    The Title Race - 2023/24

    It seems inevitable that the Arsenal match will be decisive. Win and I believe it will give us the momentum to finish the season, a draw is advantage Liverpool and to an extent Arsenal, a defeat would realistically end our chances, 4 points behind 2 teams and hoping for snookers.

    Liverpool (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

    Very much a game of two halves. We started really well, though Alvarez was really obviously struggling, if ever a game cried out for Grealish it was this one. Despite that we had a lead and a few decent chances unfortunately poor final balls wasted some great opportunities. All the same it felt...

    Liverpool (A) - Sun 10th Mar, 15:45 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    First goal is huge, since Pep arrived our only win arrived when we scored first, when they score first they’ve won all bar the 2-2 a couple of seasons ago. The only thing I am worried about is Pep’s habit of changing the team to try maintain control but blunting our attacking edge. It will be...

    United (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

    The game reminded me a little of the away match against Arsenal last season and not just the score line. We wore them down, took a while but by the end they were exhausted. We really need to start taking our chances in first halves of matches. We’re making it so much harder on ourselves. Phil...

    United (H) | PL | Sun 3rd March, 15:30 | Pre-Match Thread

    I don’t like it when we’re so heavily favoured in the derby. United can go out and play (or more likely park the bus and counter) without any real pressure. We need to start fast, can’t afford one of those sleepy first halves like against Everton, Brentford and Chelsea. They have been far...

    The Title Race - 2023/24

    What’s incredible is the amount of stoppage time Liverpool and Arsenal get when they need a goal. We had 4 min against Chelsea and Arsenal. Also how long the injury time is when we’re a goal up…

    It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

    Chelsea could be in PSR bother so selling a club produced player like James produces a huge profit (hence they’ve been open to selling Gallagher)

    Bluemoon Under The Cartel's Irish Academic Microscope?

    I still think the whole notion of sportswashing when it comes to City is nonsense. The Abu Dhabi involvement with City has pushed UAE human rights issues far more into the media. Similarly would any major media outlet report on UAE’s involvement in Yemen as an issue if not for Sheikh Mansour...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    Delaney has a book out later this year on sportswashing so he’ll be back on our case soon enough.

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    I thought the podcast was fascinating for a number of reasons. Firstly you had Nick Harris spouting the current assumed narrative that pervades so much of the coverage and @projectriver politely and patiently responding with the facts in a very measured manner. There is an enormous amount of...

    The Title Race - 2023/24

    Whatever about their experience we haven’t replaced their goals. Both Gundogan and Mahrez were prolific scorers none of Doku, Nunes or Kovacic have any goal scoring record. The loss of those two plus KDB’s extended absence has meant that there’s huge pressure on Alvarez, Foden and of course...

    Bournemouth (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

    We started well, should have scored more first half. Had less and less control as the second half went on. Defensively we put in a shift but in attack our decision making around their box, our final ball and set pieces were well below par. We seem to have sacrificed our cutting edge for control...

    Bournemouth (A) - Sat 24th Feb, 17:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    It’s funny I almost prefer watching us play away because at least teams will have a go. Bournemouth look like another well coached side but they seem to be a counter attacking side. Hopefully they have a go at us which should create some space. Would love to see Foden central tomorrow if KDB...

    Brentford (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

    The contrast between Brentford’s defending last night and Saturday was stark.

    Brentford (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

    I think we will have a few more games like last night in the run in. Teams turn up to sit deep and counter, you can guarantee that Wolves, West Ham, Villa, Luton and united will play similar, hoping to keep a threat on the counter and set pieces. Arsenal might have a go. I see this season...

    Chelsea (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

    After some matches I get extremely annoyed when we drop points (Spurs at home for example) but I wasn’t quite as angry at the weekend. Yes it was disappointing, poor finishing, poor team setup and some poor individual performances meant we dropped points to a Chelsea side scrambling for form. It...

    Chelsea (H) - Sat 17th Feb, 17:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    Hard to know which Chelsea will turn up. They’ve been incredibly inconsistent. They were excellent away to Villa but dire away to Liverpool. They seem to be struggling to forge an identity as a team. We weren’t at our best at Stamford Bridge but despite that left the win behind. Pochettino has...

    Everton (H) - Sat 10th Feb, 12:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    Always hate matches against Everton. For years they’d turn up against us more than most. I still have nightmares about Tim Cahill or Moyes celebrating on the touch line. Everton usually had the upper hand. These days it’s reversed and they are hoping against expectation for a result. They...

    Burnley (H) - Wed 31st Jan, 19:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    We have an amazing record against Burnley, need to keep it going. Hate to put Vinny under pressure but we need the one. Hopefully the return of all the injured will see us really kick on.

    Spurs (A) - Fri 26th Jan, 20:00 | FA Cup | Pre-Match Thread

    We may be the only major club to which the words “lads it’s Tottenham” strike fear. No idea how we continually play well against them but can’t finish. No idea how it’s going to go tomorrow but it would incredible for us to finally score a goal there. In all seriousness we’re starting to...
