    Some good players but such inconsistency.

    They should have put more money into the defence in the summer, though. Iwobi wasn't essential - they had attackers already. Leaving Mina and Keane as the CBs was a risk. That money would have been better spent on Tarkowski or something I'd say.

    Yeah. And if they turn this around, they could be 4th or 5th. Very fine lines between 3rd place and relegation places at the moment.

    Mina was a bit unlucky in fairness.

    Sheffield United 1-0, Mina own goal apparently. I've only got SSN :(

    Mina is brutal CB

    Crowd gone awful quite

    Doesn’t make sense for Everton to spend big money on Iwobi and not play him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,397 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    You’d hope Watford spent half time trying to scare City.

    Not watching it but from Soccer Saturday it sounded like another Pickford clanger

    As YOU well know from last season, City don’t scare.

    Never realized that so many big time Liverpool supporters had suddenly started following Watford too....

    Some of them may need counseling, like it feckin 30 years ago now. Time to move on.

    Tell me, have you been a city fan long?




  • 10-0 is on haha


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,857 ✭✭✭✭Loafing Oaf


    I'm sure United's nine-goal record win is somewhere in City's minds...

    The same length of time as some have been supporting Watford.
    I was a Norwich fan last week.

    Strange comment. Liverpool fans are interested in City's game vs Watford for obvious reasons. Why are so many Utd fans interested in this game?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 287 ✭✭realrebel


    They just hit the post they will get 10

    I always found the United fans very fair minded, knowledgeable and reserved.
    I think they watch a lot of football.

    Sheff Utd 2 up now.

    Because thats the one thats on tv?

    I watched Spurs-Leicester aswell. I think the next one is Newcastle against Norwich or I might watch the Singapore F1 Qualy instead or maybe just head into town not fully decided yet. Is that ok with you?

    They have been dogged in defence, Well setup too. Deserved IMO

    Everton looked like they will never score

    Totally. I was asking brinty why because he seemed at odds with the fact that Liverpool fans were watching this game.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 52,404 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    8 nil. Good job Sterling wasn’t on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 40,061 ✭✭✭✭Harry Palmr


    This Game is going to end just in time to deny City the pl record.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,205 ✭✭✭fyfe79


    DeBruyne with the bonus point.

    United keeping our record!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 60,912 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    14 nil to City over there last two games against Watford.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 43,028 ✭✭✭✭SEPT 23 1989


    Encouraging response from city after the Norwich defeat


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,629 ✭✭✭magma69


    All the Watford fans that attended should be refunded with the wages of the Watford players.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,288 ✭✭✭✭rob316

    Quite the understatement that is

    I felt they coped with missing a few centre halves well.

    It could and should have been at least 14-0 today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Wonder what the reaction would be if PSG, Juve or Bayern smashed a mid-table outfit 8-0, months after doing the same opposition over 6-0 in a cup final.

    I can take a pretty good guess at what terms would be thrown around.

    Big Andy to come on as an 89th minute sub score the winner in the 92nd minute and do his hamstring celebrating in the 93rd minute.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,508 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Crinklewood


    Mmm

    Am I being blind or do the jerseys in Newcastle - Brighton game clash?

    Probably me!!

    Brighton's clashes with the pitch.

    Never thought I'd see the day when Brighton have over 75 %possession a third of the way in to a match

    No easy games.

    Yes and they should be two up, far and away the better and more adventurous side. Only criticism would be they missed two enough easy chances / sitters.

    Newcastle not impressive so far, particularly going forward.
