It's your usual go to emoji.

I've said my piece about last night's game and so have you, I really can't be ersed going back and forth about it.

[Sir David Gray]

Mate, I'm an Evertonian and believe me when I say that a Liverpool league win was not what I wanted but that is some clutching at straws you are doing. Both Liverpool and City have been great to watch but Liverpool were the better team over the season by some distance. I think their 20 point margin will be at least an equal psychology edge than losing one game

My tongue may have been firmly in my cheek for the benefit of another poster of the red persuasion of the city who's been known to drop into this thread every now and again. :greengrin

Ah, I see. I feel in that case that The firm Everton have been showing will be a huge psychology advantage over everyone for next season!!

[Scouse Hibee]

Yep totally agree. I feel that will give Manchester City a psychological boost and perhaps even a psychological edge over Liverpool ahead of next season.

They'll know where to hurt them, other clubs will have watched last night's game too.

Big opportunity missed last night for the Scousers, I feel.

😂 Stop slavering yer pish, I know you’re hurting but it’s getting ridiculous.😉 👍

Ah there you are, I was wondering where you were. :greengrin

Not hurting at all my friend, if Liverpool's going to win the title once every 30 years I'm sure I can live with that.

Watching Fleetwood Wycombe in the play off semi.

John souttar's brother plays for fleetwood. He's a big unit....though they're getting beat 1-4.
Joey barton is fleetwood manager, so nice to see them getting beat.

In fairness, top marks for the Fleetwood fans who have a posse of mannequins behind the goal!

Last minute equaliser for Derby against Nottingham Forest - 1-1.

Great turnaround from United going into half time. They are frightening on the attack.

Mason Greenwood is some talent for an 18yr old, so many attacking options, Vidic coming back allows them to play this way.

[Northernhibee]

Really pleased for Ole - hope that the club stick with him for a while. He's building a good team and for the first time in years they're playing with a proper identity.

There's a lot of mistakes to undo before they can challenge for a title again but a competitive Man Utd team is good for the Premier League.

[MWHIBBIES]

Amazing what a difference Pogba and Fernandes have made. Both unbelievable players.

It’s only Bournemouth... but United are building something here.

Yes I do haha, sat and watched the whole game and still got his name wrong, knew it ended in "ic"

[Keyser Sauzee]

Had no idea Arsenal had signed Cedric from Southampton, really good signing he always impressed when I seen him with Southampton. Arteta looks to be building a decent squad.

[norhfc]

Really impressed with Greenwood, left and right for his two goals hit with some power. 18 year old and he looks like he,s just having a kick about with his mates, the boys got a bright future.

[Tambo]

Luiz on a yellow lol defenfitly will be sent off.

[MWHIBBIES]

Wonderful goal by Saka just before HT. Arsenal 1-0 up .

[Mibbes Aye]

I think Cedric only made his debut the game before this and scored a screamer.

Fascinated by this Arsenal squad under Arteta, for next season. They are brimming with young talent - Tierney, Nketieh, Willock, Saka, Nelson and the newly-arriving Saliba.

Hanging on, or adequately replacing Aubameyang is critical, his scoring rate is sensational. And he replicates that drift to the left that Thierry aHenry was the master of.

I think they still need a solid centre half, especially if playing four, though three suits Luiz. Mustafi is simply too risky.

Centre mid, I suspect they will keep Cabellos if he wants to stay in London. Real Madrid will have other options and be open to a sale. Lucas Torreira really impressed. Xhaka I can never make my mind up about - sometimes I think he is a League-winning player, other times I think he is meh.

On the right Bellerin seems to be back from his injury woes, with Maitland Nile’s offering back up and another option in midfield.

If this is the system Arteta wants to go with then I think he has to replace all 3 Centre half’s, they are all too prone to mistakes. Tying down Aubameyang is a must aswell.

[Mibbes Aye]

If this is the system Arteta wants to go with then I think he has to replace all 3 Centre half’s, they are all too prone to mistakes. Tying down Aubameyang is a must aswell.

I think the fact that Aubameyang clearly works so well with Lacazette makes it a no-brainer. They are both capable of playing at the business end of Champions League football, but I guess Arsenal have to match that.

If Arsenal go with three at the back then it plays to the strengths of Tierney and Bellerin. I think Luiz can play a role as the advancing centre half but I would want more reassurance about the other two. I think Rob Holding has yet to show whether he can grow into the role. I want to like Sokratis and he has shown up well at times, but I am not certain. Mustafi scares me but can pop up at set pieces for a goal.

Regardless, Arsenal are a team where the expectation is a bare minimum of being top four, should be challenging for the title and should be challenging for the CL. That has not been the case for a while now and a central defence of Mustafi, Holding and Sokratis simply doesn’t cut the mustard

[660]

I can’t wait to see who spends the most money. Truly scintillating stuff

[MWHIBBIES]

Very nice 2nd goal for Arsenal. Lacazette.

Arsenal are not as bad as the media will have you believe. The EPL is unbelievably competitive and it shows in Arsenal’s results away from home.

There are undoubted clangers to be had at the back but if they take this next window seriously enough it could be easily rectified.

Saliba might be a good start. Arteta seems to know what he is doing. The question is do the Arsenal boardroom know what they are doing? Above Edu it’s a bit of a shambles... but again it’s only going by what the media tell you.

And right now it’s fashionable to stick the boot into Arsenal if you’re in the Media.

Easy to say but Wolves were the only side that had won all games since the restart, Arsenal made them look very ordinary.

I don’t think he’s been great for Scotland, but the little I’ve seen of McBurnie for Shef Utd and he’s actually a better player than I previously thought IMO.

[Keyser Sauzee]

I don’t think he’s been great for Scotland, but the little I’ve seen of McBurnie for Shef Utd and he’s actually a better player than I previously thought IMO.

I don’t think he’s anywhere near as bad as some people will have u believe but he should have done far better with his early opportunity today and he’s also cost his team a goal. Not having a great day so far.

[H18 SFR]

McGinn continues to look like he’s towing a caravan after injury.

I wonder if he is seriously playing whilst in pain or 50/60% fit.

It looks like it’s between them and Watford. From what I’ve seen Watford are a worse team.

[Sir David Gray]

What a goal for Southampton!

[Keyser Sauzee]

Great finish from Adams. That’s 3 times goals like that have been scored against Man City, Salah, McTominay and now Adams. I understand why Pep wants the keepers to be good with the ball at their feet but why does Ederson stand so far out his goals?

[Lago]

What a goal for Southampton!
Reminds me of Chic Charnley against Celtic 😉

[The 90+2]

How on earth did City not score 😁 incredible attacking play.

[Sir David Gray]

I've got to laugh at how much of an effort is put into everyone not shaking hands with each other but apparently cuddles and placing your hands over someone's face to embrace at the end is somehow perfectly fine! :greengrin

[The 90+2]

Barca Villarreal great game so far 2-1.

[MWHIBBIES]

Strange too see City coming crashing back to earth after their MASSIVE victory over Liverpool. 9 defeats for Peps 700 million pound squad. Very poor.

Think it’s through a grandparent. Would be promising for the National side if he chooses us, I don’t think he’ll be near England set up anytime soon.

[Sir David Gray]

He is, his grandparent is/was Scottish.

Scotland sounded him out a few years ago but he didn't want to commit.

[Robbo6-2]

Harvey Barnes is the same?

He is probably closer to England set up than Adams tbh

[JimBHibees]

Has struggled a bit since coming back from broken ankle but thought he was better today and battled well and will benefit from the 90. Villa have so many poor players and not sure where a goal is coming from and imo two enormous egos in Grealish and Mings both of which aren't as good as they think they are and not really team players.

It's slightly different this year due to the circumstances but he's ineligible because he's had 2 loan deals this season.

Just turned the Chelsea game on, how’s Gilmour played tonight?

Watching Watford v Norwich, you can see exactly why both are near the bottom, Watford really miss Deulofeu and Norwich would be even worse if they didn't have Buendia who's a bit of class.

Danny Welbeck's goal for Watford was a bit special. Worth watching on the highlights or if it is available on YouTube.

I've always liked Welbeck but he has had awful luck with injuries over the years

Leicester really are a sorry looking side right now. They have some quality players, but look utterly hopeless. Arsenal could be 3 up by now.

He was good in the last couple of games and is good tonight. Ceballos seems to be finding his natural position too. Bellerin being back is positive, though a bit unfortunate for Maitland-Niles' development

No idea TBH! I always found him likeable and his scoring rate for England exceeded that at club level, but he contributed a lot in that area between midfield and up front at Arsenal. Hard player to describe, there are shades of Darren Jackson when he was with us, in his style of play. Still in his twenties I believe.

Seen this story at ER many times early part of the season. Arsenal went far too defensive too quickly not even trying to retain the ball.

No danger. The Man Utd player causes the contact and stands on the Villa player.

All he is at the moment is a player toiling to find his form in a struggling team. Not a hope of any big move, hopefully he'll be back to his best in the Championship. Surely Villa can't survive the drop.

[Andy74]

I'd have given it.

A little harsh but certainly clumsy. Puts one foot in then his left leg also comes in whilst turning his back to the challenge.

[Hiber-nation]

Mings at the 2nd goal....that's embarrassing really. Villa can't score goals and if they can't be bothered defending then they deserve all they get.

[Brightside]

Villa are just lazy now. Just need to hope McGinn gets a decent move. I;ve never thought he would be a Man U player but he is deffo at top half of the table player.

Villa absolutely awful again.

They just seem to have zero fight or desire.

Their defending for the 2nd and 3rd goals was embarrassing...as is their general work rate and attitude.

Really odd for a team that’s meant to be fighting for their lives in the league.

Well done on your away win last night by the way, did you remember what it felt like? :wink:

If the season had started in June 😂


Remember last season when we lost by one point and were accused of bottling it. 23 points says City bottled it big style and the rest are just there to make up the numbers. 😁

[Scouse Hibee]

United looking a good bet to make the top four next season, the youngsters are doing well.

Sorry pal I thought they looked good enough for top four next season but if you disagree that’s fine surely you agree they’ll make the top six then?

[weecounty hibby]

Cant see anything other than relegation for Villa. They are brutal. No goals in the team, can't keep goals out, just look devoid of ideas, drive or energy. Almost as if they have accepted their fate

[JimBHibees]

Agree, we thought it was a foul to Villa. Fernandez jumps into the defender!

Fernandez is a shocking diver. Man U have had the most penalties ever this season.

Grealish captain sums up Villa thinks he is better than he is and the heart of a mouse doesn't say much for Smith to allow him the latitude he gets.never a leader in a million years.. Mings ain't much better. John looks to be struggling physically after his ankle break.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

If someone like Everton come in for him he will be away in a shot....same for Grelish.

Grealish isn't exactly selling himself on this performance.

[RyeSloan]

The addition of Fernandes seems to have revolutionised the team...all of a sudden they have the right players in the right positions.

Also helps when you have Greenwood in the side! That boy can finish for fun and seems to hit the ball like a rocket every time!!!

Couple of players brought in and United will be putting in a decent title challenge pal.

[MWHIBBIES]

Dunno why some feel the need to put Grealish down to bring McGinn up. Both excellent players. Grealish will be moving for big cash this summer and he has certainly earned it.

Nothing to do with John but Grealish has been appalling for Villa recently and as for captain dear oh dear. Truly overrated.

[MWHIBBIES]

Class is permanent, though. He is a quality player and his suitors know it.

Its been happening for 2 years on here, folk putting him down for bum up McGinn. Its strange.

[Lago]

Grealish isn't exactly selling himself on this performance.
He's certainly not lived up to expectations, but then the Villa team as a whole has been poor & 1 player can't carry them all.

[Sir David Gray]

😂

We'll see!

United's front three are forming into a great front line and improving all the time. Not as good as Liverpool's front three yet but give it time - they're much younger than Liverpool's trio for a start.

With Fernandes pulling the strings in the middle, United finally look like a proper side again and the mind numbing football they have been renowned for over the past few years is becoming a thing of the past.

Only a matter of time before number 21 happens. 😁

[Garibaldis]

Watching MOTD and how VAR didn't give a penalty for the push on Kane is beyond me.

[JimBHibees]

Class is permanent, though. He is a quality player and his suitors know it.

Or he isn't as good as he is rated. Swans about and produces very little in the games I have seen. Admittedly in a very poor team but he has been really poor.

Miles away from the big boys at the top, top four will be fantastic for you 😁

[J-C]

Amazing to think 6 of this Spurs team started the champions league final just 12 months ago, with another 2 part of the run to the final. They look to be on Bournemouth’s level.


The Jose Mourinho effect, only manager capable of taking a good team and making them sh ite.

[J-C]

I thought he was OK up to getting injured mate.

He can play at this level I reckon but £50m / Man Utd of 6 months ago is fantasy stuff.


Unfortunately the manager isn't utilising McGinn, he's being played on the right and being asked to play as a DM. He was more of a B2B in the championship and was a stand out, was very good early season but it's been hard due to Villa's collapse in form, every game is a struggle.

Never adapted their game against other teams, played some nice attractive stuff to get promoted but not clever enough to strengthen the squad or adapt. See the difference in West Ham, fought hard and have a good few solid decent pros.

[Iggy Pope]

Another win for Brentford and they played some lovely football.

i'm not sure of the figure but i think they forked out very little in transfer fees after promotion last season, i really don't know what bournemouth bring to that top league either

These teams are perennial yoyo teams, Bournemouth only has just over 11,329 capacity which TBH is brutal and shows the tv money makes a mockery of the game down there.

Great header from Robbo 1-0 Liverpool

[Garibaldis]

Neco Williams has put in a good shift for Liverpool. Ryan Giggs must be rubbing his hands with the amount of young talent coming through fron Wales.

Fantastic finish. 1-1.

Booooooooom.

That’s some delayed reaction to Robbo’s header pal do try to keep up.

[ekhibee]

Or he isn't as good as he is rated. Swans about and produces very little in the games I have seen. Admittedly in a very poor team but he has been really poor.

All about opinions obviously. Whenever I saw him before the league was stopped I thought he was really good, including a couple of times when he clearly should have got penalties. Not seen him since the league's started up again though.

[Sir David Gray]

Have you found out that Burnley equalised yet? :greengrin

[Sir David Gray]

Yep his last goal at Anfield was in April last year, his last league goal at Anfield was in March last year.

[HH81]

Burnley were excellent. Liverpool in 5th gear.

Imagine little Burnley showing the premiership
bigboys Man City, Chelsea, Leicester, Wolves, Arsenal and spurs how to get a result at Liverpool.

[Keyser Sauzee]

Great header from McBurnie, folk are having a laugh claiming he’s not good enough for Scotland.

No it’s not, scored at Anfield in March in the CL.

He’s far more important to the team than just a goal scorer, he’s different class in his position and a player we miss when he’s not on the pitch.

Firmino is brilliant. His link and hold up play is as good as anyone in the game at the moment and his work rate to pressure centre halfs and deep lying midfielders is part of Liverpool's success.

Yep clearly one of the best attacking players in the league. Superb player

[StevesFamau5]

Meanwhile in Germany today.

Ingolstadt.. 2-0 down in the relegation playoff first leg to Nurenburg. They are winning 3-0 in the second leg. They concede a 90+6 minute goal to be relegated on away goals.

Sickener....

They have a brilliant front 3 as do Man City, it's not all about how many they score but scoring enough to continually win all the time.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Hat trick for Sterling but he knew nothing about that one. 😆

[renato]

Atalanta winning 1-2 at Juve, 5 mins to go. They’re on a crazy run, about to go 6 points behind Juve. Great outside bet (E/W) for the CL too. Got great odds for that and Serie A.

[renato]

This handball rule is outrageous, Juve with 2 penalties, both would never have been given in past seasons. Ronald equalises from the spot again. Shambles

[hibsbollah]

Could be a big goal for Villa, 1-0 at HT vs Palace.
Sadly it’s Vicky Sparks on the five live commentary, she’s chronic.

Villa have Everton away, Arsenal at home and West Ham away.

Watford have West Ham away, Man City away, Arsenal at home.

I think villa lose all three of those games, they’re down.

West ham also have Watford home, man it's away and Villa home....the only way villa are staying up is winning both Everton away and Arsenal at home....leaving a very interesting last game potentially. However I can't see it. Id say villa are almost definitely down now.

The extra income may have been welcomed in these tougher times. Not sure how important these competitions are to the players ambitions.

Watching these EPL games, do they make summer football more attractive, or do we stick with November (winter) rain?

Two goals, a penalty kick, two goalie howlers and a red card in the space of two minutes to see Leicester go from 1-0 up to 2-1 down. Madness.

3rd placing looking in the bag - Ole's at the wheel!

Got slaughtered on here earlier in the season for saying Leicester are an average side who were in good form. Last 10 games, 11 points, 14th in the form table. I think they've been found out a bit.

Starting to look very much like 3rd place for United... and maybe a trophy or two to go with it
