What I ask is: is it impossible for Livarpool to NOT win the league? Btw we're still 2nd place mate, you should be in Dreamland too (regardless of our shitty games vs ManCity and Scousers) ! Just saying I’d say looking at the way their playing and the lead they have It’s foolish to even consider it a possibility until they show some serious signs of a collapse. Obviously it’s not impossible but it’s highly improbable and until the lead is at least halved it’s not even worth considering.

trabuch Posted 29 December 2019 Posted 29 December 2019 (edited) I think I dislike Liverpool even more than Spurs. (At least Spurs provide a lot of amusing moments). I think I dislike their managers equally though. By the way - on VAR - if they didn't draw precise lines and do it to mms, you know full well that the TV companies would. It's a TV phenomenon. VAR, as it is currently implemented, is totally disrespectful to fans in the stadium. Edit: Bloody hell - Man City's first goal. Disgraceful. Edited 29 December 2019 by trabuch
Guest Kopfkino Posted 29 December 2019 Posted 29 December 2019 Have I missed something with this Man City goal that is the new whinge magnet for people? The Sheff Utd player kicks the ball to the ref, he gets out of the way, doesn't touch it and plays on as there is no rule saying it should be stopped. I could have some sympathy if the ref had ran 20 yards to make the block but the Sheff Utd player really didn't need to pass him the ball.

Players aren't expected to make passes based on where the ref is. The ref clearly interfered with play - that shouldn't happen. Unless he touches the ball there is no specific rule that says there should be a drop ball, but it wouldn't have been unreasonable in the spirit of the law. But the spirit of the law is virtually non-existant now.

Really winds me up, not sure why, although at the moment anything to do with Liverpool winds me up. Just stinks of self entitlement, which sums the club and fanbase up I guess. The local rail system here has those adds all the way up the escalators. Pisses me off every time I see it. 1

Obsessively whining over the best team in the league getting too many (mostly correct) VAR decisions is a very bad look. Especially for the second-place team, especially after the best side just made you look like a schoolboy eleven on Boxing Day. We really should be better than that. 3

Kendal Fox Posted 30 December 2019 Posted 30 December 2019 (edited) Something else that is irritating about Man City and feels like big club entitlement is that, during the festive matches, they've only had to play 1 away game (the loss to Wolves) - with 3 out of their 4 Christmas fixtures being played at the Etihad. We, on the other hand, just got the 1 game at home (vs Liverpool), with 3 of our 4 fixtures being away! I might be being a little pedantic, but looking at it like that, it is annoying Edited 30 December 2019 by Kendal Fox

Aus Fox Posted 30 December 2019 Author Posted 30 December 2019 https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/50942494 Anyone who watched the game see anything? Is he in trouble?

Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 30 December 2019 Posted 30 December 2019 A little behind but only just managed to watch the Norwich v Spurs game, that offside decision on Pukki was a disgrace, how they came to that decision is beyond me.

Obviously I’m bias but I don’t think Liverpool was anything special against us, based on the game yes they probably deserved to win but it wasn’t because of them “blowing” us away, we just never turned up 2

Anyway we’re a big club these days aren’t we?
