3-3 now and it's not even half time. If this isn't first on MOTD idk what to say

All cued for a dull second half then?

 

[andrew bell]

5live don't seem to be covering any games tonight? Seems odd given there are 4 PL games. Should be able to get tonight's game on WM though

It's down to broadcast rights. AFAIK when there is a full set of PL fixtures in midweek 5 live are not allowed to broadcast any matches in full

Yet yesterday they broadcast both the Manchester United v Cardiff and Southampton v Arsenal (the latter on sports extra) in full.

Gary Linekar has just tweeted

"Appalling decision against Danny Rose. Terrifically timed tackle given as a penalty and red card."

Any guesses for all we will hear about on MOTD this evening.

That was bostin . Must watch MOTD now. I can see us being well down the running order though, the Midlands is region non grata for national media

West Ham got a draw too by the looks of things by parking the bus it would seem. You will recall this is the same tactic Chelsea used when playing Barcelona in the CL final - I wonder what Mourhino will make of it...

Five different scorers for Man City including Jovetic.

In the 0-0 between Chelsea and West Ham. Chelsea had 39 attempts on goal to West Ham's 1.

West ham have the joint highest number of clean sheets (with arsenal) in the league this season. Suggests they just need some goals and they'll get clear of relegation zone.

Amazed at the Villa v West Brom game, good result there for them No chance to watch MotD here

Apart from their game against us at Anfield perhaps. They certainly didn't get a clean sheet there.

City are on fire this season with goals flying in all over the place - I think they will overhaul Arsenal and lift the title - sheer class and a joy to watch

When was the last time Villa scored 4 against Premiership opposition ? - SS4 is in dreamland

Now that my beloved Hearts are finally out of minus points it's such a good feeling. Took us long enough to get the 15 points deduction off our back and into plus points. After beating Ross County on Saturday we have a massive 2 points

Another win tonight 2-1 v St Mirren - could they do a WBA ?

Bodes well for Sunday

I hope they get relegated and Allardyce get's sacked :roll:

I meant on Wednesday nights (obviously I forgot to type that cucial part in )

Stonking result for Liverpool in The Merseyside Derby last night.

Could easily have been 6 or 7.....

SAS strike again (with the exception of the penalty :cry

Did you watch it? I think Everton were a bit unlucky throughout the match as they done the same as Newcastle and done everything but score but Liverpool did look like they would with every attack

 

[Xenophon PCDGS]

Tottenham Hotspur, despite their relatively high league position, find themselves now with a goal difference of -1.

Loosing 4-0 and Liverpool missing a penalty to make it 5-0 is not unlucky. Loosing Lukaku was unlucky but if he was all that stood between Everton getting a result and getting taken apart against 2 of the highest scoring forwards in the league I wouldn't say it was a massive difference.

Seriously, do you think loosing 4-0 is a bit unlucky?

Actually, if Sturridge, Suarez and Gerrard had never scored before you may have a point.

I listened to it live and watched MOD last night. Unless it was edited favourably towards Liverpool it looked like one way traffic

One criticism Sturridge should not have taken the penalty - leave it to Stevie G.

Despite this wonderful performance City are still a far better prospect for the title.

Are there any Man City fans on RailUK Forums ? - I don't recall any.

As soon as they become really successful there will be plenty.

Three forum members have voted so on the poll on the other thread.

I come from a Man City background, but turned my back on them after the move to the City of Manchester stadium, choosing to give my support to a team that I could afford to go and see.

 

[Phil6219]

I'm a City fan and have been all my life, through thick and thin. I was there at Wembley in '99 for our finest hour when we managed to come back from 2 nil down to get promoted. I just tend not to comment much on the football side of things on here much more...

I couldn't remember to be honest. It was the recent CL final though so you're probably right. Once more the BBC decide to show a completely one sided game because Manchester of course. Told you the Midlands was overlooked

 

[VauxhallandI]

I'm an Altrincham and City fan.

It is great to watch wonderful football from City and I am making sure I don't turn in to an expectant United style fan.

I am however bored with other teams fans insinuating I picked up the City theme in the last four years.

It wasn't long ago City were a lot of people's second team and were lauded for having 35k in the third tier etc, that fact now seems to be forgotten.

Example at WHL on Wednesday night were the Spurs fans sing "where were you when you were ****" well I think we all know they were exactly where they were.

I love a day out at the football but a large majority of football fans are a right pain in the arse.

I was working in one of the bars there that day..

 

[balne-wonderer]

there used to be another Leeds fan but not seen him for ages

West Yorkshire derby tomorrow, Leeds v Huddersfield

I actually think Town are doing well, building steadily for the future and on a sound financial base. However, a Town fan at work said a few people are getting fed up with Robins tactics and feel the team is performing poorly.

Amazingly it's a 3pm Kick off, usually it's early KO for these games, just hope there is no bother.

There is a lot of upheavel at Leeds at the moment, there is clearly huge problems upstairs and a takeover bid fell through yesterday.

I don't see us winning this, we usually perform awfully in Yorkshire derby games so I expect this to be no different given our current form. Huddersfield will be up for it, I just wish our players showed the same desire in this fixture.

I'm saying 1-3 to Town.

I also found that very strange.

 

[balne-wonderer]

We have truly sunk to a new low tonight, lower than we have ever been.

I am disgusted by the club, furious is not the word. I can't imagine what the atmosphere will be like tomorrow.

I can't put into words how disgusted and appalled I am

I'm disappointed for Brian. I knew him years ago at Slough, and a more genuine bloke you could not hope to meet.

 

[61653 HTAFC]

Crazy decision by the 'revolving-door' owners of Leeds. McDermott was massively respected by the players, and it seems a certain Ross McCormack is not happy with the way things have gone. Unfortunately I'm not sure it'll give us much of a boost for tomorrow- we seem to be playing some amazing football at the moment but can't seem to buy a win!

Our resident Oldham fans on the forum can look forward to some decent performances from Jon Stead who's just joined on loan from Huddersfield. He came back to his hometown club this summer but other than his winner in the derby it hasn't really worked out for him. At League One level though, he's a real acquisition.

I'm also surprised by the 3pm kick-off, perhaps WYP are wary of being accused of over-reaction after they lost a civil court case brought by Hull City supporters angry at the restrictive travel arrangements when they came to HTFC last spring?

I'm afraid I don't share balne-wonderer's faith in our ability to get a result though!

We are going to be all over the place tomorrow. I'm back in my normal position at the top of the North Stand, with the dregs of the Leeds support. I really do not know what state the team will be in. Anyway, lets have a good game
