The Football.....

Accy been on a long term good run now and after the horrible start.

I watched the derby, Liverpool were the better team but the scorline didn't reflect the game, 61% possession to the blues! Everton gifted them 3 goals and certainly contributed to a very entertaining game. I think it would have been much closer if Coleman, Distin and Lukaku had played the full game. Great game to watch.

You didn't watch the Derby, did you? 'The scoreline didn't reflect the game'? Only because it should have been 7-0 but Coleman and Distin didn't play any part, never mind 'the full game' and they weren't even on the bench. And if Johnson, Enrique and Lucas had 'played the full game', the victory would have been much wider. Lucky Evertonil. And possession means absolutely nothing when it's only goals that count and Liverpool got 4 while Evertonil were lucky to get nil.

Still, to soften the blow, Evertonil are going to allow fans in to Woodison at the next game four nothing.

You have misread/misinterpreted my comments about Distin, Coleman and Lukaku and got all muddled up. I stand by what is said, that the scoreline didn't reflect the game, I did say that Liverpool were better. Coleman's replacement was a bag of nerves and Alcaraz had a nightmare, Naismith was not going to replace Lukaku was he? Goals 2, 3 and 4 were gifted.

Goals 2, 3 and 4 were gifted.

Goals 2, 3 and 4 had to be scored. And were. All required vision, skill and ability, not being 'gifted'. Goal 5 was conceded as it would have cast further embarrassment on Evertonil. If the scoreline didn't reflect the game, it was only because it flattered Evertonil. Alcatraz was let out of jail (IGMC).

I don't care about either team, but I did really enjoy it, I would not have if it had been as one sided as the scoreline suggests.

Must be me. I watched another very entertaining game, but the papers said Spurs got spanked, I thought they were very good v Man City whilst they had 11 players.

Anyway.......down in L1 here we have 2 sendings off for, according to the ref a certain Mr Atttwell (for it was he) "serious violent conduct". 24 seconds in.

Apparently Mourinho doesn't like other teams defending. The guy, who when managing Inter said "We didn't park the bus, we parked the airplane".

I remember when at Inter, in the Champions League semi final playing Barca ( I think ) Mourinho's team gave one of the best & well organised defensive games I've ever seen.

agreed, me too
Success from the back - teams built on defence...just like when we won the rugby world cup
Loved Big Sam's reaction when he laughed at Morinhos comments

Meanwhile back at Leeds:
''In an interview with the Sporting Intelligence website late on Friday, Cellino, the 57-year-old owner of Italian Serie A side Cagliari, said he had "no choice" but to sack McDermott. "I want a coach for the club, not a manager," he said.''

''No choice'' and ''I want''?

Looks like reports of his demise have been exaggerated

Liverpool should have shut the door on them today but put in a weird display, god knows what Toure was doing. Can't write 'em off just yet, still a four team race for 4th..

 

[dellzeqq]

Wowser!

There can only be one explanation. Mourinho is a genius. A week ago Manchester City were going to stroll to the title. Not now.........
