Football March 19th - 21st

[Angelsaint]

Now that I think about it, I thing Figogate was the turning point from being a lovely club to turn into the despising money grabber whining babies they are now.

[niko_cee]

Not really sure why United would bother with that kind of deal. Who would they fear losing Mourinho to? Sounds total BS.

[randomlegend]

I might be wrong, but 'sportsjoe.ie' sounds about as reliable as tribalfootball.

[Lee]

I'm not really sure why Souness watches football, he clearly hates it.

[Lee]

Now he thinks Newcastle and Sunderland are in the bottom three because there aren't enough 'men' in their sides. What if every side was packed with these 'men'? Somebody would still be bottom. Twat. The reason they're where they are is because they're shit.

[John Arne]

Captain Flanagan

[Foe]

Benitez has already had on victory in realising he needs to drop Taylor.

[Luke Emia]

A very pleasant start already. who would have thought making Flanagan skipper would have such an impact.

[Baz]

Origi

[Lee]

Destroying Southampton's confidence before they come to Leicester in a couple of weeks would be good.

[Disco]

Defoe could have won this already, he's getting so much space in the box.

[Disco]

Jefoe

[Lewis]

Survival Sam had better have a dismissive hand gesture prepared for 2-0.

[Foe]

No way colback is lasting 90 minutes here.

He's either getting sent off or taken off.

[leedsrevolution]

Defoe should really be playing for England still. He's better than Rooney and Welbeck for a start.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Souness likes talking about men.

[Lewis]

I think he just hates North East football (and possibly the North East generally) rather than football.

[Giggles]

I might be wrong, but 'sportsjoe.ie' sounds about as reliable as tribalfootball.

Hence posting the ? alongside the link. As always, all stories can be taken with a grain of salt until the BBC reports them.

[Boydy]

Bollocks, I thought the Liverpool match wasn't on until later. I've missed the first 50 minutes.

[Shindig]

This is damning. No goals, no hope. It'll be sealed against Norwich.

[Smiffy]

.....

[Serj]

Skrtel on for Lovren has made the Liverpool defence incredibly shaky. Neither of Can and Allen is a proper holding midfielder either, and they hardly ever get proper spells of possession anymore due to not really playing well out of the back. Maybe take off Sturridge for a midfielder.

EDIT: Well, or bring on Benteke. Not sure that's going to help though.

[Magic]

Dundee.

[Andy]

This referee is terrible.

Should have been a penalty at the start, gave a questionable penalty to even it up and then Mignolet makes a great save which he doesn't spot, ends with a Livepool goal kick and we score seconds later. Ridiculous.

[Andy]

Liverpool are going to regret taking their foot off the gas at 2-0. It shouldn't even be a contest given the opportunities squandered.

You'll get a third, it'll be the same as the cup game. We push for a goal and you'll pick us off.

[Smiffy]

.....

[Smiffy]

.....

[Kikó]

No Fellaini

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was a great ball in by George.

[Shindig]

Gerr'in!

[Serj]

Not surprising at all. Great finish by Pelle, though.

[Magic]

You seemed as though you were on your holidays in the first half which is bonkers considering where you are in the league.

This has 2-2 written all over it in my mind but I'd like to be wrong given the fixture later on.

[Smiffy]

.....

[John Arne]

Rubbish. Sakho just doesn't get close enough. We should have buried this in the first half.

[Danny]

We are gonna get bummed this afternoon but this is nice to see first.

[Smiffy]

.....

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Liverpool

[Serj]

Jesus. That defending. Sell Mignolet and Skrtel. Sakho has also turned to shit ever since half-time.

[GS]

I would say I'm surprised, but alas no. When we collapse, we collapse in spectacular fashion.

Reboot the graph. There's much to do in the summer.

[John Arne]

Jesus fucking Christ.... learn to fucking kick the ball you cunt, Mignolet.

[GS]

Jesus fucking Christ.... learn to fucking kick the ball you cunt, Mignolet.

It remains imperative that we replace this chancer in the summer, as he simply isn't up to the job over the course of a season.

[Magic]

By the way that shite yesterday was the worst game I've seen at ER. Stayed to the end as well. 30k turn out for that. Fuck off Cellinom

[John Arne]

It remains imperative that we replace this chancer in the summer, as he simply isn't up to the job over the course of a season.

Indeed. I'm still baffled as to why we recently gave him a 5 year contract.

[Smiffy]

.....

[Shindig]

This match is going to fizz out.

[GS]

Indeed. I'm still baffled as to why we recently gave him a 5 year contract.

It's an odd one.

He must know he's shit, so I trust he feels the requisite amount of shame at scamming a living out of the club in the manner he is.

[Serj]

No plan B there in the last minutes. Not a single player going wide to attempt a cross into the box. That second half was an absolute clusterfuck.

[Kikó]

Liverpool offers light relief before we get slapped today.

[Giggles]

What a beautiful day that turned out to be

[Lewis]

Liverpool are going to regret taking their foot off the gas at 2-0. It shouldn't even be a contest given the opportunities squandered.

Was it 2-0 or 2-1 when you posted this?
