Just spotted Mike “f**king” Dean has become Catweasel  (ask your olds Kids 😁).

 

As an aside if you haven’t heard it yet - look out the Peter Crouch pod-cast with Dean as a guest - it is pretty funny.

[Jimmy_D]

How has Mike Dean seen a free kick there?

[OttawaSaint]

LOLvren on. Liverpool have had to use all 5 subs. Really low quality game this.

[OttawaSaint]

Jammy bastards! Everton should be ahead. 

[Lighthouse]

That was the chance. They’ll lose this now.

[OttawaSaint]

Richarlson giving Lovren a torrid time. 

[Jimmy_D]

Everton will feel they should have won this after those chances.

Cab anyone remember a good Merseyside derby? Fcking borefest as always

Yet the media, BBC in particular, insist on force feeding this wonderful spectacle on us in the belief that you can't be a football fan unless you lap this up.

Outside Murkeyside and their band of gloryseeking fans it's an utter borefest.

[Shroppie]

Really poor game now. Liverpool look unfit

If Liverpool somehow managed to lose the league from here... 🤣

Zszzzzzzzzzzz

Is it over?

[OttawaSaint]

I guess we were a bit tough on Saints’ passing in first 15-20 minutes. Some of the passing in this game was shockingly bad.

Yeah some teams have started off looking very ropey. For notoriously slow starters we were out the blocks very well. 

[Baird of the land]

Wow, Burnley have only got 7 subs, a bunch of kids make up the bench plus one in the team. Looks like they might be trying to freewheel to end of the season.

I read somewhere that they’re binning all the guys out of contract June 30th and won’t take advantage of being able to extend. Joe Hart for one, but there were 3 or 4 others mentioned. Makes sense, they’re not going down.

7 subs, 2 of which are GKs and 5 of them have never made an appearance for Burnley.

 

Hoping City can go ahead and make our home result to Leicester less extraordinary...

[S-Clarke]

Burnley might as well not have turned up.

This league is full of so much utter trash.

If we had the best fixture to start with, Burnley had the worst, especially considering that City already had a game under their belts.

For a bunch of hard working scrappers Burnley looked bamboozled early on - just as Arsenal did the other night a Sky stat came up in that Arsenal game as the match was entering the final 10 mins - shots on target Man City 16 - Arsenal 2.

City look like they have been training together all through lockdown - they are so metronomic I nodded off in both tonights game and last Wednesdays!!

[Saints 90]

city is looking dominate.. I say they run away with the title next year with Chelsea finishing 2nd and Liverpool 3rd tbh..

Not often I say this but I really want Spurs to win tonight.

Ditto - couple of Hammer fans I play footie with are so confident they won't go down. Be amusing if they did given the money spent.

If they do you can't really consider it anything other than self inflicted considering they've appointed David moyes.

Re-appointed...makes it even worse!

If they were reappointing anyone they should have gone BFS over him...least he could sort the defence out.

[Shroppie]

Two really boring games tonight

[Jimmy_D]

That would have been an amazing finish by a striker...

[trousers]

Get in

[OttawaSaint]

West Ham in deep doodoo now. They look utterly broken. No real leaders in that team. They need someone to step up or they are going down. 

They are lucky Bournemouth looking equally as hapless.

I just loudly cheered a Spurs goal. I need a shower. And probably a priest to confess to...

I still think they’ll beat Villa on the final day and probably stay up. Sadly.

[Jimmy_D]

Oof, if they're being consistent that should probably have been disallowed for handball.

[S-Clarke]

That goal was so perfect for this game! Really poor quality on show.

West Ham have had 'chances', but they just seem to lack any real shape or pattern to their play. Think they're in real, real trouble this time. They don't seem to have anyone who can score goals.

[OttawaSaint]

Flapper Lloris might be WHU’s best way back into this... 

[Jimmy_D]

Decent run and finish for someone that's been that long without a goal and coming back from injury.

[John Boy Saint]

Blimey a score line to mask the durge of a game it’s been.

[Jimmy_D]

West Ham fans are probably wondering where their next point is coming from.

They're not getting the luck going their way either, I'd be surprised if they manage to stay up from here.

I dunno, looking at their fixtures, they have a chance...

Burnley home, Norwich Away, Watford home, Villa home. 

They'll be struggling though, huge pressure on those key games. Bournemouth though.....I think they're finished.

Bournemouth, Villa, Norwich for me.

Edited 23 June, 2020 by S-Clarke

[Saint Garrett]

I think they’ll stay up, they’ll get Haller back in the side, and they’ll have enough IMO. 
 

They still have to play:

Chelsea, Burnley, Newcastle, Norwich, Watford, Man Utd and Villa....they probably need 3 wins. And Bournemouth are shite.

Yeah, I think Bournemouth and Norwich are going as well.

As for the last one, wouldn't surprise me if it goes down to West Ham vs Villa on the last day!

I suspect most would prefer the dild* brothers to go down?

Would be funny just for the Sky meltdown at who to root for next as at the moment it’s Liverpool followed by errr Liverpool and Liverpool then the 5 of the “Big 6”  swiftly followed by the ‘Ammers. 

Still these last few games will get them use to the emptiness of the London stadium in the championship.

100% agree. I’d love to see villa and wet spam go down.

Not sure I’m quite over them fellating West Ham dry over the last game at the Boleyn Ground. That was so nauseating. 

Fuck ‘em, hope they go down. Horrible team that plays shite most of the year but saves their best stuff for when they play us.

Norwich look like they have given up. No Pukki or Cantwell against Everton.

[Lighthouse]

The Blades really haven’t got going again.

[Jimmy_D]

It's a massive evening for the relegation battle, Villa have actually looked half decent so far.

I want Bournemouth, Villa and Norwich to win personally. Beat a couple of teams around us and really drop the Hammers in it.

Exactly my thoughts too!

[Jimmy_D]

This season's Norwich have to be one of the worst teams there's ever been at defending set pieces.
