Whatever happens here, some sort of gloating will be in order.
Premier League holiday fixtures (Mon 26 Dec - Wed 4 Jan)
- Thread starter top1whoisman
- Start date
why is Aguero not on the pitch? Guardiola must be out of his mind.
Mannone has made some tremendous saves so far.
It seems like a matter of time
It seems like a matter of time
Never know why this annoys people!
Sunderland are so shit with their defending 
There it is.
Was only a matter of time.
in fairness, i wouldnt mind watching you guys get a few decisions against yourselves. p
game over
Liverpool score. As usual Sunderland terrible defending. Sturridge.
C'mon Larsson! Try to score an own goal!
Porn
At least they did it early unlike last time.
What the actual feck are Sunderland doing in defense? They just run back and try to organize themselves in front of the box, haven't seen such a thing ever before.
Subway Sturridge scores
Well that was coming, good thing Chelsea look unstoppable at the top
Sunderland defence. Basically a representation of Moyes.
AHAHAHA! Was that a defending?
Cannot wait for Sunderland to go down.
I agree one or two mistakes shouldn't warrant a demotion but what Mason put on display the other day was on a whole other level. It was pure horror.
Absolute muck. I hope Sunderland and Moyes get relegated.
Hull score at WBA. Snodgrass.
Sunderland are pathetic.
Extremely frustrating how the top 4 have all started winning just as we had started to make up ground.
Snodgrass 1-0 Hull.
Well in sturridge, scores so many headers these days
Woeful, woeful defending.
I can't remember which one it was but there was an ex-EPL ref (from the early 00's, someone else might know) talking at half time on one of the American broadcasters about why the FA protect their refs so much and take away all accountability. Basically, there's only a handful of refs in the country that are at the level required for the EPL. You just don't appreciate how difficult a job it is, how fast it is, how hard it is to cut through the play acting, to see everything through the crowds at 100mph and then be 60 metres down the pitch doing it there as well.
So if they start hanging refs out to dry for their poor decisions or start demoting them on every bad call, not only does it undermine their already fragile authority, it will make their profession downright miserable and unmanageable and there will be no queue to do an already unpopular job and eventually the quality will go down and down.
He also said that the majority of referees know they aren't perfect and are all in full support of video refs making their life easier and having a more informed decision on the big calls.
Hull score as well.
Its not even like he can be accused of bias he's just useless.
They'll only be 3 points clear if Pool win and that run of theirs won't last forever.
Tbf he played 2 games ago, he is injury prone and they're playing Burnley at home.
I reckon Sunderland will score
We've been waiting for Sunderland to go for years, so maybe bringing Moyes in is the right combination.
In Otamendi's case, it's because he is combining that whiny gamesmanship fall-to-the-floor-like-a-soft-toy get opponents booked persona with a precious fear of the cold. And he plays for man City.
Hull 1-0 Snodgrass...
It genuinely seems like Pep has completely abandoned his philosophy
And Chelsea have Spurs away next.
Dunno what Axel Witsel was laughing at, that looked painful.
