Popular Post Facecloth Posted 8 December 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 8 December 2019 Don't rate the Son goal, sorry. Like the Giggs v Arsenal goal or Henry v Spurs. They've ran a long way, but in a straight line and nobody has even bothered to try and unsettle them let alone tackle them. I love a long run where a defender is turned inside out, the player does a few step overs, maybe even a nutmeg in there. This was just a straight run up the pitch, the might as well not have been a Burnley player there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the Irish Chris Sutton (slightly unfair to him but he divides opinion). Dermot Morgan (Father Ted) used to do a famous piss-take of him on Irish radio and RTE, Very funny.

Pace, power, control, composure. I don't like spurs as much anyone on here, but they have a phenomenal player in Son 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree 100%, that Henry goal was one of the most overrated goals in premier league history for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should show everyone that we are really one of the big boys and have true ambition by tabling offers for the likes of son. No doubt the press would label it audacious.

UniFox21 Posted 8 December 2019 Share Posted 8 December 2019 Burnley defending has been woeful and they've missed their chances. Son goal was great, but why has no Burnley defender just clipped his heel and taken him out? Just kick his leg at half way and regroup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, take a booking and that goal isn't scored, 99 times out of 100 that's what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighPeakFox Posted 8 December 2019 Share Posted 8 December 2019 Have to say I was amused by some of the zealots trying to give Pearson credit for yesterday's result by simply sitting there. Oh and wearing a suit too - that'll show 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shailen Posted 8 December 2019 Share Posted 8 December 2019 It's looking like it is only going to be us that can stop Liverpool this season. They have almost been faultless this season in picking up results but imo they are not playing at the same level as they were last season. One bad result and I can see them going on a bad run, losing the momentum they have built till now. Question remains if we are going to be able to capitalise on them dropping points.

foxfanazer Posted 8 December 2019 Share Posted 8 December 2019 Will be interesting to see if Sterling comments on that racist man City fan yesterday. He's become a bit of a spokesman on racism in football so it could weaken his stance if he doesn't condemn this incident publicly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raj Posted 8 December 2019 Share Posted 8 December 2019 Racist/monkey chanting in the last month of the 2010 decade??? Unbelievable really, especially as it's a club where a player like Sterling has rightly been so vocal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me of a game, city v Bristol Rovers abd I was in the East Stand(Bike shed). A group of lads were giving a Rovers black player loads of abuse,not ALL racist but he was singled out Julian Joachim came on and scored... these same people where shouting JJ"s name and rejoicing. Me and mate just shook our heads at them...still don't think they'd understand the irony in their actions! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The Syrup Posted 8 December 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 8 December 2019 Unsurprisingly the dickhead giving out the racist abuse in the Manc derby has been arrested. Also been named and shamed on social media, plus his employer has been made aware. Criminal record, plus probably a lifetime ban from the ground and losing his job.
