You will!Not even going to look out for the result. All too predictable for this and Sunday.
But we play entertaining football?
It's been going on since the 90's!I certainly believe there is at least some bribery that has occurred in the prem. And likely some influencing of officials to try and extend the title race in order to drive ad revenue/media interest. I just don’t know that those things have been a consistent factor to us being slightly disfavored in our reffing decisions overall.
" surely Postecoglou will have our boys pumped up after what happened at WHL last November?"You never know mate, we might surprise you.
Chelsea are riddled with injuries and they're going through a hugely disappointing season much like ourselves.
One interesting thing though. A lot of posters have been saying how the scousers will be so pumped up when we go their place after the events in our win against 9 men, well by the same token, surely Postecoglou will have our boys pumped up after what happened at WHL last November?
And we’re top of the possession league! Most important stat in football.
This could really come back to haunt you….
Thought frank Lampard had retired.
How come we lost on Sunday then? Don't tell me it's because they scored more goals than we did, because I won't believe it. It's entirely due to the 'officials' being bent.Got fuck all to do with that. Derby games are never about "good football".

He already plays like a prime Drogba most of the time.So we all know that Jackson will turn into prime Drogba tonight yeah, for one game only, and Gallagher into Makelele, etc etc? Just checking we all know it's coming![]()
He was trying to do an 'Alfie Conn'
I think it's time to start Madison on the bench.
My team tonight (probably not Anges)
Vicario
Porro, Romero, VdV, Emerson
Bentancour
Sarr, Kulusevski
Johnson, Richarlison, Son
Is Udogie still out? If fit he replaces Emerson
I think it's time for Maddison to start on the bench, put some fire up his ass.. He's been pretty lousy lately.
Also Bissouma isn't the player he was the first 10 games. And i don't like Höjbjerg, so Bentancour starts as 6. Sarr has an incredible engine and midfield really looked brighter with Kulusevski than Maddison against Woolwich.
Son as 9 hasn't worked well lately and I think Richy is fully fit now, fit to start. Werner injured and Kulusevski in midfield leaves Son and Johnson with Richy.
I didn't watch the game but as much as Michael Oliver did his best to aid the result, if we concede 2 goals to set pieces and another to Saka cutting in to his left foot, we don't really have a case to make. Even if that was a clear penalty on Kulusevski, we still conceded an easy transition goal after.
There are 2 issues that need to be discussed. biggest priority is being tougher and nastier around all topics, especially set pieces. Second issue is officials which was undeniable in this game.
