Liverpool have 2nd sewn up - EPL 2018/19

gotta hand it to ed woodward, to make such complex decisions and still maintain the incredible comic timing is no mean feat.

there's no coming back from this

switched on the Barca-Utd game last week when it was already 3-0, schaudenfreude didn't pay off, not doing that again

ole's visage is starting to show signs of moyes

When did you stop thinking United were a big club?

Ben-tekkers

Amazing.

milner can hit a penalty tbfttl

what a wonderful day

Emery out

no day containing the words 'palace safe' can truly charm me but some excellent results out of that context yes. even give it to the stripeys a bit, they seem to be good at that kind of heist

"Let Jurgen have my lot and I'll have his and we'll see how we get on!"

Oh fuck off Warnock, you oaf

trying to make this hateful cunt cuddly has been a real fuckin low in football coverage this season

salah diving needs more coverage. hes rubbish at it and if youre a liverpool fan who has ever pointed a finger at bale or kane then hmmmm

if my guy is getting blatantly mauled by a defender and it takes him falling to the floor for the ref to do something about that then I'm all for it

I don't think you can call it a dive when he was being bear-hugged.

you can

it was a foul

the ref is never gonna give it unless he dives

he dives

ive no problem with it i just remember the attention bale/kane get when taken out at full pelt and making the most of it, and this is a much more deliberate and forced type of exaggeration, his last few efforts have been himself throwing himself to the ground.

alli is pretty bad for it too butvhe gets the stick for it so im curious why salah isnt getting the rep he deserves.

jesus christ the fuckin tastiness of the womens arsenal-everton highlights

no day containing the words 'palace safe' can truly charm me

Pharaonic new main stand going up next season, which should fuck us for the following decade

Fairly or unfairly, Salah has got a reputation among many fans as a diver. It is discussed plenty.

The incident yesterday was nowhere near as bad as the other players mentioned tho. There have been several more ambiguous incidents than that involving Mo, yday is a pen, the idea that a player's body has to hit the ground in order for it to be given is the only lamentable and stupid thing about it.

agreed on final part yeah

lol are we actually going to give Mike Phelan the DoF job

Banter F.C. doesn't quite cover it

Ben Mee just cleared off his own line with an overhead kick and a minute later the ball was in the Chelsea net after a proper thundercunt of a goal. Into it.

And yet now Chelsea are ahead.

and yet!

you fuckin beauty

I see the Guardian is saying no Phelan as director of football. Would be hard to interpret that as anything more than people above him ensuring no power is given away and that both the manager and DOF are so happy to be there as to be ineffectual.

I almost feel like the earlier reports were a trial balloon now

not that the cunts will be able to come up with anything better

You'd hope they never considered it, his Twitter account is fucking embarrassment enough.

flyin kites boys ff are obv high up at utd these days the cute hoors

defenders have been getting away with kicking and grappling salah all this season. he should work on his diving because it's the only way he'll get any decisions and his dives are very hammy hazard by comparison is a master. people actually give him credit for "bouncing back up so quickly". every pen he's won has been a stonewall pen all the same.

United needed to have already hired their technical director/sporting director for it to be a success. Even it's not Mike Phelan they are going about everything the wrong way.

defenders kick every attacker all season fyi

... and every season past present and future.

six seconds long

we should be breaking these lads before ht

llorente nowhere to be seen bit maybe hes occupying the lads that should be tracking eriksen who is enjoying himself

theyve attacked the trippier gap several times with some promise

Skinning them for pace on the flanks and then flinging crosses to Llorente just isn't working. Feel like Brighton could deal with these all day long.

alli a dead end tonight

the big difference between spurs and city/lpool is evident in games like this, just unable to move defences in the same way

son terrible this half oof

This feels unusually tramlined and predictable for a Spurs XI though.

there was such a marked improvement in getting behind 10 man defences between guardiola's 1st and 2nd seasons, you'd think other managers wld focus on it in a similar way

hate when refs allow those late shots on a striker

JANSSEN TIME.

here it is

You know your options are limited when your game changing subs are Ben Davies and Vincent Janssen.

trippier is like a how not to in defence the fool

welcome back chris
