Sheffield battling now

Crikey that was close

claptrappers_union · Post by **claptrappers_union** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 1:54 pm

BHA should’ve won that game and their players know it

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 1:54 pm

What an end to the game! I thought they'd nicked it.. phew!

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 1:55 pm

Jeez. Can’t believe that won’t go in. Good result for us.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 1:55 pm

Good point for 10 men Blades.
Though how that didn't go in then at the death....
Decent result for us.

SalisburyClaret · Post by **SalisburyClaret** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 1:55 pm

All worked out nicely for us

Brighton bottlers

Granny WeatherWax · Post by **Granny WeatherWax** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 1:55 pm

Happy days, although way too early to be worrying about other teams.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 1:56 pm

0-0 was preferable, but can't be too fussy

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 1:56 pm

Great result.

Sheff are gone, Brighton are in our sights.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 2:00 pm

Definitely 2 points dropped for Brighton there, how they didn't bury a couple of those gilt-edged chances only they know.

A win tomorrow and we'll leap above them, they are definitely in the dogfight, and I wouldn't completely discount Arsenal from the equation either, they aren't picking up points, and we can move to just a point adrift of the Gunners with victory over Wolves.

Not really, a relegation battle is likely this season... and with Fulham beginning to perform and WBA bringing in Big Sam we’ve got to hope that other results always go our way.

If we get 36 points or thereabouts we are safe regardless of what other teams do. One thing to remember is that if the bottom clubs pick up then those above us will get dragged into the mix.

Hopefully... I can’t see us picking up many points this season though. But I’ve been proven wrong for the last 5 years.

Make sure you keep predicting as it seems to work out for us

. I’ll keep predicting my top half finish for my nice 18/1 odds just like last season...kerching. Thankfully, the bookies feel the same as most of our fans...hence there is much value to be had

Spurs v Leicester now

Woodleyclaret · Post by **Woodleyclaret** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 2:44 pm

Excellent tackle today and a very harsh red card ,would add bite in cm
Apparently refused a new contract
He has an eye for goals as well

I hope Manure stuff Weeds. Can't stand them.

Can’t stand either of them, is it possible for them both to lose?

Definite pen

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 3:08 pm

Schoolboy defending from Aurier he's a liability, a gift for Leicester right on HT.

At least Spurs will have to come out in the 2nd half now.

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 3:14 pm

At least Spurs have to come and have a go now. Its one thing us setting up to keep it tight and nick one, but with the resources and attacking talent Spurs have its a poor do.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 3:19 pm

Surprised that Bale is only 31.

I'm sure he only plays when he can be arsed.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 3:23 pm

0-2

Edit...VAR rules it out.

SalisburyClaret · Post by **SalisburyClaret** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 3:24 pm

Another VAR error

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 3:24 pm

offside because of the line drawing again

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 3:26 pm

VAR farce again.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 3:26 pm

Spurs pretty poor so far.

Mrpotatohead · Post by **Mrpotatohead** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 3:26 pm

Fail to see what is right and proper about ruling that goal out.

It looked onside to me regardless, but less than an inch of his shoulder being beyond the last man had absolutely no bearing on the goal whatsoever.

It is these sorts of decisions which are making me give up watching at the minute.

SalisburyClaret · Post by **SalisburyClaret** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 3:29 pm

No check on precisely when the pass was played means it’s all guesswork

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 3:30 pm

Josh Ginnelly just come on for Hearts in the cup final. Celtic 2-1 up, but looking ropey at the back.

Paul Waine · Post by **Paul Waine** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 3:30 pm

They've got to re-write the offside rule. Take it back to what it always was: where are the players' feet? Forget about armpits, t-shirt sleeves and how far forward players are pointing, it should be just about where are their feet. Yes, measure it to the millimetre if you must, but please only feet.

The ref and the lino only looked at feet.

Now, as you were.

claptrappers_union · Post by **claptrappers_union** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 3:31 pm

I think it should be where the feet are placed. Its unfair because the strikers posture will always be leaning forwards when he is level.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 3:34 pm

0-2

Dier? has ever a footballer in the history of the game ever lived up to their name like this fella?

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 3:45 pm

2-2 at Hampden, Celtic defending about as well as Spurs.

Liverpool will plss the Premier league title again this season,I thought Spurs might have given them a run for their money.....but no they flatter to deceive once again.

I’d take him - impressed me at Bramall Lane last season when they destroyed us.

Burnley1989 · Post by **Burnley1989** » Sun Dec 20, 2020 4:19 pm

Yeah, one of a few players I’d take from them. Id probably take Wilder if Dyche ever left as well and we found ourselves in the championship

Three certainties in life, death, taxes and Spurs being bottlers.

Good luck to Leeds from me. Been a breath of fresh air for the premier league this season.

Jose is purely a 'Park the bus' manager regardless of how good his players are. That's how he's achieved success and he isn't going to change now.

I'd actually prefer Leeds to lose.
