GW 16, 12/9-10: Send In the Clowns

[fletcherpost]

What a belter of a strike.

 

[allstonite]

Harvey!
Love the confidence after he shanked a chance in the box maybe 5 mins ago

 

[CPT Neuron]

Just a snipers shot there

 

[pedro1918]

I'd like another.

 

[nolasoxfan]

Cardiac Kids, indeed.

 

[fletcherpost]

Nearly.

 

[pedro1918]

He was off.

 

[allstonite]

Head was offside I guess? His feet were behind the defenders

 

[Pesky Pole]

Cardiac Kids, indeed.

Was just thinking the same. This team is terrible for my health.

 

[SocrManiac]

Nobody is going to quote my earlier post?

 

[OCST]

Nobody is going to quote my earlier post?

Which one?

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Another outstanding game for Allison with two top shelf saves. He really needs a nickname - Robbie Fowler’s may be in jeopardy.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Ref went pretty card-happy at the end, maybe to justify the pretty soft second yellow.

Looks like I made the right call tuning in at 6am Pacific instead of 4:30.

 

[candylandriots]

A goal. A real goal! It was a penalty, but it's been pretty much forever since they've scored at home.

Union 1, Gladbach 0.

Didn't realize that Joe Scally had moved to Gladbach.

Wasn’t just cards - he didn’t miss an opportunity to give a foul on basically any contact. Didn’t help that Palace insisted on falling over given any chance.

Old Trafford: Solanke puts Bournemouth ahead with a lovely deft nick into the corner from inside the box.

 

[67YAZ]

Young Trafford with a nice save to keep Brighton off the board.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Young Trafford with a nice save to keep Brighton off the board.

He’s obviously destined to play for ManU in the closing stages of his career

 

[67YAZ]

Odobert with a very nice hit, Burnley up despite Brighton being the side looking more likely to.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Awesome goal for the Blades.

 

[67YAZ]

Given Onana’s play, Young Trafford might be an Old Trafford target soon.

 

[SocrManiac]

This is who Onana is. I don’t know why anybody is surprised.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Bournemouth embarrassing United 0-2

 

[fletcherpost]

Excellent, we should get to hear one of my favourite sounds in sport, Man U home fans booing their players at the final whistle.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

What can you expect when Martial - who was cooked three years ago - is given 55 minutes and Rashford sits on the bench

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Excellent, we should get to hear one of my favourite sounds in sport, Man U home fans booing their players at the final whistle.

Or at the 73rd minute

 

[pedro1918]

Wow.

 

[fletcherpost]

Wow, just shows how bad Chelsea are.

Full credit to Bournemouth, they've been superb.

 

[shawnrbu]

Kompany didn’t get to make his triple sub before the goal.

 

[CPT Neuron]

Heard on the TalkSport broadcast... there's a small girl with a Santa hat on. Imagine if her wish to Father Christmas was to make Man United play well, not even he could make that happen.

 

[swiftaw]

Excellent, we should get to hear one of my favourite sounds in sport, Man U home fans booing their players at the final whistle.

Assuming they haven’t all left by then.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

The horse has left the barn - and heading directly to the glue factory

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Hah - what a doofus - Bruno gets a yellow - wouldn’t be shocked if he did that on purpose to avoid Anfield.

 

[fletcherpost]

That's a coupon buster as they used to say.

Oh well, just the three goals.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Well, that was fun.

 

[fletcherpost]

Up The Villa

 

[nolasoxfan]

What can you expect when Martial - who was cooked three years ago - is given 55 minutes and Rashford sits on the bench

Brit commentators on XM said that Rashford was ill with a fever. But if that’s the case, why is he even there?

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Lovely goal!

 

[fletcherpost]

Super John Mcginn.

 

[OCST]

Not a good day for the favored teams

 

[fletcherpost]

I can see Arsenal scoring before the end of the half. I hope I'm wrong.

I think you’re right - Villa continuously give the ball away in dangerous places.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Really hard to win at football by standing still.

 

[fletcherpost]

Man they're dropping like flies.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

Arsenal with the first handball

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Handling on Villa first though, no?

Edit — guess not

 

[shawnrbu]

Martinez is cut.

 

[fletcherpost]

It's not clear and obvious that's for sure.

 

[Morgan's Magic Snowplow]

Ridiculous sequence there. Referee certainly had no business confidently disallowing the goal in the first place and then the replay suggests Cash handled it first.

Arsenal haven’t gotten a call since Arteta had the temerity to point out that VAR was a broken system post-Newcastle.

this…. Isn’t true. The replay clearly showed Havertz handling it with elbow first then with hand. Cash’s could have easily been called incidental. That was a clear handball.
