Other Football - 2019/20

[an tha]

Heard something them about this is their longest ever winning run.

 

Fucking hell, they won a league title and never cobbled together 6 wins in a row...and here we are with all kinds of records being set and as yet no title for them.

[moof]

I don’t think Leicester can keep this pace, but you never know. All the arrogance of a top club with nothing to back it up. Like a Toyota MR2 with a Ferrari body kit

[Strontium]

Our lead might have been cut to 8 points, but I'm still laughing at that. 

[dockers_strike]

Jurgen was fully expecting the result as was I so doesnt change anything. Would have been great if they'd drawn but they just ragged it today.

 

They do have some easy games but are they going to take 3 points off city, not convinced?

Same.

 

Got 606 on and the female presenter has already said twice “Everton first; to their fans, we can hear your hearts breaking from here”.

 

I don’t think she’s trying to troll them but I’m pissing myself.

[Jairzinho]

Leicester aren't going to finish any higher than third. If we finish above Man City we'll win the league.

You just can't fuck up at all in this league it's absolutely ludicrous. I'm over the moon at our results but I'm beginning to worry about our performances. We look tired and with the batshit crazy fixture list coming up I can't see that improving. 

Agreed. The lack of clean sheets is going to be a problem if it carries on. 2 in 14 isn't title winning stuff.

Everton at home was probably their easiest game on paper, they struggled at times today and if Everton could shoot properly they could have easily won themselves. Leicester are good, but I'm pretty sure they'll drop points where they and others least expect it.

Quite like to see this photo but with Jurgen and dockers’ heads CGI’d on.

I don't think anybody should take Leicester lightly. I'm not. 

[Leyton388]

We've lost one game in almost a season and a half. Leicester are not catching us. They won the title when all the top clubs were truly atrocious and won it with 81 points.

He looked a mile off in play when he raised the flag. It went up very early

Yet we are 8 points clear!! If we keep clean sheets from now on all the better, those we haven't don't mean a thing, because apart from the manc game we won them all. 

[Ben Sherman]

Ihenancho missed a sitter against City last season but of course he couldn't miss today.

They're previous win is pretty irrelevant here. Current form, they are doing brilliantly.

Exactly my thoughts...

[niallers]

On reflection, rather than being annoyed at not being 10points clear, I think it's better we have somebody close enough to us to keep us worried, for want of a better word. Last thing we need is to get a bit complacent and drop our levels of effort as it's our effort that's winning us games lately.

Much better to have a team keeping us honest. City and ourselves kept each other motoring last year.

We'll have to batter the bitters now Wednesday given Leicester have Watford and that's a guaranteed 3 points

[dockers_strike]

Looking at those replays he still looks offside to me. But it is what it is.

[Angie81]

Classic Everton face right there.

[Ronnie Whelan]

We are getting the results but Jesus I don't like Leicester being so near. 

 

They do us at their place and it's five points. 

 

Hopefully we get 9 points in our next three games before going to Doha and Leicester, Chelsea and City drop a few points. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Mancs only 6 points above the drop zone and they play a resurgent Spurs next at home then away to City.

We're not going to win the title by a massive margin though. Reading some comments, people are panicking because Leicester won their 'game in hand' on us. That really is all. I dread to think what some are going to be like if we do drop 3 or 4 points. And we'd still be 4 points ahead. It's batshit crazy!

It is a massive pain in the arse that we have to fall a game behind due to this shite in Qatar.

 

Silver lining is Leicester and Man City play each other that week - so at least both can't gain 3 pts on us that week.

[johnsusername]

Christ you wouldn't think we had 40 points at the first of December.

i think alot remember what happened last year when we were about the same amount of points ahead and how fast that turned around
