What Liverpool 3-1 West Ham? Yes very disappointing. My nephew made his debut at Anfield today. I’ve passed the baton over to him, so many times I’ve been up there and seen us lose. I’ve done my time.

Come on Liverpool! Going down to 9 men against the shits? I just knew I was going to be disappointed with this game.

We were absolutely robbed. Jones’ red card was debatable, to say the least, and the Diaz goal should have stood. There’s even been an official apology, not that it’ll give us our three points back.

WOW!

Ended two very long very bad losing streaks so far this year! So relieved to get those 3 points.

Glad Arsenal beat the cheaters today.

However, City should have been down to ten men after
Kovavic’s two reckless challenges in the first half.

Gonna be funny if Harry Kane’s curse extends to Bayern not winning the Bundesliga title this season, already amusing that Guirassy, a striker from Stuttgart, is the leading scorer for the Bundesliga instead of Kane

What was impressive to me were two things in the match. First we made City go low block on defense. I can't recall ever seeing them do that in a match in the PL or in the CL. And that was without Saka playing our best player was watching and they still went low block on us. Secondly they have 4 shots on goal. Just 4, lowest shot total since 2010. Thirteen years you have to go back to that bad of a performance.

Our CB duo absolutely bossed Harland he was virtually non existent, none of those 4 shots were him. Now next time when we play them in the Etihad he'll likely put 3 or 4 in the net on us because I'm saying this. But this weekend he was stuck in Saliba's back pocket.

He is no Lewandowski but it's early still.

I'm so damned tired of atrocious officiating. Cost us so many points the last few years. Ball was out of bounds. Guy that recieved the ball after it being out of bounds was pushed with 2 hands in the back. Guy who then kicked the ball in was off sides. Fuck off PGMOL and your shit crew.

Man City have 115 charges, and have been cooking the books for far longer than Everton, so anything less than a 1150-point deduction would be unfair.

They do have that many charges but I was listening to somebody with I'm hoping more knowledge than me of the situation but a lot of them aren't the financial charges they're other club related stuff. The big impactful charges count was 50. Also I don't know that Everton cooked the books as much as they were just run terribly. They signed players to more money than they should have anticipating Champions League income that didn't happen so their revenues were lower. They broke the rules but it was more to me about bad management.

Everton’s actions were not as innocuous as you think.
