Match OTHER MATCHES FRED - 2022/23

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Any truth that Patrick vieira was seen meeting Arteta at south mimms to borrow a tape recording of you’ll never walk alone and 6 JBL speakers earlier this week??
 
I'm not sure that's his point.

He said City dropped 21 points last season and won the league. Which means Liverpool could drop a further 17 points this season and still win the league. And people writing them off winning it after just two games is hilarious.

It's not about writing them off. But after one week of the Premier League they're already giving themselves an uphill battle. City also have a more than decent record against Liverpool in recent times. A couple more draws anytime soon in games they expect to win and it will soon be more than an uphill task if City keep winning.

They're 4 points behind. That's not an uphill battle when there's 108 more points to play for.

The comment is as silly as the guy who said "Game over" in the Chelsea match thread yesterday after we went 1-0 down.
 
Anyone the back story?

Battle of Brammall Lane.

Santos got injured earlier in the season, fractured orbital bone (I think) caused by Andy Johnson who was at Forest at the time. But he had recently signed for West Brom and this was Santos' first game back from injury since that occasion. Warnock brought him on in the 66th minute and within a minute, Santos went in with that challenge as payback.

All hell broke loose, another Sheff Utd player got sent off in the process (They were already down to 10 men prior after their keeper got sent off early on).

Game got abandoned in the final 5 or so minutes as two Sheff Utd players went off injured and they only had 6 players on the pitch.
 
It's all about context.

Obviously the PL isn't over, it's fucking August but psychologically the 4 point difference right now is pretty big, Liverpool being 4 points behind after playing two relatively weaker teams who they should have put to bed whilst City already took points off West Ham who are notoriously a tough nut to crack at home.

As of now Liverpool are playing catch up because we know the kind of run City can put together, Liverpool can and have put together the same run like 10/11/12 wins in a row but they need to be perfect and they haven't been perfect thus far, they're effectively playing catch up already because of the kind of levels City have set.

Four points is pretty significant when you consider how things have played out between them in recent seasons. I'm struggling to see how you're not understanding this. If City win one of their games against Liverpool and draw the other, something that's hardly beyond the realms of possibility, that's already a pretty big gap without taking into account anything else.
