Not many games today, but there is the small matter of an FA Cup semi final between City and Liverpool.

Also a few PL games, and there's been a thrilling start to the Edinburgh derby, 2-1 Hearts after a frantic opening 25 minutes.

1-0 Brighton in the dying seconds, Spurs being Spursy again.

Has the paint dried yet? Spurs at home manage to muster 5 shots with 0 on target, even though they managed 48% possession. Modern football at its best!

Yeah.
Complete bore-a-thon.

Some week for Brighton going to Arsenal and Spurs, and returning home with 6 points.

Yes they endured a brief blip, but credit to Potter he's swiftly revived their season again.

I guess that's good news for us, and Brentford could well finish top half, after looking in serious trouble only a few games ago.

2-0 Utd, brace for Ronaldo.

2-0 Liverpool
Big error by Steffen trying to play football

City looking pretty poor so far without some of their top players.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Apr 16, 2022 3:48 pm

Saints 1 Arsenal 0, does anyone want top 4.

2-1 Utd, maybe Norwich aren't done for yet.

2-0 Liverpool after comic defending by City.

How come Fernandinho always gets away without getting booked?

Cos he plays for City. They don't really foul anyone.

Norwich equaliser.
Watford equaliser.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Apr 16, 2022 4:15 pm

3-0 Liverpool

I think we might find out today how good a coach Pep really is.

norwich and watford appear to be motivated by out crisis

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Apr 16, 2022 4:16 pm

Brilliant 3rd goal from Liverpool, and 3-0 doesn't flatter them on the balance of play.

Milltown1882 · Post by **Milltown1882** » Sat Apr 16, 2022 4:17 pm

Scintillating from Liverpool

jos · Post by **jos** » Sat Apr 16, 2022 4:18 pm

Looking like a walk in the park for Liverpool, they are playing superbly.

The Premier League is not being kind to Burnley today.

I'd take the scores as they are. A point for Norwich and Watford doesn't really change anything imo.

Pressure needs to be put on Everton as well.

Spurs lost. Arsenal losing. Man drawing home to Norwich. Crazy day in the Premier

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Apr 16, 2022 4:36 pm

3-1 Liverpool, City couldn't could they?

Arsenal gone to pieces the last couple of weeks, pressure telling?

Booked now, maybe should have been red.

Amazing finish at Watford. They miss 2 open goals and the Brentford win it with seconds to play

Spijed · Post by **Spijed** » Sat Apr 16, 2022 4:58 pm

At the very least I thought Roy Hodgson was going to make Watford hard to beat. It seems anything but.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Apr 16, 2022 5:02 pm

Well Norwich and Watford losing is good anyway.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Apr 16, 2022 5:02 pm

We need them to beat Everton

elwaclaret · Post by **elwaclaret** » Sat Apr 16, 2022 5:08 pm

I used to really like my occasional visits to Maine Road with friends, even got to the point I would wear a discrete ‘Oasis Roundel’ along with my Burnley arm badges on my flight jacket. However since the takeover the number of complete tools following City has made me even want Liverpool to beat them, a lot of vile and entitled bigots, more like a big London Club than a Northern one these days.

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Sat Apr 16, 2022 5:14 pm

No idea how the Watford goal
Was allowed by VAR. Clearly offside as given by the lino. No clear and obvious error. Made no difference in the end but a shocker non the less

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Apr 16, 2022 5:19 pm

City pull it back to 2-3

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Apr 16, 2022 5:19 pm

3-2 in IT.
