a massive change in the reffing in the second half? 15 minutes to get on that phone and make it happen.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Bruyne.

[Niall_Quinn]

DeBrown does something weird, then the ref blows for HT and waits for further instructions.

[Niall_Quinn]

Two boring teams and a sloppy, chaotic mess punctuated by a couple of hoofs over the top that exposed the gypo's non-existent defence. The quality of the football here is genuinely shocking. Some of these players couldn't hit the side of the Titanic from 2 yards. Mostly because the water depth would crush them instantly, but also because they are shite.

[21_GOONER_SALUTE]

There are so many grim similarities between ourselves and this gypo team - except the titles of course.

This is one of the main reasons I am almost certain we will not win anything else under Arteta with the decline of Pepball.

[Niall_Quinn]

Simple example right there - gypos have the ball in front of a massed Liverpool defence. Shifting it left to right, as Liverpool shuffle as a pack, left to right. Gypos have a wide man, facing back towards the midfield, ball comes to him, he instantly taps it back to where it came from. There's open space behind him on the wing, all it would take is for that initial pass to go into that space and the wide man, FACING FORWARDS would be on to it and whipping in a first time cross before the defence could do a damn thing. Of course there's NOBODY in the box, another special gift inflicted on us by Pep. But say you DID get players in the box?

[Niall_Quinn]

forget what I said about Robertson - that was woeful. Not much better by Salad and no deflection to help. That was inept, from all involved.

[Niall_Quinn]

Forget what I said about Robertson the second time - lovely cross field ball when every other cunt was determined to play it backwards. At least one of them get football is supposed to be entertainment.

[Niall_Quinn]

Diaz goes down in the box but too far away from anyone to get the pen.

[Niall_Quinn]

0-3 Jones but it'll be ruled offside.
