TFF chit chat 25th, 26th, 27th and 29th January

Salah assist apparently.

From the BBC: Liverpool are lethal on the counter. They go straight down the other end following a West Ham corner. Mo Salah releases Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who slots home calmly.

Had to check the points rules - TAA subbed off - will still get full CS points (as played 60+) but only if Liverpool don't concede for 90.

Henderson to RB. Keita and Fabinho on for more minutes. Origi off too.
(EDIT - 3rd sub later, Jones on for Ox)

Apparently Greenwood went off at HT for Man U - injured?

Tyler said a slight knock.

Though it odd tactics as they need(ed) another goal

[Darbyand]

Yep James has offered precisely zero in the second half.

[murf]

Liverpool game over. 2-0.

Liverpool now need 24 points to secure the title from 14 games. A PPG of 1.71, which (for first 24 games) would currently have them on 41pts, just ahead of Chelsea in 4th so easily attainable but not deckchair-simple.

Above assumes Man City win all their games but if they only keep up their current form (PPG = 2.125) Liverpool need 11 or 12 points from 14 games (anyone but Norwich form)

If you fancy something a little bit different (involving odd shaped balls) why not check out murf's 6 Nations Egg Chasing Predictions Competition 6 Nations Egg Chasing Predictions Competition which is OPEN FOR ENTRIES NOW and starts on Saturday (the entry is almost half full already - not bad for Rugby)

[murf]

He was there if Liverpool got a 5th (spark was for 3rd and butt for 4th)

For a second there I thought Spark and Butt were other members of the Bash Street Kids

[murf]

There is a slight resemblance between Plug and Phil Neville who played alongside Sparky and Butt.

Scores are up, 31 for me and up to 65th overall!

I am surprised that your team is public considering how well you're doing.

haha I'm in an SL (15th year running it) where we all have open, public teams. To be honest, I didn't expect to be doing so well and have a feeling it won't last .. just nice while it's happening

If by some pure fluke I stay up here, then I might change to private lol

[happyhoppy]

So new dude means James days numbered ? Darbyand?

[Darbyand]

I think he'll take Pereira/Lingard's place in attacking CM. However, James has been very poor recently IMO, he needs a break. Better value out there at 3.0m.

[Darbyand]

No sign of a price for Bruno yet. They're not exactly prolific on the social media. 7 tweets in January. 5 Facebook posts since November. I'd have thought that's how any younger players would expect to keep up with an online game. Do they have a presence anywhere else?

Fernandes, Midfielder, 4.5m

They send an e-mail every week to us old farts. Usually just touting rubbish players and gambling links.

Not got this week's yet.

Ah yes, I see him in the transfer lists (no I didn't) but not in the Stats Centre. Could be an interesting option if he settles.

I'm using this as an excuse as to why my sl leader shot off in to the distance recently. How do you actually see them then as all I see is a list of on the leadeerboard, no actual teams/links etc?

edit: I assume this is in the one league then?
