Tonight's footy 18/1

Post by tiger76 » Tue Jan 18, 2022 7:57 pm

Can't see a thread so here goes.

Brighton-Chelsea the open prem game to survive.

But a couple of tasty ties in the Champ.

Fulham-Birningham

PNE-Sheff Utd

Morecambe-Wigan also catches my eye in the lower leagues key fixture at both ends of the table.

1-0 Shrimpers that man Stockton again, they'll do well to keep hold of him for much longer on this form.

Chelsea 1-0 up and a very muted celebration. All does not look well there at all.

Fulham 4-0 up before half time.

On this form it’s strange to think Silva was such a failure at Hull, Watford and Everton.

Townsend, what a load of rubbish he talks. Keeper should have covered his near post. It took a deflection you numbskull.

Watching Preston on Red Button
PNE have Hughes sent off and Sharp scores penalty to make it 0-2
Wish all games were on Red Button - just one commentator who only talks occasionally about the game.
No co- commentator telling you a load of nonsensical facts about players meeting up at a grandmas house for her Gooseberry Crumble and such like

Fulham look nailed on for the title, now we just need Bournemouth to rouse themselves, although QPR could also be dark horses in the auto race, only 5 points shy of Bournemouth and Rovers, but with a game in hand, win that and they'll be right in the frame.

I’d posted that they’d delayed the kick off. When they did start they only played four minutes.

I bit ridiculous to delay, start and then call off after four mins. Surely they should have checked the forecasts.

Standards are slipping at Fulham, only the 6 goals tonight. and amazingly Mitrovic didn't bag for once.

Just seen the Nobbers score all credit to them for that recovery.

Rangers drop 2 points at Aberdeen, and to make matters worse Ryan Kent got sent off.

10 seconds of fame or not, it’s becoming a concern. Last week we had someone getting on at Crewe and assaulting one of the opposing players.

For all Brighton’s lovely football up to the chelski penalty box they created virtually zero chances. Aesthetically pleasing but no end product.

Hell of a lot of money to spend, as did Hughton when he'd taken them up, but Potter is doing a good job there.
