This Weekend's Fixtures & Newcastle v West Ham (23/24/25 Nov.)

Gary Neville stating that “it’s more than just Rodri”

Except it isn’t

He was the adhesive that kept that team together. Stones, Walker, Bernardo Silva, Gundogan…they all look past it, and because of financial sustainability rules it’s been near on impossible to replace them

You mean if Rodri had played then the gypo defence would have been a yard quicker and wouldn't have collapsed every time the spuds hit them with direct play? I guess Rodri is so good he plays in 5 positions. They can keep making the Rodri excuse all they want to, and it's true he's a big miss in terms of their stunningly boring tippety tap bullshit that kills every game he plays in with his co-bullshitter De Brown. They are effective, no doubt, but surely one of the most boring pairs since Iniesta and Xavi sucked the joy out of the game. Two factors most influenced the result, true, Rodri and De Brown's BS, but also the ref just playing it down the line.

Well I have to say it, that was a very good performance by the spuds. As always, just play at pace and play directly and modern day defenders don't have a clue how to counter it. Of course the officials just letting the game play out was a huge factor. I suspect we'd have beaten them by a similar scoreline had the officials not decided the result.

Don’t know if scoreline would have been similar, but think we would have won with 11 men for sure

Difficult to see Citeh doing anything to prevent Liverpool on the transition next weekend.

Maybe, I think most people wouldn’t have stuck much money on Spurs winning 4-0 tonight and Liverpool have already lost at home to Forest this season.

Dont get me wrong, Liverpool will be the favourites and city have a pretty ordinary record at Anfield, but stranger things have happened

[Mac76]

Citeh got junked by a team which wins well one week and gets trashed the next

Given what happened at the end of last season, there'd be a lovely irony if we pubbed the league now with Citeh just a point or two behind and Spuds fans knowing they made it happen ...

0-4 sure, nobody predicted that but I didn't think Tottenham would lose. They attack in a way Man City can't handle right now and I see that from Liverpool too.

Spurs lost to Ipswich. Sure I see what you’re saying about City being vulnerable, but Spurs had two of their first choice defenders out. Even without Rodri, if City were not through the floor in form and confidence they could have mauled Spurs

Armstrong goes down from challenge from Konate

No Pel given, could have been just outside the box

1-0 Liverpool

Hungarian copy and paste

Le sigh….

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That should be a pel.
