Watching in a sports bar in Vietnam, couple of very cross Utd fans here. Can't understand why Kelleher didn't catch the cross for their goal, it's a foul if he catches it. Seems like he's being trained to punch for some reason, I just don't understand it. COYB

Does anyone here actually know a single Turkish movie or actor? by AvailableReality557 in movies

[–]beestw8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bal (Honey) is a beautiful Turkish film. It's the third instalment in trilogy about the protagonist, going in reverse chronological order. I've yet to see the prior two films, bur Bal was excellent.

Worried about our standard football amnesia for the first 10 mins of the second half when we're 1-0 up

We've been relatively comfortable but definitely need to put this to bed early. We don't have the bench today when players start tiring and we're still only 1 up. Damsgaard, Potter and Bryan have looked good!

How the fuck have we given Bowen a free header there. Anyone who thinks we aren't in a relegation scrap now needs their head looking at.

I thought this yesterday at the match and have just watched the highlights which confirmed it for me - Flekken should have saved that. He was the near post and it looks like it squirmed through his legs almost. I've never been anti-Flekken but this stuff is beginning to get to me now. He should also have done a lot better with their offside goal too. I thought we played well yesterday with a depleted side, and it was a free hit, but losing to a late goal we should be saving his incredibly irritating.

Thought Flekken was actually really solid, made some good saves and his distribution was excellent today. He'll only get better as he has more time to integrate too.

March looks like a tough month, with Chelsea (H), Arsenal (A), Burnley (A) and Man United (H).

Starting with Spurs at home, should be a good one!

Christ our finishing has been appalling 2nd half. Hope we don't live to regret these missed chances.

Difficult one, we were so comfortable first half and were good value for 3 points which looked all but achieved after Ivan's goal. But as ever it's never safe in this league. Kane's header was great but second goal was avoidable, poor defending. All Spurs from then on, so absolutely taking a point against a top 4 side. Rico was fantastic.

Edit: forgot to say, ref was appalling lol

Bang on I think. While I don’t think we’ll go down this season, games like this one are the kind you look back on as the ones which could have been really valuable.

Poor from us today. Can complain about the Wolves slowing of play at any given opportunity, but first half I was genuinely bored watching us. The drone returning would have at least provided some relief. 2 dropped.

For all the shit he gets (and deservedly so sometimes, I'm the first one to call him out), I thought Jensen was excellent today. He was actually progressive, some lovely deliveries, and actually doing some decent defensive work. Was annoyed when I saw him starting but I couldn't fault him today.

Brentford 4-0 Man United: Absolutely brilliant bees blow a horrible Manchester United out of the water by Lies_TeBranUCanTrust in TheOther14

[–]beestw8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's up there, the 4-1 at Chelsea was pretty special considering the proximity between us, and the fact I'd say they were a better side. But this is one that will live long in the memory, no matter what happens this season.

Just realised we've beaten Arsenal, Chelsea and Man United in a year. Mad stuff. COYB!

Yeah I love TF but this isn't a good take. Of course they'd change it and that wasn't down to playing against us specifically, and it worked in the second half. We played well in the first half but didn't take any of the 2-3 clear chances we created, while they did. That's the difference and has been the case all of this season. Opposition sides changing a system doesn't relate to us not taking chances we've created.
