Don't know much about Stevenage, but a smaller club high in the table, managed by Steve Evans, I presume they're a physical side who will be trying to bully us and get lots of balls into the box, and who can create an intimidating atmosphere at their garden shed. So exactly the sort of game you exp...
Can't see Jon Dahl Tomasson having much time left, Blackburn are on a run of 1 win in 11 league games and just 2 draws from the last 8. Strangely followed a very similar pattern under Paunovic here actually Situated in the playoffs for the majority of the first season until a collapse at the end sa...
Horror show for Liverpool today, never looked at it. That’s the thing really. Footballing wise, I haven’t been particularly impressed by Liverpool this season, certainly not relative to their league position anyway. But their mentality and their never die attitude has really shone this season Wasn’...
Arteta has really missed a trick this season by not using Jorginho enough. For all of the money and investment Liverpool spent in the summer, him, Rice and Odegaard were miles ahead of them this afternoon in every department Klopp made some strange calls. Gakpo has been there over a year now and has...
City host Burnley tonight. Burnley have scored one goal in their last 12 matches against City. City's last seven home games against Burnley, in reverse order - 6-0, 2-0, 5-0, 5-0, 5-0, 5-0, 4-1. I think I'll go home win. Test for Liverpool tonight - they should beat Chelsea, but the visitors have f...
Luton currently 4 up and pushing Everton into the bottom 3. What a weird result. If Luton stay up its arguably one of the greatest Premier League achievements ever. 3 wins in 16 for Brighton, injuries and Europe have taken a toll on their season Luton showing the merits of pragmatism and playing to...
Christ, Bournemouth really do stink the PL out don't they. Them, Palace and Forest are awful to watch. If Forest do go down, don't they have EFL charges to face re FFP also? Bournemouth one of the more watchable teams IMO On a very good run of form before today IIRC. After a slow start, Iraola is d...
Mental injury time at Brammal Lane 6 mins given on the board, currently in the 12 minute after 2 red cards and now the goalkeeper is being subbed off as a penalty is awarded Kudos to the referee and his team of officials for somehow managing to get all four big decisions in added time incorrect. Th...
One of the greatest managers of all time, but he's arguably done very little for five or six years now. Wonder if he might go to China/Saudi. I can't remember which thread it was in but I said yesterday that I think he is a shoo-in for the Newcastle job this summer. I can see Eddie Howe being let g...
Glad City won, anyone but LFC winning the league You can imagine with City's run in now that they're going to pick up momentum and that usually only means one thing. March will play a huge bearing on the title race, City have United, Anfield, Brighton, Arsenal and Villa in a row. Four tough ones an...
Thought the game was fairly entertaining. Exeter had some good ideas and played quite well first half but they made so many unforced errors it was unreal. One of those days when you really feel the difference in quality to the champ Thought their left hand side - Jules (goal aside) and the number 5...
Well, you can all enjoy me stuffing my face with pie if we still have a club and he does. I'm very burnt by coming round to Paunovic just in time for him to then become utter shite. He actually had a lot of bad luck at the end. We had the six point deduction and at Christmas lost ground as had to c...
What is your issue with anything that I've said? You think Jota's behaviour is acceptable? That is standard Liverpool. Didn't know you were a closet Liverpool supporter. Liverpool have certainly had the rub of the green with respect to refereeing decisions since the Spurs farce. Klopp, of course wo...
Jota doing things the Liverpool way tonight. They get away with murder. Eek. Too much Xmas sherry? You're better than this. Didn't used to be, but you have been for a long while. What is your issue with anything that I've said? You think Jota's behaviour is acceptable? That is standard Liverpool. D...
And 'we are doing well in spite of the manager' is tedious nonsense. He coaches them all week, picks the team, the formation, the tactics and manages things in-game. It didn't come off at the start of the season - perhaps in part owing to the relative inexperience of the team, but that team is now ...

McT again...you're the fcuking CDM I’d genuinely stick him up top at this point as he seems to have more of a goalscoring instinct that anyone else in your squad whilst simultaneously being very limited at what he’s supposed to be doing I guess he scored but Rashford was so poor up top. Ambles arou...
Mentioned a few weeks ago how football can be a simple game at times and whilst Selles has a way to go yet, credit has to go to him for realising what he was doing wasn’t working and adjusting. Pushing Azeez from being one of the AM’s to an actual winger has worked well. Adds another dimension to hi...
