Kid Icarus

I have a general hate for what I'm about to say, but Lock the thread. Pathetic

Nah Edit: Willock's been poor the last few matches, but KaKa's hysterical and always has been. Not necessarily a criticism really, it's just OTT.

Of course you don't understand Kaka, outside of being hysterical, there's very little you do.

The thing is as well, take away that awful decision and the ref was still absolutely shocking. He punished us for very little and let them get away with everything, but also completely singled out Zaha by giving him nothing when he was blatantly fouled. He was terrible.

KaKa has a weird hard-on for slating Willock.

Anyway, fuck it. For posterity: Pope: 7 Trippier: 7 Schar: 6.5 Botman: 6.5 Targett: 6.5 Longstaff: 5.5 Willock: 5.5 Joelinton: 6 Almiron: 6.5 Isak: 6 Fraser: 6

Will be interesting to see if the ref was asked to look at the screen. Those are the ones that always result in an overturned decision.

Which one's that? Genuinely never seen a screen review result in a decision being upheld

The thing is though, it doesn't even fucking matter, at this point we all know that 'look at the screen' means 'overturn your decision'

Absolutely, but that!? I obviously thought too highly of him to think even he, or anyone, would fuck that up. The way that 'look at the screen' means overturn it is so embedded into it now as well. There's no way anyone without that in their mind watches it in slow motion and decides to disallow the goal.

It's the same old shit time and again 'ooh well the officials were bad, BUT...' Nar, there's no 'but' in matches like that, those are the fine margins. We were the better team, created the most chances, and scored a perfectly fine goal. Anyone whinging about how we should have still scored on top of a perfectly fine goal doesn't seem to have any experience on how matches like that go, again, those are the fine margins, we took that fine margin and had it taken away from us with a decision that has left me completely dumbfounded in its stupidity. There's that well known phrase, don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity. That decision stretches that theory to the absolute limit. I can only assume that Lee Mason and that cunt ref both sustained head injuries 5 minutes before kick off because that was fucking unbelievable and neither of them should ever referee again. As I said in the officiating thread, if that happens in South America, they're stabbed on the way to their cars

That is the worst performance I can remember. Genuinely should be investigated it was that shocking. That happens in South America and they're all stabbed on the way to their cars.

Nah fuck off to all the stupid moaning cunts on here. We were robbed by the officials, it's a simple as that and if you disagree you're a cunt.

Worst referring performance I can remember. It's barely believable

FUCK OFF!!! IT'S THEIR FUCKING FOUL

'Toney's done nowt for me, I'll take the -4 and get Kane'

Should be 4-2 or something. Hopefully we can force it in the second half. Ref, yet again is a joke.

I've heard about the whole 18 month Tuchel honeymoon period a few times from pundits and journalists for the reasons Milanista mentions. Us getting 4th aside, it all makes sense.

Exactly. Fines are just fees.

My own bitter reason for not liking their fans is that when they got Pardew I went on their board and warned them about him in the most respectful way I could, genuinely trying to be helpful and get them up to speed on what to expect from him. One of them said I was 'giving it the big un' so now all of their fans are that one stupid person and I hope we smash them in their stupid faces. I do like their kit though

Having the audacity to draw a moral line on who it is and isn't okay to work for conveniently beyond the Daily Mail and thinking you have some sort of aspirational moral code for doing so. Attempting to virtue signal from inside fucking Dracula's castle You're a fucking ghoul. Fuck off.

Which they won't. It's applied willy nilly

Thanks for the breakdown. I read this So if you predict Newcastle 1 - 1 Notts Forest and it finishes 1 - 1 you'll get 10 points. But hadn't realised that the 10 points is if it's already your chosen double.

Slightly confused by the scoring I predicted Man City 6-0 as a double, Liverpool 2-1 and Man United as a correct result I can't work out what the Man United result would give me in points, but don't the Man City double and Liverpool scores give me 30 points alone? Apologies if I haven't worked it out correctly.
