The Other Midweek Games 02/02/21

[miller0863]

Right on half time Wolves get a very contentious penalty and even more significantly David Luiz a red card. Looked unintentional as the forward drew his foot back to shoot and his foot caught Sideshow Bob’s knee and down he went. VAR backed up the referee...of course.

[GlassHalfFull]

It's an absolute age since I've been on here and I've just seen your post count!! Just passing by but thought I'd say hello!

[miller0863]

Hey GHF how goes it?

It looks a lot but I only average 3-4 a day.

[GlassHalfFull]

I'm good thanks mate, pretty certain you were already a member when I joined back in the day, I drifted over from the old TTWAR forum before they went to pastures new

[miller0863]

Joined back in 2003, this is the only social media I really bother with.

[GlassHalfFull]

Can see a lot of the same names from when I was last around. Is everyone still arguing?! :glee:

[GlassHalfFull]

Joined back in 2003, this is the only social media I really bother with.

See it's been that long since I was last on I've forgotten it tells you that info any every single post!

[miller0863]

Generally everyone gets along pretty well.
19X he of the infamous “Mirror Training” thread, is still here provoking much heated debate.
REG got himself banned and came back under a different name, then became a mod, which was quite amusing. Seems to have dropped off in the last 12-18 months, just pops back on now and again to tell a few people what dick wads they are and disappears again, no change there.

[miller0863]

F/T Sheff Utd 2-1 WBA
Fat boy on his way down.

Arsenal down to 9 men after Leno sent off for hand ball

[GlassHalfFull]

Oh for the days of Mirror Training! REG as a mod, hmmmm.... pity I missed that!

[Insidious]

3 wins in the last 5 for Sheffield United.

They couldn't, could they? Brighton you'd imagine are just a smidge too far, with a 10-point gap plus game in hand?

[RedNoodle]

What an idiot Jankewitz is.

[LFC-DPG]

FFS ! Saints had a good chance to take points off United. Not now

[LEGS]

Stupid challenge cant argue with that decision.

[RedNoodle]

FFS ! Saints had a good chance to take points off United. Not now

I shouldn't have bothered to get up and tune in.

[justme]

Stupid challenge cant argue with that decision.

3 mins in and we are playing the Saints. you think Dean would have given a red??

[miller0863]

2 minute mark of both 8:15 kick offs, Jankewitz gets himself sent off at Old Trafford (total dick) and Jonjo Shelvey puts Newcastle 1-0 up against Palace.

[LEGS]

3 mins in and we are playing the Saints. you think Dean would have given a red??

If that was on our player i'd want a red because it is one.

[justme]

If that was on our player i'd want a red because it is one.

I still havent gotten over the Barkley challenge on Henderson. That Dean ignored.. I just think he would have given a yellow to the Southampton player if we were the opponents. But yes nailed on red card.

[miller0863]

Wan Bissaka puts Utd 1-0 up in the 18th minute running off the back of Ings.

[RedNoodle]

I think I'm going to watch the Newcastle game instead.

[miller0863]

Ruedewald equaliser for Palace

Newcastle 1-1 Palace

[RedNoodle]

And just as I do Palace equalise.

Right, blow the FT whistle please ref.

[miller0863]

With you Noods, no interest in the Utd procession. They should get 3 or 4.

[justme]

I think an early night is called for :D arrivederci amigos

[teesred]

I'd fine him a weeks wages for that red card. Absolute blatant stupidity. Hes handed them the points on a plate.

[miller0863]

Surely there should be some come back on him from the club.

[LEGS]

2-1 Palace

[miller0863]

Cahill header from a corner
Newcastle 1-2 Palace

[miller0863]

Rashford makes it 2-0

[RedNoodle]

Rashford makes it 2-0

Stop torturing yourself.

[miller0863]

Og 3-0

Not watching it just keeping an eye on the score

[miller0863]

Cavani 4-0. Utd are one bunch of lucky mothers.

[RedNoodle]

Cavani 4-0. Utd are one bunch of lucky mothers.

I was going to say the same. The reason they are called "The Red Devils" is because not only did they sell their soul to him, they also hired him for twenty odd years.

[miller0863]

Southampton have the ball in the net but ruled out for offside by VAR
Of course it is ...

[miller0863]

Two goals in two minutes for the jammy twats 6-0

[miller0863]

Watching second half sub Saint Maximin playing for Newcastle, if he can stay fit he’s way too good for them.

[miller0863]

They’ve had it all in this one.

Red card for the opposition on 2 minutes
Og by the opposition from a pass
Penalty
And a second red card for the opposition

7-0

[RedNoodle]

They are saying that Martial dived. Did he? If so I'm not surprised he got awarded a penalty rather than being booked.

Penchester United. Spawn of the devil.

[miller0863]

8-0

[Kev0909]

8-0 lol

[miller0863]

Motm Mike Dean

[Kev0909]

nearly same GD as us now

[RedNoodle]

I'd hate to be the cleaner who has to deal with the 'mess' that Gary Neville has just created.

[Kev0909]

now the same GD as us 9

Southampton are a joke at times, 2nd 9-0 haha

[RedNoodle]

now the same GD as us 9

Southampton are a joke at times, 2nd 9-0 haha

A joke that we lost to. What does that make us?

[miller0863]

The boss must be under pressure again, his second 9-0.
3 conceded from the 88th minute, poor Taki.

[Crimson Dynasty]

LOL!!

The league is determined for these Scum to win the title.
In just one game they've closed the goal difference gap between us.

It's not like they needed the help, guys.

I guess after they saw that we seemed to have picked up our form back up again after the weekend wins in London, something had to be done.

What a joke this is.

[justme]

Dean can send someone for a certain thing.. but after several replays he cant award a penalty to Southampton against Villa.

[RedNoodle]

The boss must be under pressure again, his second 9-0.
3 conceded from the 88th minute, poor Taki.

It's the same as with us. If you play a high pressing game you cannot afford to leave spaces for the opposition to run into. They were already having issues with the likes of their FB's as it was, never mind with having two players sent off.

[LEGS]

A joke that we lost to. What does that make us?

Yeah bit easier against 10 men all game dont you think.

Secondly these lower half teams are going to be feeling it second half of the season with playing 3 games a week and little recovery time.

We should have got a penalty against em as well but of course we didnt.

The game was done after 2 mins with that stupid challenge.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Imagine such a result coming in the game immediately after Ole goes whining in the press that the Mancs need to "complain" more to get more calls in their favour (as if that was ever a problem for them).

This is the reason why most non-Manc fans in the league think there's always something fishy going on where this team is involved.

Crappenburg gave the game away in his article last week bashing Klopp talking about how referees were (and still are) awed by the "Ferguson" aura when reffing the Scum.

[justme]

Dean wouldnt have sent off the Saints player in the second minute if he was reffing our fixture.

[Kev0909]

Dean wouldnt have sent off the Saints player in the second minute if he was reffing our fixture.

Oh come on, it was dreadful

[teesred]

The January 2021 title winners are back!

[miller0863]

Don’t think I have ever seen so much go in favour of one team in a single game.

[teesred]

Oh come on, it was dreadful

Exactly. The stupid little fuckwitt. First premier league start, what the fuck was he thinking. I hope he gets railroaded.

[justme]

Oh come on, it was dreadful

Have you seen the challenge on Henderson from Barkley?? When i saw that. I knew Dean was a cheat when he refs us..

[justme]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j507PjoewZA

Terrible

[teesred]

Should get investigated that game. Something whiffy about them this season. No doubt about it.

[Nineteenx]

Saw the score earlier and thought very unfilthy and un Southampton then realised Saints had a player sent off after 2 mins

[Crimson Dynasty]

Don’t think I have ever seen so much go in favour of one team in a single game.

Imagine such a thing happening the day after Ole whines about United not getting enough calls and needing to complain more.

[miller0863]

If any other club tries that, the opposite happens

[Kev0909]

Have you seen the challenge on Henderson from Barkley?? When i saw that. I knew Dean was a cheat when he refs us..

wasn't that back before VAR? I do get you but there's no getting away from that tackle today in the 2nd min it was awful, I don't know what he was thinking was a easy red... worst tackle i've seen in ages

the rest of the decisions... well... I don't agree with em

[Nineteenx]

Imagine such a thing happening the day after Ole whines about United not getting enough calls and needing to complain more.

That's the filthy's way of saying "We're really struggling here and getting found out without your help in our games and our rivals we'll be out of this in 3 games, get back on it"

[Nineteenx]

If any other club tries that, the opposite happens

Also, it was the Glazers and FSG attempting the power grab, how come only we got battered for it by officials?

[teesred]

Also, it was the Glazers and FSG attempting the power grab, how come only we got battered for it by officials?

True that like.

[eggy81]

Just watched the quick highlights. They got decisions all over the place but it also looked like the saints were walking from 2-0. The goals were a joke some of them.

[HLOGI]

It was a red card don't think the ref did United a favor with that one.

Also a word on Southampton they have dropped ever since they celebrated like crazy after beating us. Hasenhuttel was very small time the way he reacted after the match. It was like they won a cup it was just 3 pts. This for me was similar to Troy Deeney taking a lap of hnour after they beat us 3-0. It is a lesson that you must give your best against everyone.

[LEGS]

Also, it was the Glazers and FSG attempting the power grab, how come only we got battered for it by officials?

That is what was reported but NONE of us organised the meeting that was by the bloke who got sacked Clarke ?

Also it wasnt just us two it was Spurs Arsenal Chelsea City too who were in the meeting.

Basically we both got hung out to dry but thats to be expected as we are both by far the biggest clubs.

[justme]

I never denied it was a stone wall sending off. just think it wouldnt have been given for us with certain refs.

[miller0863]

Can’t stand Owen and he’s now a former Manc but here’s his take on the Utd penalty last night.


"The best thing is it hardly matters. But if that’s a pen then the game has officially gone.

"Biggest example of a dive I’ve seen in ages. Shambles."

[skyebo]

He's spot on, and the game HAS gone, it went when they brought VAR in.

[miller0863]

Christ on a bike.
Should put money in it every single game.
Pope flaps the ball to Jesus and it’s 1-0 City inside 3 minutes

[Kev0909]

what the fuck pope?

well that's game over

[miller0863]

Fulham 0-1 Leicester
Iheanacho 22 mins

[miller0863]

Game over
Burnley 0-2 City
Sterling tap in.


City facing Burnley without their two main strikers from an already pitifully threadbare squad.

As I type Vydra fires wide from a one on one.

Not the Burnley side that won at Anfield
just as that bore no resemblance to the Southampton side that beat us, at old Trafford last night.

[Kev0909]

to be fair they're without aguero most of season and KDB too atm

I feel like we're going to have to beat these if we want a chance of title

bit worried who city are going to replace aguero with, i can see it happening in the summer

[skyebo]

I agree, they would be happy with a draw, we need to win. A loss is unthinkable.

[LEGS]

Looking at our squad id be happy with a draw too !

First things first we HAVE to win tonight.

[miller0863]

Leicester 2-0 up at Fulham, they’re still hanging on in the top four race.

[miller0863]

City are pulling Burnley all over the place at the moment, they’re doing well to keep it to 2, no way it will be after 90 minutes.

[southernboy]

Christ on a bike.

Did you really expect Pope to deny Jesus? :D

[miller0863]

Ba bum tish!!

Nice SB

"Southampton request Mike Dean and Lee Mason do not officiate games"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55922560

How many corrupt officials can we ask the league to avoid our games?

[miller0863]

City making Burnley look really third rate.

Which generally speaking shouldn’t be too difficult

[ianlfc]

How was that kick on Jesus no a penalty but the kick from Robbo on Wellbeck was ?

[redebreck]

see post #88 on this thread

[Kev0909]

city should of had a penalty clear as day

[miller0863]

Tap in for Sigurdsson on 10 minutes
Leeds 0-1 Everton

[miller0863]

Because the officials are playing God and not doing their jobs in consistently applying the laws of the game.

[Nineteenx]

How was that kick on Jesus no a penalty but the kick from Robbo on Wellbeck was ?

Robbo didn't even kick Wellcack, the outstep of his right foot clipped the side of Wellcack's outstep, he didn't whack him, or kick through his foot, never ever a penalty in a million years

[justme]

The Robbo thing wasnt even given by the ref it was the tosser in the VAR room that decided it was.. yet they dont give Southampton a clear handball the other day against Villa. Officials are straight has a winding road.

[miller0863]

Looks like the teams at the top end are have a good midweek. We need to keep pace.

Leeds 0-2 Everton
Calvert Lewin 41 mins

[miller0863]

Leeds 1-2 Everton

Who cares.

Thread closed.

[Kev0909]

Who cares.

Thread closed.

well we'll need to care for that 4th spot!

we're going back to them days, could be worse mind

[Kev0909]

Huge game tomorrow, spurs v chelsea

Chelsea miles ahead 0-1 penno awful by dier what a shitter kicks werner's foot

[ianlfc]

The Spurs owners would've known what they were getting before they brought Jose in. And his football hasn't disappointed that theory.

[Steveo]

Chelsea dominating them - hmm Jose has a very decent squad - if he can’t do better than this he is finished on these shores.

Chelsea are officially back in the top4 race, no thanks to us too of course.
