Pressure is all on the bloos now. Form team, best chance to beat us in decades in the league, we’ve had a mare against Villa, first choice goalkeeper will be missing. Watch the back tracking start about Thursday. By Saturday they’ll be nervous wrecks. So will I be until the game is over.

They had 14 shots, 8 on target, 7 went in. We were still atrocious.

6-6 would be a fucking miracle.

Don’t know whether Grealish is a decent player or he’s looking good because we’re so shite. Probably the latter. I reckon they’ve had about 8 shots on goal and scored 6 times.

Villa will start time wasting now. Atkinson will let them.

Don’t know about take a point now, I’d take us just not conceding another goal.

Teams are finding players in space far more easily against us now than in the last two seasons and it’s leading to a goal almost every time. They are running players from deep into the space we leave behind the full backs particularly, which is dragging the centre backs out of position. Their third was a lucky deflection, but they’ve cut through us far too easily and caught our defenders having to defend running back towards our goal instead of defending in front of them. Firmino, Keita, Fabinho, Gomez and, yes, Van Dijk have been poor, I’ll leave Adrian to everyone else to comment on, but again, we aren’t taking the chances we’re making either, so it’s not just the defence or midfield. Write this one off I think, go again against the shite.

Lulling the Blooshite into a false sense of security here.

Grealish taking the piss out of our midfield here, Gomez beaten far to easily as well. Now we’ll find out what we’re made of. Have to take our chances, it seems every other fucking team get a chance and it goes in, even with Alisson after the break last season, but we’re having to have three chances to score one goal.

This ignoring of Salah being fouled by referees has got to ridiculous proportions now. He might well have hit the floor too easily the season before last, but it appears unless he’s actually assaulted with an AK-47, he’s never going to get a penalty. Fucking disgrace.

They keep beating teams they should beat, with the manager and players they have. Fair enough. But there are arguably three teams better than them, possibly five, of which we are definitely one. As long as we show up against them, that’ll be enough for the run to continue.

Goodnight all, sleep well!

That BBC article was, to me, quite eye opening. I’ve been a bit bamboozled with all the facts and figures bandied around, with the restrictions being lifted and then put back in place etc. etc., to the point where I was getting numbed by the thing. The one thing that did strike me from the article though was that, although this type of disease has been seen and handled very differently in the past, to the point where society just carries on and accepts the deaths as a consequence of any pandemic or annual disease (13000 deaths average annually from flu I believe?), this particular coronavirus is unknown and the effect it might have can only be guessed at, even by experts. For that reason alone, we should be very careful about letting it run its course unchecked in the hope it may not prove any worse than flu or similar diseases. It may well be that it might not adversely affect the majority of those who contract it, but as one who is in the higher risk age category (I’m having my flu jab at 9 am this morning) I’d personally not like to find out the hard way that it might.

Original has done fuck all. Reverse logic here.

Don’t do anything stupid, we deserve this.

Have City been given their usual bye yet?

He looks a thug. Just like Otamendi did. Hopefully, as he’s younger, he’ll be as shit but for longer.

Jennings McGrain Flowers Moore Irwin Edwards Blanchflower Baxter Best Charles Johnston Yes, I am an owl are’s.

Too close to call this, but it shouldn’t be even close.

Just fuck off Tyler.

Trent playing Lacazette on there, fuck me. Brilliant from Alisson.

Need another against these jam strangling twats. Don’t need liberties being taken at the back.

Always thought Zola was class. Kenny Burns was the type of twat you hated, but would’ve loved to have in your team. Drogba was immense, remember seeing him play against us before he signed for Chelsea and he gave Hyypia and Carragher the run around, I thought we should have put a bid in for him, but the money wasn’t there anyway. Casillas maybe.

Neville: “No handball there” Tyler: “Are you sure?” One fucking weapon that cunt is.

That’s far too reasoned and credible a post for this thread. Well said.
