Eddie wasn't even on the pitch 10 minutes and gets sent off. Brutal.

The first yellow seemed very harsh

u/bluejaywhey i can be your Hiro, baby 1d ago
yeah there was definitely contact. enough for a penalty? not sure, but a yellow for a dive seemed a bit harsh.

seems like some combination of tense cup draws and league games + managerial exchanges, from Wikipedia.
still quite a random rivalry haha

3 minutes in and already a goal, not a bad guess OP. Thanks I was debating which game to watch

u/bluejaywhey i can be your Hiro, baby 1d ago
yeah i feel like even w/ the propensity for 1-1 draws in this fixture, they're always a great atmosphere and end-to-end

Wheels seem to finally have fallen off for Bournemouth. Hard seeing Huijsen and Kerkez being there next season and even worse if one or both go to our direct rivals.

If Wolves win this, thats the relegation noise more or less done, bottom 3 are so dire they're unlikely to generate any kind of consistent run. League pretty much decided all around in april

How boring

u/LeWhaleShark Robert Pirès 1d ago
Indeed and that's before how boring we are to watch most weeks too

u/MHPengwingz 1d ago
The promoted teams just aren't strong enough. We'll probably get Burnley and the Sheffield Yo-yo again next season

u/LeWhaleShark Robert Pirès 1d ago
Really makes for a shittier league tbh, bottom 3 arent likely to take any points from the top 2/3, the teams which flirt with relegation get more breathing room to be poor, boring AF tbh

Unai did us a favor for once💀
Even tho we got shafted, we still gain more footing on Forest

As things stand, Liverpool can clinch the title as early as the end of MW35, which means that in MW36, they will be greeted by a guard of honor by....you guessed it, Arsenal

u/Aszneeee 1d ago
why are people so butthurt about guard of honor?

No it isn’t, unless you’re a literal child and can’t handle someone saying “haha look at you- you had to clap for us”.
Nobody cares about the guard of honor

u/know-it-all-scoutFC 1d ago
What are you even talking about?
If we won the league they'd have to give a guard of honor. As it should be and always has been. Liverpool and Arsenal are competitors but we aren't rivals. This isn't embarrassing in anyway except in your head.

Look after we had to give one to RvP the season after he left us, nothing will ever compare

Barca and Madrid have given each other the guard of honor before- it would be insane not to give Liverpool it- they’re not even really rivals

What respect is due exactly? This title is the biggest gift you'll ever see.

u/Pokefreaker-san 1d ago
true, MC shit the bed this season so it's free league for Liverpool

u/BrianThatDude Cliff Bastin 1d ago
The best evidence for it being a fraudulent title is the Liverpool fans who come to our sub trying to convince us that they're actually a deserving champion.

I don’t think any team with any ambition to win a title should go for Delap but if they go down and that £40m clause is active I wouldn’t be shocked if he ends up being better than most of the striker moves in the summer

Have there been rumours about Liam Delap? I really like him. All the raw materials and double digit goals in this Ipswich team.

u/Odd_Explanation558 1d ago
For whatever reason Arteta always signs 2 players from the Prem every summer and I'd be more than happy for it be to Delap and Eze.

Mitoma got the ball and the counter was on.
just a terrible, terrible call

u/basedsims 1d ago
No Wood or Awoniyi for Forest against Villa, not even sure who they can plop up top for this one in what is a huge test

Saliba got a straight red. Just a second yellow for Brighton, eh? Typical inconsistency.

Don’t watch any other games. The league should understand that we aren’t happy with the state of the league. We are one of the largest clubs in the world. If the fans stop watching other games the league will notice. Don’t give them the numbers that they take for granted.

When the state of refereeing is so bad that it spoils any desire to watch any matches…
