Saturday football

[Coffee one sugar]

EVERTON vs MANCHESTER UNITED (1230)
The media have already started getting all excited over this, and specifically over David Moyes. Remember him? One point separates the two sides, and who’d have thought that just a few weeks/months ago? Should be a tight and decent game. Draw.

BOURNEMOUTH vs WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS (1500)
The Cherries are within spitting distance (take my word for it) of a Champions League finish while Wolves are within similar distance of an unwanted bottom three spot. Momentum, form and home advantage together point to just one possible outcome. Home win.

ARSENAL vs WEST HAM UNITED (1500)
Don’t know what to say. Paqueta’s joined the non-walking wounded. There’s a stronger sense of by how many than of who. You figure out the rest. Home win.

FULHAM vs CRSYTAL PALACE (1500)
Two consecutive wins have put Fulham back on course for now, although Palace can point to three wins in their last six so they’re unlikely to be pushovers. Tight but probably inevitable. Home win.

IPSWICH TOWN vs TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR (1500) 
Spurs’ last win at Portman Road saw Jurgen Klinsmann score twice in a 3-1 victory. The visitors must be yearning for another Klinsmann to boost their flagging campaign. Away win.

SOUTHAMPTON vs BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION (1500)
It must be excruciatingly painful being a Saints supporter these days. There’s really no way to talk up their prospects against any opposition, so let’s just say it as it is. Away win.

ASTON VILLA vs CHELSEA (1730)
Probably the game of the day. It’s been six games since Villa last won a league fixture and this one offers little in the way of hope to remedy that. The visitors have won two, drawn two and lost two in the same period. Hmm. Draw.


SUNDAY

NEWCASTLE UNITED vs NOTTINGHAM FOREST (1400)
Home advantage will tip the balance even against high-flying Forest. Just. Home win.

MANCHESTER CITY vs LIVERPOOL (1630) 
The game of the weekend. There’s little to add. Away win.


TUESDAY

BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION vs BOURNEMOUTH (1930)
The south coast is busy. Draw.

CRYSTAL PALACE vs ASTON VILLA (1930)
Hmm, there’s little on form to distinguish these two. Draw.

WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS vs FULHAM (1930)
Wolves’ main concern is what lies beneath, lest it be them. Fulham are in the happier position of having to focus on what’s above. Away win.

CHELSEA vs SOUTHAMPTON (2015)
Oh dear. Home win.


WEDNESDAY

BRENTFORD vs EVERTON (1930)
Home win.

MANCHESTER UNITED vs IPSWICH TOWN (1930)
Home win.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST vs ARSENAL (1930)
Tight one. Away win.

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs MANCHESTER CITY (1930)
Away win.

LIVERPOOL vs NEWCASTLE UNITED (2015)
Home win.


THURSDAY

WEST HAM UNITED vs LEICESTER CITY (2000)
Home win.

The Madrid game has been quality and 2 world class goals

[Ladysmith]

I actually don’t mind Millwall. Possibly because we hardly play them.

[Eerie Decent]

I've never worn Crocs.

[Fauxstralian]

You certainly have a lot in common with Millwall fans. They are all cunts

As an obese Lidl shelf stacker in your shiny pink polyester shell suit, crocs & beret you fit right in
All bought by your sister. Who is really your Mum 

[Mad Ferret]

Most proper West Ham fans have more in common with Millwall fans, than they do with a middle management HR worker from Australia who wears beaten up ASICS with his M&S suit and Aspinal rucksack, who sprints for his underground train when he's 2 minutes late.

All this commotion about a mistimed challenge and a bit of close to the bone stick from the crowd for fuck sake. Load of fucking melts support us these days.

 

Yep, that was a big part of the rivalry - it was like looking in the mirror a bit with them.

But now, our fan base is full of home county wankers, probably more like Palace or Fulham.

A real shame.

Ha ha
Dismal 
Utterly dismal

Rivalries ?
An established Premier league team in Palace
Some two bit perennial failures from Bermondsey aren’t their rivals. 

That post just proved my point

Got to say Millwall chanting ‘let him die’ is fucking disgusting as well. 


 

You pathetic fucking cսnt.

Calm down alt.

Interesting to see both you and the other one back within hours of each other after being nowhere to be seen for a week.

 

[Leavemyarcelona]

In football if someone is seriously injured (ie have just had a boot through their head from a lunatic) usually the crowd is silent & the player is applauded as they are stretchered off
Millwall are cunts & the reaction of that rat faced Scottish weasel that manages them that it was just part of the game was pitiful 
25 stitches in a cut behind his ear. If the boot was a few inches over & his temple he could have died
Reckless & dangerous tackle. Inexcusable 
Did I mention that Millwall are cunts?
Another nothing season 

You don't understand rivalries. Football is not for you

I guess that Millwall fan has only ever fought his own fans at Wembley so didn’t realise other fans don’t go in for their style of a few slaps followed by a swing of a hand bag before a make up bum in the toilets 

[Mad Ferret]

Getting done by the Nigels - hope he never forgets it.

Fair play, that took some bollocks.

Typical Millwall coward:

All the snowflakes triggered by the Millwall fans  It is part of footballing rivalry, they don't really want him to die. Stop trying to sanatise our game

"let him die" as always been sung? When a player gets injured. Why the sudden outrage?

To be fair to their keeper, he actually played the ball but momentum took him into the player. 100% red
If you look in the build up Mateta pushed their player. By todays standards that is a foul by Mateta.

[Takashi Miike]

I wouldn't write off any manager that goes to Man Utd, the club is toxic top to bottom, and that Ineos cսnt just accelerated that bad atmosphere. I'm not sure they will ever get back to their glory days, which is fine by me

[Fauxstralian]

I don’t see anything in the current Man Utd regime that is turning them around 
Not Sir Jim Catweazle or even Sir Dave Brailsford & his magic cyclists pills
With their losses any attempt to pay off expensive flops & move them on will see them in points deduction territory
In the meantime teams like Liverpool & Man City will move further ahead

[Ladysmith]

A lot of Man U fans & pundits seem to think that they will be back in the Fergie era soon enough
They have a lot of debt with more to come via the stadium works
Their squad has a group who are overpaid & going nowhere
They have losses & aren’t first in the queue for top players any more
Its getting worse before there is any chance of it getting better

I think the only way for Man U to move forward is to dump 8 or 9 of their "star" players into the stiffs and bed in a few of their U21'a/youth over the remaining games.

Then begin negotiations to buy out the contracts of those so-called stars and ship them off the payroll.

Will be very expensive, but if the players involved accept that they will never play for Man U again, they will probably accept whatever deal is in front of them.

As for us, I think we just need to spend the rest of the season blooding youngsters.

It is going to take them years!

[happygilmore]

Disappointing looking at Ipswich line up. Feels like they are conceding the chance for a place in the last 8.

I doubt cup games are going to negativily impact the small chance of staying up
