Today's Football 2018-19 Season

Need to be careful here City. Can be a funny old game against 10 men.

Sounds similar to Dyche and his Burnley side but he even surpassed that and gave them a 7th place finish. Would you take Sean Dyche to Everton?

No, because Dyche took over a side that had relatively recently got to the PL under Owen Coyle, only just missed the playoffs the season before and then bought intelligently. Wagner took over a team that were going down, kept them in that league and then took them up spending about £4 million to do so.

They do look vulnerable at the back.

there will now follow about 100000 kopites bemoaning a player buying a penalty with a theatrical dive

As we speak they score the penalty, thankfully

I breathe a sigh of relief for another week.


... the Liverpool collapse really can't come soon enough for my nerves.

No way was that a penalty. The game has gone mad.

Yes, probably do for this game. But the difference between them and the rs is that if they do have a rare off day going forward they struggle to keep it tight at the back.

Nailed on pen, not quite sure why you'd think otherwise.

 

[blue to the bone]

What he has done with that club is incredible - they were heading to league one when he went there and their squad is largely still composed of Championship standard players.

Eddie howe has done a lot better..

OK maybe it was technically. But I think the game is too soft altogether. Back in the 60s/70s it wouldn't have been given and Sterling wouldn't have been looking for it either.

Media outlets leading the charge for them.

 

[Tubey]

To be honest, if that's a pen, Niasse's 'dive' that he got banned for was as well.

I think they both were.

 

[Blues Harp]

And it's why cheats like slippy. Salad, and alli get away with it week after week...

That commentator’s droning voice would put a fellow to sleep.
