Match Day Thread 2016/17 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Watched Spurs yesterday and frankly they were brilliant (granted Bmouth were awful).
Don't think they'll bottle it, really isn't much pressure on them. They're going to finish top4, if they catch Chelsea that's the title, if they don't then they finish 2nd and have had a great season.
They're also hitting form at the right time, not mention we need them to beat Arse and Utd.

 

The mancs fully deserved their win as Chelsea were so much below par. No one could have predicted they were going to be so poor. (And of course I blame astro who predicted that their win against Sunderland was going to be their last. Now this jinxing will probably see them beat Arsenal, City and Spurs )

 

****e result that, and the smarmy twat Vettel won the feckin F1

We have to take care of our own and forget all the other bs

As painful as it is to say i still hope Chelsea win the league as it would be embarrassing and rather pathetic if Leicester and then Tottenham win the PL before we manage to ... that being said, fair play to Spurs if they do it

 

You don't think was handball? Was clear.

Costa and Rojo both deserved reds for being ****s and both feigning injury. Didn't see any Costa elbow?

when I say lucky o don't mean they didn't deserve the win, just meant they got lucky break for the goal and played into their tactics perfectly.

 

He was about 2 yards away from a ball that was fired at him, no way was that deliberate handball

Costa elbowed Rojo as he fell on top of him in that grapple, watch it again. I've no idea how feigning injury is a red card btw, especially after you've been elbowed in the grid #kopitelogic

 

Shouldn't have his hands horizontal to his body. Did you hear him after the game? 'I had my hands down by my side and I don't know if it hit my arm'

That wasn't an elbow either. Costa jumped into him and Rojo went down grabbing his back. If Costa has even made any kind of contact with his elbow to his face Rojo would have egged it up. What about when Rojo kicked Costa afterwards in the scuffle when Bailly went down?

 

was very pleased today with our win today watched game at a easter party but had zero and i mean zero internet other cellular or wifi... interesting old shcool enjoyment of a terrible game.

Utd were very impressive today and killed Chelsea who looked like they are done.

Also caught bits of GP and that was marginally interesting too.

 

Not even the chavs are using that as an excuse for the defeat, you just sound like a bitter kopite

Watch MOTD re: the elbow I fully expect them to highlight it, and why do you think he was rolling round holding his neck ffs?

 

What you on about? Using what as an excuse? I've said that United deserved to win. Try reading my posts before jumping on to defend united . I said United for lucky with the goal which was handball as that then played perfectly into JM's tactics of sitting back and forcing Chelsea to come at them.

And I've already watched it on YouTube again, both fall to the ground and Costas arm lands near Rojos face. He then wraps his arm round Costa neck and they both roll around, Costa holding his face, Rojo holding back of his neck and his back. If the 'elbow' ha dmadenproper contact would have been holding his face.

There was nothing in either incident and they both just rolled around trying to get each other booked because they're both dirty players who try to push the limit to gain any kind of advantage.

 

They were both acting like ****s the entire game, it was nothing short of embarrassing (Neville said same thing too).

It was a comfortable win for utd today, annoying as expected a 1-1 but fair play - Chelsea couldn't even manage a shot on target!

 

Doesn't matter if the ball was only a yard away if your hand is in a unnatural position. Otherwise, defenders would star fish on the line and claim ball to hand.

Don't know whether it was handball or not today though, not seem it

 

I agree. The ref clearly left both at it and ignored their antics. He yellowed both for obvious offenses and could easily have sent either off.

Utd utterly destroyed chelsea in terms of tactics and fitness and aggression. Chelsea never looked like scoring and hazard was schooled ending the game looking totally lost.

 

The Rojo and Costa bit when he fell on Rojo and then Rojo went to grab him around the neck but didn't get near him. Costa then rolled around like he got his eye gouged and then for no reason Rojo did the same.

 

It wasn't handball imo and in any case it was 80 yards from the Chelsea goal ffs

 

Costa elbowed him on the way down which lead to the scuffle, it was his usual brand of ****s trick

 

Both were at it. Both are cheats and ref just ignored.... move on guys. Utd fully deserved that win, by far the better side.

 

didn't see any of that game but sounds like chavs were ****e and utd actually benefited from no zlatan and were worth the win

 

Almost bang on.
Lucky first goal within the first 10 for MU, clear handball in the build up.
Rashford and Lingard actually added pace to MU so could get in behind the Chav CBs (who were really ****e, especially Luiz)
Herrera marked Hazard out of the game. Tbf to the dirty little **** he was motm by a mile.

Two key injuries to Chav players before the game, Courtois and Alonso, and the whole system fell apart combined with Maureen's plan to stifle Hazard.

 

Lingard and rashford went at the left side of Chelsea and cut them up.

Herrera destroyed hazard in a very deliberate man marking job.

Conte is a brilliant one off game coach but mourinho absolutely took his team and tactics apart

 

In fairness rashford run and shot were good... but.... the keeper must be disappointed to be beaten from that angle.
