'Even allowing for inflation, this thread is not worth 198 Terry Francises' - EPL 2017-18

Ref obv seeking to even things up, that's never a red but the koscielny one is clearly red

Oh wait he's just missed a clear penalty the other end he's just a clown

Is it true that this game is completely ridiculous and amazing?

Yes. It was insane.

Ref in our game also a clown both ends

Ref won't be happy til one of our add is killed.

The red we got had better be a fuckin machete

Hmmm no complaints!

would love an inter-ilx game reffed by deems

Have to fancy inter there

Was gonna say

Palace looking v decent all a sudden justice4woy

If this doesn't finish with City in double figures I'll consider my afternoon wasted.

i'm hoping for david moyes to pass at last into the netherworld at full-time, his spirit rising into the night sky like an extended sigh, dawn breaking over the ground as if a great evil has been lifted.

that and some goals.

really need city to lose but otoh moyes making that sad doggy face is straight up one hundred years of lolitude so i dunno

xp I think Moyes was put on earth for a reason, a short term ascension or redemption is not on the cards.

Oh I'll just go ahead and say it. I believe David Moyes is the second coming of the lord Jesus Christ.

What if god was one of us
Just a stranger parking the Hammers bus

"not all of us are going to heaven. that can't happen. it won't. the truth is there'll be plenty of people in hell and we need to face up to that."

I have scryed the futures that may be and the futures that shall be thru a wyrd glass using such arts as are known to me, hard won in the dark tumultuous days of the nether divisions. No vision has been shewn me that sayeth Andy Carroll may pass through limbo and obviously he's disappointed but he's a good professional and he knows what he can do to get back into St Peter's thoughts, Trevor

for a side that splashed away £130m on defensive players in one window, they still can't defend set-pieces for shit.

It's not about the destination (Moyes knows he'll end up on the cross by Easter), it's about the journey.

more appropriate that this was a slow icing-over of hope than a rout imo

never a red ffs

given that he's already self-banned Clattenburg should be banned from ever refeering aain anywhere.

i find the whole interview bizarre. what a fucking idiot.

It's so fucking stupid, his "game plan" and all.

why would you come out and destroy whatever reputation you have by saying that?

He had none cunt was a big club lackey his whole career and a total cunt

I have a soft spot for Clattenburg for controversially ruling out a Mansfield goal at the 04 playoff finals. But I don't know what he is hoping to achieve here, unless he has already made so much dosh he never needs to ref again and couldn't gaf about his reputation.

i think i most remember him for one particularly rough merseyside derby - can't remember the final score but i know he gave us a penalty and ignored jamie carragher rugby tackling someone in the box in the 93rd minute.

feel like dirk kuyt either got away with murder or was murdered

oh yeah here it is. lol two red cards and two penalties.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/2323916/Mark-Clattenburg-pays-for-Mersey-mayhem.html

He allowed Everton to self-destruct. All part of a greater plan do u c

I c him next tuesday

A maddeningly arrogant manner of delivering his controversial decisions as well

More like mark clottenburg

How Yorkshire has launched its own international team

I suspect Ronan's already queuing up for tockets lol

lol

if yorkshire actually got independence its entire reason to live would vanish

leeds fans are getting bored eh

no way you can watch Leeds for years and not have a huge tolerance for boredom

Old choleric finger jabbing Freemasons, posh Tory voters (same thing really) and Leeds supporting scum are all bad elements of Yorkshire, and are I imagine the main driving forces behind this shite.

kudos if you can last the whole 3 mins

about 30 seconds, lad didn't even sing it with any conviction

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho does not think he would be allowed to make a political statement on the touchline like Manchester City counterpart Pep Guardiola.

Fuck Mou. Even despite their "rivalry" (it sells tabloids lol), this is some next level pissy snitching to the teacher about a class mate.

I'd welcome a political free-for-all (within the law) when it comes to being allowed political statements on the pitch. Football is political. Everything is political. This close yr eyes and it doesn't exist thing is bollocks. Let Guardiola be pro Catalonia and show it. Let Moysey be the sad eyed poster boy for the Centrist Party. All the world's a stage, and football is not excluded.

Poch otm re transfers

Ya Poch otm.

I find it admirable you Spurs fans on here can keep your calm. You're like Icarus approaching the sun. Just not there yet, not laying down the dough like the biggest clubs, yet obv too good a structure and players etc to finish ninth. You can be a true title contender, but the only thing separating you from it is probably spending wildly. Which you don't, and I admire that. But meanwhile you're playing for 2nd or 3rd or 4th every season. It'd frustrate the hell out of me. In limbo.

ehhhhhh LBI i don't really see that there is any moral high ground to cling to whatsoever in the Premier League these days (if there ever was) and at Man City least of all. Mourinho is a troll (and still occasionally quite funny, too) but gtfo acting like Guardiola is some political idealist here vs Mourinho as the devil incarnate. who the fuck does Guardiola work for and how much are they paying him

Spurs can't challenge for titles

And I think there's a break between the money a club has to spend and where it was earned.

I cant defend that but I believe it- or at least maybe I recognise LBI pov that football managers are responsible for their comportment but not the manner in which the cash that pays their wages at the top level of the game they love has been generated.

Anyway

A Spurs fan that can't enjoy these years would be some fuckdog wretch. The league, tbh any trophy, be grand like but everything else is so ahead of expectations that focusing on what we haven't got would be an exercise in forced misery.

who the fuck does Guardiola work for and how much are they paying him

That's, uh, not what it's about though. Nonetheless, Mourinho is famously far right isn't he?
