Conflicting reports, may be another man named Daniel Agger not our Dani was detained.

Thats a link in Russian. Trial is today as I undersand. I was also there btw, it was organized after opposition leader Alexey Navalny was imprisoned.

That was coming.Rhys Williams is not ready for such games I can't understand why we persist with him even with all our injuries there are better solutions.

Saints disallowed perfectly good goal in the Cup final (the score was 0:0 at the time), Mascherano red card for talking with Webb, 3 (!) offside goals in one game against Villa, red card for Torres for a supposed dive when there was a clear foul and then an offside winning goal in the same match... and I can add so much more also)

Firmino needs to wake up, wasted 2 or 3 promising attacks cause of him. And in general despite dominating play we haven't created much. We neeed a bit of magic to open them up.

I like our line-up, we 'll dominate the ball easily and should create plenty of chances. The only worry is their pace up front and manc tw*t Tierney with the whistle.

And again Manc ref refereeing us against Manc team. I am in general against European Superleague but one big plus I find in this project is that at last we 'll get neutral European refs.

Btw Slabhead disallowed goal is similar to the goal West Brom scored against us. No consistency, its either a foul both times or no foul both times.

I think its the correct decision, not enough force in the tackle for a red card. Though I ve seen them given for such tackles.

Upped the intensity at last, we 'll score soon. Goal was disallowed cause keeper had two hands on the ball or so VAR thought. No offside

Yeah, I think we 'll show a reaction and beat Man U, they are not that good. But I also think Citeh are in the driving seat now, massive favs for the title...

And yes, we need urgently dominating centreback not only in defence but also as an attacking threat. Several times in tight matches VVD had saved us with his headers from corners or free kicks... now we have literally zero threat from set pieces.

I think we played all right today against a very good team, certanly in the second half. Just wasn't our day. I am more mad about dropping 4 points to sh*te like West Brom and Newcastle, that was unforgivable.

We are still ahead on goal difference

Never. Though I ve seen those given to Man U but only to them

Saints are a good team, they are pressing extremely well. We need luck to turn this around, a deflection or Forster's mistake. I am sure after scoring we 'll play better.

No foul here, Saints keeper overprotected by Marriner

Doubt it, Abramovich is not the most patient owner

Fat Frank will be sacked soon

In all the previous seasons Wilder always was better despite having less money. Villa is big club with multibillionaire owners that can spend 150 mlns in one transfer window... you can't compare them with Sheff Utd. Though I also like Smith.

I think he is a very good coach, one of the best English coaches if not the best. But he does need help with recruitment, they wasted lots of money on average and poor players. Basically all their best players are still players that got them out of League 1 and Championship.

Сorruption means whistling in favour of Man U for extra money I certainly don't think so. But may be on the subconscious level they are biased. Okay, lets believe them they don't support Man U. But many of their friends, relatives support them... its too much pressure. Do you see refs from Catalonia in El Clasico? Never. But we often get refs from Manchester.

I don't believe in corruption or conspiracy but there is an undeniable fact, too many manc refs in the PL. I mean refs from Manchester or Manchester area, almost half of PL refs are mancs. Todays VAR was manc Tierney. And while they all claim to support small local clubs like Taylor claims that he supports Altrincham I doubt that they can be neutral in games involving Man U, City or Liverpool. And Taylor certainly is not neutral with all the evidence we have from different matches.

That pen was soft as sh*te but in todays game its not a surprise that it was given. And yes despite not playing well they are dangerous, large squad plus refs help in covid season can bring you lots of points. We are streets ahead football-wise but need to address centreback issue and hopefully no more injuries!
