Blackburn finished 7th that season, 61 points. Dirty Leeds finished 17th in the first Premier League season after they won the last old first division title.

Is refereeing fit for purpose in the professional game, it’s dreadful stuff and has been for ages. Calvert Lewin taps the ball into an empty net if Alexander Arnold doesn't get up and bring him down. Doesn't have to be deliberate for it to be a foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopparberg Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Only seen the second half. Carlo playing that PulisLike formation has worked. Shame for the Everton fans that would’ve been in the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he’d chopped him when the shot was taken, or before the shot, then fair enough. I don’t see that as a foul. Liverpool are pants though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is S6 Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Fulham only 3 points behind Newcastle now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owls maniac Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Liverpool’s implosion is utterly hilarious. Worst home run in nearly 100 years, facing the real prospect of not qualifying for the CL. Really have run out of steam. Also gonna be funny watching Bruce sweat, now that Fulham are breathing down their neck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing players hit with retrospective bans for diving but, haven’t seen it for a long time. The Salah one against Everton this evening was pathetic. Time to role this back out.

Night King Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Salah isn’t the only one but he dives and cheats every week. Even Carraghee called it him out yesterday. Loving this Liverpool implosion this season, great to see. Fulham picking up results now and playing ok most games. I’d be worried if I was a Newcastle fan. Picked up a few injuries too recently.

SiJ Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Liverpool are in a proper crisis now. Honestly, I think it's largely of their own making. Yes, they've had some rotten luck with injuries, but they've never got on with it, constantly moaning and complaining about how unfair everything is. Very negative mindset since the Van Dijk injury and it's all become a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy. Poor squad management too. Going into the season with three senior Cbs (one who is a crock) was always risky. They then wait until the last minute to get in some replacements; one from Preston and the other from rock bottom Schalke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls maniac Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 David ******** Moyes Manager of the season hands down. What a job he’s doing at West Ham. A point off 2nd with 13 games to go. Unreal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
