So desperate that they let the veil slip during brighton v liverpool match when the commentator said .." and here come Liverpool the Champions"
Ive read...somewhere...that bbc BT staff and ....most of the utd squad have heavy bets on Liverpool to win the title this season.....
The desperation to see redscouse suceed is,imo, heavily influenced by cash invested before a ball was kicked.
Sad.
Utd players will fight tooth and nail wed night....most of them trying to caah in at the bookies.That ref will surely have a sleepless tues night.....lets see how many times he blocks off the passing channels......


Ref blocking the channels!

How many times have we seen this in the past few months, getting a bit obvious now.

Although it looks inconspicuous, I do feel that certain refs actually do, do this, and understand what they are doing.
However there is no chance that they’ll be called out on it!
 
Paul Crackhead said on Sky "If Man City don't win the PL, it'll be a BAD season for them."

If its a bad season for us what does it say about the rest of the too clubs? While everyone expected Liverpool to challenge nobody expected them to have a near perfect season in spite of their massive spend. Did I mention massive spend, the media seems to have forgotten that.

Worst case scenario, runners up in the league, two cup finals one of which we won, charity shield winners and quarter finals of the champions league. Best case scenario a domestic quadruple. Fine margins. I am disappointed we threw stupid points away in games we were leading in and winning. Even forgetting the missed penalty at Anfield just a draw in those four games would have us two points clear now. Such is life.

Oliver was doing that Saturday.

They all do it in every game being played, it's there standard position and nothing to do with us, yes it's frustrating as fuck at times but with the linesman being on the other side the ref will always be in the position to the left of the attacking team.
 
Liverpool have been very good this year BUT they have benefitted massively from goalkeeping errors, refereeing errors and amazing good fortune with regards to their key players avoiding injuries.
Their 4 most important players - Salah has played in 47 out of 47 games (100%), Firmino 46/47 (98%), VVD has played in 44/47 (94%) & Mane 44/47 (94%).
Compared to ours - Sterling 46/56 (82%), Sergio 42/56 (75%), Fernandinho 41/56 (73%), & KDB 30/56 (53%).

So their have had their key players available for 96% of the time & we have had ours for 71%. We have also played 20% more games.

Not seen the press making a big issue of this!!

Much of this, aside from KDB, is down to Pep rotating rather than injuries but it's startling all the same.

Cuneyt Cakir did it a couple of times on Wednesday but realised he was in the way of the pattern of play and changed up his position

This is right - they're trained to ref at an angle to play.

Yep, the opposite diagonal to the two linos! I think they should be hoisted about twenty feet over the ground like they do with that camera. Tierney might be ok but they'd need one helluva hawser for Jonny Moss. Would't want him flying over just as Raheem or Sergio is about to thump one in. Jeez, if that cable snapped . . . . . . . !
