Could have a half-decent season yet, anton! ...and interesting edge, the yo-yoing of County and the Hangers in mid-table! -
Fabinho off, 0-1 to our eurobogeys (Ancelotti trained, know how to defend....& it was always going to be Mertens....)....
This is not going well.....Comment

Liverpool are going through a flat patch at the moment, letting in some goals but they are still moving forward. I think it's 12 games since a clean sheet.Originally posted by jayne lee wilson View PostComment

Well I got home after a sing with the choir at a NT property and a very wet day was somewhat brightened up by the result from the early match at the Valley! 3-1 to the Owls, and a great change to win with late goals to us for a change!Comment

Great win for Saints, great strike from Ward-Prowse, but.... the supposed handball for the equaliser? Most of the Sky post match comments said it should have been given as handball but.......here's the new law (again)....
"Deflections:
Premier League players will be allowed extra leeway when it comes to ricocheted handballs.
It is often impossible to avoid contact with the ball if it has deflected off the body of an opponent, team-mate, or even another part of the own player.
So a handball will not be awarded if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm directly from their own head/body/foot or the head/body/foot of another player who is close/nearby".
The ball clearly bounced up onto Boufal's hand from the defender. So the handball should not have been given - if VAR looked at it they correctly allowed the goal.
This happened for the McBurney equaliser for Sheffield Utd against MU last week....many fans don't seem to have got this yet.

Superb analysis JayneOriginally posted by jayne lee wilson View Post
The law of the football universe says that after a Watford beat us with a punched in equaliser two seasons ago, and a completely wrongly disallowed second from Charlie last season in the home hame against them , that we were way overdue a break against Watford.
Wasn’t there today, but we can only hope that the team and Ralph finally respond with some 90 minute performances. Boufal needs much more game time. If we can shore up the defence a liitle, we have the attacking threat to get a decent number of goals.
Four points in two games is top half form...
I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

Most exciting moment for a Liverpool fan today was.....Jonjo Shelvey (former player) with that stunning long-range equaliser for Newcastle against City....
Otherwise it was the usual agony-on-the-radio Saturday afternoon....Alisson sent off....hanging on.....but.... we won again...Comment

Great results for lots of the forum teams today...wish I could join in the fun, though sounded like we might have sort of deserved a point at least. Only consolation is that there are other teams down there languishing with us playing worse than the Buddies.

Yes must be really gut-wrenching to think you’ve only got an 11 point lead at this stage of the season, Jayne, mind you it might only be 8 if your erstwhile leader wields the magic over Everton tomorrow. Tough at the top I guess!Originally posted by jayne lee wilson View Post
