Speaking of the bairn, I saw he pulled out of a podcast with The Mouth stating his reason being "because of all the comments"? Think the other "guest" was Beresford iirc?

Hi Adam

He's canny enough. Certainly a tad more eloquent than young Pearson but then again that's a low bar. On that note I was listening to Radio1 on Bank Holiday Monday morning only to hear, the rather easy on the ear, Emil Franchi. Canny step up from navigating his way through interviews with pissed up mags outside the ground on matchdays ?

This you tagging the kid?

Hendrick's Reading 2nd in the Champo

Totally agree here like. Said at the time. Hound the ref so VAR has to intervene

Yeah, forgot about the red card reversal, which was correct and a rare moment of strong VAR work.

Appreciate I'm either being a hypocrite or trying to have my cake and eat it in a way but I've already said the West Ham goal should've stood. I just think Bowen left them a get out by, ultimately, trying to cheat a penalty. No argument the refs are shit and their use of VAR in total dissarray.

Otherwise known as Klopping

Ours is clear cut. Lee Mason wants either sacked or kicked to death, his choice ? The Bowen one isn't, imho. If I was a ref I'd give the goal. However, as Ive stated, Bowen leaves a foot in. We've all seen them do it. Vardy was particularly good at it. Salah too. Leave a foot in, cheat a penalty. Bowen, in cheating, cost his side an equaliser by given the ref/VAR team an excuse. I know Mendy wasn't ever gonna get up and save the resulting shot but Bowen tried to cheat and it cost them.

Dog awful it may be but, other than the institutional bias to the bigger teams that's always prevailed, I'm not minded to think the whole things stitched up. I just think their massively incompetent. I can't even figure out why ours was struck off. Its a goal OR a pen all day. Just watch the Bowen one. He leaves a foot in. Regardless that Mendy ain't saving Cornet's shot, Bowen gave the ref/VAR a get-out. If there was a definite conspiracy against us the foul on Fraser v Wolves wouldn't have been given. Maybees Miggy v City would've been overturned? It's just shit refereeing

Eh? He's had a stinker

This.

Seen him. Doesn't look well. Ron Jeremy's a good shout but he was no Big Man Ray

Was trying to remember that China Crisis song and googled "Big Man Ray" ? Just returned a host of links to some porn actor's finest work ? Of course, as I discovered, the track was Black Man Ray. Canny tune. No idea on the vids.

Few weeks late to this like but enjoyed that ????

Simply brilliant.

Some kids never heard of hindsight on here ?

I wish Joelinton hadn't crossed that ball 40 secs earlier and gone to their corner flag instead but hey-ho

Everton 1-1 Liverpool Brentford 2-1 Leeds Chelsea 2-1 West Ham Newcastle 2-2 Palace Forest 1-0 Bournemouth Spurs 3-2 Fulham Wolves 1-2 Southampton Villa 1-5 Man City Brighton 1-1 Leicester Man Utd 2-1 Arsenal

Only decent post in this thread.

Cold light of day, and 3 mugs of tea for clarity, I'm chuffed to bits. I've only read a few pages so apologies for any repetition but last night was immense. Very much like the City game and, as someone has said a few posts earlier, a marker for a new era. This may have been a repeat score of last year's fixture but it was so different. Way different. We're playing these teams as equals. Not plucky underdogs. Sure we're not actually there yet in all reality but Howe has this group full of belief. Fuck the ref, the linesman, Klopp and the whole ESL wankfest.

Try being me. Couldn't sleep last night so ended up in the huffy bed, raging. Comforted myself with a fantasy I was a 16yr old wonderkid playing against them at the home fixture. Matip halves me on the touchline, me in full flight, but I'm that athletic I disguise my fall into a roll, launch up and smash Klopp in the bracket breaking a load of his front teeth clean out. I got the foul as well. We won obvs. Plus I bent over Klopp as if to check he's ok but whisper, in German, "bite on that you whingy cunt" Dozed off, eventually

Wtf you on about? Regardless of what the home side are doing when times up you blow the whistle. You don't just let the phase run its course then blow. Having said that I'm assuming he did what you're suggesting and didn't just add on over minutes for bantz
