Bad Wolf Posted 2 March, 2019 Posted 2 March, 2019 Some massive ones for us. Almost more important for us than our own game (given how likely it is that we'll win). In other news Arsenal 1 up at Spurs.
Bad Wolf Posted 2 March, 2019 Author Posted 2 March, 2019 That’s Spurs first league draw of the season. Wow! That's quite some statistic.
OttawaSaint Posted 2 March, 2019 Posted 2 March, 2019 Terrible penalty from Aubamayang to win it in 90th minute. Easy save for Lloris.
whelk Posted 2 March, 2019 Posted 2 March, 2019 Brighton not winning as well. Disaster for them if don’t take 3 points
SuperSAINT Posted 2 March, 2019 Posted 2 March, 2019 Hate to say the but would like a Hammers win. This week & next.
Lighthouse Posted 2 March, 2019 Posted 2 March, 2019 Hate to say the but would like a Hammers win. West Ham alternate between world beaters and appalling, on a weekly basis. By this logic, we need them to be crap and lose tonight, then spank Cardiff next week.
SuperSAINT Posted 2 March, 2019 Posted 2 March, 2019 West Ham 2-0 Newcastle FT Newcastle (who I'm convinced will be fine) remain 4pts away.
tajjuk Posted 2 March, 2019 Posted 2 March, 2019 It's next week we need West Ham to do well, if Cardiff don't pick up a win there I struggle to see them picking up a point until they play Fulham at home, as they have Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool and Burnley away.
Lighthouse Posted 3 March, 2019 Posted 3 March, 2019 Not a bad end to the 'no one gives a sh*t' derby.
ChrisPY Posted 3 March, 2019 Posted 3 March, 2019 Stuart Gray back in a Premier League dugout at Fulham.
Lighthouse Posted 3 March, 2019 Posted 3 March, 2019 Fulham concede 2 goals for the 10th game in a row.
OttawaSaint Posted 3 March, 2019 Posted 3 March, 2019 Sessignon thought he’d equalized in last minute, ruled offside, was very close.
SuperSAINT Posted 3 March, 2019 Posted 3 March, 2019 Fulham concede 2 goals for the 10th game in a row. Sessignon thought he’d equalized in last minute, ruled offside, was very close. Great stuff. Was weirdly worried they would get something today.
Toadhall Saint Posted 3 March, 2019 Posted 3 March, 2019 Sessignon thought he’d equalized in last minute, ruled offside, was very close. Mores the pity then name isn’t Lukaku and the game wasn’t yesterday
Lighthouse Posted 3 March, 2019 Posted 3 March, 2019 Great stuff. Was weirdly worried they would get something today. Worried? Fulham are gone, they would need Champions League form to stay up.
OttawaSaint Posted 3 March, 2019 Posted 3 March, 2019 Mores the pity then name isn’t Lukaku and the game wasn’t yesterday It’s galling isn’t it. The week Salah tumbled in the box with very little contact and got a penalty we had 2 stonewallers ignored. Yesterday Aubamayang went down due to a gust of wind, no hesitation...penalty. Later we get nothing for 2 very good shouts for a penalty. Later on ref has no hesitation whatsoever in giving Utd a penalty after Rashfod pulled the old “I’ll just leave my trailing leg here” routine. It’s hard enough for a small club with players that cost a fraction of the superstars we are playing to get ahead and keep the likes of Lukaku etc at bay. But for the way the games are refereed in favour of those superstars makes games like yesterday an exercise in futility. It’s so frustrating, an equal playing field and we may well have got 3 points vs a massively superior team but instead put I all that great effort for zilch.
whelk Posted 3 March, 2019 Posted 3 March, 2019 Might want to redefine what you understand as ‘stonewall’
OttawaSaint Posted 3 March, 2019 Posted 3 March, 2019 Might want to redefine what you understand as ‘stonewall’ Fair enough. But I see the big clubs get very weak penalties awarded every week and then what I consider to be a much better shout not given for us. There’s no consistency at all.
OttawaSaint Posted 3 March, 2019 Posted 3 March, 2019 0-0 draw in Merseyside Derby means Liverpool now trail City by a point.
whelk Posted 3 March, 2019 Posted 3 March, 2019 Fair enough. But I see the big clubs get very weak penalties awarded every week and then what I consider to be a much better shout not given for us. There’s no consistency at all. Agree although Atwell is sh1t generally but if refs were good at spotting shirt tugs and giving them regularly then the players would stop. Smalling is always at it and don’t understand why refs don’t realise, even if reviewing after the game, and start clamping down in future.
whelk Posted 3 March, 2019 Posted 3 March, 2019 Poor Jürgen. Scousers must be feeling a little flat bless ‘em
Turkish Posted 3 March, 2019 Posted 3 March, 2019 Well done Everton, a win would have been better but that’ll do. I Definitely heard the Everton fans singing “always rhe victims it’s never your fault” in the second half. How can this be? It’s a great city full of wonderful people with great commaradery between the two sets of fans who are all families and friends.
woodsaint Posted 3 March, 2019 Posted 3 March, 2019 It's next week we need West Ham to do well, if Cardiff don't pick up a win there I struggle to see them picking up a point until they play Fulham at home, as they have Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool and Burnley away. They play Fulham away which may make it more difficult
beatlesaint Posted 3 March, 2019 Posted 3 March, 2019 Well done Everton, a win would have been better but that’ll do. I Definitely heard the Everton fans singing “always rhe victims it’s never your fault” in the second half. They were, which just goes to prove despite their whinging that the song has absolutely nothing to do with the Hillsborough tragedy.
shurlock Posted 3 March, 2019 Posted 3 March, 2019 They were, which just goes to prove despite their whinging that the song has absolutely nothing to do with the Hillsborough tragedy. Why’s that? Don’t follow pal.
adrian lord Posted 3 March, 2019 Posted 3 March, 2019 Liverpool looked like beaten men afterwards, who knew the game is up. A pivotal result that hands Citeh the title. Klopp, while pretending to be sanguine in the interview, looked resigned to it too.
beatlesaint Posted 3 March, 2019 Posted 3 March, 2019 Why’s that? Don’t follow pal. Because whenever there is a tragedy the two sets of supporters always stand side by side. Some of those who died came from families with Everton supporters. There is no way the people of Liverpool would turn on other people from the city over something as terrible as that. They are rivals, of course they are, but there isn’t a hatred like us and Pompey or Manchester and Liverpool.
stknowle Posted 3 March, 2019 Posted 3 March, 2019 They were, which just goes to prove despite their whinging that the song has absolutely nothing to do with the Hillsborough tragedy. Eh?

SuperSAINT Posted 3 March, 2019 Posted 3 March, 2019 Worried? Fulham are gone, they would need Champions League form to stay up. I'll take as many positives as I can from this weekend.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 4 March, 2019 Posted 4 March, 2019 (edited) Come on city, don't let the w ankers back in again... Virgil you need to agitate/snivel/play half arsed for a move if you want a trophy.... An 8 point swing to city Edited 4 March, 2019 by ALWAYS_SFC
tajjuk Posted 4 March, 2019 Posted 4 March, 2019 He looked angry in the post match interview, he knew they'd mucked up and wasn't towing the party line. Klopp and Henderson came out with all the it's a tough game blah blah blah but Virgil knew they couldn't be dropping points like that. A draw away to Utd is one thing, but Everton, even though its the derby have been poor all year really. Their front three is not in good form, the pressure is clearly getting to them and they have no midfielder to pop up with like a 30 yarder or a clever pass to help them win when not playing that well. They are IMO starting to show they are missing Coutinho.
Micky Posted 4 March, 2019 Posted 4 March, 2019 It's not a Playstation, it's proper football, you know.
OttawaSaint Posted 6 March, 2019 Posted 6 March, 2019 Anybody just see the VAR penalty Utd just got vs PSG. I’d be pretty upset if that was against Saints. This is a really controversial moment in a huge game, we haven’t heard the end of this.
Window Cleaner Posted 7 March, 2019 Posted 7 March, 2019 Yes, I watched the game. Now to me, without having seen any Hawkeye or DRS like projections, the shot is going into the top corner of the goal. Kipkembe blocks it by increasing his body surface by flailing his arm and a penalty is the nailed on decision. Qatar FC deserve everything they get, they're making a mockery of FFP and football in general. 600 million euros spent and the still can't beat United reserves.
doddisalegend Posted 7 March, 2019 Posted 7 March, 2019 New rules regarding handball coming in next season seems to suggest any defender who arms aren't by his side when trying to block a shot is going to get a handball against him. "The big challenge is the position of the arm. When the arm is totally out of the body above the shoulder it should be penalised. If the defender is making the body bigger in order to block the ball it is not fair." "It is different if the defender is challenging or playing the ball and it rebounds. But if he is looking to block a cross or a shot on goal and the player is trying to spread his body then it is a handball. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47471380 Not sure if I'm in total agreement a defender sliding to block a ball on the line, for example, is hardly likely to do so with his arms by his side.

mrfahaji Posted 7 March, 2019 Posted 7 March, 2019 I remember when Michael Svensson was sent off for a goalline handball against Spurs, he was sliding/falling to block the shot and had his arms out behind his body to break his fall (as anyone would). The ball went past his legs/body and hit his arm. In that situation I wouldn't be against a penalty, since even if it's not deliberate, the ball is going in the net unless it hits the arm, but to send him off for something completely uninitentional was ridiculous.
ashnats Posted 7 March, 2019 Posted 7 March, 2019 Anybody just see the VAR penalty Utd just got vs PSG. I’d be pretty upset if that was against Saints. This is a really controversial moment in a huge game, we haven’t heard the end of this. It was an easy decision, no question it hit his hand, no question he was "making himself big" to block the ball. Far more of a penalty than Cedric's for portugal, for example. I predict we will hear very little about it once Manu are out and a new competition has started. "a game of football to determine the victors for this year at least, and indeed at most".
Whitey Grandad Posted 7 March, 2019 Posted 7 March, 2019 It was an easy decision, no question it hit his hand, no question he was "making himself big" to block the ball.

"a game of football to determine the victors for this year at least, and indeed at most". "hit his hand"? It his his arm just above the elbow. His hands were shielded by his body in a completely natural position. It's difficult to see how he could have made himself less 'big' unless he had stuffed his arms down inside his shirt and grabbed both his testicloes at the same time.
