We're just stopping the play mid-flow now because that fat clapped out cunt gets a knock are we? Die in a fire ref.

Of course that cart horse who looked absolutely finished the other day clears it off the line for them. This fucking season man

That's a fucking pen like. Won't be checked though, they'll just play on.

Someone fucking gamble on that ball man. Stood stock still like a bunch of cunts

Fuck off. We've been absolutely pathetic. How the fuck was he just left unmarked like that? Trippier playing him on. Shite.

Dubravka comes off his line, well I'll be damned.

I get the feeling Howe is a lot like KK where despite the jovial and mild-mannered front; if you cross him, you go.

Knowing our luck they'll be introducing their newest character Ole Gunnar Dingle tonight and have the Woolpack decked out in red.

Happy enough with the team. Bit confused why he's not put Pope back in yet tbh. Bench looking very strong. Shame about Wilson missing out, hopefully Isak has shaken off the illness from the weekend.

I agree with you. People hark back to the pre-VAR era as if it's some kind of "good old days" whereas I remember the reality and we used to get absolutely screwed over almost weekly by the awful standard of refereeing. The focus should be around making VAR better, faster and idiot-proof, not scrapping it. The semi-automated offsides are a good first step. The next thing they should do is separate the PL refereeing pool into VARs and on-field referees. The people using the tech should be using it constantly and should be absolute experts in it rather than using it one weekend in every three and running round a pitch the other two. Nobody has ever complained about Hawk Eye (Sheff U v Villa 2020 aside) because it's quick and (99.99%) flawless - the aim should be getting the VAR system as close to that as possible rather than thinking of binning it.

absolutely love that iconic Uncle Neil quote.

The section of the City fans bothering to celebrate properly after that result could probably get home in a fleet of about four taxis. Absolutely shite support.

Just a shame there wasn't a little bit more riding on it for Liverpool with that last Villa goal. If they were still in the title race and that goal happened I think I'd have to have phoned into work tomorrow as I'd have torn myself to bits laughing.

McGinn either winded or maybe merely the fact that he's had to waddle around at high speed for a full half, not sure which.

This could end up 5-5. Defenders absolutely woeful on both sides

Get in, great strike Tielemans. Fuck off Klopp

Go on, do a silly dance after that one Martinez.

Good season for him considering his age, made a good audition in pre-season and got himself a few first team cameos. Hopefully he can show he's developed this pre-season and be a useful depth option for us. Rather an up-and-coming like this lad come in and maybe make a mistake they can learn from than the likes of Dummett who will make the same mistake and always be crap.

I was in one of the boxes yesterday, on my way out of the Milburn entrance after the game Amanda was about 10 yards ahead of me leaving with a few of her family and associates. Got to say, she stopped and said hello and posed for photos with absolutely everyone who wanted them and genuinely looked so pleased to speak to people, was great to see.

He's dug out out the deep shit several times and then looked like a naff divvy others. My point is next year we should hope to see some consistency from him rather than this Jekyll and Hyde figure we have now.

Shame those useless Forest cunts didn't go down. Shite

Needs moving on. He's made of crisps, it's a piss take really. If there was no FFP or squad rules you'd keep him but with the restrictions that are in place, we can't waste a valuable striker slot on someone only available for 20 games each season.

Almiron and Barnes were absolutely chod. Barnes is weird, looks a world beater one week and then like he's got his boots on the wrong feet the next. Hopefully a symptom of the long term injury and he can find some consistency next year. As much as Miggy is a cult figure, I'd rather he was moved on. Infuriating player.

Really poor today but would still move Almiron on ahead of him.

Frustrating one that, but got to hope Forest can do us a favour later on. Ref didn't like us all afternoon either.
