Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [1st - 3rd January 2019]

[Shamikebab]

Shelvey studs up on Pogba, no card. Mariner is having a laugh.

 

[utajoker]

Ref has been poor today

 

[McBain]

Naughty from Shelvey

 

[Fubsy]

That was utter dirt from Shelvey. That's why he should never get near the England team, he has zero class.

 

[fez]

Always thought this, but Shelvey is absolute scum.

Always has been and hes known for it so refs shouldn't let him get away with it. Mariner has been utterly **** tonight. Can see him costing us the game tonight.

 

[Shamikebab]

Newcastle fans actually booing Pogba, what a classless bunch of *****

 

[WYNIR0]

Easy

 

[Alex h]

Rashford 2 nil

 

[fez]

Matic still looks like a player who is either unfit or needs a few weeks off.

 

[Robbo]

Get inn!

Nice play from Lukaku and Sanchez.

Rashford is just so good lately.

 

[Shamikebab]

2-0, get ****** Newcastle

 

[Shamikebab]

Matic still looks like a player who is either unfit or needs a few weeks off.

I think there is a few tired legs out there, lot of games over xmas and they haven't played this kind of high intensity football under Jose.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Southampton doing Arsenal and United a favour. 6 point gap between 6th and 4th now.

 

[Calpol]

Are you suggesting the players are good enough to play any other brand of football?

I dont see too much of them other than vs United but in the last 2/3 seasons they have been easily one of the poorest sides in the league. Not that United have been much to watch! Compared to say Bournemouth, Watford, Brighton, Wolves they really don't compare favourably. I know we can argue that Rafa hasn't been supported by the owner but is that the whole picture?
The supporters surely deserve better given the traditions of the club yet they appear to be a club that is content to avoid relegation.

 

[fez]

I'm sorry but you can give Lukaku very little credit for that goal. In the 2 minutes leading up to that he lost the ball making bad 3 metre passes and twice in the build up he passed a yard behind or away from the guy he was aiming for when it was a pass a 5 year old should be able to make easily. This is the problem with him. He just ruins 90% of our build up when hes being asked to take part in anything other than putting the ball in the net.

 

[Fubsy]

Will there be a clean sheet...

 

[Kenai]

A point away at Chelsea, happy enough with that given where we are these days

 

[McBain]

Another good performance from Rashford hope he gets a lengthy run in the team up top.

 

[BaZ87]

A point away at Chelsea, happy enough with that given where we are these days

Surely that's a good result at any time for Southampton?

The bottom of the table's looking incredibly tight at the moment. Huddersfield look gone but then there's 2 from 5 - I just hope Burnley are one of them.

 

[fez]

What do we reckon, 5 minutes stoppage?

Only player tonight who has been good for Newcastle is Atsu, rest of them can **** off.
