All good Weasel, sorry me being a plank!
I'm really black and white, and the death of our Queen for me and my family is a big thing, emotions sometimes get the better of us…I apologise for being reactionary, and I've e obviously been emotional,here
my values are very basic .. do the right thing even if that's a problem …. If you can lay your head on the pillow knowing you've done all you can during your day to be decent, honest and helpful then that's a good day.
sorry mate for being a Pratt and over emotional
we are all good mate
me being a primaDonna !!!
carl BTW I love Frankie H

Liverpool the team as good as they may be
are not as good as Man Utd for me
when it comes to the passion, no doubt each set of fans are committed,
but come on Weasel it has to be admitted,
when it comes to scousers, " why is it's not fair"
I have to say I always despair,
if Utd lose or a result goes against us,
we complain just a bit no long lasting fuss,
but when it comes to the scousers, this is what I think,
unfairness, " why us" they throw the kitchen sink!
it's football we are all on the same level plain,
but For all to see it's blatantly plain
"it's not fair, we were robbed" scousers always cry,
always the downtrodden, the bleating persistent,
but football is all about being consistent,
ups an downs will always come into play,
but with hand on heart I have to say,
ask the question …" who's the best Man Utd or Liverpool"
to not know the answer you have to be a fool,
Utd of course are way the better team,
if you disagree..keep on with your dream,
but I'm afraid we are better, it's just a plain fact,
you will always be a supporting act

Man Utd v Leeds, whilst a long standing rivalry, is hundreds of miles away from the action. Makes perfect sense to sack it off.
This whole farce is precisely why the weekend just gone should've been played, there was little or no impact on plod and a minutes silence etc would be respectful.
Now we're staring a second round of postponements in the face and no clear space in the calendar to play them unless the league carries on into June or players already overloaded have to cram in more midweek games post World Cup.
At this rate I'm sticking a tenner on Acrinton for the FA cup as no one above them will want to field a decent team

Just ridiculous, I think for once we all agree on something!
I can kinda see the logic in postponing Chelsea Pool, given the funeral is in London the next day. But ehhh Utd Leeds? Manchester isn't even remotely close to London. How many people are they expecting for the funeral, 3 billion? Loved as the queen was, I very much doubt they will be lining the streets the whole way to Manchester.
Also, how come the Police can't cover Chelsea's game but they can cover Brentford's? Same police force……

Just the Premier League showing there incompetent's. They rushed to postpone last weekends fixtures knowing full well that some games this weekend would get postponed. The Utd Leeds game is off because it's a category A game so needs extra police that aren't available, like you say though @weasel how many police do they need. Why don't Man Utd play Palace at Old Trafford instead???? Palace Brighton is also off and we were playing Palace last weekend at Palace, just reverse the fixtures!! So now Man Utd aren't playing a PL game for a month and the next league game is City away, brilliant! Then a month after that the World Cup starts. Then from Boxing Day we're playing every 3 days until May by the looks of things. I loved the Queen as well thought she was amazing and didn't put a foot wrong for 70 years, not many people in a position like the Queens can say that throughout the entire history of humanity.

I know Kane & Son can be deadly but surely at 2-2 away from home you just shut up shop? (Not even seen the highlights by the way so no clue what happened apart from the score)
I saw chunks of the first half whilst cooking dinner, it looked fairly even. Spuds were probably just about the better side but Leicester were by no means hanging on. Some properly **** defending from Spurs to let Leicester in, and likewise by Leicester for the goal at the start of the second half. Weirdly, from what I saw, it wasn't a 6-2 game. But yer man in nets for Leicester is no way a PL keeper and that team just disintegrates when the **** hits the fan, or they go 2 goals down.
They will do well to stay up with yer man in nets and no change in management. Not that I blame Brendan for their lack of investment, but he doesn't seem able to galvanise the team to fight for survival, and boy are they in a relegation dog fight.

A lovely 2 week break for Liverpool now.
No games for two weeks and then NINE in October. Logic in there somewhere. A winter WC so let's put a stupid Int break in a few weeks before the WC and force leagues/UEFA to cram a stupid number of games into the month before so all the players are shattered or bucked. ******* genius.

Yeah the first half was neck and neck but they just imploded in the second half. Although saying that all three of Son's goals were incredible, not much any keeper could have done about them, he had a point to prove after being benched. Glad he's scoring again. As you say still the same leaky defence though, it seems no change of manager/players can fix that at Spurs.
Brendan's got to go this weekend surely? It's like Scott Parker at Bournemouth al over again, you can't sulk about a lack of investment, getting the best out of the players you already have is literally your job.

Yes this season is a farce IMO. Surely Brendon Rodgers will get sacked today?
I do have sympathy with auld Brendan, he has been shafted with lack of investment and Schmeichel was a big player for them. I still can't get my head round how he was only worth 1m, and no one else/bigger wanted him. He's not a world beater but he is better than that.
As you say though Edd, his job is to make the most of what he has got. He should be doing a Jose and starting the whole "it's us against he world" BS to try and get some sort of reaction from his team. They just look devoid of confidence ATM. Like all teams at the bottom, they seem to be shafted by constant individual errors and luck seems to have deserted them (that third Son goal was very close to being offside, on another day…). But their inability to defend set pieces is 18 months old. Any decent manager would have found a way to sort that out by now.
I suspect the Board at Leicester don't want to pay Brendan's supposed pay off, rumour has it that it's 10m+. If things are really tight, you can see the logic, but that club is headed for relegation and that will cost them more than 10m. Obviously there is no guarantee sacking Brendan saves them, and his replacement may well want money in Jan, but changing manager is the quickest and easiest way to try and turn things around.
If things are that tight then relegation will see an exodus of players and the limited budget will hardly help them get back up. But then, have they not applied to expand the Stadium?

If City win today can we just give them the title and call it quits now?
Another shocker from Pool, Brighton are a good side and Pool struggle against them, but you can't keep giving teams a head start. Pool have shipped the first goal in 7 of their 9 games this season and kept CS's in the other two. Two CS in 9 is poor, 3 wins from 9 is equally bad for a side who are supposed to be PL and CL contenders. Zero chance Pool win the title from here, and I can see them dropping points against Rangers this week and or next.
Still two easy games either side of Rangers. Arsenal away and City at home.

Yeah GN talks some bollocks and is contradictory a lot of the time.
Man City were good on Sunday, but Man Utd were poor and we seem to be getting smacked up like that to often. On one hand Ten Hag has got his work cut out against a Man City side that has got one of the best coaches ever with an open cheque book for the last 6 years.
But you have to put some blame on Ten Hag for not picking Casemiro in a game like that, he basically picked 3 number 8's as the midfield 3! We probably would have still lost but at least we would have had a midfield.
