Annoying that Wolves took 6 points off us this season when perhaps 2 pts would have been fairer.

Had both games been a draw i.e. Bednarek defends Jiminez better, and perhaps Perraud scores in the 91st minute with his header, then we'd have been on 37 points and them on 36 (as it stands live)

WH 1-0 up against Wolves now.

Keeps Wolves in our sights but puts WH 10 points ahead of us (having played a game more).

That's fine by me. We need to beat out two teams to make europe and for me that is Wolves and Spurs. Everyone else can keep winning.

If you spend close to 100 million mid season and not stay up, especially given how poor some of the teams at the bottom are, you should be routinely sacked at the end of season.

Unless you are Howe, in which case they should build you a statue.

On the upside, last time he was in the prem bournemouth spent big money and he didn't stay up, so atleast it's personal improvement

Looking at the table. 9th place, Wolves 5pts ahead of us in 8th, same number of games played. Happy to be 9th but annoying that both games vs Wolves had contentious decisions in them that favorured Wolves. Had it been 2 draws we'd be ahead of them.

Trippier also will cost quite a lot more by all accounts. If Newcastle stay up I think they are due to pay another £20m or something for him.

Ah ok, didnt know that.

My initial point was more about they still spent butt loads of money on the other players, so their average spend on them was higher than the theoretical £25m each.

To be honest I could be wrong. The clause was heavily rumoured in the run up to the signing but I can't find anyone reliable confirming it exists post signing, it just say "plus add ons" and doesn't elaborate

On Newcastle, I think the stars have aligned for them. A few new faces gave them a boost on the training ground when they got the cash injection and it coincided with the best run of fixtures you could ask for. Their 4 wins:


Leeds A 0-1 - Leeds have been dross for weeks 

Everton H 3-1 - we’ve seen Everton’s away form for ourselves, one of the easiest fixtures on the calendar. Set on their way by an awful wall for Tripper FK

Villa H 1-0 - Villa in terrible form too, lucky deflected FK from Trippier 

Brentford A 0-2 - played 80 mins against 10 men, put on a plate for them

And 1-1 draws with Watford H, and West Ham A amongst that. It’s a good run but it’s all gone their way. 
 

Amusingly, their shit £25m striker is still shit and hasn’t scored, their star man has got injured, Targett tbf has been 6-7/10 every week. Burn has given them some more presence at the back. I still think they’ll lose plenty of games but sadly they’ve done enough to stay up 

 

Now look what you've done - you've mentioned the £2m shit striker that hasn't scored!

Think that was the correct decision for offside there, VvD definitely interferes with the defender.

Yep, Van dijk blocked off the defender which left Mane with a free header he wouldn’t have had otherwise. even though he didn’t touch the ball was still interfering with play. Right decision

Who do we need to win to guarantee our Europa League place?

As they’ll both qualify for the champions league it doesn’t matter. Or does it go to the losing semi finalists?

It's a conference league place I think and will go to the league anyway. 

And yeh offside and foul IMO, he holds him back from making a run to track the guy that heads the ball, VVD knew exactly what he was doing.

I hate Pool as much as anyone, can see why it was disallowed and it’s in line with the rules etc etc

But I’d have changed the rules to give a goal like that, my opinion with all this involvement malarkey is that it should only matter if the GK vision/line of sight is impeded. 
 

It’s been an okay game though in fairness but the atmosphere is no different to what it would have been with any other teams, this fawning over Liverpool is annoying me

I reckon FF would've saved one or two of the Liverpool penalties. Yes, many were very good, but some were nothing special. The "specialty penalty saver" keeper moved too soon, especially against the lower order penalty takers. And his penalty was laughable.

Obvious dislike for Liverpool, but Kepa missing after his refusal to sub off a few years ago makes up for it. Part of the penalty shootout is psychological and facing Alisson or Mendy would have played on the shooters minds a lot more than what we saw with two goalkeepers looking like they'd never save a penalty.

Subbed on, fails to save 11 penalties in a row, and doesn’t get a chance to save another one because he has Chelsea’s only miss in the shootout... ouch.

That’s in the running for worst sub of all time.

In fairness, Carrillo did nothing for our £19m, whereas Kepa has succeeded in being counter productive for their £71m!

Maybe, but $19m for Saints is like $190m for Chelsea!

Tuchel looks like an idiot now for that sub. Is Kepa even that good at saving penalties anyway? Can't see that he'd be better than Mendy who is in the top 3 keepers in the world right now.

Sure that is the worst sub of all time, nothing can rival that in stupidity--why take off a goaly who is playing a blinder and has a clean sheet after 120 mins?

Indeed, he replaced a keeper that was probably MotM with an outstanding clean sheet and several incredible saves, conceded against every single Liverpool player, and then missed his own kick.

Every single one of his teammates scored. They literally couldn’t have done any more in the shootout, and it wasn’t enough because the keeper literally couldn’t have been any worse.

You could write it, but it’d be considered a terrible and overblown storyline that was too unbelievable.

I see Frank Lampard’s Everton are “incandescent” at the standard of refs and the decisions which haven’t gone their way of late.

Whilst we all know they were robbed of a blatant penalty on Saturday so were we away to City earlier in the season and so has been pretty much everyone else.

Just who the hell do they think they are?  Embarrassing.

Everyone would have been sat on deck chairs by the touchline if it wasn’t for them. That’s why everything should be given to them and I agree! 😂😉

Remember that you support a club that once complained to the league because a referee slighted poor Adam Lallana by suggesting he'd "changed".

Embarrassing indeed.

And how right Clattenburg proved to be.
