Sunday afternoon games

[dylanisabaddog 6,149]

Watford v Blackburn 12.00

Jamal is out with a thigh injury 

Sheffield United v Man City 2.00

Newcastle v Liverpool 4.30

Just switched on to see a Watford player smack a wonderful shot against the crossbar. 

I've decided against watching the slaughter at 2.00. The dogs will need a Sunday stroll. 

MOTD is definitely 4.30 but I'm in a quandary as I want both teams to lose

Watford v Blackburn is a hard slog, don't see these 2 troubling the top 6 come the business end of the season.

Having said that,  what a finish that was

[ricardo 8,041]

Watford all over them but can't  score.

"Kompany's Burnley" getting found out in a higher division? 2 down to villa.

“Best championship side ever”?

just reminds me of that melancholy you get after getting promoted to the premier league.

Its truly the journey, not the destination that matters in life.

The statistics in the Sheffield Utd v Man City game tell a story, I can tell you! 

[cambridgeshire canary 7,804]

Haaland scores. Who could have seen it coming?

[Ken Hairy 4,272]

Sign of a quality striker right there, most strikers having the afternoon he's had would have let their heads drop, not Haaland.

Would have been an injustice had City not scored, not sure I've seen a more 1 sided match.

Does this look like the face of a man who gives up?

Yeah a bit like we did - so hard for clubs getting promoted unless got the multi billionaire behind you

The Premier League hasn't been a genuine competition since its inception. I don't see Sheff U, Luton and Burnley racking up many points. They are in a mini league with Bournemouth, Wolves, Everton and Nottingham Forest. What's the survival total this season? 30pts?

Glad Burnley got a beating....incredibly smug and full of themselves

Hope Sheff Utd beat Derby's lowest points record..

To be fair Man City were late to the ground

Got home in time to see the Man City winner. The left back will remember that forever

I always thought that was Ian walker...

Liverpool lion up against it 1-0 down and Virgil harshly sent off - I’d definitely not be happy with that decision if it was us.

[The Real Buh 3,765]

This Liverpool-Newcastle game is hilarious I’m loving it!

Mate, it couldn’t have more clearly been a last man red card

Looked like he clearly played  the ball.

[FenwayFrank 2,717]

I think there's a case for players that abuse the officials like Van Dijk has just done getting an extra games ban

Precisely - clearly got the ball, if anyone insisted it was a foul it should be yellow.

Really ? I thought was blatant, played straight through Isaak before touching the ball

Promoted clubs all struggling from the start this year...

As for Liverpool, I can cry no tears for the var masters.

If that’s a Norwich player that’s an extra 2/3 games added on for sure.

Agreed.

I’d be hugely pissed off if our player was red carded for that.  It’s Liverpool so I don’t really care (other than for the spectacle of the game)

Denying a clear and obvious goal scoring opportunity, clear red , not been the same player since he came back from the acl injury.which is why there has to be concerns for Hanley.
