Villa Wolves should be a cracker.

United away is my favourite game of the season.

So so excited for tomorrow. Just hope Jose doesn’t wreck it!

Please God united do these cunts. In whatever way.

Fuck off. With the bindippers here.

Mourinho has chosen to MIND GAME Gary Neville in the build-up, presumably to cover his arse from any DISGRACE allegations when they go 8-1-1 and steal a famous 0-0.

I hope we barter united and their boring football, I can see them stinking it up and beating us 1-0 with all their fans thinking itÂ’s the best thing ever. :(

It would be. Can just see Jurgen 'Jurgen Klopp' Klopp in the post-match interview now. He sounds like he's apologising for the conduct of his nation during the war, but then oh no he isn't he's off on one...

Bingo. If they did Sanes achilles and decapitated Salah in the process it would be an added bonus.

Don't know, Sané doing his achilles might give us an outside chance. Somehow doubt it, though.

I don't think I can understate how many lives are riding on the Newcastle v Southampton match.

We're going to do them 1-0.

The Debate - Live. Tim Sherwood reckons Dave Gayer is 'one of the top three' goalkeepers in the league, and Phil Thompson agonised between Dejan Lovren and Chris Smalling (went with Lovren) in his combined XI before pulling Tactics Tim up for picking Eric Bailly 'when he can't get in the United side'.

And they get paid for that...

The revelation in this Lukaku/Henry special that he spitefully 'retired' from the Belgian youth team because they played him on the wing is the start of me becoming a major fan.

Ah, it's time to pretend that Liverpool / United isn't consistently the dullest big game of the year, is it?

Those inexplicable 'LvG' era wins were pretty fun.

Tony M pouted his way to one of his first United goals against Liverpool, didn't he?

We're going to be obliterated 0-0.

Is Martial injured or is he just not going to play again in case he scores?

I wonder, with these games, does Klopp's emotional style help or hinder his sides? He doesn't have a brilliant record in finals, does he? Which would be your prototypical big games, but then he has a pretty good record in more conventional league 'big games'.

Has Souness dyed his hair? Reputation in tatters.

We could smash them to pieces but 1-0 scrapfest for Man United is most likely. Urgh.

That said. I'm just hoping we get champions league again and so it's not 'that' important.

Thatll be sorted regardless of league position, when we win it this season. :saywhat:

Sounds like keepball rather than sitting back from United:

If we are more consistent, we try to reduce the possibility of their super-dangerous counter-attack. So let’s see if Mata can help us! They are not the kind of team to sit in a low block waiting for us. Is this aggressive defence? I don’t know. The objective is to be in front of them at the end of the season, not today. We want to win the game. Paul Pogba is injured, yesterday in training. He was in an unlucky situation. I really don’t know when he is back.”

Bailly probably a bigger deal. It'd be handy for them if he usually played left side so he could try to stop Salah.

Both thrilling ways to play the beautiful game amirite Reg.

Would have been nice to see Shaw start but he must have been at the pies again.

Rashford :wub:

:cool:

Lovely stuff.

Shit corner. Goal kick. Flick on... They should shut up shop now just to make it funnier.

Rashford really does kick the ball surprisingly hard.

Eric Bailly has done two bits of defending (one of which was a foul) and he's looked more decisive than the tits have all year.

Rashfords got Trent in his pocket. Milner needs to go help him.

Switching marking duties mid-corner? :cab:

I fucking love him.

What a fucking hero Rashford is.

Lukaku FC.

Beautiful.

For fuck's sake.

Liverpool's defending is so bad :D

We need the game to die off for 30 mins or so.

Being murdered by the long ball.

Lovren unable to deal with long balls in the lead-up to both goals. Alexander-Arnold with no sense of where he should be. Doesn't look good.

But you have a 75 million pound giant at the back. :harold:

I've missed both goals but presumably now the bus will be firmly parked.

They're doing the smart thing of completely avoiding him.

Loads of SKY GENERATION wondering who those old men in the crowd are and why they aren't showing the half scarf Turbanites with their camera phones behind the dugout instead.

I think what we've learned is that Paulp Ogba is a luxury and should be sold.

Bailly :drool:

African Player of the Century.

Mata :D

Great ball by Sanchez but fucking hell.

Again that defending, holy shit.

I reckon if every team attacked them they'd let in 100 goals a season. They'd probably win 6-5 a lot of games, but still.

That's impressively creative defending. United are going to score a couple more if this goes on.

Why are the murderers shooting from so far out?

View Tweet

Absolute hero.

Then he lost it, tracked back, and obliterated whoever it was going for the through ball. He's the biggest legend since Patrice Evra.

View Tweet

:drool:

It's not actually been too bad. We've had 3 or 4 chances that could quite easily have been goals. United going up the other end and scoring instantly on 2 of them. Trent is having a nightmare. You have to expect Lukaku to be winning headers and cover the flick on.

Aside from that United are defending very well. We'll need to grab a goal in the first 10 minutes of the second half to slow them down.

Why don't United play like this every game though?

I imagine not every team offers the same amount of space to run into from a flick-on. Haven't seen too many of their games though.

Just stick Mané as far up front as possible. His passing is terrible.

Liverpool have been shit going forward today too. Not enough movement off the ball (although to be fair the United defence isn't leaving much space to move into) and some very sloppy passing as well.

I wouldn't be taking the Ox off here. He's the only one that seems to be doing well.

Yeah, seems a bad decision to me. I'd have taken Mane off.

I wish we had a goalkeeper a fraction as good as Degay. Abby Bailly is a monster.

Liverpool have been alright. You just can't walk through seven defenders all that easily. Even Chris Smalling has been good, since he isn't having to expose himself like a muppet.

:uhoh:

:D

Fuck me that's some jinx.

What a backheel. :drool:

He meant that.

Bring Matip on and stick van Dijk up front and just whip crosses in to him.

And he's injured now ffs.

As if De Gea nearly saved that too.

Usual from a Man Utd defender, that.

Erm...Rashford been great?

The NBC stream I'm watching briefly had the score as 3-0 there then quickly corrected it to 2-1. That's not how it works, Yanks.

I'm not sure this game can take a bit of Fellainimania.

Fellaini to score. Money on it.

Not sure why Lovren is after Fellaini blood there.

What is the afro going to do?

Run Wild.

Why has the ref stopped the game??

Lingard to score and then play his flute for the Scouse wankers.

Six? ffs, I need a shit.

Klopp's face when 6 minutes was announced. :D

For the Irish tendency.

"Salah up there with Messi"

:harold:

https://media.giphy.com/media/sZdxsCOUH8eZi/giphy.gif

Liverpool should have been shooting more. With that many defenders you can get all sorts of deflections and re-bounds and whatever, and one is bound to get past Bailly eventually.

Mané is so frustrating. Of all the attacking players, he was the one to look for the ball the most, drop deep, offer support to midfielders and such. But if he has to pass a ball there's a 50 percent chance that he'll just give it straight to the defender.

Deserved win for United.

Nice. Anything good for Klopp to seethe about?

Thirty-two per cent possession. :drool:

Three penalty shouts but all three would have been quite harsh, with the Salah/Young one being the most likely if Salah wasn’t so reluctant to go down.

A hero fighting the good fight.

Definite penalty from Fellaini on Mane, I thought.

I don't know why Salah didn't stay wide to receive the ball and have a proper run at Young. He wasn't helping himself joining the congestion in the middle.

United were good. Much better with Bailly (cracking own goal), he helps them so much. Smalling/whoever is beside him always seems calmer.

Some goal from Rashford. He could still be a star.

The handball was the most likely penalty. Mane and Fellainimania just run into each other.

Mourinho MASTERCLASS in that interview. He's probably been sat watching Souness' seethe on his phone and decided to rub it in.

Reading haven't won a 3pm KO all season.

1-0 Reading, 16 mins.

Filthy goal from Vardy. Plus some amazing rustling of home fans as is his trademark. Love him.

I am not counting any chickens with this.

Everton Brighton has been absolutely dire.

Isn't Everton anyone always absolutely dire?

When it involves Allardyce it's even worse.

They went 7 unbeaten with 4 wins in the middle somewhere (presumably when Allardyce took over), but have returned to dogshit since.

As bad as they've been, they probably deserve that as Brighton have been non existent since half time.

If that had went in :drool:

That elbow thing is great. :D

A real shame that it didn't hit his face.

It really is a pretty dreamy line-up down the bottom of the table. Seeing the 'safe hands' of Woy, Pards and Moyesy relegate their respective clubs would be great, Lambert taking Stoke down would be more than acceptable. Just a shame that the outside shot at Everton going seems to have gone.

Palace have got wall-to-wall 6 pointers after they stop playing all the top teams on this current run, mind.

God I hope they replace PARDZ with an interesting foreign geezer and go for youthful exuberance in the transfer market. We'll almost certainly grab someone off the mediocrity merry-go-round and sign crap players with "championship experience" for bloated wages. I'm not sure how much I agree with them, but the consensus on westbrom.com (a pretty reasonable, intelligent bunch as far as fan forums go) is very glum. A lot of people seem to think there's as much chance of us going down to league one as coming back up at first attempt.

Such a shame BIG DROP specialist/cunt Allardyce isn't down there too.

We have Huddersfield in a fortnight. Might grab tickets for it.

Another top Mourinho comment there on Match of the Day, complete with total MIND GAME victory over Paulp Ogba.

If Frank Lampard doesn't go to town on West Ham he's a wanker. He wants to be giving them fifteen years of pent-up abuse, calling them nobodies, saying they deserve it, taunting them about Muslims taking over.

I loved his comment about us controlling them without the ball in the second half as they never really troubled us.

Sheringham couldn't get it whatsoever.

Madness that people think the Fellaini/Mane coming together was a penalty.

He must have done the BBC/Sky ones back-to-back, and he gave each of them a different strand of personal bitterness. I would love to know exactly what preparation he puts into this stuff.

Oh yeah, and then in the post-post match press conference he accused Gary Neville of trying to get Rashford sent off, suggesting that the referees check in with Sky at half-time. It's a shame Bayern were never willing to entertain giving him a job.

Kenedy's second was lush. Southampton had all of the ball and did nowt with it.

That's a lovely hit by Barnes.

If they really wanted to do something there, they could have rushed the directors box easily.

They're West Ham fans, they've all dabbled in a bit of murder.

I can't help thinking that David Sullivan doesn't help himself sitting there in his stupid coat, squinting at his little screen looking not unlike Leonid Brezhnev.

Still, the PASSIONATE fan BT Sport was publicising had it right. They have two options. They can GO NOW, or they can put their money where their mouth is and SIGN SOME PLAYERS. Option three, mate - they do just enough to stay up every year and pocket the difference knowing you will turn up regardless.

Been sold out for a while :stamford:

How good is Kenedy? Works perfectly with Dummett who can slot into left centre when Kenedy comes back to defend. Gutted he will be back at Chelsea next year.

Aye, I just checked. I expected Kenedy just to be an injection of pace like Sissoko but he really showed some good movement yesterday. It's what we need when the striker's aren't so prolific. Mitrovic and Armstrong are banging them in on loan. They should look to make that permanent. Bet Middlesbrough wishes they Mitrovic on.

Celtic :harold:

Okay that was a sexy equaliser.

This is a cracking game

Great win yesterday. The shit united keep marching on (to 2nd).

Sevilla will do us though.

That looked harsh. Whatever. #BJK #WATP #FTP #GSTQ

His first wasn't bad either. That touch off the chest and then the turn is class.

Bit of a downer for us yesterday. Perhaps a lull in intensity now that we're almost there. The FA Cup week has probably come at a good time.

That miss from Morelos at the end was a crime. Between today and the last Old Firm he should have had six goals against them. Cummings needs to start from now on. I like Morelos' strength and the way he bullies defenders but there's no point in all that if he's just going to spaff four chances a game.

New contract for Wenger incoming.

John Motson is breathtakingly shit at commentating.

Last game isn't it?

Bournemouth have started really well.

Harry "Harry fucking Kane" Kane has been subbed off with an injury too.

We are approaching the point in the season where Smallpockets teams start feeling PRESS fatigue, so get on Chelsea for fourth.

Serge Aurier loves a foul throw.

Spurs will finish about 7th if he's done for the season.

What's wrong with Kane then?

Is this a threat to England's World Cup hopes?

Englands first team are a threat to their world cup hopes.

Looked like a sprained ankle, he'll sit out next weeks cup game and then be fine.

Sky need go get a grip, zooming in on ball boys and lolling at them.

We made Newcastle look good yesterday, such an inept performance. We are going down, I am sure of it.

Yeah, Pellegrino sounded so defeated after the game. He didn't start too badly which makes their run so strange. They had so much possession yesterday but everyone was static. Still in the cup, mind. And Arsenal's coming up.

Tuned in to the inter vs napoli game. Both playing in their home blue shirts. Its not suppose to clash but it clashes. Light blue and the dark blue with black strips is throwing me off

Video quality sucks, but thoughts on that? Goal was disallowed for offside but it's a bit on the grey area.

EDIT: Meh video was taken down, nevermind.

Insigne with his short socks is such a joy to watch

'Carra' gobbing at this United fan endangering several lives for no good reason is quality.

I'd be staggered if he isn't fired. You can't fucking spit on people.

It would be awkward if he has to go and work with Richard Keys and Andy Gray, since he's always making fun of them.

What a fucking balloonhead.

Wish Carra la had just pulled over and give him a slap instead.

The fan definitely needs his licence torn up in front of him. Still hope Carragher gets destroyed, but I really wish it had been Neville and rid us of that cunt from our screens forever.

He's a manc mate. He's not spitting.

From Jamie

Quote:

"The issue of spitting, sadly, has emerged again this week with Jonny Evans and Papiss Cisse both being condemned," he wrote in his Mail column on Saturday.

"As usual, there have been a number of people who have said 'it is the worst thing that can happen on a pitch'; it is vile but let me assure you now -- I would have preferred Lucas Neill to have spat at me the day he broke my leg in September 2003!

"I was spat at once in my career. It came during a UEFA Cup game against Celta Vigo in 1998 and the player in question was a Russian midfielder called Aleksander Mostovoi. I was shocked more than angry when he did it because I couldn't believe what had happened.

"Cisse has admitted being in the wrong and hit with a seven-game ban. I know it is a disgusting thing to do but I do think that punishment seems a little excessive, particularly if you compare it to an over-the-top tackle that would 'only' get three games.

"For Evans, the incident doesn't look good at all. It would have been easy enough for him to spit well away from Cisse.

"One final thing: all those people who have said about Evans 'he's not that type of lad.' Who is then? Is there are a list somewhere of names who are 'that type'? It is a stupid thing to say. It's not about his character. It's about whether he had a moment of madness, deliberately or not."

---

Wait, he spat at a car, from another car?

That reminds of seeing something the other day where some melt was complaining at having been 'spat at' when what had actually happened was a person had spat at the ground in front of them. It's not the same.

Did you see the video? It's far from the same as someone spitting on the ground in front of you.

Just seen it.

:D

What a pleb. Looks like more gets blown back on him than makes it to the other car. I'm not sure that's making fun of a lady linesman or Marcel Desailly career ending, but I suppose in 2018 anything can happen.

There has to be something wrong with you to go to spitting as a response.

The more I think about it, scouse or not, fuck it. If he gets the boot it's just more precious modern phonicsness. The Da should have more questions to answer.

Giggles, a man who needs to take a long walk to calm down when anyone; Has a beard and glasses, says, "I like Craft Beer" or "There's pasta that isn't spaghetti" thinks I'm the precious one.

He's got you there Giggles.

Weekend of pitch invasions :D

PAOK owner being the winner invading the pitch with a gun hahahahaha

Spaghetti is the one that infuriates him. It's for show offs.

You'd think someone like Carragher would have quite thick skin when it comes to abuse from fans.

He always seems to take the back and forth with Neville a bit further than it needs to, seems like he's just a massive prick.

Will have to be on best behaviour now, anything out of line now and he will be sacked.

And his dad has some choice views on those of different ethnicity. Nice family.

He was exceptionally even-handed and full of praise for United after the match, so in future he should probably just let it all out like Souness does.

Carragher is far better than anyone else they have so hopefully he isn’t punted.

He's interminable. His voice goes right through me.

I won't even bother with the spaghetti thing any more as, whether it be stubbornness or stupidity, nobody took up what I really meant. As for the beer, err ok. I never touch the stuff myself..

Carragher isn't near Neville levels. His speech impediment is the worst sound on the planet.

He's been suspended by Sky, so that's that for him.

What an idiot.

Should have just taken the plate down and had some of his mates murder them at a later date.

https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/9...139515393?s=19

Glorious interview. Skewered.

That seems a bit unnecessary. He's gobbed at a car (and really what else could he do to get them to back off?). He hasn't thumped a woman. That said, it's probably all part of what needs to be done to avoid sacking him, so whatever he's the best pundit they have.

He could have kept his windows up.

He could have ignored them, or just not gobbed at them some kind of hobo.

He should have fronted it out. I shouldn't have spat, but... And then get into the wally filming him.

He could take lessons from Lord Edward.

Suspension means he's safe surely.

But what of the twitter outrage?

I think he was asked whether he's read any good books lately.

He spat at a person. He saw their window was down.

'What else could he do?' Driven away.

He claims it had been going on for a few miles. His only mistake has been his failure to compare himself to Princess Diana.

That's a great goal.

Sterling :D

He can look so fucking shit at times.

That was also pretty scummy, no one goes for a drop ball now.

Mark Hughes is looking like favourite for the Southampton job :D

Saw someone on Twitter who thinks it's ok because he's never been relegated. Fucking hell.

Track record of making teams worse.

I'd say he's only ever had one failed spell at a club, and that was QPR, which was completely cancerous at the time.

He did a good job at Blackburn and City. I'd say he did well overall at Stoke too, while his spell at City was "par".

He didn't do a good job at Fulham. He didn't do a good job at City consdering he spent a billion pounds. He didn't do a good job at QPR. He didn't do a good job at Stoke.

He finished in 8th with Fulham in his one season in charge, how is that not a good job? I'd say overall he did well at Stoke, with a poor final season.

He is as likely as anyone to keep them up, but also as likely as anyone to get sacked next November when they are in eighteenth. It must be absolutely bollocks supporting Southampton.

Fulham got to the Europa League final the year prior finishing 12th on 46 points. Hughes got 49. That Fulham team was bloody good.

If Fulham were to have earned 49 points the year prior they would have finished 11th.

How did he not do a good job at Stoke?

I don't think he did badly at Man City. They were right at the start of their big spending period and were trying to suddenly become a big team. A lot of the players he brought in were long term successes.

He brought in Vincent Kompany, Gareth Barry, and a load of pish.

Spent a bunch of money while achieving the square root of fuck all and was fired for putting a team with more Champions League winners than any other team in the league into a relegation battle for the last 2 years.

A team that was leading the line with Ricardo Fuller and Glen Whelan came closer to success than any of his teams did.

Those Champions' League winners are all shit though.

Was David Silva after him?

I think Hughes is a decent manager but his signings towards the end at Stoke were completely disjointed. From skilful and creative to obvious fodder (e.g. Fletcher).

Doesn't mean they come cheap. He loves spunking money on whatever Kia Joorchabian sends his way.

Such a stretch using that stat. :D Those players weren't Van Basten, Cruyff and Ronaldinho. They finished 9th three years running, that's a good achievement with their squad, especially while managing to make them easier on the eye after years of Pulisball.

Yeah, they sacked him mid-season and then Robert Mancini brought David Silva and Yaya Toure in during the summer. Hughes also brought Pablo Zabaleta in actually, so fair play Sparky lad.

Yo @nsd. Please tell Reg he's talking total shit pls.

Lescott :D

Lescott was a starter in the season they won their first (recent) title.

So did Quinton Fortune. Being in the 11 of a team that wins the league doesn't make you good. Pascal Cygan got 10 starts in the year Arsenal went unbeaten.

Don't dare talk about Fortune with disrespect.

Someone needs to tell Leicester that their title win doesn't count.

I wouldn't advise putting Claudio Ranieri in charge either.

Hughes wouldn't have much of a say in transfer dealings anyway so maybe he wouldn't be all bad.
