EPL 18/19

Great finish now I've actually seen it. Spurs really lucky Aguero was a step offside from a deflection and not really sure why Llorente's goal was allowed - if you go for the ball and first contact is with the elbow then surely it is handball? Anyway quite a game - any game that is 3-2 after 20 minutes ..... Ajax v Spurs is not only an unlikely semi but could be similarly full on given how both teams play.
The TMO has taken some of the joy out of cricket when a wicket isn't always a wicket. VAR will have an even worse effect on football given the rarity of a goal and the joy or despair of it happening. I'd abolish it for that reason alone. Accept the mistakes and the ref's word is final.

As a neutral VAR added massively to the excitement for me. As a supporter (in other games) its really frustrating because the explanation is normally terrible.

You can't rely on Tottenham for fucking anything

Sounds like it was a tight away game and Citeh still butt hurt about midweek

Tight, but both teams really wasteful in front of goal and sloppy in general play. Perhaps to be expected given the emotion of Wednesday's match, but Spurs had some great chances that they really should have taken - fatigued or not.
I feel a little more positive about Yanited's prospects of nicking points midweek on the basis of Citeh's performance yesterday. However, key will be to prevent Citeh getting their routine early goal. (On a related point, it baffles me that teams have not identified that preventing Citeh's fast starts might be a key aspect of beating or drawing with them.)

Liverpool keep doing their part.
Everton smack Man U who are having a shit month

@mariner4life Sometimes that's as good as it gets. Both Arse and Chelsea had infinitely more winnable games than us. Our squad is paper thin at the moment and we need all the help we can get
-
Good for nothing Man U pricks
-
Pressure obviously getting to Liverpool...
-
@mariner4life you poor fucker gonna go through the season with only one defeat - get close to 100 points and still only get 2nd. It's barmy
Still at least yr not Fulham

Fulham's form since relegation has been excellent - much better than positions 3-6 ....

@dogmeat Man City and Liverpool heading for the second and third highest points hauls of all time - after Man City last year.
My friend who is a staunch Liverpool supporter reckons Jamie Vardy is going to save the day!
Rodgers to finally win the title for Liverpool?
Look, we're destined for 2nd. Even if someone trips City, we'll fuck it up, draw, and lose on goal difference.
@dogmeat I've been thinking of you watching Fulham start to come good after it became too late. That's so shit.

@mariner4life Yeah - I'm not optimistic about Liverpool's chances - though a City choke is always possible.
Wolves in the last round is a stumbling block.
