Shane Long will never score. Hopeless.

At least next season we’ll have an attack to rival United. They’ll still have a slightly better defence but still can’t see them winning the league. The Norwegian gollum’s plan to get it to his pacey forwards is a decent plan A and will beat most of the sh*te in the league but hard to see them match City or Liverpool over 38 games with no other tactic.

Liverpool struggle when their full backs get pinned back and then it’s hoof ball to Mane or Salah and hope. It works a lot of the time but not against elite teams. Their away record in Europe is poor and this is another one of those game.

I'm trying to put rivalry aside as this is much bigger issue and tomorrow we might hear Chelsea are doing exactly the same thing so I'm wary of having a go at certain clubs and it is luck of the draw who your club's owners are and their ethics. Ken Bates would probably have had the staff furloughed weeks ago. That said, Liverpool's title (assuming the league is finished), is tainted forever by this and they will no longer be able to sing their sentimental dirge You'll Never Walk Alone with a straight face. Perhaps give the NHS the title instead. It will be interesting to see how player pay cuts will play out now, seeing as they are refusing it. That's all well and good but some clubs are going to soon start running out of cash if they don't, so instead of a 30% cut they might find themselves having to take more.

So it seems ‘we’re Scouse not English’ only applies when they’re not sponging off the UK tax payers’ money. I really hope Chelsea don’t go down this road but it’s a football club so I’m not counting on principal or ethics. Either way, I hope the government is smart enough to recoup this money with interest by applying a huge windfall tax to future the income of these vile clubs on future television income. The way these clubs are acting I am giving less and less of a f**k about football returning.

Not a fan of the idea of playing the remaining games behind closed doors in a short space of time. Surely the only motive for that is pure greed. And it will still leave the final standings with an asterisk next to them. If they are going to finish the season, just wait until it's safe for supporters to return and play as normal even if that's in the autumn or winter. Either that or void the season and just wait as long as it takes to start the new season.

That's an absolute collapse and bottle job from Liverpool there. Like the last few weeks in fact.

Sky was for 20 years a propaganda channel for Man Utd so old habits die hard. I just mute them and get alternative commentary elsewhere. Their coverage always focuses on the most minor of controversies rather than any decent football in order to trigger people. It’s just Talksport with a bigger budget and twats in suits.

At least these results keep the Norwegian Gollum in his job for a while longer. f**king despise the w**kfest over United playing some of the most lucky, turgid football ever seen. They always seem to play teams at the right time like City who clearly only give a f**k about the Madrid game now. I’m not too concerned as we play better football and have better players. Do our job and their luck will eventually run out.

City playing a local derby with all the passion you’d expect from a financially doped team of mercenaries. What annoys me is United are crap, play sh*te football and have refs in their pocket. Still there for the taking if City show some balls.

I’ve finally been at the Bridge to witness us win at home this season so I’m thinking these wins are like London buses right? I watched Everton v Man Utd and thought they deserved the win. Average group of players although Richarlison, Gomes and Calvert-Lewin are decent and a threat. Ancellotti has shown even in his autumn years he’s both tactically and in terms of man management way ahead of a lot of the numpties of the Prem. I’m banking on the dad’s army of Giroud, Pedro and Willian to do the business. With the injuries at least Frank has an easy selection. I’d play Gilmour again after his display against Liverpool. He deserves it.

I was actually yelling shoot. And he did thank god. Great atmosphere at the bridge last night even in the upper west. It was a difference out-singing the away fans for once, who ironically came in more numbers for this game. Lots of plastic scousers who are quieter than their usual lot maybe. I thought they were crap on and off the pitch. Surprisingly soft in the center with Fabinho particularly awful, getting the run around from a 5’5” 18 year old. Scotland spanking Brazil for a change. I felt relaxed watching it, thinking they were sh*t apart from the odd Mane turn or run by Robertson. Everton and Ancelotti will be a much harder test in a strange way. We won’t be able to play on the counter so it will be a tough match especially with the injuries. Fancy us to sneak it though.

Cheerio invincibles. Arsenal fans can still dine out on that one.

If Liverpool don’t go unbeaten from here in the worst Premier League in a long time they’d have bottled it. At least losing at City I could understand. It could be wheels coming off if we knock the out of the cup and Atlético get past them.

With this group of players a point at a relegation threatened side is decent. Shows how far we’ve fallen. So many players need to be bombed out in the summer. Ross Barkley being near the top of this list. Looked like a competition winner against Bayern and again today.

We’re a painfully average side. The worry is we are one with no momentum or confidence. United and the teams below us have much more of both right now. Beating a sh*t Spurs side papered over some mighty cracks.

So a win tomorrow and we can get within 3 of third place. Just shows the league really is crap this year and with VAR, the corona virus and global warming I say it should be annulled with no winner and everyone comes back in August to start again.

Hahaha. f**k off Arsenal. An even more embarrassing club than Spurs.

The only thing to do now is the patriotic thing and hope Liverpool, Spurs and City get knocked out too.

f**k sake now officials are using VAR properly to rub it in. Bleak night.

Not really surprised we have been totally outclassed. Sadly it’s the most average Chelsea team since the 90s. Slow and cumbersome in attack, soft in midfield and disorganised at the back. Just shows all the bullsh*t propaganda about the Prem being the ‘best league in the world’ is bollocks. 3 English teams now in danger of getting their arses handed to them before the quarter finals.

Martin Atkinson putting in a decent performance for United today. Absolutely useless if not corrupt. Awaiting the VAR karma for United that will never come.

I thought at first Mourinho might have changed with the benefit of a break and this being his last chance at the big time but he’s still the bitter, downbeat man he’s been for the last few years. Already he’s undermining his players by basically saying they’re hopeless with the injuries they’ve got and throwing the likes of Alli under bus albeit he probably deserves it. It’s just crap man management. Combined with his negative tactics, Spurs will do nothing with him as a manager. Happy days.

Trying to enjoy the win and not think about the cancer that is VAR and the referees in this country. Finally a big home win and now a bit of confidence going into some of the big cup matches. I would like to see Giroud get more game time and somehow Frank to fit Alonso into the team. He’s useless in almost every way but is often good for a goal or assist and we are in a beggars choosers situation in front of goal right now.

VAR is disgrace once again. Not even a booking for that? I f**king despise referees. Thank god it doesn’t look like it will cost us today. Joke that any criticism of these parasites lands you a fine.
