Tonight’s Football

[The Shire Claret]

What the hell was he doing there ?

On a plate for Liverpool

[claret wizard]

Not even a proper press from Liverpool and the Villa defence crumbles. 12 errors leading to goals this season.

[The Shire Claret]

Got to feel for the lad - reminds me of when Benson did something similar again Boro a couple of seasons ago

Needs to make up for it now

[The Shire Claret]

City at it again and Villa 1-1

[agreenwood]

I’m watching Luton & Plymouth to remind myself what alehouse football at a professional level looks like.

[The Shire Claret]

That run from Watkins was genius

[claret wizard]

Great goal that. 2-1 to Villa

[agreenwood]

Plymouth have just had a goal ruled out for offside.

Spoiler: The lad was at least a yard onside.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Plymouth have just had a goal ruled out for offside.

Spoiler: The lad was at least a yard onside.

That was a truly shocking decision.

Got to wonder what the linesman has seen there to give it. Didn’t even look offside in real time

[Buxtonclaret]

Yep.
Linesman definitely got that wrong!

[chekhov]

Yep.
Linesman definitely got that wrong!

The irony is, that’s the sort of bad decision where you want technology to intervene, not the really marginal offsides that take 4 minutes to rule on.

[ClaretLoup]

It’s gone under the radar a bit but Sam Waller is on loan at Rochdale and is making his eleventh appearance in goal tonight at the Shay. Four and a half clean sheets so far and only seven conceded.

Sounds like he is doing well at Spotland.

[The Shire Claret]

This Villa vs Liverpool game is phenomenal

[ElectroClaret]

2-2 at Villa Park.

[Buxtonclaret]

The irony is, that’s the sort of bad decision where you want technology to intervene, not the really marginal offsides that take 4 minutes to rule on.

Yes. Those 4/5 minute taking decisions are frustrating!
Especially when, after a replay, most of us can see how the lengthy debate is going to end.

[The Shire Claret]

Luton have scored

[The Shire Claret]

Nunez missed an absolute sitter

[Leyland Claret]

Nunez is Liverpools version of Foster

[The Shire Claret]

Nunez is Liverpools version of Foster

Probably harder to finish than fosters with the speed of it but yeah … shocker

[Buxtonclaret]

Plymouth score.
Great support too.
1-1

[chekhov]

Sam Mattaface really does witter on about nothing in particular. Meanwhile a football match takes place.

[burnmark]

3-0 Madrid. Mbappe hat trick

[karatekid]

That Mbappe chap seems decent.

[willsclarets]

City have just dropped off a cliff. The gap looks as big as it did between us and decent premier league teams last year.

[claret wizard]

Excellent Villa Liverpool game made better by turning over and seeing City have been pumped. Madrid crowd doing Ole’s now. Cheating two hats.

Getting ready for league 2

[Quicknick]

Getting ready for league 2

I'd put them in the Northern Premier East so BPA could play them.

[claretonthecoast1882]

Shame the City game wasn't on Prime, it would have been enjoyable seeing Pep schooled once again by Ancelotti.

Did City take their silly little banner last night ?

[Clovius Boofus]

Getting ready for league 2

I'd rather they stay where they are in the EPL. If they are relegated, they'll be unbalancing the league system. Let's have it right, most of their U21 academy team could walk the Championship.
