The Weekend’s Other Games 30/01/21

[miller0863]

First up Everton v Newcastle.
Newcastle won the return fixture in November, highly unlikely they’ll get anything today.

[Kev0909]

Wonder if this will be the game to get bruce sacked?

then again Ashley probably loves someone else taking the hate

[reddownunder]

Given the bottom 3 are so shit Newcastle are likely to stay up despite their own shittiness. If so it would be job done as far as Ashley is concerned with very little money spent again

[Kev0909]

Given the bottom 3 are so shit Newcastle are likely to stay up despite their own shittiness. If so it would be job done as far as Ashley is concerned with very little money spent again

Didn't they spend more than us , Net spend at least??

should be doing better with that squad

over the last few years they've spent more than us that's for sure not hard when we spent £9.36m last year and made 37m but this year we spent 71m made 38 nearly balances out

[ianlfc]

Anyone with LFCTV its showing that our under 23s are playing man utd at 1 o'clock and starting now.

[ianlfc]

Ben Woodburn ( remember him) starts after coming back from Blackpool on loan and Billy the kid starts at centrehalf.

[ianlfc]

Also the new Brazilian keeper starts. Apart from that I don't know much about the others.

[ianlfc]

Utd have a 30 million 18 year old player starting. They bought him from Atalanta, Diallio.

[ianlfc]

Big Billy caught out at the back and the 30 million man scores. 0-1.
Awful from our big man.

[miller0863]

H/T Everton 0-0 Newcastle

[ianlfc]

0-2 ,cut open at the back. Not great again.

[ianlfc]

1-2 Tyler Morton. Great finish from the edge of the box.

[ianlfc]

2-2. Game on.

[ianlfc]

H/T 2-2. Apart from their 2 goals it's been pretty much all Liverpool.

[miller0863]

Lollllzzz
Everton 0-1 Newcastle
Wilson 73 mins

[Insidious]

Newcastle lead against Everton.

Given that Everton have 2 games in hand on us (if we include the one being played) that's a very good goal for us.

[miller0863]

Saint Maximin is on for Newcastle, very talented player.

[miller0863]

Brilliant Newcastle move culminating in Wilson being denied by the post, so close to tying up the 3 points.
Everton 0-1 Newcastle 88 minutes

[reddownunder]

Wilson gets his second. He could have had 4 but its game over

[Insidious]

Sorry Carlo!

A fab result for us that.

[miller0863]

Superb Newcastle break, started by Saint Maximin, finished by Wilson
Everton 0-2 Newcastle
Excellent result for us. Newcastle impressive, Everton absolute gash.

[ianlfc]

2-4 now.

[miller0863]

2-5
4 goals for Hugill, 3 of them in 15 second half minutes.

[miller0863]

If it wasn’t already, it’s embarrassing now.
Liverpool U23 2-6 Utd U23

[Kev0909]

we're getting lucky with results in the prem!! thank god everton will stay below us

[miller0863]

Finished
Liverpool U23 3-6 Utd U23

H/T at U18 level
City 2-1 Liverpool

[Kev0909]

Finished
Liverpool U23 3-6 Utd U23

H/T at U18 level
City 2-1 Liverpool

I don't see the next Owen or carragher or gerrard anywhere sadly

[miller0863]

Back to the grown ups at 3pm
Man City v Sheff Utd
WBA v Fulham
Palace v Wolves

[miller0863]

Absolutely pathetic defending from Sheff Utd four absolutely terrible Sheffield attempts to defend the move.
City 1-0 Sheff Utd after 8 minutes


After the Lord Mayor’s show...

[miller0863]

Fat Sam’s Rabble 0-1 Fulham 10 minutes

[miller0863]

U18’s
City 2-2 Liverpool (L.Stewart 2 pens)
55 gone

[miller0863]

Incisive Fulham break denied by the post. West Brom terrible

[Steveo]

Fulham should be 2 up. De Cordova Reid over hits it onto post and out.

[miller0863]

Fantastic entertainment at Selhurst Park in the opening 20
Palace 1 shot 0 on target
Wolves 0 shots of any kind.

Palace 0-0 Wolves

[Insidious]

Absolutely pathetic defending from Sheff Utd four absolutely terrible Sheffield attempts to defend the move.
City 1-0 Sheff Utd after 8 minutes


After the Lord Mayor’s show...

6 of City's bench for this game -

Mendy - £52m
Stones - £50m
Sterling - £50m
Rodri - £62m
Mahrez - £60m
Cancelo - £30m

Total - £304m

Value of Sheffield United's entire squad - £155m

Games like that will always look a mismatch.

[miller0863]

Liverpool’s U18’s and U23’s have conceded 9 goals between them, so far this afternoon
Man City U18’s 3-2 Liverpool U18’s
75 gone

[miller0863]

Well obviously Sid yes but the defending for City’s goal was non league level, nothing to do with great City play.

[Insidious]

Well obviously Sid yes but the defending for City’s goal was non league level, nothing to do with great City play.

Nah I know, it was terrible - just adding general passing comment at those (myself included!) wishfully thinking Sheffield United might nick a draw today.

[miller0863]

Aye. Would be lightening striking twice in a week mind.
Only chance is that City get bored and think it’s won, get sloppy and Sheff Utd get a set piece or penalty. They really look terrible at both ends today, the transfer in of Brewster for £26m looks more and more weird with every passing game.

[miller0863]

Last kick of the game completed a terrible weekend for the Liverpool youth set up.

U18’s
Man City 4-2 Liverpool

U23’s
Liverpool 3-6 Man Utd

10 goals shipped in one afternoon, grief.

[Steveo]

West Brom - should be at least 2 probably 3 down - equalise out of nothing.

A first goal for Fat Sam since he took over at the Hawthorns

[miller0863]

WBA 1-1 Fulham

[miller0863]

Palace 1-0 Wolves
Eze 60 mins

[miller0863]

Completely different game in the second half.
WBA 2-1 Fulham

[Insidious]

Completely different game in the second half.
WBA 2-1 Fulham

It's all happening just below Brighton in the table at the moment.

Would be hilarious if we got an unexpected favour from them tomorrow against Spurs.

[ianlfc]

Last kick of the game completed a terrible weekend for the Liverpool youth set up.

U18’s
Man City 4-2 Liverpool

U23’s
Liverpool 3-6 Man Utd

10 goals shipped in one afternoon, grief.

I'd to go out at 4-2 ,Utd stepped it up in the 2nd half. Based on that game I doubt we'll see either Van de berg or Billy the kid making the first team any time soon.

[miller0863]

WBA 2-2 Fulham
Been a decent game, really could go either way

[Insidious]

No Tierney, Saka or Aubameyang in the Arsenal squad today.

Three of their best. The red Mancs are the jammiest lot going!

[Kev0909]

WBA 2-2 Fulham
Been a decent game, really could go either way

Yes the championship level do have some quality games

[ianlfc]

No Tierney, Saka or Aubameyang in the Arsenal squad today.

Three of their best. The red Mancs are the jammiest lot going!

Bloody hell. The luck never stops for that lot.

[Kev0909]

Draw doesn't really help wba or fulham, they better hope Brighton don't pick up more points any time soon.

will be surprised if that bot 3 changes, even this early still in the season I think they're doomed

[miller0863]

Aye, lucky bastards as ever, Ole admitted in his last interview they’ve had no injuries themselves, whereas those around them or those they play always seem to be struggling with missing players

[Insidious]

Bloody hell. The luck never stops for that lot.

It's truly bonkers.

Had considered watching that game on the back of Arsenal having 4 wins and a draw from their last 5 matches but doubt I will now.

[ianlfc]

The fat lady is clearing her throat in Scotland. Celtic beat again.

[ianlfc]

It's truly bonkers.

Had considered watching that game on the back of Arsenal having 4 wins and a draw from their last 5 matches but doubt I will now.

I'll give it a watch ,there's f all else to do !!

[Steveo]

That is ridiculous. They got us twice while we were very vulnerable and now Arsenal minus their 3 key players this season.

You do wonder if their name is on it

[justme]

Nah man-city are going to win it.. lets not forget they lost to Sheff-united in midweek..

[Kev0909]

That is ridiculous. They got us twice while we were very vulnerable and now Arsenal minus their 3 key players this season.

You do wonder if their name is on it

Yeah, bit like shef utd as they beat man utd too, you do wonder if shef utd name is on it

of course it fucking aint man city have name on it if anything

[ianlfc]

I've only seen him a few times but I really like that Martinelli at Arsenal.

[Steveo]

I've only seen him a few times but I really like that Martinelli at Arsenal.

Stood out against us in the cup game last season.

[southernboy]

Fucking pathetic from Rashford.

[RedNoodle]

Fucking pathetic from Rashford.

Trashford MBE (Massive Bell End).

[RedNoodle]

Fernandes then goes 'looking' for a penalty.

[Steveo]

Lacca finds an ocean of space.. has options right and left but shoots from distance right at the keeper.

Earlier - Fernandes somehow avoided a booking for a stud rake on the achilles of an Arsenal player - VAR reviewed but nowt doing

[LEGS]

Booking just saw it on twitter some players would be sent off for it.

[Steveo]

Booking just saw it on twitter some players would be sent off for it.

Yep

[boom-klopp]

mctominay looks like he came out of a wind tunnel

[boom-klopp]

fernandes does the old payet trick of falling over anywhere around 25 yards or less for free kicks.

any chance he gets, he’s going down. payet was more effective.

it’s a disgusting tactic from well known cheats.

[GizmoD12]

Why wasn't he booked after xhaka tackle

[RedNoodle]

How the hell was Penandes not booked (at least) after VAR looked at that incident?

[GizmoD12]

That is ridiculous. They got us twice while we were very vulnerable and now Arsenal minus their 3 key players this season.

You do wonder if their name is on it

Not a fuckin chance, with maguire and wanba Sacha gash.

[RedNoodle]

F-me!!! I see Man City won by scoring yet another of their snoozefest goals i.e. out wide for someone to get to the byline whereby they play a low ball across the box, which a player then taps in from just in front of the goal.

They are going to win the league scoring that same goal over and over and over again, yet the media will continue to cream themselves over them and the likes of KDB and $t£rling in particular, and will make out they play beautiful football.

[Kev0909]

Why on earth has he put Willian on?

[RedNoodle]

Why on earth has he put Willian on?

By the looks of things so he can come off injured a few minutes later.

[Balinkay]

Holy fucking balls, how lucky are United?!?!

[Steveo]

Beckham’s bad boy cousin?

[miller0863]

Utd get away with so many dark arts fouls it’s ridiculous. Maguire pulling the Kane move on Lacazette nearly breaking his neck, foul to Utd... of course. Football referees are bloody clueless

[justme]

borinngggg

[Insidious]

We'll take that result.

If we can conjure up a win tomorrow (difficult but not at all impossible) we're just 1 point behind the Mancs.

Would mean we had clawed from being 6 points behind to being one point behind over 2 rounds of fixtures. Which would be an excellent return with the City fixture looming.

[teesred]

2 points from the last 9.
Phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhttttttttttt.
That was the sound of their January title win.
Not a prayer they were ever winning it.
We'll finish above them, I have no doubts whatsoever.

[Steveo]

Yes Sid - but like I mentioned pre Burnley - a win is far from guaranteed. Counting up points before you have them is a recipe for disaster..

[ianlfc]

But but but, they were going to win the League last week !!

[LFC-DPG]

We'll take that result.

City are the ones we need to drop points but the way the opposition are almost throwing the ball in the back of their own net it’s not looking likely

Still if we can win tomorrow it puts us right back in there.

[Steveo]

But but but, they were going to win the League last week !!

Technically impossible as the season runs to April at the earliest.. :D. :D

[Steveo]

City are the ones we need to drop points but the way the opposition are almost throwing the ball in the back of their own net it’s not looking likely

Still if we can win tomorrow it puts us right back in there.

Absolutely - if we take care of our games - we can count them up in April and see where we are.

[teesred]

They're the definition of a shithouse football one man team. No goals or assists in 6 for Bruno.
And Pogbas world class run was short and sweet.

[LEGS]

2 points from the last 9.
Phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhttttttttttt.
That was the sound of their January title win.
Not a prayer they were ever winning it.
We'll finish above them, I have no doubts whatsoever.

Nah they beat Fulham after us mate.

Neville got too obsessed with us with his bottle of bubbly after they took the lead off us, seems he forgot about his own city rivals.

[Balinkay]

Yes Sid - but like I mentioned pre Burnley - a win is far from guaranteed. Counting up points before you have them is a recipe for disaster..

We used to do a lot of this. A LOT.

We shouldn't.

[Steveo]

Southampton v Villa up now...should be a corker...

[miller0863]

Looking forward to this one, just hoping for a good game.

[Steveo]

An Ings cross blocked by Mings. then Ings with some superb play - sets one up - looks a handball by Villa - VAR Looking at a poss penalty to The Saints - not given.

[miller0863]

That really should have been given, he was far enough away and he moved his arm away from his body. I thought it was a pen, the commentary team were expecting a pen ... more absolutely woeful officiating and misuse of VAR.
If there is a top European league with weaker officials than the Premier League I really pity them.

[ianlfc]

We used to do a lot of this. A LOT.

We shouldn't.
TBF ,for 2 whole seasons we hardly dropped a point never mind get beat.

[miller0863]

Against the run of play, Berkeley heads in the opener.
Southampton 0-1 Villa

[eggy81]

I really love Grealish as a player. He’s absolute quality.
How was that pen not given.

[miller0863]

Two Villa players run into each other in their own penalty area and get a free kick.
I despair about the refereeing I really do.

[miller0863]

Che Adams through one on one but the Villa keeper makes an excellent save

[eggy81]

Villa getting some favourable decisions. Again the keeper seemed to drop that ball under little pressure. Free out.

[eggy81]

The rules of football are absolutely all over the shop.

[Kev0909]

Villa getting some favourable decisions. Again the keeper seemed to drop that ball under little pressure. Free out.

Sounds like southampton can't finish at all too.. bit like are recent games (apart from the last).... I suppose that is refs fault too

[miller0863]

Excellent point blank stop again from the Villa keeper with two blocks by defenders on the follow ups. Southampton do deserve a point from this one.

[miller0863]

17 attempts to Villa’s 7 and 63% possession to Southampton

[eggy81]

That ref is stupid. No a fecking clue what he’s looking at.

[miller0863]

Ings adjudged offside by the band on his sleeve after thinking he’d equalised in the 93rd minute. So unlucky Southampton tonight, Villa really rode their luck and the keeper had a very good game.

[eggy81]

Ings adjudged offside by the band on his sleeve after thinking he’d equalised in the 93rd minute. So unlucky Southampton tonight, Villa really rode their luck and the keeper had a very good game.

No way should that be offside.

[miller0863]

F/T Southampton 0-1 Villa
Var should have awarded a penalty to Southampton but didn’t and then ruled out a Southampton equaliser by the most ridiculous of narrow margins.

[justme]

So the man in broom cupboard in stockley park. will decide to over turn or ask for the on field ref to look at something when it suits him?

[miller0863]

Yep, that’s about the size of it.

[miller0863]

As with at Brighton, one of ours goes down from contact in the box, “you’re not going to get a penalty for that ...” one of theirs goes down through less contact at the other end..”oooh there was slight contact there VAR will look at that and rightly give a penalty !”

[eggy81]

This game is a mess. Var has absolutely ruined it completely.

[miller0863]

Totally agree

[miller0863]

The arm being offside is a nonsense too, should just go from feet, you shouldn’t be offside from leaning or pointing

[LEGS]

The arm being offside is a nonsense too, should just go from feet, you shouldn’t be offside from leaning or pointing

Agreed as you know someone is going to score with ball hitting above elbow and it will get ruled out.

[Insidious]

Yes Sid - but like I mentioned pre Burnley - a win is far from guaranteed. Counting up points before you have them is a recipe for disaster..

Hence "if" :) As in "if" we can conjure up a result tomorrow.

Let's hope we can, as it would be great for us.

Heart says late push League win, head says I'd take 2nd-4th and a quarter-final or further in the Champion's League.

See how it all pans out. Think once we play that first Leipzig match the season is going to absolutely fly in so hopefully there are some fun moments along the way as the first half of the season largely felt like like wading through water rather than sprinting. I just hope Jota returns in good nick and 2/3 of the front three can be in reasonable form simultaneously as I'd back us to outscore opposition more often than not in those circumstances.

[Kev0909]

predicted a draw but I think we'll win, luckily we have enough upfront for teams to be scared to attack us much, or very nervous too, so the CB's dont get got at as much as other teams.

any brave team that actually goes for it, we'd see a very high scoring game i'd imagine

Bit like the old barca in a way, but they just dominated the ball, there's a reason wee mascherano ended up playing CB for them

[Kev0909]

"Manchester United look frightened of title battle, says Roy Keane after goalless draw at Arsenal"

Why do people think they're even in a title battle?? just because they got some wins together and pogba was class for 2 games???

apart from that they've been dire to watch and aren't very good.. shows you how shite everyone else has been

they're not winning the title this season, I bet my life on it.

[Insidious]

they're not winning the title this season, I bet my life on it.

LFC Online Cluedo.

"It was Nineteenx, in the Boot Room, using the Carra....I mean, the knife".

[miller0863]

Utd are where they are with an injury free squad, playing at their absolute peak. We are at our lowest ebb with an injury devastated squad and there’s nothing in it. We are streets ahead of them and hopefully that’s where we’ll finish.

Injuries or not, I would consider anything worse than second (and only if behind City) as a failure

[teesred]

They never were despite some guys shitting their pants about it. Theyre miles away, only reason they are in and around is because of this shit season.
They are bang average shithouse.

[Insidious]

Utd are where they are with an injury free squad, playing at their absolute peak. We are at our lowest ebb with an injury devastated squad and there’s nothing in it

Particularly true if (if!) we manage a win tomorrow.

As nerve-wracking as it would be for us for a brief spell, I'm hoping Leicester and maybe Everton or Tottenham can get a result or two soon, whilst United are looking nervously behind them. They can definitely be "dragged down" as it were into a scrap for Top Four very quickly - and possibly even miss out on the Champion's League - if only a couple of little points-swings fall the right way while they try to juggle the Europa League.

Knowing their luck though they're perfectly capable of getting 3rd and Europa. The margins always seem so fine with their lot - 66 points two seasons in a row got them totally different League positions.

[LEGS]

Im not looking at United at all its small time my only concern is we get top 4 that is ALL that matters.

City are going to romp it as I have said all season.

Who cares if they do they are a nothing club and its an asterisk anyway.

Football without fans is shit and shouldnt be played.

[Insidious]

Im not looking at United at all its small time my only concern is we get top 4 that is ALL that matters.

I'm obsessed with hunting down whoever is in second spot and at the minute that's the red Mancs. I suspect by 4pm tomorrow it will be Leicester as they should beat Leeds - and so on.

Obviously if we manage to get points as required and get close then gaining on top spot would be huge, but given City have 6(?) in a row at the moment when we have won our first game in 5 or 6 matches they're sadly just not the main target right now, though I obviously have everything crossed that can change.

[redebreck]

This game is a mess. Var has absolutely ruined it completely.

Absolutely. Officials ruining it.
Look how much money is now involved.

[justme]

Just seen the Southampton penalty claim. what the fuck?? that was clear handball. Just looked the VAR was Mike Dean. says it all really

[miller0863]

Opening half hour at Stamford Bridge, Burnley look decent and progressive though struggling to create real chances. Chelsea nervous and disjointed with just a couple of pass backs to Pope. One comedy moment from Werner when presented with a shooting chance in the box, he hit it against his standing leg and it went behind him.
Chelsea 0-0 Burnley 30 mins gone

[Steveo]

Azpilicueta scores

1:0 first goal for the rent boys under the Tuchas..

[miller0863]

Azpilicueta gets on the end of a Chelsea break and puts the home team in front on 40.
Chelsea 1-0 Burnley
This Chelsea team are full of divers and screamers.

[Steveo]

Sorry - didn’t know where to put this.

It’s a bit shit I know but also a bit hilarious too.


https://youtu.be/TiMTxRNla9M

[Steveo]

Burnley have done well so far - 70 mins played
0 attempts
0 shots on target
33% of the ball

[miller0863]

Alonso makes it 2-0 with Chelsea’s 20th attempt on goal.
Despite Burnley’s huff and puff they are yet to register even a single attempt on goal.

[Kev0909]

Alonso makes it 2-0 with Chelsea’s 20th attempt on goal.
Despite Burnley’s huff and puff they are yet to register even a single attempt on goal.

Still feel if chelsea can put some wins together they can be in the mix for top4 again quite easily

Sacking of lampard will be classed as a masterstroke then.

[ianlfc]

They weren't much better against us, Just very lucky.

[Kev0909]

spurs v chelsea will be a big game top4 wise, chelsea can't lose that really

[miller0863]

Leicester 1-0 Leeds
Barnes (13 mins)

[miller0863]

Leicester 1-1 Leeds
Dallas (15 mins)

[Steveo]

They weren't much better against us, Just very lucky.

To be fair to them they were much more of a threat at Anfield.

6 shots and 4 on target against us - we had 6 on target.

V Chelsea today - just the 1 shot with 0 on target, - Chelsea had 8... can’t get that much worse really.

[miller0863]

It was actually a looping header from a 94th minute corner that went high and wide rather than a shot.
You also have to give credit to the defensive side of Chelsea’s game for that stat.

[Steveo]

Yep - they didn’t give them a sniff. It will take time naturally but Tuchel has been gifted a superb squad of players.

It was Madness to give such a high profile job to Fat Frank

[Steveo]

Bamford with a corker - instinctive strike - 1:2 Leeds

[miller0863]

Superb finish by Bamford puts Leeds in front
Leicester 1-2 Leeds
Bamford (70 minutes)

[Steveo]

Leicester have gone so close 3 times within minutes. Leeds goal living a charmed life just now

[Steveo]

Foxes caught out hopelessly - looking for an equaliser, Leeds break its 2 v 0 and it’s a lovely lay off by Bamford to supply his team mate to slot into an empty net!

1:3 Leeds.

Good result for us

[miller0863]

Leeds break from a corner Bamford squared it for a tap in and it’s 3-1 Leeds.
Leicester also dropping points again.

[justme]

Haa what was going on there?? no one back at all for Leicester. It was like the lights on but no ones home.

[justme]

I hope Man-city go for Rodgers when Baldy leaves. Rodgers is an ok manager but he will never achieve anything (imo)

[Nineteenx]

Foxes caught out hopelessly - looking for an equaliser, Leeds break its 2 v 0 and it’s a lovely lay off by Bamford to supply his team mate to slot into an empty net, just as Origi should have done for Mane v Burnley!

1:3 Leeds.

Good result for us

Fixed that for you

[Kev0909]

Christ we've got some luck on are side with the results!!!!!!

top 4 wide open tbh!!! chelsea will end up being there I reckon

[Steveo]

Fixed that for you

Gee thanks..

Seriously. Don’t you think you might just be being the teeny tiniest bit hard on the lad? I mean he barely gets a kick - he smashed it too hard with a chance he had every right to take BUT which he should have scored from. He hit the bar - it bounced out.

Watch Frozen.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Brighton really taking it to the Spuds.
Not sitting on their laurels after taking a 1-0 lead; meanwhile Spurs really confirming the perception that they are indeed a one man team and when that man is out injured, they seem to struggle for ideas up front.

It's going to be a mighty rough next couple of weeks for them with Kane out injured and their upcoming fixture list.

[miller0863]

Spurs second best so far.

[Kev0909]

there was me thinking it would be a dull 0-0 due to how spurs play and brighton not scoring many and thinking they'd sit back too, maybe they will give us a game when they play us and try and attack unlike spurs/west ham

[Steveo]

Brighton have totally bossed Spurs from the first whistle. Only 1:0 though

[Nineteenx]

Spurs getting bummed again, there was a trait last season that sides suffered a patchy run for a few games after we bummed them

[Crimson Dynasty]

Spurs second best so far.

So what you're really saying is that the best team is 1-0 down?

(translated from the original Mourinhospeak)

[miller0863]

Aye
H/T Brighton 1-0 Spurs

[Crimson Dynasty]

Brighton really should be 2 or 3-0 up after how they bossed that first half.

They'll be really disappointed in themselves.


Guys,.......
I think we broke the Spurs.

[jr81]

Brighton really should be 2 or 3-0 up after how they bossed that first half.

They'll be really disappointed in themselves.


Guys,.......
I think we broke the Spurs.

We have Brighton next. Let's hope we put up a better showing.. We owe them after that dodgy pen decision in the last game we played.

[Kev0909]

Bale's good aint he? great signing even on loan for them.

If spurs had someone like rodgers, or a manager who knows good football, they might be dangerous, and if they spent money on said players instead of a washed up injury prone player in Bale for nostalgia reasons. (ok it's only wages or whatever but it's still setting them back a good amount)

he doesn't even give Alli a chance, he's wasting his career there, it's like anyone apart from Son and kane who can play football gets binned off

Long may it continue hate spurs due to the manager and football they play, it's horrible to watch and so negative and pathetic, I feel for the fans.

Spurs get a bumming again

This is what happens to teams when we bum them, they go on a very bad run

[Insidious]

Watched Attenborough and am only now seeing the Spurs score.

So even if they won their game in hand, we have a 4-point cushion to keep us in the Champion's League spots a while longer.

Good stuff given the picture some were envisaging just a couple of weeks ago. Grow that gap and we're laughing. Hopefully we can manage a complication-free win at Brighton to keep the fanbase nice and chilled.

It's amazing what a couple of capitalisations of opportunities can do when those around us drop points. Just two rounds of fixtures ago we were 6 points off 2nd spot - now we have it down to a solitary point.

So pleased.

[miller0863]

Next two at Anfield so that should help towards 6 more points. Win the next two and we are back in the title race

"We may as well have Steve Bruce in charge. The football is terrible, the team don’t know what to do and the morale is low.

If it wasn’t for the final I’d fuck off Jose now"

"If someone started a go fund me right now we'd probably have his buyout paid in 5 minutes."
"Can you please get the fuck out of our football club."

"team is so drilled to defend, play on the counter, and hoof it long, that they seem clueless as to how to create, pass and move. Jose has coached the life out of them.

I think there is a lot of discontent in that dressing room. Top 4 is looking a pipe dream."

hahahaha

he doesn't even give Alli a chance, he's wasting his career there

50 goals in 160 Premier League appearances and age-wise has plenty of time on his side.

I know he hasn't been at the peak of his powers over the last couple of years, but under the right Manager there's a serious addition to a team's attacking output just waiting to be utilised there.

Where to go though?

[Kev0909]

If I was jose i'd stick him upfront while Kane is out, better than what they have

Yep he is done at Spurs though whilst Mourinho is there.

Bale is done as a top level player they paid loads to take him on loan and never play or bring him on.

[miller0863]

Bale was a waste of a shirt today, they’ve been fleeced.
Shame.

Bloody hell, for some reason I thought it was City away.

Was comical how fast he wanted to get off when he was subbed.

[Kev0909]

they're at home to chelsea next

on recent performances I'd say chelsea are favs, big game for the new manager win that, you're back in the top4 race.

For a second there I thought you were quoting posts from here after the Burnley game.

[ianlfc]

I think this could be it for Jose in England, he's had his day.

Hahaha a lot less hate for Klopp than Jose!!

The worse their Domestic situation gets, the more pressure they'll be under to win the Europa League.

If they don't get Champion's League qualification, will Mourinho be pushed?

[Steveo]

That would be a good situation for us if it came to pass.

That lovely new ground needs Champions league money.

Absolutely - Spurs having to go through yet another transitional phase would be great - as much as Liverpool FC keeping itself in order is what matters, when I think of the long-term Dynasty-build and opponents attempting to gain on us, I love seeing clubs either not getting Top Four regularly (Arsenal) or flitting in and out (United, Chelsea) - if I could pick two sides I'd (realistically) like to see miss out on the top spots, Spurs and Man United would probably too the list.

Not impossible that those two draw each other in the Europa at some stage and kick lumps out of each other.

[Steveo]

Absolutely want both of them vanquished
