We are tripping over ourselves to make the other side favourites. How typically GAA.
No way - we are deservedly favourites.
Mind you I envisage an absolute borefest given what I have seen of Armagh lately
Mayo - Another year another false dawn
Galway - Grinding out results - if they can get Comer & Walsh firing on all cylinders they will kick out. Great midfield
Kerry - No need to even think about peaking yet - currently just going through the motions
Rossies - Many teams in the league seemed to underestimate them - will be happy with the finish but do nothing as usual come cship
Armagh - Not a clue what McGeeney has done with this team. From all out attack to all out defence. Deserve to go down
Tyrone - Starting to come good and I still dont think we have clicked. Will be a test for any team in the round robins
Monaghan - Could have the great escape yet again - wont count come cship time unless McManus & Mcarron are 100%
Donegal - Shambles of a set up on and off the field
Don’t necessarily disagree about Armagh deserving to go down but if we beat Tyrone and finish on 7. Or we lose and Mayo breath Monaghan then we will have deserved to stay up. Barely
Now that the dust has settled a bit I'll give you my two bobs worth on Armagh...We have lost the plot, Armagh have great forwards and playing them all in our own half back line is a sin. I get what KMcG is trying to achieve by pulling everyone back and trying to hit the other teams on the counter as we're poor defensively atm but it's not working. I love Armagh and have followed them all my life and I'm considering taking a sabbatical away as I genuinely can't watch that crap atm. I honestly would rather be beaten and having a go/rattle than get beaten in a close game that was like watch grass grow.
For some reason our top forwards are all below par and seem to be short of confidence...do we go for a shoot out with the Kerry's etc and get humped as we'll be left exposed at the back?...I dunno but if we're still losing anyway why not try it out and see. We have to go to Omagh next week and Tyrone will love nothing more than relegating Armagh and we will only have ourselves to blame for this mess as we had a chance to win every game so far and couldn't manage it, from what i have seen the 3 teams at the bottom are the worst teams in Div 1 and there's nothing between Monaghan and Armagh so whoever has the goolies for it next week will stay up.
I know i'm a bit old school here but can someone please tell me why all forwards are afraid to shoot from 30-45m out, this is from all the games in general. Are forwards told not to shoot unless it's in front of the posts...is this a % thing?. you see guys in what i think is a scoreable position but they won't shoot and recycle the ball across and back and across and back and across and back before someone gets dispossed and the counter attack starts...WTF. You're a County footballer, get within 30-45m and pop the the ball over the bar. Even at club level I played with guys who didn't think twice about shooting from those ranges and hardly ever missed...Maybe the footballer is being replaced with an athlete now and fitness/strength is preferred to a proper footballer...
Rant over...
Liverpool never looked like they’d real belief they’d make a game of it. That was like a pre-season friendly. No intensity.
Milner is the better penalty taker when available.
Frustrating as f**k, that was.I dunno J70, with the fixtures they have coming up in April, finishing in the top 4 is a bit of a long shot.
But typical of their problems this season. Just can’t function when a team sits back, packs the center of the defense and forces them to work it down the wings.
Luckily, top four will remain within reach due to the inconsistency of others.
I wouldn’t sweat those games. I’d say they’ll beat Arsenal and get something from Chelsea. City… probably not, but you never know. It’s the games where it’s a physical battle against defensive teams that would worry me.
TAA came out and said Bournemouth wanted it more today.
What kind of f**king admission is that to make? And it’s not the first time we’ve heard something like that this season.
Top four is there for them if they want to take it badly enough. The question is whether they do.
Would be very frustrating to miss out. Newcastle seem to be running on fumes, and Spurs are at a low ebb with Conte probably looking out and the players looking him out. To not finish above those two would be very poor imo. Would be more worried about Chelsea getting their act together finally.
That's just weird.
Chelsea are 11 points out of the top 4, with 6 teams in between them and 4th.
All liverpool need to get 4th is a good run, and Spurs/Newcastle to drop points. Chelsea need to go on a run and 6 teams to drop off.

How the narrative has changed since that night.A few on here who couldn’t wait to comment at the time aren’t so vocal now.
