Are you watching Rafa?

Can’t believe no one has mentioned the mighty Motherwell beating Rangers at Ibrox.

[Gemmill 50409]

Howay THE KENNY! 2 nil down back to 2-2.

[Gemmill 50409]

That result sank my coupon today. The silver lining is that I'd taken Rangers ht/ft so it was in the bin by before the second half started and I able to enjoy the full time result.

[Tom 14086]

Said this a thousand times but their cant be a luckier team in the history of sport than Liverpool. 

[Gemmill 50409]

I totally get that there's 1m 56s passed between Liverpool being handed the ball back and the goal, so Forest still had a job to do blah blah. But firstly, as they point out in MOTD cos they know their Back to the Future, if Forest get the ball back, EVERYTHING that follows it changes.

 

But secondly, what is going on psychologically with the ref there where he feels that "well I better give the ball back to Liverpool". There's a deep seated need to favour this lot. I feel like a magedia conspiracy theorist here but it's not normal the amount of help they get.

[Gemmill 50409]

I'm fast forwarding through most of this MOTD cos I pathetically can't bear to watch the comebacks from these teams we're chasing.

 

I will however watch the full highlights of Everton getting botted at home by THEE AMMUZ.

He has scored quite a few goals already you silly goose 

 

Three. I should know cos I've got all of his team's matches sending alerts to my phone, just in case there's some hot Maxi news I can bring to you.

 

YOU'RE WELCOME BTW you SILLIER goose.

Bottom half of the Championship is mad  Sunderland might well be dragged into it yet

Nice of Fulham to do us a favour and great to see the referee's association ensuring Liverpool have enough ET to get a winner.

The cunts are going to do everything in their power to give them the Klopp wet dream.

[Kid Dynamite 7717]

I'm confused as to why Paul Tierney didn't blow for full time when Forest regained possession on the edge of their box? Surely that's a new phase of play and it was beyond 98mins at that point.

What they put up on the board is only advisory. Not seen it but Isegrim said yesterday that the time added on was legit. 
 

Think we’d feel the same as Forest but they did have 80 secs to defend better before Nunez scored apparently. It’s like  Eddie’s first reaction to Diaz’s winner last season at Anfield… “we should’ve defended the corner better” ..  

 

 

[Gemmill 50409]

All valid points but we almost need an independent inquiry at the minute to look into the stuff that just goes in this lots' favour.

 

There's absolutely a "you make your own luck" element to it, and maybe it's as much as 90%, but there's no doubt in my mind that this lot get help in a way that I don't think any other team does, including Man United.

[Alex 36887]

Being really good at intimidating officials clearly helps. Especially if you’ve got carte blanche to do so. Yet they brought in a rule aimed solely at Tindall because a few managers didn’t like getting wound up when things weren’t going their way. Hopefully Man City can spoil the party for the insufferable cunts

Aye I'm hoping Man City wreck Ten Hag's lot this afternoon and then Klopp's lot next weekend.

There’s too many teams and points between them and the relegation spots imo. You can 150/1 for them to go down. Mind, you can get 200/1 for them to get promoted  

Next season might be a tough one like

Don’t know if this has been posted on here before but I seem to remember people questioning the impartiality of those who compiled it   it’s like a “black ops” counter propaganda campaign

Hasn't it always been the case that the "big" teams get more than the rest? Fergie time etc. 

I suppose it's just more obvious now with VAR. 

[Alex 36887]

The amount of time added on seems wildly inconsistent.

Expect Man Utd to pick up some points off the back of this now.

It’s funny to see the media narrative, willing Klopp to have this glorious swan song. Which is completely at odds with what virtually every non-Liverpool supporting football fan wants.
