Rival Watch Thread Watch

Start of next month

#pedant

 

Most of their injured players should be back by the time you go there

 

Mainly to increase the rumoured £40m release clause though

 

Southampton have QPR and West Ham before us.

We have Bolton, Everton, Tottenham, Besiktas.

We'll still win though #nojinx

 

Finally, a rival drops points!!

Only 5 points of 3rd place now but we have to play Arsenal and Soton away, and Spurs and United at home.

Oh not to forget Chelsea and City along the way

 

What clause?

#youmusthavebeensmoking

 

Not strictly rivals but...............Stuart Pearce has been turfed out of Notts.Forest

#nosurprise

 

So, it's like a kind of league then?

 

Yes,but with so many teams involved there will be plenty of tough games for our rivals also.

Example : North London derby next week,someone drops points.

We will also see relegation candidates fighting for their lives

 

They have predicted points for the end of season. Your graphs your predictions. Man United 71 points Liverpool 62 points. Looks like predictions to me Astro

You're right about our tougher games but thankfully they're nearer the end. Could be all over by then. Especially if you're right about that 9 point gap

"you'll be handing out glow in the dark plastic bags next"

 

Jaesus is Suarez doing a Torres? Blasts wide from 7 yards out. Nothing like the player he was for us.

 

Barca 1 down.

 

Barca would be much better served playing Suarez behind Messi and Neymar. Spends so much of his time waiting in the box for a pass instead of running at players, which is what he is best at of course

 

I guess Luis Enrique just isn't as lucky as Rodgers

 

So Southampton have dropped points at home. Agent Shelvey with a screamer

Shows how important it is for us to half a good rest of the season as this will keep happening to teams looking for top 4/6 places

Basically hope we got all the **** football played before January in one job lot

 

Mental play then. Villareal disallowed goal, then Neymar clear penalty and Suarez missed on the stretch.

 

Neymar tried to flick it over the keeper and run onto it to top it in.. instead he dives on the floor... he could have easily just knocked it over him harder and into an empty net though

Then Suarez slips as he has an open goal from 2 yards out and cant' quite get his head on the ball.

Proper end to end football though!

 

Nah, Neymr was looking for it. He should have actually shot by lifting it over the keeper instead of trying to be clever and chip it over gently to tap in after.
