Who do you all want to win the games??

I want Everton because of Bradley Lowery and then I think I want the other to end a 3-3 draw!!

conyoviejo · Post by **conyoviejo** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 11:40 am

I want Man Utd to lose every game they play as they are the most horrible horrible team in the world with the most horrible horrible fans in the world.. Just saying like ..

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 11:41 am

Everton and Liverpool, because the other two teams have disgusting managers.

taio · Post by **taio** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 11:42 am

Everton and Man United coz I don't like who both are playing

aclaretinstevenage · Post by **aclaretinstevenage** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 11:47 am

I don't care who wins but I will be watching with the sound off as I can't stand SKY pundits and presenters lick arsing Mourinho, Guardiola and Klopp(even though I like Klopp) and Koeman is just dull.

I expect neither game to live up to the Sky week long "Manchester V Merseyside" ********.

Goobs · Post by **Goobs** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 11:51 am

Would prefer the two scouse teams to win however think it will be city win and a draw in the other.

bobinho · Post by **bobinho** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 11:52 am

Dislike them all.

Disappointed klopp is Liverpool manager cos I dislike them the most, but like him the most out of all their managers.

Did like pep pre-meltdown. What is it about Burnley that gets into these top managers heads? Mourinho has never recovered his composure since we went to the bridge and got a point against his superstars.

Post 2. You forgot the manager.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 12:29 pm

I'm in agreement with RileyBobs again today.

Can't stand either arrogant manager whom both think they are above everyone else.

Sadly, chances are that they will both win.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 12:33 pm

Cant stand Mourinho and Guardiola showed himself to be a **** after our game with City.

Classless arseholes who are not half as good as the media and average football fan thinks they are. I would absolutely love to know how well they both would have done in Seans position when he took over Burnley.

Garnerssoap · Post by **Garnerssoap** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 12:38 pm

Meh about both games. I like it when it's a big club against one of our relegation rivals - got someone to support then

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 12:49 pm

We've beaten two of em and got a cracking point at United.

That's all I'm bothered about.

Would be nice to see the Scousers beat Rovers rivals, though.

MACCA · Post by **MACCA** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 12:51 pm

It's tough. I would like both Merseyside teams to win.
I'm rubbish at predictions, which means both Manchester clubs wI'll.

Get some cash made people.

Redbeard · Post by **Redbeard** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:46 pm

Yep, two big games involving four teams all from the old Lancashire's biggest two cities.

But of course the most important game in Lancashire this weekend was yesterday's at TM.

dpinsussex · Post by **dpinsussex** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:48 pm

Couldnt care less because neither game features the mighty Burnley UtC

billyhamilton82 · Post by **billyhamilton82** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 1:51 pm

Man City to win because Everton are our new "target" in the table.

WHY!!! They play some wonderful football and never go out to kick the opposition up in the air. Agreed their fans can be gloating Aholes.

Throughout Manyoo's 'glory years' the likes of Roy Keane, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville were very adept at kicking the opposition up in the air.
And they now have a manager who takes the 'pragmatic' approach to the rules. So I must beg to differ.

Sidney1st · Post by **Sidney1st** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 2:18 pm

Everton take the lead

2-0.

Me too, conyoviejo.
Ever since the school playground when they bought Willy Morgan off us.

JohnMac · Post by **JohnMac** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 3:11 pm

Brilliant third for Everton.
Guerdiola must now realise what it is like to manage in a League that has either no challengers, or realistically only one.

Perhaps we'd better stick to targeting Stoke or West Brom, Billy...

What a despicable, petulant team Man City have become.

Ha ha 4-0

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 3:23 pm

John Stones is ace.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 3:25 pm

Can't believe a 12 year old just scored.

Aye - just imagine the tantrums there'd have been if we hadn't given them their second goal at TM.

ClaretLoup · Post by **ClaretLoup** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 3:28 pm

Everton have done a .."Burnley "on City

29% possession 6 shots 4 goals.

randomclaret2 · Post by **randomclaret2** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 3:28 pm

Isn't 'Pep' the world's greatest ever coach ? Maybe having players like Messi, Xavi and Iniesta at Barca helped him a wee bit ?

Ashingtonclaret46 · Post by **Ashingtonclaret46** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 3:28 pm

I think that Otamendi gets the oscar today --even though he was amongst quite a cast of actors from City.
What a great result when a team gets just 29% possession, has 6 shots and scores 4 goals.
Pep looked really happy at the end ---oh dear, how sad!

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 3:29 pm

that right there was incredibly impressive from Everton considering how much inexperience they had in their team. Can't see Pep hanging around much, he'll go back to Barca at the end of the season

City seem to have replaced Chelsea as the most sulky desperate bunch of cry babies. Shame for em.

CJW · Post by **CJW** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 3:31 pm

I know "stats are meaningless", but how do you have 71% possession, have 13 attempt on goal and lose 4-0???
Brilliant.

Lost a lot of respect for Guardiola after his press conference when they very luckily beat us. Really enjoyed that, now my love of Manchester United will be willing a Merseyside double.

TVC15 · Post by **TVC15** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 3:39 pm

Tom Davies - 18 year old...man of the match and scoring his first goal for his boyhood team.

He`s been brilliant in the last few games since he came into the Everton team - home grown from youth team and took the p-iss out of Ya Ya and the rest of the overpaid City midfield.

City looked clueless - it could have easily been 6-0. Possession means nothing when you are just going sideways and backwards.

Pep interview should be entertaining - the interview is probably now either cacking his pants or thinking this is going to be golden (or both !)

Brilliant.

Ask Liverpool, they lost to us and had more shots on goal I think with more possession.

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 3:45 pm

And it surely needs saying once again - Man City really did pay £47 million for John Stones!

Both well made points, but many people seemingly ignore.

I know that the PL has only been won by 6 teams, but its very very rare for a team to walk this league.

The pundits will probably say that Pep hasn't got the players he needs to play his style of football, but if the lads he's got now can't play pass and move football then whoever agreed to their wages needs sacking.
Alternatively he should find a system to suit the players he's got, like any other manager does.

IndigoLake · Post by **IndigoLake** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 3:49 pm

If John Stones is worth near 50 million then what on earth is Keane's value? In all seriousness, Stones is a good player but City are a disaster defensively and that's down to tactics, not personnel.

rejected · Post by **rejected** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 3:56 pm

Well. That was some game!!

Wonder what this will bring!! 2-2 my prediction.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sun Jan 15, 2017 4:31 pm

Quality play by Pogba. It's best not to draw attention to yourself with fluorescent hair highlights if you're going to do things like that. This has been a swell day so far.
