Saturday football

[Coffee one sugar]

LEICESTER CITY vs CHELSEA (1230)
The Foxes may be in 15 spot, but they still face a challenge to maintain their place in the top flight. Chelsea, in third, have built on last season’s promise and will hope to add more points in their unlikely hunt for second. Away win.

BOURNEMOUTH vs BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION (1500)
There are six places but just four points between these two. And with home advantage, you’d expect the Cherries to start favourites. But Brighton won’t give in easily. Draw.

ARSENAL vs NOTTINGHAM FOREST (1500)
Incredibly, both these sides are level on points, thanks largely to the hosts’ propensity for generosity.
Arsenal can’t be happy with their early season form and this is exactly the type of fixture that they will look to for maximum points. Forest, though, aren’t the pushover they were a year ago. Home win.

ASTON VILLA vs CRYSTAL PALACE (1500)
Villa are ninth but just a single point from the top three. Palace, meanwhile, are in the bottom three and there’s between little and nowt to suggest they’ll improve things today. Home win.

EVERTON vs BRENTFORD (1500)
The Toffees have scratched their way out of the relegation zone, but still have a job to do to stay out of it. On the other hand, Brentford have messed up royally this season, having lost all their away games. Home win.

FULHAM vs WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS (1500)
If Fulham had held on to their lead over us a few weeks ago, they’d only have Liverpool and Man City above them. But ifs and buts don’t win football games. Just ask Gary O’Neil, whose side sit second from bottom and looking at a relegation battle. Things don’t look too rosy for them. Home win.

MANCHESTER CITY vs TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR (1730)
Clearly the game of the day. City have fouled up of late and Spurs, currently 10th, could end the day in 14th. Should be a good game, but is this the time that the hosts pull their socks up? Yep. Home win.


SUNDAY

SOUTHAMPTON vs LIVERPOOL (1400)
Bottom plays top. What else do you expect? Away win.

IPSWICH TOWN vs MANCHESTER UNITED (1630)
The hype around Man U’s new boss may soon prove to be justified and they’ll be pleased with what the fixture computer has calculated for them today. The Tractor Boys won’t. Away win.


MONDAY

NEWCASTLE UNITED vs WEST HAM UNITED (2000)
A cold, Monday night game in the far northeast. Not what we’d really want. Home win.

That Tyler Dibling is a proper player. Shame we don't have any 18 year olds with his quality (not that we have a structure that would allow us to find out)

[goose]

Fantastic goal by Southampton.

Dibling is a huge talent.

[Mad Ferret]

Oh dear.

Downes costs them a goal.

[Mad Ferret]

Flynn Downes playing central defence for Southampton today.

Good luck.

[Fauxstralian]

I didn’t see the Villa one back but on first look I had no idea what it was given for 
Do you think it will get the same media attention after DeLigt booted Ings?

[goose]

Just watching a bit of MOTD
A couple of terrible deliberate potential leg breaking tackles by Leicester players … no RED
Norgaard stretches to knock in a ball at the far post & accidentally catches Pickford… RED

More abysmal refereeing 

I thought Villa’s penalty was a joke as well. Justice was served when the keeper saved it.

[side effect]

Was he the one who celebrated a goal in the Birmingham end.

Can see a player coming unstuck oneday.

[Massive Attack]

Ndidi is a nasty piece of work that was definitely an ankle breaking cowardly so called tackle.
As to the Brentford player one of the worst decisions yet the ref and the clowns at VAR need retraining let's see if it's recinded 

 Everyone thought it was a red except the ref and VAR. 

Best. System. Ever. 

The genius inventor deserves the Noble Piss Prize for coming up with such a wonderful contribution to Football.  

[Ladysmith]

Yes He should have seen red!

Yes the Ndidi tackle was a fucking disgrace, just an assault with zero interest in the ball, and could have also fucked up one of England's best hopes moving forward. Everyone thought it was a red except the ref and VAR.

[One Sunny Day]

West Ham in a relegation dogfight with Man City?

Well at least we have the advantage of better form, right now.

I had a spell where I did a 5 results acca, got it in twice I think, but there will always be at least one that let's you down. It's a real cսnt too if there is a last minute goal that fucks one pick up, which seems to happen often.

Exactly this.

[happygilmore]

This season's talk was all about Man City achieving the 5 in a row.
Well done Pep

What an absolute dog of a weekend this has turned out to be.

Even if Liverpool run rampant against Southampton later, the most I'll get back from my £26.00 acca will be just over £1.30.

You can now all point at me and laugh - especially as I couldn't find a "£" icon to use.

I think accas are far too difficult so when I use to bet I'd just pick names I like.  Was the only one in our group in pub who did a luck 15 and got all 4 and I now nowt about horses. £320 for £1.50. Oh and the Irish lottery and daily 49s.

Accas and union Jack's are a no for me but I do wish you luck in the future.

There was always this icon available (or the money one).

[Far Cough UKunt]

West Ham in a relegation dogfight with Man City?

[Mex Martillo]

Maybe it's a good time for the Sullivan to make an offer and bring Gaurdiola to the bowl?

[Manuel]

If Liverpool beat City next weekend I wouldn't see City coming back from that.

[Coffee one sugar]

And yet City are still in second place.

I would never watch sp*rs playing live, apart from when they play us. I might watch highlights after they have been beaten. Only a closet fourby would want to see them win and only a cսnt would enjoy it.

You flogged them two tickets yet?
