The Weekend’s Other Games 06/02

[miller0863]

Villa 1-0 Arsenal
Watkins 2 minutes... yadda yadda blah blah blahhhh.


Still totally deflated by the incredible lack of quality, energy and invention from our last outing so not really arsed about anyone else til we properly get our shit together to be honest.

[ianlfc]

Villa are having a great season.

[Kev0909]

Villa are having a great season.

I like that watkins, would of been a better option than Origi anyway...

[ianlfc]

I like that watkins, would of been a better option than Origi anyway...

Yeah he looked good while at Brentford as well.

Taki starts for Southampton live on bt1.

[southernboy]

How the fuck did Arsenal not get a penalty? David Coote was on VAR so no great surprise.

[miller0863]

Newcastle 1-0 Southampton
Willock 16 mins

[miller0863]

Newcastle 2-0 Southampton
Bednarek 26 mins, second og in 3 days

[southernboy]

Newcastle now lead 2-0. Not sure what the defender was doing, but his touch ended up in the back of his own net. Southampton looking really low on confidence. They could do with another game against us.

[southernboy]

Why the fuck didn’t we persevere with Minamino after the palace game?

[miller0863]

Wahoo Taki with a belter on his debut

Newcastle 2-1 Southampton
Taki 29 mins

[LFC-DPG]

Great goal

We could do with a player like that.

[LFC-DPG]

Why the fuck didn’t we persevere with Minamino after the palace game?

That’s what happens isn’t it. Player starts playing well and showing promise then he’s dropped

[ianlfc]

That Vestergard is bloody huge.

[southernboy]

That’s what happens isn’t it. Player starts playing well and showing promise then he’s dropped

It was just bizarre that we needed some energy and drive in the final third, but the likes of Oxlaide-Chamberlain and Jones were getting picked ahead of Minamino. We’re obviously not in possession of all the facts but it seemed like a strange way to treat a player that had just scored his first goal and was starting to show some of his ability.

I really hope he does well at Southampton

3-1

[miller0863]

Almeron takes advantage of a poor ball out from Mcarthy in the Southampton goal on half time.
Newcastle 3-1 Southampton

[ianlfc]

How the fuck did Southampton beat us !!

[ianlfc]

Freiburg are beating Dortmund 2-0.

[Steveo]

How the fuck did Southampton beat us !!

Think that was the game when I said we could play all night and we wouldn’t score.

[ianlfc]

Think that was the game when I said we could play all night and we wouldn’t score.

There's been a few of them mate.

[Jenson78]

Last season Klopp had beef with Shaq. This season decided Minamino is the pantomime villian. Injury hit season, Minamino should not of been sent out on loan, especially to a team that beat us, sour grapes an all. Probably only done to cover 500k spent on Davies. No way players like Ox,Keita, will stay fit until end of season.

[Steveo]

Vydra so close to giving Burnley the lead over Brighton - goes with the wrong foot and keeper blocks it.

[eggy81]

Ox in particular just isn’t good enough either IMO.

[miller0863]

Newcastle 3-2 Southampton
Burnley 1-1 Brighton

[Kev0909]

newcastle did great considering injury's in 1st half then red card and another injury and had to play with 9 men

what a performance... minamino obviously ain't that great!! yeah he scored...... but still... looks like he's never going to fit in and get a chance here so no point going on about him

[skyebo]

You can't do much more than score in your first game.

[Kev0909]

You can't do much more than score in your first game.

he's gone get over it, he's not going to be the sudden solution to are problems because he scored a goal for southampton

gonna hear this for rest of season zzzzzzzz

"Minimanio is fast improving" thread maaybe? or maybe demise of southampton?

I guess Klopp has no idea what he's doing eh, Bruce in

[Steveo]

Didn’t Willock score too - on loan from Arsenal

EDIT: Yes Joe Willock scored the first goal of the game - for Newcastle. Players often do score on their debut.

[miller0863]

Contentious red card for Soucek at the death. Claims he didn’t intentionally elbow Mitrovic in the face but after 40 VAR replays the ref was left wondering why he raised his elbow in the first place.

Anyway that was all that happened of note in a pretty dire encounter at the Cottage.

Fulham 0-0 West Ham

[Steveo]

Even Mitrovic was asking the ref not to send him off.

96 minutes - it is a painful one but totally accidental - joke decision NUTS.. Madness

[southernboy]

Another club that will be asking for Mike Dean never to referee their games again.

[Kev0909]

Good for us, west ham miss chance to go above us.

[ianlfc]

The Mike Dean show.

[southernboy]

Shocking marking lets Cavani score at the far post.

[miller0863]

Utd 1-0 Everton
Utd’s version of Divock Origi gives Utd the lead on 25 minutes. Doesn’t always start because of age and one or two niggling injuries but when on the pitch he’s always a genuine threat.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Utd 1-0 Everton
Utd’s version of Divock Origi gives Utd the lead on 25 minutes. Doesn’t always start because of age and one or two niggling injuries but when on the pitch he’s always a genuine threat.

That doesn't sound like our version of Origi at all.
(at least not for some time now)


I do not recognize that version of Origi.
I'd love to have that version of Origi on our team.
One that actually can score, and is actually an impact sub and genuine threat.

[CCTV]

Are Everton supposed to have a rivalry with Manchester ?

[miller0863]

Apart from the age bit.
He’s basically their first reserve striker, as Origi continues to be for us in Jota’s absence, only Origi is totally ineffective and Cavani isn’t

[miller0863]

Kinell Richarleson really is shite. Beats his man in the penalty area, the goal gaping for a shot and the dick spittle turns back outside straight into the defender he’s just left behind.
Utd go straight down the other end and Fernandes scores Utd’s second.

Utd 2-0 Everton
45 gone

[Kev0909]

Like west ham, at least the mighty everton stay below us instead of creeping up next to us with game in hand

Penandes scores a wonderful goal, shit aint he

[miller0863]

Time for the top four to put some distance between themselves and fifth.

[Kev0909]

Time for the top four to put some distance between themselves and fifth.

Hopefully it's not top3 after tomorrow ;)

[eggy81]

As of now they’re a better side than us unfortunately.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Time for the top four to put some distance between themselves and fifth.

That depends.
Does the #4 team really want to?

It's not really playing like it.

[eggy81]

Maybe not. Hamez to me looks like a player who hates the competitive stuff.

[Kev0909]

2-2 lol

[eggy81]

Ha ha. My last 2 posts instantly jinxed it. One after the other.

[Crimson Dynasty]

'Why the hell couldn't we beat these*?

Episode #4,502

(*and by 'these' I mean both versions of the shite)

[miller0863]

Switched it off at half time :rolleyes:

[Crimson Dynasty]

You've got to love the Betway ad that's just been run while Ole's face was on screen.

Their marketing tagline....PERFECT for this team.

"A card worth diving for"

I wonder if they did that intentionally.
Would be fantastic if they timed it like that.
Give whomever made that decision a raise.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Quiz time:

How many games do you all think Pickford would be banned for, if he took out golden boy (T)Rashford MBE, Esq., M.D. ..... the way he took Virgil out?

Your choices are:-

a) For the rest of the Season

b) For the rest of the calendar year.

[miller0863]

McTominay puts the Mancs back in front, Olsen doing his best Pickford impression in the Everton goal lolllz
Utd 3-2 Everton

[southernboy]

Switched it off at half time :rolleyes:

Switched it off as soon as the mancs scored, no regrets.

[miller0863]

Another good chance for Richarleson to prove he couldn’t hit a cow’s arse with a banjo ...and he takes it. Useless tosser

[stevie harkness]

We could put Man Utd top of the table tomorrow...

[miller0863]

Free kick swung into Utd’s box in the 95th minute it’s headed on and Calvert Lewin slots home to take a point.

F/T
Man Utd 3-3 Everton

[stevie harkness]

We could put Man Utd top of the table tomorrow...

Damn I jinxed it

[LEGS]

Damn I jinxed it

Good best result all round

[Steveo]

Get iiiin...! Great result for us

[miller0863]

Never say damn at ruining the chance of putting Utd top of the league Harky, not good for the soul.

[southernboy]

Good best result all round

Yup. Let’s make the most of it tomorrow.

[miller0863]

To be fair neither team are very good. Utd rely heavily on Fernandes and Rashford the rest are pretty average.
Everton have one or two good players but they are not consistent, that’s why they are at Everton

[stevie harkness]

Never say damn at ruining the chance of putting Utd top of the league Harky, not good for the soul.

Well it was a long shot but anything can happen this season

[fiordearg]

United have stuttered a bit over the last five games.

[justme]

Must be fking annoying to be a man-u fan winning until the 95th minute and thinking we are going to be challenging for the league.. then BAM a very late equalizer. :D :D :D fook em

[miller0863]

Right up the wrong ‘un justme, without the lube.

[justme]

Yeah and no and yeah and no :)

[ianlfc]

Mark Goldbridge was comedy gold at the end of the game 🤣🤣

[Joetan991]

Pickford and DDG are jokers. Who is the worst by the way?

[RedNoodle]

I knew Minamino was going to score. I was going to mention it when posting my predictions, but I was in too much pain to continue typing.

[RedNoodle]

Mark Goldbridge was comedy gold at the end of the game ����

It's all an act. He apparently used to be a policeman, which if true sums up why this country is already ****ed and is continuing to go to hell in a hand cart.

[LFC-DPG]

Pickford and DDG are jokers. Who is the worst by the way?

Prickford wasn’t playing so his backup is as much of a shitbag.

[ianlfc]

It's all an act. He apparently used to be a policeman, which if true sums up why this country is already ****ed and is continuing to go to hell in a hand cart.

really ? That's mad if true.

[Kev0909]

we should be greatful majority of results have gone are way last few weeks, maybe it's the football gods taking pity on us

P.S I think utd need a VVD and allison!

de gea is total trash how people still think he's a good goalkeeper is beyond me

[LEGS]

It's all an act. He apparently used to be a policeman, which if true sums up why this country is already ****ed and is continuing to go to hell in a hand cart.

Must admit never heard of the bloke until I googled him.

It’s the same as Arsenal TV it’s all BS people who say thick things wanting to be noticed being thick as pig shit seems to get you far these days

[3underpar]

Pickford and DDG are jokers. Who is the worst by the way?

Pickford is pure gash, at least DDG used to be good

[Nineteenx]

How shit is Everton's keeper? Terrible for the filthy's second and third goals, they were of course having a wank fest over Fernandes' strike, but for me a competent keeper saves that every time, like so many of the other similar efforts he's attempted, still not really arsed about the filthy tbh, theyre only where they currently sit courtesy of having their best 14-15 players to select from every game when almost every other team hasn't and are well below their usual levels, they're not facing a low block week in week out and are getting considerable help from the officials

In any normal season, they'd be languishing between 4th and 6th somewhere

[Kev0909]

Pickford is pure gash, at least DDG used to be good

Pickford wasn't even playing

[RedNoodle]

Must admit never heard of the bloke until I googled him.

I've thought about the possibility of there being a more 'sensible' football channel, but as with most of the world these days, there is more money to be made by appealing to the lowest common denominator.

[LEGS]

Exactly Noods being or as you say “acting” dumb pays off.

[Crimson Dynasty]

Never thought I'd live to see the day when a Manchester United manager would be whining about too much added time at Old Trafford as a bad thing for them.


So now 'Fergie Time' is bad?

It truly is the end of days.

[Insidious]

Free kick swung into Utd’s box in the 95th minute it’s headed on and Calvert Lewin slots home to take a point.

Man Utd 3-3 Everton

"Utopia" :lol:

[Crimson Dynasty]

To quote myself from earlier in the thread....

Episode #4,508

(*and by 'these' I mean both versions of the shite)

[CCTV]

really ? That's mad if true.

Saw a clip of him on that true geordie podcast, said he picked mark goldbridge as his copper bosses didn't want him on YouTube under his own name, Brent Di Cesare !!

Started off with 5-50 regular viewers and i checked out his latest watch along broadcast and it had 360k views from a near 1 million subscribers which is very good.

[CCTV]

Me and Kev0 should do a YouTube channel !

[Steveo]

No.. he said boring.. he wanted a boring voice.. :D

Keep it vibrant fellas

The irresistible force of Jose Mourinho meets the immovable object of Sam Allardyce, 2-0 Kane & Son

[skyebo]

The irresistible force of Jose Mourinho meets the immovable object of Sam Allardyce, 2-0 Kane & Son

Good result, it gets worse for Allardyce, his record's going, unless he's sacked first.

[miller0863]

Another good result for us.
Wolves 0-0 Leicester

[Steveo]

Another good result for us.
Wolves 0-0 Leicester

Yep - thought Vardy had nicked it at the death but no.. we need a win today. 3 points puts us back in the mix

[Insidious]

Good result, it gets worse for Allardyce, his record's going, unless he's sacked first.

What's the gap now, 11 points?

Will be gobsmacked if West Brom pull that off.

[miller0863]

It does, it would put us 3rd just 2 points behind Utd.

[justme]

I know hes not every ones cup of tea.. But if Leicester dont make top 4. I would look seriously at getting Maddison. We can ditch the likes of Keita.

[justme]

Regarding Keita. just what the fuck is going on with him?? he takes forever to recover from tweaks.. Just where is he now?

[miller0863]

A cardboard cut out is more use than Keita

[Kev0909]

Another good result for us.
Wolves 0-0 Leicester

yep we're amazingly lucky! in results anyway... apart from our own

[Kev0909]

Hopefully shef utd get a result v chelsea wouldn't write them off

[Kev0909]

great 0-1 chelsea imagine a month or so ago thinking they'll be 1pt behind us

if results stay the same...

they're the team to watch imo

[LEGS]

Chelsea have clearly been held back by a moron in Lampard.

They should make top 4 easily with that squad.

[skyebo]

Regarding Keita. just what the fuck is going on with him?? he takes forever to recover from tweaks.. Just where is he now?

Probably renewing his BUPA subscription.

[Kev0909]

get in 1-1

[Kev0909]

get in 1-1

Fuck off 1-2 chelsea penalty

[ianlfc]

Betis 1-0 barca .53 minutes gone. Messi starts on the bench, not brought on yet.

[ianlfc]

Messi brought on 56 minutes. Barca 1-1 59 minutes. Messi.

[ianlfc]

1-2 Barca. Messi involved in the build up.

[ianlfc]

75 minutes. 2-2 set up by Fakir, remember him?

[Steveo]

Chelsea have clearly been held back by a moron in Lampard.

They should make top 4 easily with that squad.

We all knew it - surprised he was so poor - that poor he got the chop but it’s worked out badly for us.

[CCTV]

Do people rate tuchels highly ?

[ianlfc]

2-3 barca. Trinkcao(sp) with a cracker. 21 year old.

[justme]

Depends on how he manages when his team loses.. Your expected to win 90% of your matches at the top end of the league..
You cant really say how good he is.. Managing PSG is pointless. Its like Scotland. Teams like Celtic and now Rangers. dont even need a manager to win the league.

[LEGS]

Do people rate tuchels highly ?

So far he has done what is expected of him at Dortmund and PSG.

Not sure he is elite but he is an upgrade on Lampard who only got the job because of his connections you need to do your apprenticeship for a lot longer than he did.

Chelsea are a club who will sack you on a regular basis I give him 18 months and he will be gone to.

[Steveo]

It’s the mighty Al Aly v Bayern Munich in the semi final of the CWC.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/55693627

Lewandowski has Bayern a goal up after 17 mins.

[Steveo]

Bayern a goal up in the massive trophy final v the mighty Tigres... Yep that’s them - after beating Al Ahly - the game v Tigres is all that stands between them and the CWC!!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/55693664

[Kev0909]

Burnley making sure the bot 3 are getting relegated

0-3 burnley wow

[Kev0909]

what the fk Gundogan has turned into a goal machine

[LEGS]

Good I hope City win the last 15 games too it’s what the league deserves see them finish on 98 points and about 15-20 points clear.

They are the best in the league by far and are proving it.

Laughing at all the dickhead United fans who are laughing at our collapse thinking it opened the door for them but they took their eyes off the ball with baldy.

[southernboy]

I haven’t even got the energy (or gall) to laugh at spurs

[dicko1969]

Is it me or is it city are really boring to watch.
I've only seen them play x4 or x5 times this season tbh.

So much football now that I only watch liverpool, and flamengo tbh .

[eggy81]

Nah they’re great to watch. We’re boring to watch.

[Kev0909]

Nah they’re great to watch. We’re boring to watch.

I agree

[dicko1969]

Disagree

[justme]

City spend half their time go backwards to their defenders and goal keeper. It works as it drags out players from the opposition.
Doesnt always work when you get a quick press on them though.. They have played with an extra defensive midfielder most of the season. so teams have less chance of countering on them.

[eggy81]

Disagree
Were great to watch when we’re flying. Not this season. City play great football. Constantly threatening the back 4 of the opposition. They’ve become a bit more pragmatic too and playing more long ball when required.

[Steveo]

Is it me or is it city are really boring to watch.
I've only seen them play x4 or x5 times this season tbh.

So much football now that I only watch liverpool, and flamengo tbh .

Probably because they have 4 players for every position :D

They are playing quality football - all you have to do is watch.
