Nah, that’s always a penalty tbh.

[Gemmill 46064]

Liverpool v Brentford on Saturday. I bet the fucking FA bans Toney on Friday night.

[Gemmill 46064]

Dead frustrating that tonight, cos but for that idiotic defensive brainfart to give away the penalty, Liverpool weren't scoring tonight.

 

Still though, 1-0 does fuck all for their GD so we're still effectively 7 points ahead with a game in hand.

If there's no contact between the players then by definition it can't be a foul/penalty

I think I've said before, Gerrard once got a pen at Sheff Utd I think where he stepped over the leg of someone who slid in in front of him then dived and Dermot Gallagher or some other apologist said that the intent which could have brought him down was enough (if it was a favoured team ommitted) 

 

Also how does that one tonight compare with Allison's on Fraser a couple of years ago?

Sorry Ederson not Allison.

he kicks fresh air then the Liverpool player falls over his leg after he withdraws it. Soft af 

[ewerk 31216]

So if a keeper rushes out and doesn’t get the ball but forces the attacker to jump over him then that’s not a penalty?

fyp

 

soft as fuck, like I said. No fucking chance Fulham are getting that at anfield 

[Dr Gloom 22176]

If we get that, I’m saying it’s soft as fuck and I’m raging if it’s given against us. If that’s an obvious pen I don’t even know what game I’m watching anymore

Not in my opinion, no  

 

Most strikers would make sure a trailing leg made contact. Interestingly discussion on this issue

Not sure you could argue it was a reckless tackle by the player. He was trying to play a side foot pass

The FA should just come out and say the can't let Liverpool miss out on ECL qualification so need them to get more points.  At least be honest about it.

[Holden McGroin 6785]

So are we now saying we need more than 66 points? That’s a question directly to you, the so called power-bi Accountant by the way.

Why does his sexuality matter?

He has allies in 66 pointsville

 

 

[Dr Gloom 22176]

Liverpool could quite feasibly end up on 71 points. 
 

The question is whether Man U’s arse starts to nip if they drop points this evening. We can afford to drop points to arsenal and still feel fairly comfortable about our chances with Leeds and Leicester to come 

[wykikitoon 20757]

No surprise the bin dipper at work is saying it was a pen

where the fuck did they pull 47 predicted points since eddie took over from?

[wykikitoon 20757]

Also why Liverpool predicted 80 points yet Arsenal 61, just 7 points ahead of Brighton

And so the backtrack begins. Welcome to Pampers

[Kitman 2207]

I can’t see it myself. Surely we can garner 6 points from 5 games in our current form? And that presupposes Liverpool don’t drop any points from their remaining 4 games, which seems unlikely to me.

I’ve still got my sausage out

 

Let’s talk again in three games time. If we get zero from our next nine available points then I’m reaching for the panty liners. Just saying that out loud sounds ridiculous though, doesn’t it?
 

I think we’re getting at least a point at home to arsenal on Sunday and we’re beating Leeds. Arsenal are going to be more worried about us than we are about them.

 

Four points from our next two games and the final three games of the season are a procession. 

[Dr Gloom 22176]

@Christmas Tree  champions league is nailed on because Howe won’t let standards slip. The sort of collapse required to fall out of top four isn’t plausible based on our form for over a year now. 
 

we can even afford to average just a point a game for the rest of the season. When was the last time we went on a run that bad?

 

there’s a reason we’re odds on with the bookies. They’re not in the habit of losing money. We’re not talking about your crypto bets here…

So you’re saying we’re due one?
