I don't usually read the Independent BB but I recommend their sports writer Jonathan Liew, who they poached from the Telegraph.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says he has "never celebrated another team dropping points" after Manchester City defender Kyle Walker posted a tweet mocking the Reds 1-1 draw with Leicester.

Harry Maguire's equaliser prevented Liverpool going seven points clear at the top of the Premier League, a day after City lost 2-1 to Newcastle.

Walker posted a popular meme of Maguire from the World Cup with the caption: 'So basically they thought they were gonna go seven points ahead'. He deleted it, but it quickly went viral.

 

 

Could never understand a professional footballer mocking another teams result ( shows a bit of insecurity if you ask me), though to be fair Walker doesn't exactly come across as Brain of Britain  !

Especially considering City completely bottled it at Newcastle.  That was a proper bottle job. You'd think low profile and mouths shut would be the order of the day. Bottle is one thing you can't buy, class is the other.  I remind myself of Pep disrespecting us, the Harry Kane Team jibe........To be surprised i'm actually quite surprised by Walker as i always thought him ok, kind of nice but dim type.

Very quiet here in this spineless and soulless wasteland of Moss Side....must be out searching for a bottle!

30 of us on the lash for the weekend in Sharm EL Sheikh. Didn't have to search very long for a bottle and I've fallen in love with Sakkara Gold but Egyptian Stella isn't great

Tell you what Ronnie... get yourself down to Moss Side and mention to a couple of people they are spineless and soulless. 

 

Let me know how you get on.

We are cheers Ronnie. I got my very first Eagle yesterday. Par 4 and pitched onto the green from 140 yards out. Boom, straight down the hole. Those type of things make up for all the disappointing shots you've had

Jockstar will be hoping you didn't run into the bushes after and do your predictions.

Neither can i. Walker desrves all the flak that's  coming his way.

1. City bottled it at Newcastle - big chance for us there but we were very poor.

2. Walker seems an idiot.

3. No disrespect intended by Pep. Spurs are the Harry Kane team; he's the main man. Thats all Pep meant. Deal with it.

"If our level is like the last game (against Newcastle), it doesn’t matter if the gap is five points, two points or one, we are not going to win the title,” Guardiola said.

 

Hooray! Reality at last. Sort it out NOW before it's too late.

Too many fannnies in your team they can't handle the chills.

1. At 1v0 up why didn't we gwt that clear penalty for pulling down aguero? 

2. Why do have minimen Silva and Sterling marking their players who are decent in the air = goal conceded.

3. Bit fortunate to be ahead in a close game but a lovely 2nd goal.

3. KdB struggling still.

4. Gundogan is a liability when they have the ball. 

5. NOT HAPPY WITH THAT STARTING LINEUP! Fernandinho playing a dual CB (dedending) / midfield  (attacking). Otamendi against fast forwards. Sterling leftside. Sort it Pep. Get Stones on for Gundogan and Fernandinho in the Fernandinho position.

 

Not happy! Lost our way recently.

Poor 1st half. Very decent 2nd half.

 

Aguero's 10th Premier League hat-trick - 1 behind Shearer? Aguero's 14th hat-trick for City (42 goals). 

 

Bernardo caught my eye again. What a touch. The best engine in the Premier?

 

Was surprised Pep kept kdb on so long; he was knackered towards the end.

 

Dont think i can remember a Premier week as tough as this week: arsenal everton and Chelsea.
