What’s the deal with MOTD this season, are bbc still not allowed to replay it via iPlayer? Have I missed the spurs game?

Yes you’ve missed it. Match of the Day on BBC iPlayer will be available on Monday I think.

Oddly, I was able to select watch from the beginning on iplayer as it was still on, but if I tried to watch it now it wouldn’t be possible. Odd.

Palace look Derby 08 levels of terrible.

At this stage of the season we're actually worse than they were

[Denster]

Mignolet clearly touches the ball. Terrible decision

Balanced out almost instantly by Can's handball not being picked up.

[Saint of Killers]

Some Man Utd fans are singing the Lukaku song again and also "we're Man Utd, we'll sing what we want". Wankers.

Manchester United asking for CCTV footage. They knew what they were doing and sang it anyway; ban 'em for life. I hope the police can charge them with something, doubly so given the fact Lukaku himself asked them not to sing it. The utter bastards.

Not balanced out when Lovern should have had a penalty that wasn't given but who really cares now I'm just glad we won.

[Denster]

Yeah. It was a big deal to hold on to the 3 points there.

Was for us as well.

Big time, we needed the three points yesterday, now we need to build on it and get some consistency going.

I think the Leicester penalty was the right decision. Mignolet got the ball first and diverted it away from Vardy which is probably what saved him from getting sent off but he did take Vardy out.


Some awful displays from referees yesterday though. Leicesters first goal was a farce when you look at Okazaki obviously fouling Mignolet and how Alonso didn't get sent off yesterday is beyond me.

[Denster]

Especially with a tough away leg in CL to follow.

I really hope so too but it seems unlikely the police can do much. Life time bans sounds good, though.

[Denster]

I think they sang it in protest and then stopped. It'll fizzle out its own. Once people do what you should always do. Stop giving the people attention.

Lifetime ban is harsh. Season long maybe.
But hey / you're a man of strong opinions.

It's the only way they'll learn.

[Denster]

The club will act appropriately. It is a matter of them dealing with it and letting it fade away. So it stops being a thing and stops being sung.

They're just as guilty of being oafish, puerile and idiotic.

You should empathise.

[Denster]

Oops sorry.

Is united away in Russia this week too?

[Denster]

Yep. Better now than December.

strawberry floats sake. Reporting the story would be ok as it is in the public domain but doing so in a way that will make Lovren look like a ballbag to Liverpool fans is rotten carry on.

Yeah you can always do that, is great if you're out and miss the first chunk.

Alternatively google Reddit football highlights, and it's always up there rapid.

That's how all media operate. Someone will talk to a reporter and all the outlets just repeat the story using the same quotes to make it appear as it's their own story.

[Drumstick]

Yes! Let's hold onto this lead please.
