***Official*** English Football Season 2018-19

I mean it wasn't a terrible miss. His shot was blocked by a player who had encroached multiple yards before the pen was taken. I know players do it every single pen so I'm not really complaining, but that is the reality of what happened.

Ah ok I might have only seen it from an angle that made it look worse than it was.

Letting in goals to ****ing pro evo master league players now.

 

[Furball]

so is Vertonghen allowed to be a million miles in the box when contact is made with the ball during the penalty or what

Nope.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Unreal quality of strikes in that game

 

[wpdavid]

Massive week for Man City, with two 1-0 wins without playing especially well. I just think that Liverpool with leak a few points in those situations and City will win the league by 5+ points.

The father got 12/1 for the following things to all happen: Barcelona to win; Barcelona to have the most corners; Real Madrid to have the most cards. Good value imo.

I had a 12 team accy for 1092/1 that goddam Grimsby cost me today.

cash out?

 

[cpr]

Wasn't really paying attention to it to do so, Grimsby went down pretty early, and Utd were another team and didn't get in front until late, so I guess the offers would've been low anyway.

Free money after nailing all the Wednesday results right (22/1, wish I'd backed myself more than a quid now!)

Prior to kick off a few of us were discussing why Grimsby were the long odds on the bet, as we all had them as nailed on home wins..... Bookies know best.

If only Pep Guardiola had Rene Higuita in his teams. The result would be hilarious.

 

[sledger]

Tedious game, this.

Feels like Merseyside derbies almost always are. I want to blame Everton for that but there's probably more to it.

I’d say it’s tense. Best thing about this time of season, the context makes bad games exciting.

 

[sledger]

So that's three out of Liverpool's last four games that have ended 0-0.

My "they'll inevitably run out of steam" prediction is coming in pretty well at the moment.

 

[Uppercut]

Noticeable how badly they ended the game, Everton were more threatening for the last 20 minutes. Suggests fatigue. Shaqiri and Keita not getting on was strange too.

 

[sledger]

Liverpool's run in a bit kinder than City's though. Plus the fact that Liverpool don't have the FA cup or Champions League to worry about as well...

Yeah indeed. They didn't look totally gassed I didn't think, but there was nothing about them in that time that suggested they were likely to create much/grab the winner.

 

[Niall]

Only 1 point in it so all to play for, but ignore Liverpool fans trying to spin the last week, only taking 2 points against this Utd side with those injuries and an average Everton team is dismal.

Heh.

Their run-ins are more similar than I thought. Only real difference is that City go to Old Trafford. You'd definitely rather be in their position.

 

[sledger]

Heh.

Haha, indeed.
