Wow what a game at Stamford Bridge and of course VAR has just played its part again.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

FA Cup weekend. Thank God for some proper football :)

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

There will still be plenty of diving , simulation and cheating Mr K in whatever pyramid of football you are watching.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Yes but this time it will be in 6 inch mud, under dodgy floodlights (if they have them) with teams that have nothing to lose, and professionals that are cacking themselves. Anything can happen. ;)

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Another game, another rash of four yellow cards in first 30 minutes, it can only mean one thing, the ref is Mike Dean.:rolleyes:

Jose Mourinho appointed new Head Coach

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

They obviously had him lined up weeks ago behind the managers back....

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Would love to hear what Arthur thinks of that.:D

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

With 12 games played, Spurs are below Newcastle. You can't ignore that. 3 wins in 12 is abysmal. Added bad luck and board pressures in the transfer market of course.

Jose won't be signing for Newcastle then once this Mexican-Arab Peter Kenyon American takeover is completed.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

He has been very quiet for a while now..

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

I'm not impressed with Jose being appointed, neither are the Spurs fans I work with.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

If he does well supporters will be thinking the other way..

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

A dreadful performance by the Red Devils this afternoon which l am sure even Jim would concur with.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Very poor, thought they would miss McTominay but not this much.:(

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Its hard to name a United player who would escape criticism this afternoon.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

DeGea, Lindelof,Maguire and Wan Bissaka have done little wrong, The rest have been shocking. Didn't really deserve a draw.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Well the forwards did wake up later in the game.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Every cloud and all that, United did score three excellent goals and by two teenagers and a twenty two year old, all of them United academy graduates.:cool:

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

They are the future as they just need to be given a good chance to develop which is not in vogue generally with most top clubs nowadays..

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Should get behind your local national League team instead Den (Eastleigh), they had a good win over Torquay yesterday. South coast bragging rights? ;). Or Chichester in the FA Cup?

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Actually when my partner and l was staying with my parents in Hampshire my younger brothers and l went to watch Portsmouth play Havant and Waterlooville at Havant although we did go into to Eastleigh to watch a steam train go past as well as going into a few charity shops.:)

Man City's leaky defence coming to the fore again.:D

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

2-2 with a minute to go ... the Toon Army is refusing to lie down. I have to admit I have a great deal of affection for Newcastle, I lived in the city a few months when I was (much) younger and their passion for the game was something to behold (and that's coming from someone who grew up on Merseyside!)

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

No matter how Newcastle do their supporters are tremendously loyal unlike some sides in the capital.

Watching them under King Kevin on TV was mesmerizing to watch not just for the football but also seeing someone who manages just as passionately as when he played the game.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Looking like the league is yours already Den

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Don't speak too soon Henke as our best player this season is out for 2 months and our goalie has just been sent off and we are hanging on by a thread.

Sooo, who else is watching footy on Amazon Prime tonight ?

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Quite a stuttering PQ for the first couple of minutes but it has settled down hopefully.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Picture is very good viewing on my TV, looking at it on iPad there is just over 30 seconds delay from TV pictures.

Picture quality on Samsung phone is very good.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Yes l noticed according to some sources that Amazon Prime coverage is 24sec behind real time.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

I rarely watch live football, but Liverpool - Everton is on tomorrow night and I may have the house to myself. I also have Amazon Prime. So who knows ...

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Pretty solid 4k coverage here.

Alongside my discount and even without, generally cheaper per year than a Sky sub per month plus BT on top. As well as plenty of original TV shows to throw in with it. Oh and obviously the free 1 day postage too which generally pays for itself a few times over.

Long live Prime football.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

All told Prime is a great deal. It totally pays for itself at this time of year. Our family is spread all over the country so Amazon Prime One Day Delivery is brilliant ... even when we've forgotten someone, we can fix it even quite late on in December.

The football is a nice little bonus for me. I've never been in to it enough to want to pay for it, but if it's there, I'll probably dip in.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Jose out, Ole in.:D
A well deserved win, totally outplayed Spurs. Rashford could have had 3 before half time. With McTominay back alongside Fred the midfield looks so much better.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Was it the best performance of the season Jim? as my eyes were elsewhere during the evening.:D

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

They have often started games like that only to run out of steam. A record of 10 points dropped from winning positions is testament to that. When they attack as they can the pace up front is frightening. Just not putting enough chances away. Spurs did not really perform up front, Kane was anonymous. Even so they could still have nicked an equaliser at the end. McTominay staying fit is of major importance ATM.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football

but . . but . . but I thought foreign managers were the best in the world?

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

But , but , but Guardiola , Rodgers , Klopp..... 1st and 2nd and 3rd in the Premiership , None of them English but then nationality is unimportant if they can bring home the bacon...;)

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

They are only successful because - and this is a secret so shhh - the English ladies who clean their offices are the tactical gurus that influence the managers and make things work :D

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Perhaps we need to pass that secret over to the also rans of the division as no doubt their results might take a upturn for once..:D

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

No chance, to be honest I quite like the idea of Watford being unable to secure the services of a dedicated (and very busy) office cleaner :D

Get in there Manchester again...:D:D

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

They may rue all those missed chances, could have been 5 or 6 - 1 by now.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

This City defence cannot defend for toffee..

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

They don’t half make their fans sweat. :D

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Indeed they do although l thought the behaviour by a few Man City louts throwing bottles and other things at Man United players was disgraceful.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Their supporters do lack class. :(

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

There was also racist abuse as well sadly:(.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Sadly these idiots are everywhere not just City.

No doubt about that Jim sadly as its a problem in parts of our society as well as being a problem in other countries.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

A couple of interesting Man United stats. They led 2-0 at half time yesterday. They have never lost a Premier League game when leading by 2 goals at half time.

And another stat to be even more proud of.

When they play Everton on Sunday their first 11 will include at least 3 or 4 academy graduates. After the midweek Europa Cup game that will mean that United have fielded at least one academy graduate in the first team for 4000 consecutive matches. :cool:

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Which Man United team will turn out today is the question.:D

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Not the best game for sure, both sides decidedly average .

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Still the young talented United players are the big silver lining among the so called big names who have failed to deliver.

The win at the Etihad seems but a distant memory.

The question is why?

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Not just that, already beaten City, Leicester, Spurs and Chelsea, still the only team to take points of Liverpool,yet lose to Newcastle, Bournemouth, Palace?

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

That reminds me of the Liverpool before Klopp's tenure in that they beat the better sides but lose to the average ones.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

More racist chanting at a English football stadium.:(

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Newcastle are picking up way more points than anyone could have expected. Somethings clicking. They're not being pushed over.

Disgraceful stuff on the racism front. What is actually going on here? I can't remember it at all in the English game growing up, now it's present at some point every season.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Yes indeed these last couple of years a very tiny minority seem to have become emboldened when it comes to racist taunts and chants at English football stadiums.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

The steady rise in social media has led to a generation who are anything but ‘social’. The abusive language used online on all topics has permeated what few brain cells the morons have sadly.:(

They should make them play the next game behind closed doors without TV cameras. Now that really would hurt a Premiership club/it's sponsors/Sky and make them take this seriously. Won't happen if course, money rules.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

The trouble with the football authorities and all the other relevant groups is none of them possess the moral backbone and will to do that Mr K.

Re: Season 2019/2020 Football
 

Second goal of the season disallowed via VAR with an armpit being the marker. :erm:

Where was the clear and obvious error. If you're needing to measure it to near an inch, it isn't obvious nor clear. Spurs now find themselves a goal down from a free-kick that looks to be the result of a dive. :rolleyes:
