I think this was just Utd drawing blanks as they have done for the majority of the season. 3 points that should have been gotten really...

Remember Cruijff saying that being a man up when you dominate the game and have to score can turn into a disadvantage. He even considered taking a man off to play 10 vs 11 when he needed his team to score but you can't really do it without turning the players against you.

Johan was a brilliant man, bless his soul but you think that theory applies to Bournemouth? Not exactly the best defense out here.

of course it does to you, take off the Liverpool goggles you clown

btw we don't even deserve to win this game, have created little in the way of LEGIT chances and they've had 10 men for half the match

ok then that clip is misleading. I have to watch the video just to be sure. Hans usually has very unbiased opinion about such incidents. I would like to know what he thinks. But as of now, I am dead sure, it seems completely accidental to me.

No of course United should destroy a team like Bournemouth at home in any case. Doesn't matter if they have one man more or less. As said it was a pathetic performance and they looked like they didn't care about winning the game. Just wanted to point out that having a man more is not always the major advantage people make it out to be as it mostly helps dominating the game.

unbeaten in about 6 months, still 6th

:bow:

dropped far too many points to fodder this season

I think we have to play every team above us besides Liverpool, make or break but I expect to lose at least 1-2 of the 5

by Firenze Sat Mar 04, 2017 2:52 pm

Just have to hope Pool and Arsenal draw so this weekend is basically void. Still a game in hand on Pool. City have 2 games this week so should be able to cement 2nd place. I am expecting Spurs to drop points to Everton.

Watford 1 - 0 Southampton. Deeney.

Swansea 1 - 0 Burnley. Llorente.

Leicester 0 - 1 Hull. Clucas.

by Firenze Sat Mar 04, 2017 3:21 pm

sounds like another unreal bad ref decision

Burnley player handballs it in oppostion box and they get a penalty for it

bring back ClattenGOAT

Sounds like another game where superhuman goalkeeping has killed us. Ffs what's up with EPL goalkeepers turning up in Buffon mode when they play United?!

Brother S, I knew you would come.

Fear not, The League Of The Mule is OBSOLETE for us. We will gain qualification to the League of Champions by winning the LEAGUE OF EUROPA. The focus now is the NEW treble. We will DELETE the Boys Of Rent and go on to win the Cup Of The Football Association to complete the triumvirate of trophies!

And then after The Lady Of Advanced Age wins the League Of Champions, the Family Of Jjunited will have acquired the KEYS TO THE KINGDOM when we are together in the Super Cup Of The Continent Of Europe.

DELIGHTFUL

my sides at this Arsenal team

Ozil sick, Sanchez on the bench

I hope they can get a draw but I see nothing but a Liverpool win

3-0 IMO

Llorente wins it for Swansea in the dying minutes

by Firenze Sat Mar 04, 2017 4:51 pm

Swansea looked certain to go down, now up to 15th

by nasir6371 Sat Mar 04, 2017 5:07 pm

Ozil out which is a good thing for Arsenal's chances but benching Sanchez :facepalm:

Wenger final starts Welbeck but drops Sanchez, while Iwobi has not done anything in months but still starting week in and week out. Sack this fraud POS already Blud!!!!!!!!!!!!

by Firenze Sat Mar 04, 2017 5:10 pm

no idea why he insists on Iwobi and Coq starting when they wouldn't start for the likes of Stoke or Palace

they're both unbelievably shite

Liverpool will ruin them today smh, hope they can get lucky like usual this season and nick a draw
