2022/23 Other games

[East Kent Saint]

Amusing to see the wheels come off PSG again , how long before the owners sell up or are they doomed to repeat the same each season.

[Guest]

Also amusing to see Richarlison have a hissy fit again.

The ego of R9 and the ability of Guly do Prado.

[Southernwinner]

Juanmi plays like dog shit 

[sad saints fan]

Just listened to a bit of the Utd /Real Betis game , sounds like basically if you stop Rashford you stop Utd . But stopping Rashford is a big ask of anyone . 

Also thought I recognized one of the Betis players .Juanmi think he is the one who spent a rather unsuccessful season with us a few years back . He set up the equaliser.

AMN isn't that guy. Get KWP back to RB on Saturday.

[HarvSFC]

Not quite another game and I haven't watched much of MotD over recent years for obvious reasons, but Lineker's not presenting this weekend, or the foreseeable and Shearer and Wright have both said they aren't doing it without Lineker.

Could be the beginning of an end of another footballing era.

Hopefully they get Stelling to present it with Le Tiss as a pundit. 

But seriously I'd like to see Des Lynam back with Alan Hansen was much better then

Surprised it took this long for the BBC to pull him to be honest.

They thought they could strike a deal , I think , but ran out of time so probably will have to bring Boris in for a small fee tomorrow.

None of them are any great loss as far as I'm concerned.  I watch MOTD for the football, not the mundane 'analysis'. 

[Whitey Grandad]

I record it and fast forward through all the crap.

[EssEffCee]

Rumour has it that Pompey plan on showing solidarity with Gary Lineker and won't appear on MOTD for at least 20 years. 

[jawillwill]

Weirdly MoTD will probably end up having record viewing figures tonight because of all this.

Some tough games to predict today

I can see Everton and Leeds both getting at least a point, maybe more with home games v Brentford and Brighton.

Surely Spurs will turn up against Forest after the criticism they've had,  fans booing etc , Conte on his way out

Palace , no wins in 9 games, somehow often seem to do well against Man City 

 

[LiberalCommunist]

Todays fixtures are intriguing, and will probably mostly go our way. All building up towards the disappointment of tomorrow. But, I'll take that right now. 

 

Peak interest. Its the hope..........

[Whitey Grandad]

The Times today has an extensive discussion about the relegation issue. It does point out that there is still one third of the season left to go.

[Saint Matty 76]

Liverpool, Brentford, Brighton, Chelsea, Spurs & City.

Got a clear one to cheer on in every game at least!

[SotonianWill]

Ffs give me strength 

[OttawaSaint]

FfS! Useless scouse twats!

[Saint NL]

Bournemouth are giving it a real go, unlucky last week and now beating Liverpool.

[JRM]

Tell you what, Bournemouth look organised and Jack Stephens is actually no worse than our CBs 

[whelk]

Liverpool back to being shite again

Daylight robbery getting £70m for VVD

That 7-0 result is going to look even more ridiculous after this weekend 

[OttawaSaint]

This is why the Jones era was so damaging. His shitty tactics  saw us piss away a run of winnable games and now we have to rely on others to beat our rivals. 

Still plenty of time but every week will have its shock results. Hopefully it'll be us getting a shock win.

Big jump. Hopefully they pull a collective hamstring...

Van Dijk having a shocker.

[obelisk]

Liverpool at home on the last day should be a nailed on 3 points given this form. 😁

Shows how poor the premier League actually is now. Nothing to do with competitiveness. The teams in the bottom half, just aren't that good!

He says whilst Bournemouth are beating Liverpool who just beat United 7-0.

[OttawaSaint]

Not sure if this is true but it seems that when a team has a game like last week,  7-0, almost everything going in that in the next game they ten struggle to score.

It's like they used up all their luck in one game. 

 

[Whitey Grandad]

We all know how this is going to end.

Steven Gerrarrd to jump out of the crowd in full Liverpool kit race through on goal and slip over as he goes to equalize. Final score 1-0?

Carra's going to need a coke zero can for this week...

[OttawaSaint]

Bournemouth looking the more likely to score here. 

[OttawaSaint]

And now the var handball lottery...

[Whitey Grandad]

Oops

[Whitey Grandad]

Wasted

[OttawaSaint]

I don't think that should he handball. His back to the ball, used his arms to elevate himself and the ball hits him from up close.

VAR: hold my beer.

[OttawaSaint]

You useless cunt Salah! 

FFS!

[davefizzy14]

What a joke! 

[Hawkswood]

Typical 

[OttawaSaint]

No doubt the twat will roll one in on the list day to send us down. Ugh! This game!

[OttawaSaint]

Hopefully Utd are as shit as this tomorrow.

[tajjuk]

Have Liverpool turned into Spurs? This seems very Spursy. 

[whelk]

All the bottom sides playing at home this weekend apart from us. Aways wins please

 

[Saint Matty 76]

Ah what a shit start to the weekend this is.

[Saint_clark]

There you have a quality keeper making a difference for Bournemouth.

[hypochondriac]

At least Bournemouth wont be able to enjoy proper match of the day after this one.
