Plucky Ipswich Town are back on track to pull off a miracle. Possibly.
Someone noted the other night that if Duncan Fergerson says it’s a red card, then it’s definitely a red card.
I remember watching a montage of his challenges (a lot of which could technically be classed as assaults), all of which would have earned you a straight red in the modern game, but were deemed as fair game at the time
Oops. Double post
Everton look tired and disorganised today

I mean, at one point today we were only 6 points from safety, but the team that has lost the most points from a winning position managed to end the day 12 points from safety.
Well that was the most spirit-crushingly dull Manchester derby I’ve ever watched. Nobody looked like they could be particularly arsed with it. Good luck to the MOTD editors trying to find the ‘highlights’ out of that
Another two points dropped by City, surely they can’t miss out on UCL when the top five get in?! But with Haaland out for a while it could happen. Unthinkable at the start of the season, and it might bring this thread’s title to reality.
They had no threat up front at all. What on earth has happened to Foden? As for us, we were totally toothless up front too. I just can’t comprehend why he keeps starting Hojland. He’s absolutely hopeless! He clearly saw Antony being referred to as the worst buy in premier league history and said ‘hold my beer’
Arsenal must be kicking themselves after just giving up on Saturday.
Liverpool look poor and could easily drop more points.
I agree, lack of rotation perhaps affecting them? They look knackered. When Salah isn’t assisting/scoring they look short of ideas. I think they’ll stagger over the line when it should have been a cruise really.
What a performance by Arsenal and Declan Rice! Hope they can finish the job.
When did Declan Rice become David Beckham then? 😳
Watched the first half, decided it would be one of those nights where Arsenal were never going to score and changed channels.
I'm an idiot.
I'm mildly optimistic about Villa's chances tonight. I can't see how PSG can have a clue about our line up or tactics tonight seeing how we've fielded about 24 players in the last few games.
I've got a ticket for the return match next Tuesday so just hoping we've still got that optimism on the long walk to the Holte End.
Enjoyed that last night.
In the first 20 minutes it seemed like RM were going to win comfortably.
The 2nd half and Arsenal absolutely battered them.
That was fun to watch. They made RM look average and although RM had a couple of chances in the 1st half, Arsenal were on top. Got to carrying on attacking on the away trip and don't go on the defensive...
And in the Championship, Leeds have been thrown a bit of a lifeline with the way results went last night. If we'd ended up drawing that game (which was a distinct possibility given how the second half went), it would have been so frustrating, having had two perfectly good goals ruled out for offside. Bamford's lovely strike was a mile onside!
Looks like Rashford has found his cloak of invisibility he left in Manchester. Been totally eclipsed by the Scrabble winning Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Looks like our butter-fingered goalkeeper has been proving the old adage that if you’re going to give it the big I am then it’s probably best if you’ve actually got something to back it up with
An absolute clown! Matic must be laughing his tits off!
Yeah, that was stupid. He’s always got a howler or two in him. But the stats are pretty positive I think in terms of his save percentage/expected saves/whatever - always outdone by a howler though! Though the errors wouldn’t matter as much if Garnacho, Hoijlund etc could hit a barn door.

Did the telly director pan to the Lyon bench after either goal so we could see for ourselves?
Another couple of years of watching the wonderful Mo Salah - excellent.
Or not. I was hoping he’d take the money and head for Saudi 😩
Popped over to Britannia to watch Northampton v Reading and catch up with some mates. Forgot how much fun live games are.
Match was a proper bore but cracking atmosphere.
Surely this must be the end for Ange. If the bottom three weren't so woeful, Spurs (and Man Utd) would be on squeaky bum time.

Ruben out there trying to save him. Underperforming 'big clubs' need to stick together.
Dear god, that was absolutely awful! We just seem to be getting worse and worse. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I predicted 5-1 but they decided to stop at 4 and have a bit of a kickabout for a while.
Keano has just summed it up nicely, as always. The worst United squad ever and Amorim must have come in and been truly staggered that the club has spent so much money and ended up with a squad this bad
There’s no doubt that if there weren’t 3 teams at the bottom who really are bad, we’d be in a relegation scrap for sure. And deservedly so.
Roy sounds unimpressed. Although parts of his analysis were only audible to dogs.
It’d be a travesty if United win the donkey cup and get in the champions league.
I think we’re going to do it, just because it’d be the most mental thing ever! Finish 14th or 15th, possibly 16th and qualify for the Champions League.
We won the FA Cup last year and the League Cup the year before, all while playing like a pub side
I could not believe the arrogance of Garnacho's celebration. You would think he was hammering them in on a weekly basis.
For that alone, Man Utd deserved that hiding.

Did you miss Hojlands celebration when he scored on international duty? He did the Ronaldo thing, despite the fact that prior to that he hadn’t scored for months and he hasn’t scored since.
The gap between their enormous egos and their extremely limited capabilities is a huge yawning chasm
He should of just and got the ball and went back to the centre circle.
Zirkzee had a half decent game before he pulled his hamstring. I think he will be missed.
If you lose Bruno F, then it could get embarrassing.
Man Utd are still 2nd favourites to win the UEFA League and qualify for the CL!
All the Arsenal fans still drunk then?
Not rating the chances of the Ballon D'Or going to one of the Galacticos this year. Hope they don't sulk too much. 🤣
Don't worry, Trent will shore up their leaky defence. Wonder if watching those two legs he's having second thoughts?
S****y French football fans
Another triumph for the swear filter! Also, it leaves enough letters there to suggest an actual profanity, rather than a word that means 'posh'...
It’s the hope that kills you. I’m waiting for a quick succession of Onana howlers 😬
And right on cue…
****ing idiot!
This is painful, even for the neutral.
Spurs playing in red tonight?
OMG!!!!
Looks like I picked a bad time to make my Ovaltine.
