25/26 - Non Saints Games

[HnycS]

Man City 1-0 vs Everton.

Think maybe Doku watched the Azaz goal in the semi, thought I can do that, and has been practicing it since? That first goal was almost a carbon copy a little more directly in front of the goal but very similar.

Looking at Everton v City and other PL games, I wonder when did shirt pulling become such a major thing? It has always happened - SRL and Pelle were always having their shirt pulled, but it seems worse than ever. is it because modern shirt materials are more grabable?

Hearts come back to win against Russell Martin & Danny Rohl's Rangers. That's Rangers out of title contention.

No Meghoma for Rangers ( no idea if injured or out of favour)

 

Getting rather invested in the Scottish title race, really want Hearts to do it.

40 years is long enough to now give someone else a title.

But even this has only been possible because Rangers had a takeover then reboot with Russ, and Celtic followed suit with Nancy as manager.

Hopefully Celtic will have a stumble, as I think they play Hearts on the final day...checks...yup.

Hearts have Motherwell, then Falkirk, then Celtic.

A league win this season, and then even more success under Bloom would be excellent for that league.

As much as I’d like to see another team win the Prem, I think it would be funnier to watch Arsenal miss out on a trophy in all four competitions. 😂

City have been awful this second half, and that fuck up for the equaliser could have cost them the league.

[bpsaint]

Bloody hell, the title race is over!!

[Saint Pete]

City implosion in this 2nd half. But wouldn't put it past them still winning this! 

[macca155]

Love those pictures of the City fans leaving as Haaland does what Haaland does.

Never leave early

Bet the Arse Al fans are enjoying this.

I follow Hibs. Hearts will feck it up!

Like us 3 down at Leicester HT! Someone posted on here they left that one early and missed all 4 goals in 2nd half (sorry mate whoever it was 🙂)

Late equaliser, but still an outstanding evening for Arsenal.

Now that equaliser was Azaz-esque!!

Advantage Arsenal

West Ham, Burnley and Palace to go for them - can’t see anything but 9 points.

City still have to go to Bournemouth and could easily drop more points there.

Think that’s it as far as the title race goes. Where’s that Man City fan that was drinking out of the Arsenal bottle tonight I wonder 😂

Yep, Guardiola muted celebration of the equaliser says it all. Very much Arsenal's to lose (again!) especially as they currently have GD advantage too.

If Arsenal are going to slip up, it will be the West Ham one which is awkward due to their position.

That would be hilarious.

Nice to see Dibling contribute to the equ…. Oh yeah, bench warming again.

This time, unlike with your JWP comment, you are right.   👏👏👏

We've all had to go early for jobs, transport, or in my case 'wife in Labour' 😲 reasons. That's fair enough it happens occasionally, but the mass of people streaming out on 85 minutes when it's 1 0 or something, drives me mad.

Those of us who stayed to the bitter end of the 0 9, should get tickets priority for life. Behind those who went to Tranmere obviously. That was category A trauma.

My wife and daughter were two of those (I was working away) - Although like others have freely admitted they were partly waiting in hope that the heavy rain might ease up for the walk back to the car 😁

Back in 2003 when Graham Hiley (ex Echo) was editing the matchday programme, I had a full page piece printed in the v Chelsea programme inspired by the 85 minute exodus in the game at the end of August against Man Utd when it was 0-0, and we scored a glorious winner in the 88th minute. Under WGS the amount of goals we scored from 80 minutes was notable. 
Watching City fans leaving at 3-1 was amusing, seeing them all trotting back in and being caught on Sky should see them in the stocks outside the Etihad next game and have rotten fruit and veg thrown at them. 🤪

Try the station and a wet journey home cocooned in misery.. Fortunately beyond recalling I was there have managed to wipe the details from my memory..
