Premier League Match Week 4 - North London Calling

[fletcherpost]

The Big North London Derby tomorrow is the headline grabber.

But in a wee minute we've got Ten Hags merry band of overpaid underachievers (not my words) taking on Southampton at St Marys. Both teams need a result, but the press over here are calling it a must win for Ten Hag, who seems to be on a shooglie peg at Old Trafford. Let's see how it pans out.

And Archer misses a penalty for Southampton. Long wait before it got taken and he didn't fancy it. Poor penalty.

And de Ligt scores for Man Utd, Bruno with a lovely assist. Such is the way of football.

 

[fletcherpost]

Rashford makes it two. Just a couple of minutes after A Southampton player had a great chance to first time a shot and he takes a terrible touch, doesn't even get a shot off...then Utd go and score. Southampton might be this years Burnley. Trying to play the beautiful game but not quite having the players at this level.

[allstonite]

Yeah that’s a straight red every day

 

[CodPiece XL]

Could have torn his kneecap off.

 

[67YAZ]

I think red there is the right call. It’s a cynical challenge to stop a counter, but Stephens got his studs up on Garnacho’s knee. No place for that in the game.

 

[67YAZ]

NM

Where's that there the Shoogly Peg boozer gadgie?

Rose Street, Edinburgh. Never actually been in it, it’s across from the Black Cat which was a regular hang out since I knew the staff there. Jane, the manager of the Black Cat opened her own bar in Leith. It’s called The Mother Superior.. inspired by character in Trainspotting. Anyhooo, always loved the name Shoogly Peg hence taking a pic of it.

I've walked along Rose Street a million times and never noticed it...how odd. Then again i don't visit many of the pubs on Rose Street for some reason. Maybe cos the Counting House on George Street does strawberry daiquiris for a fiver. I'll have to visit the Mother Superior though.

It’s down at the Charlotte Sq End of Rose street. Easy to miss but across from Black Cat.

 

[fletcherpost]

Very early goal for Brentford against City, which means they'll likely get spanked by a 3 or 4 goal margin.

Edit for clarity: Brentford are the spanked, City the spankees

 

[67YAZ]

Oh Diaz with the non-stop effort then rattles the upright.

 

[OCST]

God bless Ol Man Jamie Vardy. Capitalizes on a bad touch, picks up the ball, and coolly slots for his 100th PL goal. Snotty celebration and all.

 

[67YAZ]

LOL English commentators. Forest player throws his hand out shoulder high to stop Macca & hits Macca in the face. “I think that’s just a natural position, you want to make yourself bigger when you receive the ball.”

 

[Average Reds]

Sels is so, so lucky.

 

[67YAZ]

Sels is so, so lucky.

dribbled it between his own legs!

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Sels is so, so lucky.

That was nearly an all-time keeper blooper.

 

[Average Reds]

That was nearly an all-time keeper blooper.

When he pulled it back and lost control, the angle was such that it was 100% guaranteed to go into goal. And then it freakishly glanced off the inside of his elbow behind his back and stayed out.

 

[67YAZ]

Bradley on for Macca. Trent to midfield?

 

[CPT Neuron]

Attack is disjointed right now for LFC

 

[67YAZ]

Wow. Elanga to CHO. Gorgeous stuff. Ugh

 

[CPT Neuron]

About as well placed as could be

 

[allstonite]

Oof. Alisson misjudged that and let it go

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Not great defending from Bradley there.

 

[fletcherpost]

Oh boy.

 

[SoxFanInCali]

Interesting to go 3 at the back with both of your backup fullbacks in.

 

[Pesky Pole]

Strange game when both Trent and Mo seem to have lost their touch at once. Maybe Southgate not playing Trent was better for club.

 

[allstonite]

This is like a Liverpool game from 2 seasons ago where they dominate possession but don’t look very dangerous in the final third. Hopefully a one off after the international break

 

[67YAZ]

Mo just off it today. No one was clicking.

Cmon you Reds, find something here.

 

[CPT Neuron]

No insight in the final 3rd today for LFC, they look flat, uninspired

 

[Mr Jums]

Not going to jinx anything but happy with recent developments in my game of interest

 

[fletcherpost]

Credit to Forest. They defended really well. And they took their chance. Liverpool were off it, but that's in part to how Forest set up. Very hard to break down and Liverpool just didn't have their shooting boots on.

 

[Mr Jums]

Felt like it should have been 3 but it was real close to 0 so I can't complain too much!

 

[SoxFanInCali]

This is the matchup I saw at Anfield last season. Fortunately it went better than today.

 

[OCST]

your defense is only as strong as your weakest link, and Everton due to injuries and our managers fondness for his binkies has the inaptly named Ashley Young at RB.

 

[OCST]

There is also Michael “Aircraft Carrier” Keane

 

[OCST]

Woooo hoo! Just as I was telling Mrs O that Everton looked awful, McNeil picks Onana’s pocket and slots a perfectly placed worm burner past Emi. Villa 0-1 Everton 16’

 

[OCST]

YEAH BABY

And just as I complain about Mykolenko going off hurt, McNeil serves up a perfect free kick to Dom’s header. Everton were being run ragged but are improbably up 2-0.

 

[OCST]

2-1. Watkins header.

 

[OCST]

Duran hits an absolute screamer from 40 yards out to put villa up 3-2

 

[OCST]

And DCL just hit the bar

 

[OCST]

For the second week running Toffees lose 3-2 after getting out to a two goal lead. Defending is awful.

 

[Mighty Joe Young]

First game at Anfield - first Premier League game - and they lost

Oh well - had a fantastic time. Also took the stadium tour on Thursday which was amazing.

Will upload some photos after I edit them for size

Mo just off it today. No one was clicking.

Cmon you Reds, find something here.

Salah just wanted to reward his new FPL managers

Are GKs having moment this weekend? Two PK saves and an assist

 

[HowBoutDemSox]

Today’s Bournemouth-Chelsea match set a Premier League record for yellow cards issued in a game, with 14, in a game that had absolutely nothing remarkable about it, just Anthony Taylor being Anthony Taylor.

You should probably attend more matches

 

[OCST]

Not a small sample size.



Dyche seat is muy caliente. Current Palace majority owner John Textor has the inside track to buy Everton & Dyche is gone if so 100%.

 

[Kliq]

Very attack heavy lineup for Spurs. Bentancur the only holding midfielder with Maddison, Kulusevski, Brennan Johnson, Son and Solanke up top.
