Kid Icarus

We've just watched Mason Greenwood get away with something we all watched. Our owners got away with telling the PL that they're not actually the owners. I'd be genuinely shocked if anything actually happens.

I get the gut feeling that Staveley and Boehly knew this was coming but disagree on how it'll turn out.

I'll believe it when I see it. Man City will get someone to investigate the Premier League like they did with UEFA

I'd be shocked if ASM doesn't start against Bournemouth. It's not Howe's style to not give players a fair crack imo. Look at the chances Wilson's had while not performing. He'll get at least 45 minutes to turn it on against relatively weak opposition, away from the pressure of SJP before bringing Gordon on imo.

BeCaUsE hE's aMeRiCaN!!!

Carragher asking Souness and Micah Richards why they'd have Shearer above Kane. Both annoyingly not making the obvious points. He had 3 major injuries and did it in a largely hit and miss Newcastle team. Kane will never be on the level Shearer was in his prime.

I just keep imagining a time traveller coming back to me at the start of the season to tell me how it's going by February (they don't have their priorities in order, admittedly) They tell me that we're 4th, a point ahead of Spurs with a game in hand, 5 points behind Man City in 2nd, we've only lost once, have the third best goal difference in the league, the fewest goals conceded, 10 consecutive clean sheets in a row, breaking the club record, the 2nd best defence in Europe, we've played all of the top 6 - beating Chelsea at home, Spurs away, drawn against Man City at home, champions elect Arsenal away, Man United away, and lost controversially to Liverpool away. Most of our remaining games against those teams are at home. ...and oh yeah, we're in the League Cup final. Our rolling 38 game points tally is only 2 points behind 95/96 with a -2 goal difference, yet we've been regularly playing Bruce-era players. Sometimes you need to step out of the now a little bit. All of the above is insane and although we can always do better, unless you're supporting 08-14 Barcelona, that'll always be the case, there has to be a time when you enjoy the ride I think.

Madley genuinely needs to be demoted. Worst ref by some distance at this level. Single handedly ruins matches.

Do they hell they've been absolutely rotten all season. They're becoming Man City's bogey team a bit though, still plenty of time in this as well.

Madley's fucking useless

Insolence

Same old story. Absolutely shit, but Kane scores.

Pep's so ridiculous we probably can't even rely on Haaland playing both games.

Dunno if it's an age thing, but I put a lot of stock in off-field influence these days rather than just about how much of a good player someone is. Don't get me wrong like, I think we have enough players like that (Trippier, Burn, Bruno, Lascelles, Murphy) but I care about it a lot more now than when Alan Smith was apparently a good influence in 09/10.

Don't worry, he'll bring him on with 5 minutes to go with everyone having a player on 12 on their FPL bench

We've conceded 12 goals all season, only 6 when that back 4 have played together. They need to find something to analyse I guess, but it's hardly a problem.

Spurs are annoyingly consistent though. Absolutely shite, Kane aside, and getting results regardless. Brighton are the most in form team at the moment as well, they have a great chance

I'm not so sure like, I've seen him miss them as well. (Crystal Palace, Southampton)

West Ham played well, but I don't think we should forget that Wilson should have won it for us twice over like. You can’t ask for two better opportunities than a one on one and a free header.

56 with Kane, Haaland, KDB, Rashford, Shaw, and Meslier x2 still to play. Went for bench boost with loads of people triple captaining Rashford. Enter Ben Mee

"You'll have better days" They're scared of Klopp like. Arse buttering cowards.

I can't help but be disappointed with a draw like. I haven't taken anything for granted, it's just that the winning feeling is addictive and it was a very winnable game, that's all.

Botman's absolute quality on the ball though and has been consistently. Everyone was sloppy today I thought

I mean I literally watched Rice take the ball off him and him pass to Rice So yeah.

The figures are still not right like, but each to their own.
