Football All things Football

Have you ever witnessed a more blatant display of matchfixing than this, which could deny what might be the greatest FA Cup moment at Wembley since Wigan won the FA cup. It's akin to a tomato in a fruit salad; technically, it's correct, but practically, it's not. Cricket & rugby have it right, they don't seek perfection. If it's too close to call, they stick with the on-field decision.

Everton have handed the title to Man City. It's theirs to lose now. Games in hand are no substitute for points on the board though.
 
As it’s the North London derby this weekend, and as last night shows, it could be the title challengers nearest neighbours that could have a big say, on the title outcome.
 
it seems they just ran out of steam. & i thought the reaction to beating us a month ago was telling, it seem like relief not joy. brighton & sheffield united seemed too much of an effort theyve hust collapsed under the pressure like so many have before.

its their own fault. because they just not recovered from man utd fa cup game i feel. it what they dominated but lost. wasnt the stat in 2 recent games at old trafford 60+ shots they had defeat & a draw. shame because i enjoy his passion if his moaning is annoying & hoped he would win premier league as he deserved as without him premier league wouldve been been as boring as max Verstappen
 
another saturday. another defensive capulitation as soon as weve gone behind, we are our own worst enemy. so often a great 1st half had so many chances. then decide to just throw the game away with moments of madness with schoolboy errors at the back
2-1 - the marking at the free kick was atrocious, let their best players. get left wide open 6 yds out.
3-1 - i think i dont want to know what holgate was thinking, what did he think would happen dragging back a player in the area as he lost the foot race
4-1 - an own goal

the stats show the difference in premier league attacks. they had 5 shots on target & scored from 4 of them, we had 4 scored 1

what's so frustrating about this season. weve had the opportunities to do so much better. despite the bin fire. the points we've thrown away deserves relegation itself,
2-1 up v Luton with 10 mins to go, conceded 2 in 5 mins lost 3-2
Lead in stoppage time v Villa & Spurs drew & lost.
2-0 up v Bournemouth - drew 2-2
3-1 up v Fulham - drew 3-3 & really should've lost 4-3
Went 1-0 & 2-1 up v Palace & Man Utd. lost both
didn't make the most of being the better team west ham & Chelsea at home, gifting them goals

the mentality is needs sorting. because every time weve had an opportunity we folded under the pressure. id argue weve thrown away as many points as we've gained
