Saturday was one of the worst days of football in a long, long time. None of the big boys were playing, only four goals were scored and MOTD’s ratings must surely have been at an all time low. Still, what happened on Sunday and Monday more than made up for it, at least from a Liverpool point of view anyway.
I’ll get the snooze fest out of the way first. Hull were held to a goalless draw at Southampton, despite the first half efforts of Herman Munster in the Southampton goal to gift them the points. What a big dopey gormless bastard he is.
Niasse was playing, so obviously that disgraceful red card he was given last week must have been rescinded. Nothing happened to the bum that gave it to him though, and Hull are not having much luck with refs at all this season. They’ve had 12 pens given against them, the latest coming from Mike Dean in this game, when the velociraptor faced official pointed to the spot after an innocuous tangle between N’Diaye and Yoshida.
Justice was served when Jakupevic saved from Tadic, and all in all it was a good point for Marco Silva’s men, who are now in a straight up dog fight with Swansea to see who stays up.
Sunderland on the other hand have been down for months, but it was finally made official this weekend when in the space of seconds they conceded a last minute goal at home to Bournemouth as Hull’s keeper was making that penalty save at St Mary's.
Josh King went close to an early breakthrough with a quality little shot that hit bar and then post before bouncing out. He also had one cleared off the line but his persistence was eventually rewarded when collected a pass from that little chubby Scottish jabroni and tapped in for his 12th goal of 2017. The more I watch him, the more I think he’s the player that Origi should be but sadly isn’t.
There were loads of Sunderland fans crying in the stands afterwards. Fucking get a grip, you’ve known this was coming for months, it’s not like it was some unexpected last week of the season heartbreaker. And if you really must cry, go underneath the stands and do it and don’t be giving Newcastle fans ammo to throw at your fellow supporters who aren’t blubbering like babies. Does my fucking head in that does.
Maybe Sunderland needed this though. There’s just a losing mentality throughout that club and they need a massive clearcut. John O’Shea was apologising afterwards and said “we’ve been unable to produce for the goods for them this season like we have in the previous ten when we’ve stayed up”. Fuck me, he calls what they’ve been doing the last few years “producing the goods”.
This is what you get when you hire a fucking loser like Moyes. His loserness just pollutes the air around the training ground and stadium, and before you know it, it’s like the Walking Dead and virtually everyone is infected by it.
I’d like to think that’s him finished in football now, but it’s such a fucked up industry that he’ll end up finding some other sucker to pay him millions to suck the life out of another club. Honestly, as damning as this is, Sunderland would have had more chance of staying up if they’d hired Hodgson last summer.
Moving on, and Burnley finally got an away win as they pulled a smash and grab on Palace. Ashley Barnes gave them an early lead but then thought he’d added a scruffy second and was in the middle of a piss poor celebration when Bobby Madley belatedly disallowed the goal for handball. The linesman didn’t give anything and Madley seemed like he was going to let it go too initially, but he probably saw that “row the boat” celebration and thought “nah I’m not having that”.
I was heavily critical of Madley last week, but he redeemed himself on that one so I now propose he’s put in charge of all Spurs games from now on to put a stop to those naff handshake shenanigans. He actually had a good game this week, despite Fat Sam predictably complaining about a penalty he didn’t get when Zaha went down under a challenge from Flanno. It would have been easy to give that, but replays proved him right.
That was the turning point of the game as Gray broke away to make it safe. Palace are six points head of Swansea so those wins over us, Arsenal and Chelsea have probably saved them, which is a shame as I'd much rather they went than either Hull or the Swans.
Meanwhile, Mark Clattenberg took charge of his final game in England as Leicester won at West Brom. Vardy got the only game of the game after latching onto a through ball from Japanese Dirk. He gave it the big un celebrating in front of the West Brom fans, who didn’t seem to react to him at all. Perhaps they were asleep and if so who could blame them?
That’s five games in a row without a goal for the Baggies, and Rondon has actually gone 19 games since his last goal now, which is staggering for a player of his ability. The Pulis Effect in all its glory there.
Stoke and West Ham ended goalless as Berahino once again drew a blank. Looks like he’s had all of his talent Pulis’d out him too. “Useless” has his work cut out getting him back on track.
The Hammers had some bum up front who I’d never seen before. He put one good chance into orbit and then wasted another by trying a fucking rabona. Modern footballers *shakes head*
Where’s Andy Carroll anyway? Injured again? Hopefully he doesn’t make his triumphant return when we come to town and pull a Benteke on us.
Gareth Southgate was in the stands for this one. Whenever the camera goes on him my first thought is always “why the fuck are they showing that peanut headed loser”. Then I remember he’s England manager and just start sniggering.
Onto Sunday now, and what a day that was for us, as both Manc teams unexpectedly dropped points against relegation strugglers, and Arsenal not so unexpectedly lost at Spurs.
Arsenal Fan TV have been in the headlines again after Robbie took money from the fucking S*n, prompting a huge backlash that resulted in him apologising profusely and pledging to never work with them again. There's not really anything he can say to lessen the disappointment of him jumping into bed with those cunts, but he didn’t run from it, he took the video down, accepted the criticism and called it a huge mistake, so I'll give him that at least.
The thing is, he’s entitled to work with whoever he wants and the S*n boycott isn’t his fight unless he chooses to make it so, but that’s kind of where the issue is here as it was only a few weeks ago a couple of their crew were wearing the stickers and talking about how they support the campaign, so to then do this just makes them look like twats, especially as Robbie himself does a show with (and is good friends with) Paul from Redmen TV. It was on that show when he addressed it and apologised.
Ultimately, when you’ve done something that you know is wrong and that you have no excuse for, there’s not really much you can do other than apologise and hope people accept it. Agreeing to work with that rag was disappointing but some good might come out of it as more people will now be aware of why they shouldn’t buy that fucking thing.
Not gonna lie though, it has made me think twice about whether I’ll be watching any more of their videos. I might just have to restrict myself to “Club Shop Ty” and Troopz, and ignore the rest. I can’t go completely cold turkey.
A bad weekend for Robbie got worse when they lost to Spurs, meaning St Tottering’s Day or whatever the fuck it’s called had to be cancelled, and then he needed security to get him away from White Hart Lane as he had to run the gauntlet from Spurs fans.
Most of it was fair game and AFTV bring a lot of this kind of attention on themselves (although I’m still seething about the Chelsea cunts who stole my little man Ty’s hat), but the vile racist shit thrown at him was truly shameful. What the fuck is that all about? How is this shit still happening? It only sounded like a couple of scumbags but it's still shocking any time you hear that stuff.
As for the game itself, it was nowhere near as close as the 2-0 scoreline suggests as Spurs absolutely murdered Arsenal. Their home record this season is ridiculous; 16 wins and two draws. Can’t wait to see them turn into West Ham next season though when they’re playing at Wembley.
Finally on this, Wenger is still gloriously trolling the Arsenal fans. It was pointed out to him this week that he’d promised an announcement on his future in March or April. His reply? “Yes, and now it’s May. That means I was wrong”. I love how he’s dragging this out, fair play.
Also on Sunday, Chelsea just keep motoring on and made what looked like a potentially tricky away day at Goodison look fairly routine in the end. Pedro’s stunning opener set them on their way and Cahill and Willian heaped further misery on the Blues. Amazing how Pedro has started to show what he can do now that he has a manager who allows him to concentrate on what he’s good at and lets him express himself. He was fucking shite under Mourinho but now he’s like Diet Hazard.
This was Chelsea’s first clean sheet since January and Lukaku once again came up short against one of the big boys. He’s even more Zlatan than Zlatan these days. The ultimate flat track bully, but that’s not a criticism as I really, REALLY wish we could find someone who strikes the fear of God into everyone in the bottom half. Just imagine where we’d be if we had someone with 22 goals against sides outside of the top eight.
The most pleasantly surprising result of the weekend was City not beating Boro. The United result was more satisfying, but they can’t win at home so it’s not like it was a huge upset. City not beating a wretched Boro team though was definitely a shock.
Not least because they allowed Boro to score twice. That almost never happens.
Negredo fired in against his old club to give Boro the lead but a blatant bit of cheating from Sane won City a penalty that Aguero buried to equalise. The Boro players were furious and got right in the ref’s face. Now I despise Kevin Friend, he’s either shit or biased or both, and I hate his fucking face. He got that decision wrong but again, but it’s not easy when players have become so adept at cheating.
Chambers then restored Boro’s lead but Gabriel Jesus headed City level again. The other Jesus, Navas, has gone 100 games without a goal though. I’ve been telling you all for years how shit he is, but it’s nice to see it’s finally being widely acknowledged by the general football world.
Finally, ‘the Invincibles” drew at home yet again, despite being handed the lead from the spot following a terrible dive by Rashford. The ref does deserve some criticism on this one because he positioned himself behind three players and couldn't see shit, but again, even if he had a clear view he may still have been conned.
Of course, because Rashford is English and some dirty cheating foreign type, the usual comments about "entitled to go down" and "anticipated contact" were being thrown about. Funny how no-one was saying that about Sane.
Thankfully the cheats didn't prosper as Sigurdsson (who else) grabbed a deserved equaliser ten minutes from time with a lovely free-kick. The best part of that was seeing that little rat Herrera drop back onto the line, then think better of it and run back into the wall before having to watch as the ball nestled right into the spot he’d just vacated.
Swansea should have won it deep into stoppage time when Llorente failed to get anything on the ball a few yards when any sort of contact would have resulted in a goal. If it had been against us you know he’d have fucking buried that, the gobshite.
Mourinho was whining afterwards about fixture congestion, injuries and how his squad isn’t big enough to deal with it. Unbelievable. It’s the most expensively assembled squad in history and this is the same cunt who in January allowed Schneiderlin, Sweinsteiger and Depay to leave. What a fucking helmet, this is exactly why I’ve hardly watched them all season. I only watched the highlights of this because they didn’t win and I thought it would be funny, but I wish I hadn’t now.
I’d compare this fucker to road rage. By that, I mean the only thing that gets my blood boiling like this arsewipe is when some knob beeps at me when I’m driving.
The other day I was making my way out of a car park in Southport, and I see this dickhead driving way too fast down the aisle, but I’d already started pulling out so figured he’d just slow down and let me out. Instead the cunt actually sped up, almost clipped the back of my car and beeped like fuck on his way past.
It’s weird, I’m a really mild mannered fella and I haven’t had a fight with anyone since I was about 13, but beep at me when I’m not the one in the wrong and the red mist descends, and I swear I was ready to kill this fat bald headed cunt. The only reason he’s still breathing today is because my wife and daughter were in the car so all I could do was grind my teeth for the entirety of the 20 minute drive home while gripping the steering wheel until my knuckles turned white. Much like how I am any time I sit through one of Mourinho’s interviews.
He also continued his public berating of Luke Shaw by basically intimating that he cried off when he had to be replaced ten minutes into the game. As it turns out, he’ll miss the rest of the season after damaging ligaments.
I’m no lawyer but this looks to be the clearest cut case of bullying in the workplace since… well since Mourinho’s harassment of the poor doctor at Chelsea last year.
Football isn’t an industry where a player would file a grievance over something like that, players are just expected to accept whatever a manager says to them privately or about them publicly, but when it’s happening as regularly as this, it goes beyond what a player should be subjected to.
It won’t happen because it’s not the culture within football, but Shaw would have every right to look for legal advice as the treatment he’s been subjected to is fucking appalling. It would be bad enough if he were a seasoned pro, but he’s a 21 year old kid who reportedly had some really low points during his injury lay off.
We've seen this week with Aaron Lennon that footballers are just as prone to stress and mental breakdowns as anybody else, so someone needs to tell that little Portuguese shitbird to shut his big fucking mouth and stop abusing his position. Absolute cunt.
