Flukey as f*ck, deflected goal totally against the run of play.

Agree about Vardy (and apparently we came close to signing him from Fleetwood!). The look he has when he loses his sh!t on the pitch is quite revealing. He has the look of a man who, if you were to bump into him in town on a night out, would much sooner stick a bottle in your face than shake your hand.

Then what the actual f*ck is the point in it if it's not even going to review such obvious errors like that. Utterly corrupt.

Did VAR even check the penalty appeal before their first goal?

Salah just fluffs the ball into the net. Scoreline looks like they have battered us but they haven't at all.

I'd love to know what Friend was saying to Long as he left the pitch.

2-0 lead flatters them really.

Dare I say it - we're looking the team most likely to score at the moment!

Blatant handball from Salah. Not given, obviously.

Yep. How the f*ck can you claim that wasn't as back pass!?

Very short notice but due to being let down at the last minute there is a ticket going spare if anyone wants it. You'll have to meet outside the ground if so.

No, I don't drink the stuff

You could have just gone with the tried and tested "it's got 0-0 written all over it"

Mané is out injured today though isn't he?

Indeed. The way we are set up to play away at the moment, if anyone wants to beat us they will have to work extremely hard for it. I'm expecting us to get beaten, but it will be no walk in the park and I'm expecting Klopp to say it was the hardest win if the season so far. I can happily accept that. But on the flip side, I was fully expecting us to get beaten by Chelsea, Spurs and Leicester recently as well. Gonna be a great game, whatever the result. Just gutted I've not been able to recover from this flu quick enough to actually go

People may see this as an unnecessary weakening of the squad, but let's be honest - he wasn't likely to feature much, if at all, between now and the end of the season when his contract is up anyway. To me it makes more sense to get some kind of fee and his wages off the books now than wait til July and get nothing for a player whose contribution is likely to have been close to zero in that time. Anyway, despite his limitations, I did admire his professionalism. Seems he was a good character to have around and did lots of positive stuff for the community. As a player he was never more than adequate, and even that would take a long run of games to get to (which he certainly wasn't going to get this season), but I wish him well. Arigato Yoshida-San.

Spurs and Levy have previous form for this sh!tty tactic - put in a last minute bid for a player right before the end of the window, knowing that it's too late to do a deal - turn the player's head and then come back in the next window to get a deal on the cheap.

I see you're a registered user so can't PM. Give me your email address and I'll send you the contact details so you can meet my friend outside the ground.

Still no update on Sam McQueen then? It's been well over a year now since he did his ACL. I can only assume in this instance that no news is bad news.

Bumping this in case people have missed it. I'm gutted I can't go but I would rather it didn't result in an empty seat, given how small an allocation we got.

That's pretty much word for word what I told my Villa supporting mate when they signed Matt Targett.

There's a spare ticket going. Friend of mine got one for me but I can't make it now. If anyone wants it I can put you in touch with him so you can meet outside the ground.

If the report from Give it to Ron on the KWP thread is accurate then it looks like we'll have the signing completed and announced tomorrow. Probably still be too soon to throw him in against Liverpool though. If it was a home game against a lesser team then it might be OK, but if he gets roasted on his debut for us then it could destroy his confidence completely.

I can't wait to see what Lord Duckhunter has to say about this

You would have lost a tenner
