Pep will be fuming.

Pep will be fuming.

Shame

Watching my TV, currently a long way away in the USA I can hardly see it (cough) Man City are throwing it away. They again have been crap 2nd half

Not really, player just collapses, most of the time game gets abandoned.

Fair enough, just remembering the most recent high profile ones Lockyer in the play offs, Eriksen in the Euros. I guess more riding on those and difficult to do on another day.

Without undermining the seriousness of the situation at Bournemouth, I hope my bet is refunded as game abandoned

O dear pep

Guess that was more time restricted

Bad feeling about the palace game. They are just the type of dire defensive team we struggle against. They've got injuries back as well.

Xmas presents handed out early in Manchester this afternoon. What an astonishingly lucky point for Palace and frankly shocking that VAR did not rule the penalty out for a soft challenge by Mateta.

UEFA basically threatened Denmark with a 3-0 loss if they didn't agree to complete the game either that evening or the next day at noon. Players said deciding to finish the game that evening was the least bad option they had.

As night follows day.

Credit to Palace, didn’t give up. Aren’t their fans supposed to be very calm and collected when celebrating equalizing goals though?

As usual all their injuries suddenly clear up before us.

Oh well with today - its only a point - it’s still 9 points and we’ve had 4 extra Europe wins and 6 extra games ffs

Keeps Roy in a job for a while longer, so I'm OK with that.

I used to work in a bookies and about 30 years ago one of the punters collapsed at the counter and I kid you not someone stepped over him to get a 50p RFC on for the 2:18 at Hackney.
Funny what jogs the memory.

 

[TomandJerry]

Luton Town boss Rob Edwards is in tears as he walks around the pitch.

He says "thank you" to the fans, taps his chest and encourages them to keep singing for Tom Lockyer before heading down the tunnel.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Burnley v Everton next.

Time was this would have been an abysmal game of turgid, soul-sucking football. Burnley's regeneration should at least mean it's a bit more open and there will be changes, though I suspect most of them will come from Everton hitting them on the break.

We are gonna have to give 110% in that game ... gonna be a slog. They had 4 touches in the man city box and scored 2 sounds so familiar. On the plus side they surely can't skank 2 games in a row.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Something isn't right at City, maybe the 114 charges are looking more realistic now

 

[TomandJerry]

Man City fans are booing !
