5 more wins!

(Disclaimer nothing to do with the games)
I saw my Manchester City fan friend this week for the first time since last year. He looked very pissed at me (this is football, it's supposed to be fun).
He told me in an aggressive and obviously pissed tone that Liverpool should thank VAR (honestly I was expecting better banter). I laughed.

Denial. Anger. Acceptance.

 

[hatterson]

They should thank VAR for a 21 point lead. That makes sense.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

No Pulisic or Kante for Chelsea, but Christensen is fully in, and Abraham and Loftus-Cheek (!!!!!!!) are in the squad.

 

[Havre]

Spursfans booing Rudiger? If so that is beyond embarrassing.

Alderweireld being also rather embarrassing. Causing goals on a regular basis at the moment.

 

[Cassano]

Was really high on Ndombele, but I swear every game it looks like he's trying to get into match fitness.

 

[Havre]

His fitness is embarrassing. Never seen a PL player being that out of shape. Drinkwater would just run pass him after 35 mins.

Thankfully that can be fixed, but you got to question his attitude allowing himself to drop to this level.

Mourinho will sort him out or he'll end up at Everton.

Hope so. Mourinho loves him so I think he'll be fine longer term. So much natural ability.

 

[AB13]

Only Tottenham aren’t given a red for that

 

[Havre]

Shouldn´t you Swedes be enjoying your biathlon instead?

 

[Havre]

Spurs like stupid players. Second time today Lo Celso acts as an i"#"$.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Disgusting shocker of a non-call from VAR. Leg breaker challenge.

 

[Havre]

I don´t think it is a leg breaker, but still a red card.

Just another example of the pointlessness of VAR.

 

[Savi]

I don´t think it is a leg breaker

??



edit: unless you meant "its not a leg breaker because his leg doesn't break" well yeah, then you're right

 

[Halladay]

Ndombele was in there.

 

[Havre]

There isn´t much force in it. He really couldn´t have hit him any cleaner and the leg isn´t close to breaking.

Only norwegians cares about that shit. Same with Cross-Country. Must be funny to put all your money into sports no one cares about. We will be enjoying yet another championship in the biggest sport on earth instead. Maybe you can join us for the first time in a million years.

Sorry I forgot. Pole vault is the "sport" everyone care about.

 

[hatterson]

I’d assume the reason he didn’t get a red was that the ref though he was trying to shield the ball and was a tad late versus trying to stop.

I don’t think that should matter though since he came down with a non-trivial amount of force straight on the side of the shin.

To escape without even a yellow is hilarious.

 

[Havre]

Which no-one one here as far as I can tell disagrees with.

 

[Pensionsraddare]

Sorry I forgot. Pole vault is the "sport" everyone care about.

Pole vault is just one part of Athletics. Overall Athletics is a big sport. Probably the biggest one at the Olympics. You should be happy about Warholm.

 

[hatterson]

Ouch that hurts for Abraham
