And, we're off.....2016/17

[Lord Tyrion]

Did Lukaku play today?

He didn't want to injure himself and cost Everton a fortune in his transfer fee 😁. Anyway, as you keep saying he is a flat track bully, he was never going to turn up today.

Mind, you could do with him tomorrow against Watford. Just the sort of team that will turn you bunch of softies over 😂

Just been watching the 2 disputed penalties on SSN.....
Why is Football, the whole game, not completely embarrassed by what is going on..?
It's been going on for years and nothing has been done to stop it.
The Governing body are seemingly ok with it as nothing ever gets done.
People moan, others don't see it - it makes the game an embarrassment...
The whole of football should be ashamed to their bones that this is still happening.
I'm getting closer to not giving a Flyer about football because EVERYONE cheats....

City's pen was a disgrace, no grey area there neither, these type of incidents where it's clear cheating has took place retrospective punishment like in Scotland should definitely be introduced here.

Either way the authorities need to do something about it.

I only asked if he played

I can't think of another "world class striker" who never turns up against the big boys.

Can't think of a big team he hasn't scored against in his career
Also can't think of another striker who scores in every game he plays
You're still obsessing over him though :rofl:

What's with this "world class" tag?

The lad is only 23 and has the potential to become a top striker. Why are you so down on him?

He's obsessed mate, I think he's a closet blue :rofl:

Considering how irrelevant the "Daytripers" will have you believe we are to them, they don't half bang on about us an awful lot.

It deflects from their own issues.

I agree something needs to be done. I didn't realise about the retro action in Scotland until this weekend. I was watching the build up to the old firm and saw they downgraded a red to a yellow for a Celtic player. Unfortunately everyone and their dog agreed it was a Defo red in the first place. I think that big clubs would still get their fair share of dubious decisions whatever ruling is made.

I never seen the game, I've only seen the highlights on MOTD and I didn't see him on the field.

Then I realised who the opponents where and he must've done his Houdini trick

Definitely not obsessed just conscious :ears:

I'm only repeating what I'm reading and hearing. Any footballer that is "valued at £70-100m" must be world class?

I'm not down on him, I just have a view that he never turns up against the big boys, goes missing, and isn't as good as he's made out to be. I'm not letting my dislike of them cloud my judgement.

You'd know all about being obsessed wouldn't yer :ears:

Don't be getting excited dear :thup:

Which big team has he failed to score against in his career?

How convenient Mourinho didn't see the Rashford dive.

Managers never do. Better say nothing than risk a media backlash. Diving is a disgrace across the world. All teams cheat and FIFA turn a blind eye.

To be fair, Jose was most of the way to the tunnel when it happened...👍😂

Looking at the table, its going to be very close finish for 3rd and 4th.. Man city should be OK, you'd think LFC would be favourite fo the other CL spot, but they have been poor against lower half teams and thats all they have left to play.

It's not just about scoring goals, it's the all round performance's.

I'm talking this season but I Don't know, tell me?

Boro needed a win to stand even a slim chance of staying up... doubt it will make much difference, but bad decisions like that can ruin clubs for years. Whether its missing out on a CL spot or being relegated it costs clubs millions.

I can't see the top for changing now.
Maybe City & Liverpool could swap places.
