I knew there would be 4 or 5 goals in the Villa v Everton game, so won £200 off £5 with Villa winning 3-2.

Acca has been a waste of time again, with the Saints screwing us over.

 

Got a fiver on Man Utd beating the Baggies 4-1.

Clattenburg usually a decent ref, but don't know how he is letting everything go this match.

I don't see how that is Guzan's fault?

If Bacuna/Richardson didn't leave that hole, then the wall does it's job. i.e. the wall was set up perfectly, wasn't it?

Guzan can't make people not jump out of the way.

From what I can tell, Richardson was never initially meant to be in the wall as Guzan starts by holding up 4 fingers. The problem is that it's a 4 man wall with Richardson just floating about in case of the short pass. In my opinion Guzan, as the architect of the wall, should have had the foresight to stick Richardson firmly on the end of it for a 5 man wall in that dangerous free kick area.

Bacuna gets 90% of the blame for completely pussying out. My point was that all 3 had a part to play, and for the record I'm firmly out of the "Guzan should be dropped" camp.

Thought it was Richardson not being tight rather than Bacuna at fault for their second.

That's what it was, bacuna did his job in the wall while Richardson left a big gap for no reason whatsoever.

Re-watch the free kick. Bacuna is absolutely at fault, alongside Richardson (for being in no-mans land) and Guzan (for not setting it up properly). When the dummy run is 'taken' he moves behind Benteke, then doesn't reposition himself and turns his back just as the ball is struck. He might as well not even been in the damn thing.

Everton are 2-0 up against the Red Manc's as I type this, and fairly so.

 

This certainly won't be a walk in the Villa Park for us, Everton will score and I think it will be a case of us just having to outscore them. I do think this will be a fairly high scoring game as our defence is massively error prone and as Jimzk5 rightly said above, Everton lack any real pace throughout their team which should allow us to bomb right through them.

 

3-3 draw, or another 3-2... not sure which team will get the win though.

Such a frustrating result

How the feck has Nzogbia made the wrong decison? Put it on a plate for Tekkers ffs.

 

Had he slotted it through early then Benteke would have had much more time on the ball to calmly finish it.

As soon as N'Zogbia made the wrong decision, and Benteke was called incorrectly offside the writing was on the wall for City to go on a nick it. You can't mess up chances like that against top teams, they can always score in the last 5 minutes

Why on earth does N'Zogbia insist on shooting from about 30 yards out, i haven't seen him even hit the target from there all season.

 

Such a damn waste!

I feel like I am watching a documentary in the library or something.

The stadium, the players, the commentators, everything is just... flat.

 

It's making me uneasy.

 

Edit: Guzan doing his best to inject some life into this... in completely the wrong way!

Richardson starting as he means to go on :/

What's everyone up to this weekend then lads?

 

A real tough one to call with the way the fixtures are this weekend. Although I expect Man City to beat us (3-1 City i think), it would be stupid not to place a bet at the odds the bookies are offering.

 

 

I'll no doubt place a couple of more bets (first scorer, correct score etc) just before and during the Villa game.

I've just done the new DLC tracks, and bar Cheese Land I think they are all exceptional. Neo Bowser and Ribbon Road look gorgeous, gonna be a lot of fun playing online tonight

 

 

I've found quite a few of our games recently on kickasstorrents.

 

Well i'll be damned, edited my post, nice one mate

 

 

I haven't actually checked yet but the other Semi Final is up and I've managed to get the Spurs game, Sunderland game and both West Brom games off there.

 

I'm sure there is way you could rip it from the sites Chewie listed as well maybe?

 

 

I actually have all the games encoded in Mp4 format, i'm just not massively comfortable putting them up on torrent sites and being the initial seeder.

 

Playwire Sandbox (where everyone is dumping their encodes) which then get released on the sites I usually link to try their hardest to make it so you can't rip from their web player. There are ways to do this though, but again, i'm not comfortable telling people how to do it and getting into trouble with Limpid

Anybody know any torrent downloads of the full game ?????

 

 

Edit: See below

Chewie, I love you!

 

The feeling is mutual my friend   I'd add you into my signature, but I think that might smash the pretentious level through the roof

Righto, so because Arsenal will be in the CL, have we just qualified for the Europa League today?

 

Doesn't look like it

Couldn't have been a worse ball

 

I am sadly forced to go to the pub to watch it. I'm fully expecting to be the only claret and blue clad person in a sea of red.

Same here mate, in Manila, loads of Scouse glory fans, pub will be packed with them, can't wait for the game but hope they are silenced early on!

 

 

Where you watching it, out of interest?
