Liverpool vs United was terrible thanks to park the bus Jose

It was. First half it seemed United had attacking intent, but second half seemed like PTB.

But Liverpool weren't good either, though. They had one dangerrous attack... the same as United .

 

[Dibils]

yeah liverpool were negative too, as home team their subs were negative or straight swap

 

[Digital Joker]

What a boring weekend of unimaginative football.

 

[The Wolf King]

Just one shot on target for Utd tells you all you need.

But unless they pick up some injuries city are going to run away with it this season anyways.

 

[chargerJ..]

my chargers have a sorry ass record but at least we beat the raiders so I'm happy.

Koeman gone isn'tthe surprise it's he lasted this long

 

[The Wolf King]

Bilic sacked most likely Moyes taking over.

Not sure what part of the last 5 years makes West Ham think he can keep them up?

Spurs diving team ahows up again. What a despicable display.

 

[The Wolf King]

One dive and he rightly so got booked. But then Dele's favourite player was Gerrard and he dived more than all English players combined.

 

[Digital Joker]

Kane drove too. And the penalty in the box was called because player acted like he was shot when a knee made contact to his back.

 

[The Wolf King]

Keeper bought him down so no dive and you said yourself the knee made contract so again a foul.

 

[Dibils]

thought first was a dive, 2nd one (although soft) is a pen to me

 

[The Wolf King]

Keepers elbow catches Kane

 

[Digital Joker]

In Harry Kanes own words "I felt contact so I went down, that's football".
It's obvious he drags his leg looking for contact. If you're not trying to stay on your feet, it's a dive.

 

[Digital Joker]

And on the Lemela and Van Dijk pen you see Dele start to put his hand up appealing for penalty before there's even any contact.

 

[The Wolf King]

sticks the leg out? He had just used it to move the ball.



7:02 Dele clearly appeals for the penalty After the foul.

Seriously Liverpool fans are trying way too hard including some twit going on a rant about Jon Moss birth/childhood. .. only he didnt notice he had googled the bloody drummer from culture club.

And what Kane said

"I felt contact and I went down. I'm not going to jump out of the way because it's football."

 

[The Wolf King]

To think Chelsea spent £40M on Bakayoko

 

[The Wolf King]

Twat. And then the followed it up with this gem.....



Not even in the top 10 of the Liverpool team.

 

[Digital Joker]

Got up at 530am to watch Arsenal play like piss. At least Spurs didn't flop all over pitch again but I suspect that's because they know they're under the microscope right now.

 

[The Wolf King]

Or because only Dele did it and got booked.

When every pundit and ref says one thing you can't help but laugh when fans still get salty.

Another day that could have been 5-0 Spurs.
Oh and again at those that said spurs won't be able to sell out a 60,000 plus seater let alone Wembley.

 

[The Wolf King]

 

[Dibils]

VAR just disallowed a legitimate goal... cause the offside lines were broken so ref watching the video made a judgement call BT did a working line and mata wasnt offside

what a pathetic call

 

[Digital Joker]

Thought it was a league rule that all close rulings go in the favor of Man U.
That and a minimum of 6 extra minutes if they are losing at end of time.

 

[Dibils]

turns out his knee was offside, but the guy who made the call didnt have the lines still so it was 50/50 guess...

football is in trouble though if offside is gonna be that critically looked at, i mean he isnt exactly gaining an advantage by having his knee be 4 inches ahead of defender lol

 

[The Wolf King]

Under the new offside rules he is.

But yes that was silly and the system still needs a lot of work if it's going to be used more.

 

[Dibils]

City gotta love football

aguero should also be banned for 6+ games and pep be punished also for his attack on the ref
