Saturday football

[Coffee]

"FULHAM vs MANCHESTER UNITED (1230) Three wins, three defeats in their last six – what’s going on with Man U? Fulham are in their customary zone and appear as inconsistent as their visitors. Ten Hag’s woes will intensify if they don’t get at the very least a point from this. Away win. BRENTFORD vs WEST HAM UNITED (1500) Although a place below us in the table, Brentford surely start as favourites. They’ve ended a wobbly few weeks with two straight victories and look to have regained the winning ways that have so successfully defied expectations in the last two seasons. Which, as you may remember, includes four straight victories over us. The Carabao win over Arsenal, meanwhile, should have given us a welcome shot in the arm and help to improve our recent miserable record of four points from the last six games. Like us, Brentford are good at soaking up pressure and waiting for opportunities to break and score. It’s hard to think of that as a recipe for an entertaining game, but with Kudus and Antonio up front (until the 67th minute when Soucek replaces Antonio), who knows? Draw. BURNLEY vs CRYSTAL PALACE (1500) The day’s most boring game, on paper anyway. Draw. EVERTON vs BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION (1500) The Seagulls are experiencing a blip with no wins in their last four games while the Toffees have alternated victory and defeat in their last six. If those records continue, both sides will lose. Away win. MANCHESTER CITY vs BOURNEMOUTH (1500) City go cherry picking and return to the top for a couple of hours, goal difference suitably boosted. Home win. SHEFFIELD UNITED vs WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS (1500) The Blades still have just one point to show for their efforts in the first 10 games back in the big time. Wolves have 12, level with Chelsea, and are showing great endeavour under the impressive Gary O’Neil. Expect a lot of huff and puff at Bramall Lane. Away win. NEWCASTLE UNITED vs ARSENAL (1730) The other game of the day pits sixth against second. Both sides have won four and lost two of their last six and with home advantage, the Magpies may start as slight favourites. A good game in the offing, you’d think. Draw. *SUNDAY* NOTTINGHAM FOREST vs ASTON VILLA (1400) Forest’s home form has been their salvation of late, but Villa are in a rich vein of form and won’t be done for by relegation fodder. Away win. LUTON TOWN vs LIVERPOOL (1630) The Reds return to the top four. Away win. *MONDAY* TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs CHELSEA (2000) Spurs started the weekend top of the table, while big-spending Chelsea found themselves in the bottom half. It will be a huge surprise if that status is unchanged at the end of this game. An unhappy return to the Spud Stadium for Poch. Home win. *CHAMPIONSHIP* Let’s start with Millwall, down from the verge of the play-off places to 17th. Yuk. Today they host Southampton, now 14 places above Wall and firmly in the play-off places yet just seven points above their hosts. That’s a measure of this division. On Friday, runaway leaders Leicester surrendered their winning run with a surprise home defeat to Leeds. A great chance for second-placed Ipswich to eliminate their five-point deficit with a winning game in hand and take over the division’s leadership. Today the Tractor Boys visit Wayne Rooney’s Birmingham who have also tumbled down the rankings since he took over. Sheffield Wed, QPR and Rotherham still make up the bottom three, with an unhealthy gap of five points having emerged either side of the dotted line. It’s all to play for in the fizzy pop."

"Can‚Äôt stand Romero. Does red card tackles every game. Complains like he did nothing wrong. It shouldn‚Äôt make a difference, but that was against one of his fellow Argentinian international colleagues. What a cսnt."

[Bonds78]

"That Romero is a fucking loose cannon, absolute liability."

[twoleftfeet]

What the fuck is that cսnt Son moaning about? The bloke should have been sent off 5 minutes previously. Fucking hate Spurs.

[Fauxstralian]

Son in refs face Yellow as per the 3 Newcastle ones SURELY

[Fauxstralian]

Straight red surely His second in 30 mins!

[lowlife]

This game is mental. Romero should really be off for another ridiculously high and aggressive tackle.

[Fauxstralian]

I'd have given 2 reds Doggieshit off his feet with a 2 footer studs up. Only Sterling's quick movement saved him from having his leg snapped in two Romero just kicked the player for no reason ... obvious red Romero should concede a pen and a second yellow

[Browno22]

Proof of corruption if you ever needed it. The game is completely done

[lowlife]

"I have no idea what warrants a red card nowadays. Guimares was a clear red at the weekend, no intervention from VAR."

[twoleftfeet]

Spurs should be down to 9. If that’s Zouma and Coufal they get reds.

[Bonds78]

"Lively game so far, lots of niggle as well."

[lowlife]

That‚Äôll be chalked off. Hope Romero gets a red - an absolute cսnt of a player. Need to send him off or they‚Äôll lose control of this game quickly.

[lowlife]

1-1 now. Moyesball might have been safer for a few more minutes.

1-1 now. Moyesball might have been safer for a few more minutes.

[lowlife]

That should have been a red imo. Ridiculous both feet off the floor studs up challenge square on to Sterling.

[Browno22]

Two footed tackles are no longer red cards!

[Tomshardware]

"Hope Moyes is watching the Spurs game, forward passing and players running off ball."

[lowlife]

Udogie does look like a red card waiting to happen. He was like this against England.

[LeroysBoots]

Isn't it fucking depressing watching these cunts play a high tempo attacking brand of football whilst we are play a low block!?! God I do hope Moyes fucks off soon

[lowlife]

"I must say, Spurs are looking very good. Would love us to set up like this - we’ve had the investment to do it too. Playing on the front foot, players in natural positions, quick passing, lots of movement and pressing Chelsea when they don’t have the ball."

[lowlife]

Spurs one up already and going full out for a second.

[Manuel]

"Christ, look at all the hate. Get a life."

[ray winstone]

"Thought Carragher was going to jizz in his pants when Diaz scored, why the fuck Sky let ex players commentate on their old clubs is beyond me, so fucking biased."

[Sydney_Iron]

Oh FFS Scouse cunts ?üòü

[lowlife]

Jammy fuckers.
