    Only watched the last 30 mins but it was what I expected. The majority of big PL games this season have been sh!t & Mourinho wasn't going to go for it which Lampard knew so they cancelled each other out by not going for it.

    Chelsea have Leeds next week and Spurs have Arsenal so they will have to approach both with a bit more bravery.

    Don't think they will stay there but do expect Spurs to pick up a trophy this year and finish in the CL places

    They don't have the squad to match Liverpool and City over the duration of the season IMO to mount a real challenge but you never know if they can stay injury free

    3 draws 1 loss, 0 wins in 4 games against top half teams so far this season for Chelsea.

    All their wins against bottom half clubs. It will be interesting to see how they fare out in the next 7-8 weeks where the games are against tougher teams, on paper anyways.

    Denis Smith and Alex Ferguson will be all over this, surely?

    I recall on MUTV there was a clip of Chicarito also using it,

    One person asked was it the word Luis was banned for using, I replied Yes

    No drums being banged

    The answer to your question is no.

    A clash like this makes the requirement for head injury assessment essential. No way Luiz should be on that quickly.

    Jimenez in a terrible way altogether

    I watched the Maradona documentary.
    Deep breath.
    No compromise, no hiding, it's all what you see.
    **** you Manchester United!

    I thought it was strange he was mentioned as black in that documentary

    Jiminez wheeled off on a shaky stretcher is a rare occasion where even the amateur at every level GAA had a better setup of getting a player off a pitch faster and safer today than a PL ground has.

    It was negro. Negrito was brought into the conversation as a “term of endearment” for some reason and people ran with that and seemingly are still running with it.

    i missed that tbh
    I saw another the day before, when Linekar met Maradona
    it was wonderful, Linekar looks into the camera and says "I'm nervous"
    Walks in and Maradona goes, like shouting
    Gary Gary, nice to see you again....no I really mean it


    anyone who thinks Maradona wasn't the greatest, never saw him in his pomp. Fcuking unreal fcukimg majestic fcuking Napoli

    Yep

    And here is the report to prove it. Very odd some continue to run with that

    Also very odd to even bring it up here in the middle of a discussion about the PL games

    Thankfully it is. Strange to see a wheely stretcher, wonder what the deal is with that.

    About to say wolves take the lead, but arsenal equalise

    If people are still challenging the findings that Suarez made racist remarks, maybe they could wear a tee-shirt supporting him?

    As I recall, Liverpool decided that was better than appealing the decision...

    Ye at the time there was all sorts of stuff flying about, something about ice pop to if i recall

    Its clear what Luis intentions where that day and it has no place in football or society, Regardless of what we thoguht might have been said,
    I was one of those who backed Luis wrongly at the time

    Also dont forget us fans where not on the pitch so its only normal to believe what your own team player says over a rival so cant really blame Liverpool pool fans for sticking up for him at the time

    Am I challenging those findings ? The post you quoted is merely another poster on boards.ie describing the word Cavani posted on his Insta today.
