Blues getting relegated by Tory frank. That is poetic that.

Rafa must be laughing his socks off, dirty, diving bastards.

They’re all blaming Rafa. Apparently Frank is a genius manager on the marking who will rejuvenate them and lead them to world domination.

They record the interview sooner, but they know he's a massive draw, so they leave it late in the show.

I still don't think any of them will be up for it against the shite. I'd like to think we've broken them and this is the end of them, but I just can't see it.

They’ll be up for it because it’s a chance to send a so called big team down.

[gkmacca]

It's sad that playing like the Blueshite did in the first half still gets praised more than attacked. It's like someone playing 'tag' by repeatedly running indoors and turning the lock. Of course it makes it hard for the opponent but there's nothing 'clever' about it. Years ago the TV companies would get pissed off about it because it lost them viewers, but now Sky have viewers tied to them so they don't care. Teams can play how they like, but this desperation by pundits to excuse them no matter how cynical it gets is just pathetic. If it's a foreign team wasting time with only fifteen minutes gone it still gets criticised, quite rightly, but English teams do it and it's so 'sensible' it doesn't really get a mention. I'm surprised Tyler knew what Alisson was doing at the end, he'd not commented on it before.

The reality is, if they do go down they’ll have a millstone around their neck with the stadium. Revenues are poor, wages are too high and not serviced properly by revenues. How much was or is moshiri bailing them out. Usmanaov was I’d imagine.  It’s a total mess and I hope they go down.

They add nothing to this division, nothing at all. Neither do Burnley come to that.

 

[bossy]

We were largely ineffective today but Jesus, Everton were fucking abysmal, cheating, parking bus, wankers. We deserved the win. Fuck em.

I think there's no shame in it if you're a minnow, but they've spent fucking millions and are about to have money out of my back pocket to pay for a ground they'll never fill. 

[Rushies tash]

Job done from the pundits though. Nobody is talking about the 15% possession, the gamesmanship or complete lack of ambition - the narrative has been set that Everton were robbed. The shameless cunts were at it the whole game. A shot from Iwobi went about 5 yards wide in the first half and immediately Tyler was asking if Allison had touched it. You wonder if they're aware of the points City have gained from controversial decisions this season and are trying to even it out.

17% possession, just behind the ballboys

At least Burnley don't spend zillions on transfers and wages and believe they are entitled to a PL place. They fight to the death for it.

I find it unbelievable how people on here keep saying this despite how truly appalling they obviously are week after week. Maybe you’re trying to tempt fate again, or jinx them. But I’ve been saying for ages they are nowhere near safe and yes I like to say I told you so.

I just turn it off as soon as the whistle goes, I have no interest and even less respect for most of the pundits.

The stadium situation is potentially a killer for them. They won’t get the sponsorship or revenue from corporate boxes that they would on the PL, and they’ll have the loan repayments around their neck for years.

 

I’ll be waiting for the shouts that they’re a special case because of their longevity in the top flight, and the PL should be extended by one club next year to accommodate them.

They left it so late they actually had time to dig out clips from past games Klopp referred to. Which was handy, actually, if other managers watched it. A nice Blueshite weakness for others to exploit.

If viewers really crave the sight of blokes making strange noises while sitting with their legs wide apart there must be gay porn out there for them.

On the soccebus before the game we were stuck in traffic when the police escorted the mob of blue shite fans past us. A better collection of ugly scally scrotes all head to toe in black north face gear you will struggle to see. They started chanting at the bus, ‘always the victim’, doing the wall pusher things etc. Vile. Found myself accidentally walking past the mob by myself a bit later,  fortunately I was wearing a blue coat so they left me alone. 
Made me celebrate that Robbo goal like a madman.

That was the best match I’ve been to this season. I hope they go down and never fucking return.

 

edit- that said, it was all spotty scruff kids. 
the real fans did this …

There's so many bad teams in the league mate, I just think they'll just about stay up, I hope I'm wrong.

 

Those late goals against Newcastle and Leicester are real pissers though, they'd be deep in the mire if they hadn't gone in!

At least Burnley is an easy away game to get to. Plus I got tickets for it this season.

 

Everton just add nothing but bile and hatred. Relegation will completely fuck them and unless they sell most of their squad they are in danger of getting fined and deducted points next season.

They're an amazing PR machine Everton, they've spun the fiction that they're minnows in these matches fighting the good fight, even though they've spent huge amounts of money, much of it suspect at that.

 

Lampard is the same. His record is abysmal already and he's clearly clueless, yet because he's part of the LMA establishment it's spun like he's been dealt a bad hand and he'll be a living legend if he keeps them up.

 

They've always gone into these matches playing anti football and out and out trying to injure players.

 

Lampard is perfect for them, big headed, big mouthed cretin well out of his league. Symbolic.

 

 

Within the first few minutes, Martin Tyler was complimenting Lampard for Everton's improved fitness and making excuses for him because of their injury problems.

 

Tyler the fellow Tory. No fucking doubt. 

 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Not sure if it’s accurate but just read that Allan made two successful passes in the whole game. Both from kick offs.

Tyler isn’t a Tory, he just votes Tory and agrees with their policies.

There is a growing mentality amongst officials and the comms and pundits that shite teams can get away with all this shite and it is somehow understandable, plucky, admirable and even worse is praised and lauded....and even worse still tolerated by the officials.

 

Something that really gives me the nark as well which is happening more and more and is so typical of modern footballers (even in good teams) is that a sensible and reasonable rule gets brought in to look after the safety of players about head injuries and game stopping and you see twats like Richarlison laughably absusing it to time waste.

 

Keeping the possible seriousness of an actual real head injury in mind i'd go as far as to say that feigning a head injury to waste time and gain an advantage should be punishable by a  red card.

 

I am talking about using var to prove it - like when you see a player get caught in chest or neck and they go down clutching head and stay down to get ball put out of play.

 

Really pisses me off.
