The Round Ball Game - II

[Alison]

Only saw the pens , and didnt listen.
A team as mediocre as we are doesnt need bad luck. Sounds like the disallowed goal should have stood.

Good luck against Citeh, Alison.

Cheers Sainty, very sporting. Now I see you’ve got some tough league fixtures...

There seems to be a few forum teams more than capable of making their own bad luck at the moment!

Speaking of which

Hangers 1 Fylde 2

[antongould]

The Hangers have sacked their manager ..... not that unusual ....

[BBMmk2]

Burnley 1 The Toon 2

3 straight wins ..... arise Sir Rafa ........

My goodness! Hold our horses Anton, eh?

Despite Saints inability to win games however many goals start they get given, there was a pretty good afternoons entertainmaint at SMS.

Saints created plenty of chances, but the defensive frailties showed themselves yet again. Still , they did well not to crumble after giving up the two goal lead, and might well have won the game. Still in the bottom three, and tough fixtures looming, but they’ll take a lot of heart from today, not least from two youngsters getting and taking an opportunity to shine.

At last a home win for Palace after total domination of Burnley. This shot map appeared on MotD. Burnley had two .. off target.



Jubilant whatsapp selfie from son and daughter who went to Selhurst today. I wish I'd joined them.

Back to normal...again!

By the way I see FW only lost 0-4 today...they should get three points for that, I reckon.

Indeed bbm sound advice

Hangers 1 D&R 2
Toon 0 Hammers 3

So neither sacking your manager or wildly over praising him works .....

I certainly wouldn’t over-praise ours but there seems to be a certain attraction in the other choice at the moment, whe losing the plot and matches are in tandem!

THE DERBY TODAY...??!! THERE ARE LAST MINUTE GOALS AND 96TH-MINUTE LAST MINUTE GOALS, AND THEN THERE'S TONIGHT...!

Jordan Pickford and ...Divock Origi (forgotten man, now instant hero) at the heart of it... and dear Jurgen Klopp, galloping around the pitch in ecstatic-euphoric mode (and who would blame him, honestly) then later, apologising should anyone have thought it "disrespectful..."...
Oh beloved man!

I'm sure the neutrals are grateful that at least someone is hanging on to... well, you know....Do watch it on MOTD if you weren't tuned in live....

Yep, glad that the reds are trying to make a contest of it.

i’ve thought all along that their best chance was getting out of the CL, and letting City get bogged down in that, which surely has to be their main aim.

I’d assume that liverpool fans would take the PL over the CL this season , given the choice.

Well the CL is quite important to us, really.... and December 11, Liverpool v Napoli, that uncertain and fateful hour...another Cup Final...
..but when you win like we did on Sunday, you think I believe in miracles...

(IIRC, there's another rather important event taking place somewhere in London on that very day as well...oh, priorities, priorities...but probably just the first of several European "Cup Finals..." )

AntonGoukd I see we lost against West Ham then. Couldn’t last forever, I suppose. We desperately need something for this season, but I doubt it.
