Boxing Day Football and the other games, but I've lost track of what day it is.

MrsGrey

We can enjoy the festive football cornucopia without any West Ham stress. Bring it on ;wahoo

MrsGrey

Pep's coatigan is back in the squad. #festiverotation ;wahoo

I don't know whether it is a good thing or not that Burnley are currently 3 down at home based on who are playing them next at Turf Moor? ;puzzled

MrsGrey

Μike Dean dishes out an utterly ridiculous red card.

MIAHammer

Man City lose again.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

So Liverpool are gonna win the league...

Today has been a sad day

MrsGrey

I'd be surprised if that wasn't appealed.

But on a related point, why was Delph playing left back when Danilo was bought as s left back from Real Madrid, and was available today.

WHU_Champo_league_in_7_years

Danilo is a RB by trade

And Walker was awful against Palace, so I assume he was dropped

Pretty sure Delph played lb all of last season

MrsGrey

City won't win again until I stop captaining Sane ;doh

MrsGrey

Delph has played there, but he's a MF by trade. Danilo can play RB or LB, and is a defender by trade.

But obviously Pep knows best ;biggrin

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

There was clearly a follow through by Delph, don’t normally agree with much Dean does but on this occasion a bit hmm

The Arsenal goalkeeper ;doh ;lol

IMO thought Red card was correct decision from Mike Dean for Delph.

grey_til_I_dye

Thought Montoya's challenge in the Arsenal game was worse, which only got a yellow (and was the kind of challenge Marky Mark has been sent off for.)

In Delph's case, I thought the Leicester player was so far away from the ball when Delph went in to tackle that it wasn't even a yellow.

We went away to Blackburn 2 days later and beat them 3-1.

MrsGrey

Madness.

MrsGrey

Shoulda bin a pen to Watford. Sideshow Bob barges him over. With a shoulder. Which is not the same as 2 players chasing down a ball and meeting shoulder to shoulder.

horshamhammer

Turning out to be terrible for us Hammers at the top of the table. Victimpool or Spuds for the title. Can't think of anything worse.

chicagohammer

I thought that Watford were a bit unlucky, they effectively gifted Chelsea their two goals, overall I enjoyed the game which is really wierd for me given that Chelsea actually won it.

Watford had just enough of the game to make me believe they could even it up which kept me interested

MrsGrey

Kane with a smart goal against Wolves.

MrsGrey

And a yellow card for diving.

chicagohammer

And now they are losing at home ;lol

MIAHammer

Commentators sounding like Spurs season is over if they lose here ;doh

chicagohammer

And now it is 1-3, oh dear, what a pity, how sad,

MIAHammer

On the down side, Wolves go above us , for now.

thornburyiron

So do Watford.

MIAHammer

A win tomorrow and we go 7th ;wahoo
