Liverpool have 2nd sewn up - EPL 2018/19

well well

That rules Everton out of a late challenge for Man United's sixth spot

pretty shocking stuff from Liverpool really. They don't have a midfield, and if the front three aren't firing there's just nothing there

They've been bad more than they've been good this season tbh

A team challenging for titles on the basis of a good defence and a few hardworking cloggers in midfield - what a new and rare thing.

that's not really the narrative though is it

*popcorn.gif*

I feel fairly relaxed about it to be honest - they weren't going to win every game from a point ahead just as they prob don't even need to win every game from a point behind. Form could be better but we'll see how it goes.

nothing but good feelings here

It's pretty great being a Utd fan at the moment

I was just trying to give you a pleasant nostalgia for the Fergie days!

Tbh and this is cliche really - the huge overreaction at the end of the match is fairly ridiculous. Like "a disastrous blow" etc - even the raging about the performance from fans - Liverpool had enough good chances to win 3-0. The points tally and season so far is hard to question.

Just looking at the remaining fixtures and Liverpool have a bunch of matches coming up against some poor sides- Cardiff, Huddersfield, Newcastle and Spurs

yes

I do think our run-in is slightly more favourable. There are nine games to go, who fucking knows. Alexander Ocasio-Chamberlain should make a difference too, he's playing in the reserves this week.

Southampton are being very obliging but we're a completely different and more purposeful team with Dele in it.

Southampton now winning. Genuinely can’t see a top four finish.

can you actually believe kyle walker peters

can you believe him

can you believe danny rose

eric dier

can you believe the cheek and the gall of them

you cant put deliberate decisions to consistently fuck up in the same category as incompetence

Silva gone

Scott Parker gone

cunts.

Genuinely can’t see a top four finish

resigned myself to that weeks ago but the fissures it's likely to expose are the bigger issue here. things like Dortmund just mask them

im glad its over tbh

You fuckers moan about refs, well Prem ref Roger East just did our game coz it was on the telly and he was on a different fucking planet to the usual absolute shite. You absolutely don't know how good you have it

Oh fuck off chelsea

Fair but ouch. Wd've took the point at 2

Think Ruben shd've chopped him

Was rooting hard for your boys there

Felt sure we'd give them a game, painful to concede from there but point clear on 7th isn't bad

utd with an incredible move there, not quite getting the last bit right

yeah, would have been one for the ages

Been the better team since the formation change, but Rashford is having a nightmare

I don't blame de Gea overly for the goal either. Xhaka looks he's shaping to curl it the other way and then cuts across it at the last minute

Be disappointed if we don't get a draw here.

Fucking dive

yeah, disgraceful

ah well, run had to end sometime

Feel bad for fred cos he was having an okay match

Arsenal's run-in is a real piece of piss as well.

Greenwood

the narrative

was actually hoping for enough of a shellacking that Utd would go third on goal difference as it'd be overall beneficial for us I reckon. bleh

Until now I'd been rather complacently assuming that Arsenal would drop enough points against midtable opposition but I'm not so sure now.

I think they will

they haven't even been good today

Shocking for Utd to suffer a dodgy pen

lol are ye still following football pfft

eh

just seemed like things weren't going to run our way today

enjoying the media enjoying the chance to hysterically react to a couple of bell-ends running on the pitch

Wait are you talking about the unprovoked physical assault or something else?

spurs fullbacks

it was v bad and i don't think it merits a week of hysterical "should we put massive cages back up and strip-search everybody going into a football ground?" ffs

also imo it wasn't as bad as the transparent joy of Five Live/daytime TV wankers having something to fill a fucking schedule with

they don't get paid enough to have to put up with infrequent nonsense like that.

just a little pre-admission match form would do the trick?

Are you concealing any severed pigs heads/fireworks/bricks yes/no

Do you intend to enter the pitch of play and run up to a player and nervously give them a little shove and then get wrestled to the ground by 9 stewards and get a banning order yes/no

Alan Shearer has realised he can get the biggest profile by being the most outraged person, hasn't he?

Gary Neville is "very concerned" because lest we forget 26 years ago a tennis player got stabbed.

"We have reached the point where banning individual fans for going on the pitch is simply not enough of a punishment.

lol what more could you do? Fucking start amputating legs?
