Match Day Thread 2017/18 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Seems to happen against us a lot

 

Can't say I've watched you guys a lot this year so I'll take your word for it.

I assume you're not disagreeing that arsenal were very poor defensively?

De Gea was superb again, he wins you guys so many points each season.

 

Nope, they were pretty poor but then so are most teams against us.

de Gea is the best in the world atm, he does his job superbly well for us. We are lucky to have a very good back up keeper as well.

 

When he tried comparing a standard yellow card tackle from Watford player on Kane with a clotheslines to the neck, just because it was in the same piece of the pitch

 

Both technical fouls to stop a counter attack. One was with a leg, the other a arm. I think the red was a bit harsh, it wasn't an intentional elbow, he was just blocking him and aiming to put his atm across the other guys chest.

 

Unfortunately he got him in the throat. If a play raises their hands and pushes someone that's a red, so sticking your elbow into their throat while they run quickly has to be a red in my opinion.

I compare it to rugby in some respect, a game that is far more physical. Do that in Rugby, and it's a high tackle and a red card.

 

Definite red imo.

 

Didn't say it wasn't a red, I said it was harsh. Going by the rule book, a red was correct

 

Wow, how good was De Gea yesterday? Incredible that United kept after Real were in for him and has practically kept United competitive since.

Arsenal will feel the result was unlucky.

 

With 127 goals, Luis Suárez has become the 10th all-time top scorer in Barcelona's history.

He’s only been there for 3 seasons!

 

down the other end things are hotting up.

Clements will be sacked this weekend

palace are playing awful stuff but are 18th now and could well be zooming out of trouble.

stoke, West Brom, newkie and Huddersfield all sweating.

Bournemouth, Swansea and West ham have all been in it for the season.

The managerial fun and games seems to have helped palace as they nipped a bad decision in the bud but Swansea have not backed Paul Clements properly and now he's hung on too long and they are losing games thry need some sort of result in.

west ham.made a shocking appointment.
Swansea struggling.
palace coming on a bit
Bournemouth hugely inconsistent
Huddersfield only playing at home
Newcastle in free fall.
stoke hugely inconsistent and manager under pressure.
west.brom fell for the pulis ****e. megson improved them and then they appoint the awful pardew. I think he's pants btw...

really are the dregs aren't they?

Southampton can't score
Everton beat two of these lot and are great it seems.


hell lfc trashed a few **** teams and everyone is delighted... great to accumulate points of course.

 

Everton are not great, they are a shambles. Thankfully they have well n two six pointers against relegation rivals.

 

Wonder how he would have got on staying in the premier league?

 

I was just thinking that with him as our GK we probably would have won the league with the SAS 5 years ago and last season. He could be worth about 15 points a season to his club saving a few wins and draws. Of course Mignolet is good but I doubt he is in the same class.

 

I honestly don't think Everton were getting relegated, employing Allardyce was either an act of desperation or a sign of direction the owner and board want the club to go in.

I'd guess the former because Allardyce is a dour survivalist who's teams reflect that philosophy.

 

There are currently 7 teams getting a point per game or less. They were never going down.

They should have waited an extra week and seen they had no reason to waste 18 months on Allardyce.

 

tbh I think 75% of the West ham performance was cos the fat **** was in the stand watching.

if unsworth for the job some players wouldn't turn up tbh

 

Of course they weren't. For a start there is West Ham, Swansea and Palace, who are all utter dross. At least two of the relegation spots will be taken by those teams and probably all 3.

And for Swansea fans think they need to be really worried because if they drop out the PL I think they're buggered and could free fall.

 

Couldn’t keep paying all that money per game from Unsworth.

 

Of course not, but now you've wasted £10m and a couple of seasons on Fat Sam rather than getting a proper manager in

Moshiri ****ed up sacking Koeman with no idea what would happen afterwards
