Wish the referees would book players who waive imaginary cards to get someone booked.....Mahrez should be booked for diving but he did get 5.9 for artistic impression......
Assistant ref behind the Atletico goal initially points to a corner then changes his mind when ball came off the defender..........seems every 50/50 decision is a home decision......
Been impressed by Ndini in the 2nd half for Leicester, just operating in that holding role, been disciplined cutting out the service to Griezmann....
Wigan come back from 2 down to win 3 - 2, Nick Powell hat trick. Shades of our comeback against Liverpool when we avoided the drop but Wigan only have 4 games left and still 4 points from safety. Comparable challenge to ours during that first recent Premier League season ?
Barnsley were leading away to Wigan 2-0 after 59 minutes. Wigan bought on sub Nick Powell on 66 minutes. 71 Goal N Powell 72 Goal N Powell 82 Goal N Powell
watched a young Ajax side beat a woeful Schalke team. Joy to see 17 year olds with complete confidence in their own ability. Here in England we are s**t scared to blood 20 year olds
Nice job Barnsle, rolling over - now with a couple of late wins on the trot, Wigan are back in the relegation survival mix. We really need to get a few extra points on the board over Easter, tomorrow at Bristol City and Monday home to Sheff Wed, or we could end up in this situation:- please log in to view this image
nasty scenes in Lyon after fans clashed. That's the problem when you open the doors to everyone. Local for most Turkish fans
Brighton looking likely to go up as champions after Leeds late equaliser, Houghton again proving what a top manager he is at this level...
Leeds nicked a point at Newcastle. When Shelvey started those time wasting tactics at the corner flag , I'd hope it would come back and bite him on the 'arris. Wood, with virtually his only touch in 90 minutes, did just that
Not sure if worth a separate thread but here are the last four sets of fixtures. For us, Wigan and Blackburn are the ones to watch. Wigan play Brighton (loss), Cardiff (maybe draw), Reading (draw if they're lucky) and Leeds last day (loss). Blackburn play BCFC so six pointer there, Wolves (lucky draw?), Villa (loss) and Brentford (loss). Looking at just those two clubs, and with Rotherham already gone, and the other six pointers too, leads me to conclude that Watford R is actually correct. It would need a very odd set of results for us to be in danger. Another point or three would be nice and avoid any danger of squeeky bum time. Relax and enjoy the ride (in as far as you are able to!). 17.4.17 Brum v Burton Blackburn v BCFC Brighton v Wigan Cardiff v Forest 22.4.17 BRFC v Barnsley Burton v Leeds Forest v Reading Wigan v Cardiff Wolves v Blackburn Villa v Brum 29.4.17 Barns v Burton Brum v Hudd Black v Villa QPR v Forest Reading v Wigan Brighton v BCFC 7.5.17 Brentford v Blackburn BCFC v Brum Burton v Reading Forest v Ipswich Wigan v Leeds
Wigan are 10 points behind with tough looking games. I'm more concerned by Blackburn if we dont pick up a win or two.They could well beat Bristol and Villa and Brentford will have nothing to play for in their last 2 games. Brentford would probably love to see us relegated too.
Looking at those fixtures Brum need to watch themselves as well. They have a terrible goal difference as well. If they go down that would be a serious contender for worst managerial change ever wouldn't it!!
