Do I have to get a mod to let you guys know we already have at least one transfer thread.

Yeah, I'm pissed. I've just watched my recording of the Chav/Canary replay and forgot to add the. 1/2 hour. Who'd a thunk the Chavs would let a tying goal in with 30 seconds left. Who'd a thunk the Chavs would get 2 red cards in extra time. Both players got a yellow for diving. Them in the 120th minute I get shut off.
Did anyone score or did they go to PKs. Did chelsea get beaten
These questions and more.

Yeah, I'm pissed...!!!

That's not an excuse. It's not the transfer thread.

That's as bad as the ref today screwing up the very first call for VAR.

Would have been nice to see the chavs get bounced, but not upset to see them have to work an extra 30 minutes and pick up a couple suspensions.
Would be nice to get a little separation from them...

Those reds carry over into the league, right?

Yes, they do.

Watford - who early in the season were firmly in the top 8 spots - have sacked Marcos Silva.

Silva was tipped to be one of the next set of managers that liked his teams to play football - interestingly enough - they blame Everton for unsettling him when Everton was desperately looking for a manager. Watford said no - and the slide commenced a little bit after (of course Watford could have been punching above their weight in any case).

They are still in 10th - but really only 5 points above relegation

Funny old world. Had Watford ahree, it would have got £10 million in compensation. Now, it’s likely to have to pay him until he next gets a job. The Southampton job may be available soon. Of course, he could wait until Everton sacks Allardyce and his army of specialist trainers in the summer

jeffcoop · Jan 21, 2018

With Spurs being held by Southampton, tomorrow’s game against Swansea becomes even more of a must-win.

Alexis Sanchez is a piece of garbage and, fittingly, he winds up at a piece of garbage club with their garbage man leader.

CB-West · Jan 22, 2018

I hope he clashes with JoMo at a very large level, and disrupts the whole garbage truck at the Old Trafford

Coutinho just came on for his first Barca appearance, albeit in the Copa del Rey.

Did he get injured? Just asking

Not until he's ready for his next dream club.

Wigan 2 goals up on the. 'ammers. The PK was a weak call but it was John Oliver.

Last time I played against Wigan we won 2-0. Clean sheet for me. Muddy match in the late 50s

burning247 · Jan 30, 2018

We lament our GK issues (and rightfully so) but wait until you see the 2nd goal that Arsenal just gave to Swansea. Woof.

(yes, I realize we would all take Cech in a heartbeat)

Cech has visibly deteriorated though to be fair.

burning247 · Jan 30, 2018

Ends 3-1. Swans probably never imagined beating us and Arsenal back to back. Arsenal will have to improve dramatically to get top 4 now and I just don't see it.

Red Bird · Jan 31, 2018

That Carlvahal chap seems to know how to exploit the weakneses of big teams, eh? I didn’t see the 3-1 win once Arsenal had taken the lead. And to be fair, Swansea actually played football unlike against Liverpool when it waited for the opponent to commit hara kiri.

SamScouse · Jan 31, 2018

Carlvahal looks like a very good bet for New-Manager Bounce of the Season award.

EruditeHobo · Jan 31, 2018

Wow. Spurs up within about 10 seconds.

CB-West · Jan 31, 2018

Beat me to it...

newterp · Jan 31, 2018

Are Manu trying to throw this game?

newterp · Jan 31, 2018

Do people realize how much shitty and snide fouling that Kane gets away with because he’s the savior of England? It’s pathetic. Already committed 2 yellow card worthy tackles. Only cautioned.

CB-West · Jan 31, 2018

Jones with a brilliant finish to the top corner...of his own net!
2-0 Spuds

burning247 · Jan 31, 2018

Owen Goal was a good pickup by Tottenham and he gets one against his former side. 2-0.
