Don’t know if this would float people’s boat but I saw a programme interviewing Lemn Sissay about his life last year, and so first learnt of his Christmas dinner project, aimed to ensure no care leaver aged 16-25 is alone on Xmas day. I think it’s a great project and their Liverpool version would be a worthy recipient. https://www.lcvs.org.uk/liverpool-care-leavers-christmas-dinner-needs-your-help/

It’s a penalty if you want it to be. Which is basically what VAR does. If you look hard enough, zoom in enough, play it slow enough, and want to find a foul, you’ll find one more often than not. if VAR didn’t exist that wouldn’t be a pen and nobody would be talking about it being missed.

Yep.

which is great news. He’s not the worst manager in the world, but he’s not the answer to them getting back on top and who knows - the next one could be, so keep him as long as possible

if all your written was the last sentence I’d rep this post but the rest… chelsea are no barometer. They’re absolutely awful when they’re not at it, so while United might’ve been (and sounds like they were) good, I’m still tempering it. calling them only a slabhead intervention away from a draw with Newcastle though? They got absolutely battered for the full 90 didn’t they? From everything I saw they did. They might beat Bournemouth and they aren’t total bums, and they definitely can’t be taken for granted next weekend, but man… they’re still shit.

Ten years ago today, Moyes put his finger on the problem. They should’ve stuck with him and they’d be sound now.

And clearly they must’ve made hard work of it, if it’s their centre back that was most important to that run.

‘Twas possibly me. Did it say your name instead of mine?

That might be the best thing you’ve ever posted.

I said that watching. The big save was followed pretty quickly by a strong catch of a long throw, which was good to get under his belt early too.

Spin only works the opposite way. It bounces out from behind the line, but not in from outside the line. A spherical ball hitting a cylindrical goal frame can’t spin the opposite way.

Ha, two hours after the initial reply, but 3 minutes after getting called a knobhead comes the “revenge neg”… what a “snowflake”. knobhead.

Sound. Knobhead.

Did they do a var check for the winner, or were people in the ground allowed to enjoy a big football moment unabated?

Let’s not take the piss out of a bloke for having a job. There’s plenty else to take the piss out of him for.

That’s getting repped

Ah, wrestling, that’ll explain it bypassing me.

What was Johns joke early in this one? Both Chris and Dave laughed but I didn’t even slightly get it.

Everything you need to know that what you see with your eyes means more than what the stats say! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67587754 Those numbers come from Opta calculations, with actual goals conceded being subtracted from the expected goals on target (xGOT) conceded figures, which reflect quality of chances for the opponent and shot execution. Defending his keeper, Ten Hag said: "If you analyse it well then you see he is the second-best goalkeeper in the Premier League based on stats, so his expected defending goals is the second best in the Premier League."

we shared 1 between 2 and we both thought it was good to have, but enjoyed our time without it as well.

You should be able to work out what’s possible. shame my missus took the radio header back to hers or I’d have worked out a way to meet up and give it to you. £12 for 3 hours worth of use before it’ll end up in a bin is the only thing I didn’t like about the evening. enjoy.

I was chatting to a United fan in work earlier this week. He’s a lovely lad but he often talks shit about football but not in a knobhead way. anyway, he was saying with tongue in cheek that they were apparently the most in form team in the league and over the past however many games Onana was the keeper with the most clean sheets. I took him at his word but just said “you’re not though”. This is where you need to believe your eyes and throw stats in the bin. anytime I’ve seen them they’ve looked shit. Even when they’ve won. That’s their current form. Looking shit.

Sounds hard to take.

Pointless dweeb.
