PL fixtures & FA Cup Semifinals Apr 22-27

Apparently the first time in 14 matches that Big Sam has won at Anfield.

Great timing.
 
Liverpool managed one shot on target ALL game (the Coutinho FK).

What's your excuse Jurgen?

In the words of Neil Buchanan, here's some we prepared earlier:



:lol:
"Crystal Palace had our best defender in the stands"
 
The stars have aligned - Best weekend I can remember results wise for years... Oh and this

what on earth was Can thinking for Benteke's second?

His brain works on a three second delay. The ball was already in goal, when the correct defensive information was processed.
 
:lol: Crystal Palace's dressing room music booming thru Klopp's post match interview.
 
How the actual feck have we managed to get ourselves back in with a shout of getting top 4 again? Honestly, I gave up on it about 2 weeks ago and was hoping for Europa League success instead. If we get in the top 4, win the Europa league to go with the League cup, what a season we've had. Seriously, Jose's outdone himself if that happens.

It's mental, it really is. After all those draws, all those chances wasted, all those horrific results, we're still somehow 1 point behind 4th.
 
Probably the best weekend results-wise for some time now. Absolutely buzzing.
 
Just seen Emre Can effort :lol:

He was in ten yards out and put it out for a throw in. :lol:
 
Towards the end of a season you're better off playing more than once every 7-10 days, especially if you're trying to get over a couple of defeats!

Well this week you are. In general I'd say Chelsea has benefited from an easy fixture list.
 
I see on Blue Moon a lot of moaning about the result yesterday.

Obviously, the 'disallowed goal' which hadn't after all gone out but given it was in by only a centimetre or so, you can hardly blame the Lino for not giving it.

But here's the thing. They believe the ref was unduly lenient towards an Arsenal team that was thuggish in its approach putting both Silva and Aguero out of the game. From what I saw on TV I didn't think Gabriel's tackle on Silva was anything but a bit clumsy, hardly malicious and similarly Koscielny on Aguero. What do you lot think? Was Arsenal brutally physical yesterday? I couldn't see it to be honest. And Arsenal, physical? Really, since when?

I mean fair play to Arsenal, I've never seen them so up for a game and they out fought City.

Maybe it's just Blue Moon sour grapes.
 
I didn't want to post yesterday, I was far too angry at Craig Pawson and his team. Arsenal systematically kicked us off the pitch for 45 minutes. We lost Silva, Fernandinho and Aguero to injury because of this. We had a higher yellow card count than Arsenal which beggars belief.

Aguero scored, and it was ruled out. The ball clearly stayed in play and if he isn't certain, he cannot call that out. This is the same linesman that walked into De Bruyne as he was taking a corner. Seriously? This is what we get for an FA Cup Semi Final? It's a shambles.

Both sides should have had a penalty too. Aguero had his heel clipped and Navas dragged down Alexis. The officials were centre stage as per usual for this country. I'm tired of it.
 
It's quite an achievement to get kicked off the pitch by Arsenal of all teams. City have more than enough nasty players to fight back.

Like I said, we ended the game with more yellow cards than they did. How are we supposed to kick back if we're operating on different standards of punishment? We'd have finished with nine men.

Didn't see the whole game, so can't comment on the ref's performance. Kicked off the park by Arsenal just sounds incredibly soft.
 
What the feck is that "mmmm-mmmm" thing Sky Sports have when going to and coming back from the adverts. It's ridiculous.

Asking the important questions. But genuinely I sat there yesterday thinking the same thing? Is it new or have I only just picked up on this.
 
That's how City fans (and Yaya) seem to feel, that refs robbed them.

I know they do think that, but it sounds more to me like a post hoc rationalisation of the fact they were outfought (unusually by Arsenal) by a team who wanted it more.

The last 15 minutes of the second half, City looked dead on their feet and when they did get the ball seemed content to get to extra time and didn't really push on. Maybe some of their players are just too old.

:wenger: not the game I watched.

It's taken from the song "Higher" by Sigma, Sky Sports Super Sunday's new theme song. I bet you guys never watched Super Sunday from the very beginning to see the new opening since 2015.

Considering I live in Spain, no, I don't watch Sky Sports. They must spend too much money on the rights to games and be unable to afford a decent theme.
 
What do you think of Pep's first season?

To be honest I'm disappointed. I can't deny that. He was brought in to play a certain style and he's refused to adapt to the obviously inferior playing staff at his disposal.

I can't wait for the summer. I know a lot will be said about Pep needing to 'spend for success' but seriously, we played Clichy in that loss yesterday and he was in the 2004 Arsenal Invincibles. It's 2017.

He needs time. What he hopes to achieve in the last two years of his contract, I'm really not sure.

Lucky you weren't burnt at the stake for going against the hive mind.

What brought you to a Man Utd forum of all places? Just curious :)

Weirdly it actually feels quite neutral to me. Sure there is a massive red membership but it's a big enough site to have many different members from teams all over.
 
Arsenal play soft=typical Arsenal being pussy when it matters.
Arsenal finally play hard=they are thugs

:rolleyes:
