C'mon Liverpool, shake a leg! Need to keep Man U in the relegation picture.

The Rabona - the tool of the one-footed footballer.

Amad down injured out of embarrassment.

Maybe we were in for better players but they were put off by the possibility of a points deduction, which was hanging over us at that time.

Sky Sports: There's your 5 minute review of that incident packed game, now **** off Fulham and Ipswich it's time for Liverpool/Man U.

You could see how disappointed he was when doing his media interviews earlier this week. It's only the Giants, he could get the yards he needs before HT.

Now get the winner Fulham.

Peno.

Ipswich defend better than us and that's why they can steal points off better teams here and there and we can't.

You mean less weak at CB. Still nowhere near the required standard.

The Eagles are locked in as the no.2 seed in the NFC and so Barkley is being rested today. So no chance to break the record.

Even in the original a lot of the Gladiators were rubbish. The makers/producers obviously think fitness models make for good athletes. They rarely do.

The summer window was the one we had to get right, but the threat of a points deduction hindered that. There's a slim chance we might find an inspirational, unwanted re-tread similar to Huth this January, but I don't see many decent players lobbying their agent to get them a move here at this moment.

Window closes 3rd Feb.

Of course you'd always like to upgrade, but we've kept 1 clean sheet in 20 league games. We've got far bigger issues to sort out before we even get round to Mavididi.

Exactly. If that Newcastle goal is not a goal then neither is our winner in the FA Cup Final because the ball hit Perez's hand to give us possession.

That's ok though as we won't be seeing the PL again for the foreseeable after this season.

Carry-On. 5/10. About 90 minutes in I suddenly realised Sid James and Bernard Breslaw weren't going to make an appearance. Very disappointed.

I think 33 points will be needed. So 6 wins and a draw, or 5 wins and 4 draws. Not impossible, but highly unlikely imo.

Think it's that Cannon might be recalled and sold to either Luton or Sheff Wed, and that we're still interested in Lindelof and Collyer from Man Utd.

He got Ayew right. Maybe he got lucky.

Akinbiyi. Btw check out the state of our squad. How on earth did we win?

I don't think we've got the minerals required to grind out an away win (except at woeful Southampton if the ref gives us a little assistance). And Villa are still pretty formidable at home (they have the 4th best home record). Everything points to a routine Villa win. But I guess that's why they play the games, right?

Yes, it's all opinions really. The facts are that Barkley needs exactly 101 yards or more against his old team the Giants next week to break Eric Dickerson's single season record of 2105 rushing yards. I think he'll do it.

2023/24 accounts need to be submitted by close of play tomorrow. Premier League will publish any PSR violations by Jan 13th. https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/32537828/chelsea-leicester-everton-nottingham-forest-psr-deadline/
