December Football

[Giggles]

In the past couple of years phonics has single handedly made Spurs the bigger club with his small time complex. An Arsenal fan should never even consider Spurs relevant enough to obsess about.

[Pleb]

Liverpool-United on Sunday #mourinhoout

[Kikó]

It's going to be completely tragic.

[mugbull]

Spurs were literally not one iota relevant in the 9 years I'm addressing. Maybe the last one or two when 'Arry turned up but I'm talking the post invincibles to post Van Persie era.

Ok, but they're being lauded now...

[Jimmy Floyd]

YES Jesus, a nice finish, not quite Inzaghi but a rare sighting of a poacher's pleasing slot.

[Waffdon]

Pickford jumped out of the way, the hobbit.

ANOTHER Man City home game.

[niko_cee]

That first City goal was an absolute shambles. Awful pass from Pickford to put Mina under pressure in a stupid part of the pitch. Awful from Mina to ineptly punt it 30 yards, then not get out and botch the offside trap. And then Pickford shows Jesus the near post and he just rolls it in. Brave on the ball.

Conceding two midget headers wasn't much better, either.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Mina's performance in general needed a restraining order.

Marco Silva is a moaning little twerp, isn't he? Like Mark Hughes but with lego hair.

[Spikey M]

There are people, who are not deemed mentally unwell, that follow Burnley up and down the country to watch that shit. Worse than West Brom. Horrible.

[Disco]

I think if I lived in Burnley I'd find any excuse to travel to other places.

[Spikey M]

Fair point.

[Mellberg]

They all still enjoy chipping away at the big boys. When that becomes boring there will be a call for 'progressive football'. That's when they'll go full Stoke and get relegated.

[Shindig]

Fuck possession, six points clear.

[Bam]

They all still enjoy chipping away at the big boys. When that becomes boring there will be a call for 'progressive football'. That's when they'll go full Stoke and get relegated.

Or full on Villa, its all the same. Tin pot clubs.

[niko_cee]

Woof. (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46496330)

I'd take that as the scoreline.

[Mike]

I think United will play their awful football and nick a goal at the end today :(

I hope I'm wrong. Our defensive injury list is a worry too.

[Ian]

John O'Shea on the bench.

[Kikó]

Today is going to be nothing but pain.

[Shindig]

Nah, Fellaini will come on and you'll scrap away a 1-0.

[SincereTheRebel]

So Southamption just walked out to this anthem for the Arsenal game.

[Waffdon]

That Hazard pass :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Danny Ings :drool:

[John Arne]

Sian Massey really is a quality lino.

[Lewis]

That United team fucking hell. Roy Keane though. :cool:

[Ian]

We're going to get felt up.

[SincereTheRebel]

That United team fucking hell. Roy Keane though. :cool:

1074304025804398592

Liverpool starting XI: Alisson; Clyne, Lovren, van Dijk, Robertson; Wijnaldum, Fabinho, Keita; Salah, Firmino, Mane.

Subs: Mignolet, Moreno, Camacho, Lallana, Henderson, Shaqiri, Sturridge.

Manchester United starting XI: De Gea; Dalot, Smalling, Lindelof, Darmian; Herrera, Matic; Young, Lingard, Rashford; Lukaku.

Subs: Romero, Bailly, Pogba, Mata, Martial, Valencia, Fellaini.

[Pleb]

Arselol :harold:

[Jimmy Floyd]

Having Roy Keane on really does make Neville look like the superficial pontificating twat he is.

[Lewis]

Sky has a weak dressing room and a lack of characters.

[Shindig]

Fulham next weekend before Liverpool, Watford and Man Utd. Oof.

[SincereTheRebel]

That Man Utd defence is awful. Not one of those players is good enough to get into anyside in the top 10. No wonder De Gea has has been Man Utd best player since Alex left.

[Waffdon]

Five at the back would be fine with Pogba and Martial in the front three. Still, Mourinho hates these and I’m confident in one more shithousing performance

[John Arne]

The fuck is this?

https://gyazo.com/65f38a77470c7882fea29b1f35352387.jpg

[Kikó]

That Man Utd defence is awful. Not one of those players is good enough to get into anyside in the top 10. No wonder De Gea has has been Man Utd best player since Alex left.

Let's not over exaggerate. Smalling is a good option for a team 5-10. Lindelof is improving and Dalot is a highly rated youth full back.

The team is terrible though so it'll be seen to.

[John]

Hilarious, 'Keeper Watch' goalkeeping from the Arsenal man for Southampton's winner there.

[Jimmy Floyd]

That keeper is a classic example of when Arsenal fans think because somebody is from the *insert trendy league here* he must be good. Their leagues have just as many shit wankers as our leagues do.

[Offshore Toon]

Southampton coming out to Hate Me Now has done wonders. I'd like to see other teams walk out to lesser known hip hop bangers as a source of motivation.

[Gray Fox]

I can't help but feel this game is the banana skin.

[Baz]

HERE. WE. GO. :drool:

Should be a landslide, lads.

[John]

Good stuff from Sky there, sticking a French flag in front of Eric Bailly.

[Pleb]

Smalling has bailed the madman.

Bailly to get sent off or something.

[Lewis]

Having a swing at but not touching the ball seems a bit subjective to be the basis of an offside call. Especially when you get absolutely nowhere near it. Gesturing towards it might as well count.

[Jimmy Floyd]

i'm afraid this first 24 has been Liverpool returning to their f***ing perch.

[John Arne]

just before that goal, did Gary asked Phil to pull out?

[randomlegend]

This is so poor. How Mourinho isn't out of a job I do not have a clue.

[John]

There's about six in this for Liverpool if they keep it up. Just complete dominance.

[Waffdon]

Hahahahahhaahha

[Jimmy Floyd]

Jesus. South American keepers till I die.

[Pleb]

Keeper Watch still happening then :D

[randomlegend]

Alisson :D

[John]

:D

Of course.

[John]

Roy Keane on Alisson there, 'He should be catching that with his eyes shut.'

Yep, Roy, that's precisely what he did.

[randomlegend]

Fellaini on for Dalot aaaahhhhhhh make it stop

[Mike]

Signing of the season!

[Pleb]

De Gea :D

[randomlegend]

De Gea :D

?

[Waffdon]

He punched the post.

[Jimmy Floyd]

?

Massive error from him failing to use mind control to send it over the bar (made the same howler on the first goal).

[randomlegend]

Think I'd have burned a stadium down by this point if I were him.

[Mike]

:cool2:

[Pleb]

Mourinho Out please you fannies.

[Lewis]

He's still shit.

[Guybrush]

Get the fuck in!

[SincereTheRebel]

I should stop speaking on players turning their back on the ball. It appeaers to be normal tactics now.

[niko_cee]

Hilarious, 'Keeper Watch' goalkeeping from the Arsenal man for Southampton's winner there.

I think this is harsh. He's the only Arsenal player with a chance to get to the ball, Austin is completely open at the back post and is going to score 9 times out of 10 from there, yes the 'keeper botches it and makes it a 99.9%er but I think he has to take the chance that he can either get a finger on it, or put Austin off. Did make him look a div though.

United are beyond bad.

[Lewis]

The highlight of the match was the United Twitter account reporting 'another deflected goal' as if they don't really count.

[Pleb]

Keane is probably going to have a MELTDOWN over this.

[Baz]

:jayjay:

[Shindig]

I wonder if Roy's brushing up his application.

[Kikó]

I hope we sack him today. He's absolutely gone.

[Giggles]

If they were going to be that shit they could have at least had the decency to long term injure half of those scum cunts.

[John]

Ajax won eight nil today, with Daley Blind getting a hat trick from centre back. Their centre forward did not score.

[Jimmy Floyd]

They blew their chance to sack him while the good managers were moving around last summer. There isn't even a flavour of the month at the moment *checks who is in charge of Dortmund*

61 year old grey haired Swiss Lucien Favre, no chance that will shift any likes or shares.

[Spikey M]

They'll take Pochettino.

[randomlegend]

I hope we sack him today. He's absolutely gone.

We won't.

[Giggles]

They'll take Pochettino.

How does anyone go in and work with that shower of wasters though? Did you see that video of Pogba and Lingard the other day? The two cunts should be on the training ground working and hanging their heads in shame, let alone shaping around a dressing room.

[niko_cee]

He brings half the Spurs team with him.

Although holding out for the Real job next summer is probably a better bet. Getting United back to their expected level is going to be a hell of a struggle.

[phonics]

How does anyone go in and work with that shower of wasters though? Did you see that video of Pogba and Lingard the other day? The two cunts should be on the training ground working and hanging their heads in shame, let alone shaping around a dressing room.

Sounds like you’d be as useful around the place as Mourinho.

[Giggles]

Sounds like you’d be as useful around the place as Mourinho.

And as useful as about half the squad.

[Cheddar]

if they were going to be that shit they could have at least had the decency to long term injure half of those scum cunts.

While they are detestable, they're clearly not being coached. Get Weng in until the end of the season.

Imagine letting United score past you. Klopp out.


The highlight of the match was the United Twitter account reporting 'another deflected goal' as if they don't really count.

The same mindset that has fans talking about hitting the post and making it sound like it should count for half a goal.

I've been waiting months for someone to change my email address as I can't log in otherwise.

As for today, it's just three points. We face our direct rivals on the 3rd January.

[phonics]

Having a breakdown to the point you try to get the police involved only to come back because Liverpool won a match. Jaysus.

That is incredible.

[Smjffy]

I was back about two months ago you plank but I couldn't reactivate account due to email being wrong.

This place doesn't offer much these days tbh. Just a bunch of bored individuals going around in circles discussing the same shit they discussed a decade ago.

Move on.

[John]

Yet here you are, within half an hour of your name being mentioned for the first time in ages.

[Smjffy]

Liverpool v Man United. The thread had potential.

[Kikó]

We've always been a bunch of bored individuals going round in circles.

[Spikey M]

Isn't that the same of 'real life' friendships of any real length too? Try finding new material when you've known anyone 10+ years.

"Errrrr, so, what do you prefer; Bratwurst or Frankfurter?"

[Waffdon]

Andy Robertson is the best left back in the world by the way

[Jimmy Floyd]

He's the best at running in a determined-looking fashion. Not sure his delivery or defending are the best.

[Offshore Toon]

Isn't that the same of 'real life' friendships of any real length too? Try finding new material when you've known anyone 10+ years.

Frankfurter

[Kikó]

Got to Brotwurst?

[Waffdon]

He's the best at running in a determined-looking fashion. Not sure his delivery or defending are the best.

His delivery is spot on. Well, just not from corners. That was dreadful.

[Jimmy Floyd]

They mentioned it on commentary but I'd love to know the statistics (either globally or in any given league) about success from inswinging vs outswinging corners.

[Offshore Toon]

Currywursts are pretty shit too. Not sure why that's seen as a must do.

[Yevrah]

How does anyone go in and work with that shower of wasters though? Did you see that video of Pogba and Lingard the other day? The two cunts should be on the training ground working and hanging their heads in shame, let alone shaping around a dressing room.

As is always the case in these situations it's the manager's fault if the players are serving up shit on the pitch.

If it isn't, what's the point in having one?

[Smjffy]

Peak Mourinho would have struggled to get anything out of Lukaku today I reckon and at some point the player has to take responsibility. Pogba another. I have no sympathy for Mourinho though given he's moaning about his own signings more or less.

United isn't about today anyway, galling for them to be pushed aside by us but their problems are deep rooted and purely internal.

[Yevrah]

The reason they look so awful is because they're being chronically mismanaged.

[Mike]

It’s brilliant. I hope he has a job for life.

[Kikó]

The reason they look so awful is because they're being chronically mismanaged.

The club is completely rotten to the core.

Lukaku being allowed to be horrendously overweight is just a symptom of the mismanagement.

Champiosn League draw

Liverpool vs Bayern Munich
Ajax vs Real Madrid

Lyon vs Barcelona
Tottenham vs Borussia Dortmund
Manchester United vs PSG
Atletico Madrid vs Juventus
Schalke vs Manchester City

[Pleb]

PSG knocking us out :drool:

[Smjffy]

Probably the best time to be facing Munich. Not a bad draw tbh.

[SvN]

February is a long time away in football terms. Hopefully we can at least be competitive, because if the game were to happen this week we'd be annihilated.

[Kikó]

Hopefully Giggs will have us roaring by then

[Smjffy]

Champiosn League draw

Liverpool
Ajax

That's my reckoning.

[Smjffy]

February is a long time away in football terms. Hopefully we can at least be competitive, because if the game were to happen this week we'd be annihilated.

I'm not being dickish but this week? You've looked like you can be turned over by almost every team you've faced since day one.

The only thing that'll change that is big changes in January but there's been nothing to suggest he's going to be entrusted with more money. Rightly so too though. You can't throw bad money after bad money.

Would you not be happier to start from scratch? I'd turf Mourinho out and at least 3/4 of the squad at the same time.

[SincereTheRebel]

Hindsight is wonderful but I bet you would have jumped at the chance to take him if he was to be Wenger's replacement at the time.

It's not just Mourinho fucking over Manchester United.

[phonics]

You think I would have jumped at the chance to take Mourinho 6 months ago? The continued mental breakdowns are clearly affecting your understanding of time. Please fuck back off to your hole.

[Spikey M]

I wouldn't have taken Mourinho 3 years ago. At absolute best he will win you a couple of trophies for a couple of years before leaving the club in ruins afterwards.

[Smjffy]

You're an unhappy individual, aren't you, Phonics. Is your life really that sad that you have to get personal for no reason whatsoever? It's pathetic and says more about you than it does myself.

Moving on. Perhaps the timing of six months is off but if offered Mourinho before he went to United given Wenger's displays too then of course you would have taken him as he's a winner. Might not be at the moment as the game in the Premier League has too much for him to overcome but you can't dispute what he's won in the game.

Really though the guy needs a long break.

[Smjffy]

I wouldn't have taken Mourinho 3 years ago. At absolute best he will win you a couple of trophies for a couple of years before leaving the club in ruins afterwards.

Which clubs has he actually ruined. Don't just spout it, other than United which isn't just him, which club did he 'ruin'?

Chelsea? Inter? Madrid? Porto? His spiel seems to get old after a while but I'd dispute the fact he leaves clubs in a worse shape than when he left. He left Inter as treble winners, he left Chelsea after winning a title, he left Madrid in the same manner, no?

[phonics]

You're an unhappy individual, aren't you, Phonics. Is your life really that sad that you have to get personal for no reason whatsoever? It's pathetic and says more about you than it does myself.

You tried to get a member of this board sacked from their real life job and threatened to report this place to the police during your last breakdown. You turn up and don't even apologise for it. You can get absolutely fucked. You are total scum. I'd rather have Harold back than you.

[SvN]

:michael jackson popcorn:

[Smjffy]

You tried to get a member of this board sacked from their real life job and threatened to report this place to the police during your last breakdown. You turn up and don't even apologise for it. You can get absolutely fucked. You are total scum. I'd rather have Harold back than you.

And your proof of this? You seem to have more of an issue than the person involved at the time, something we both talked about to one another like adults. Getting someone sacked when it was me who got dismissed? Learn your facts.

Why should this place be any different to any other forms of social media? If I believed someone was interfering in my personal life as I did at the time given how open and honest I had been over the years and the moderating team refused to do anything then why shouldn't i pursue something? Not that the police ever got called but still. It was me who lost my job all.

You hold the keys, do as you please. Your words fall on deaf ears.

[phonics]

Why should this place be any different to any other forms of social media?

It's not. Hence why I get to call you a prick.

[Smjffy]

And I have every right to ignore you and apologize to the only person it concerned at the time which I did. IE, Giggles.

I won't sink to your level. I'm better than that.

[SvN]

What did you expect the moderating team to do, out of interest?

[Smjffy]

Delete all my history as I asked repeatedly so there wouldn't be a trail of my openness. It wasnt a big ask but it is what it is.

In hindsight it did me a huge favour by ensuring a career change and I've not looked back since.

I clearly could have dealt with it better at the time but I didn't so I won't dwell on it. Shit happens.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

You got sacked because you had drugs in your bag, no?

Damn this TTH for putting them there.

[Smjffy]

No, I got sacked because someone made an anonymous call to CIW (health inspectors) the exact same time me and Giggles were going at it. Someone claimed I had been seen smoking on the way to work which was never the case but naturally it being in my system meant I was screwed.

It could have been anyone and obviously someone on here had past form for interfering with people's lives. That's when the fun stopped and it became a genuine issue. Giggles had a few issues himself I believe which made him out two and two together but we spoke about it and that was that.

[Baz]

So Giggles needs to plant some weed in Mourinho's bootbag.

[Giggles]

I never did anything to Smiffy and, after we spoke about it, I'm happy that he never did anything to me either. Like he said, we cleared it up ourselves at the time and that's all I know about the whole thing and it's all I want to know.

[Baz]

Aww. :wub:

[Pleb]

While all of this is happening Mourinho is still not sacked :moop:

[Lewis]

And Harold is still not unbanned. :moop:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Giggles saying he didn't do anything is exactly what he'd say if he did something...

What is the obsession with not putting the ball in the quadrant for corners in modern football? It must make absolutely no difference whether the ball is 5cm either way but they're always at it. Liverpool were dreadful for it at the weekend and I just don't get it (City ave just done one there). I wonder if that sort of madness will survive the onset of VAR. Could a goal from a corner be disallowed if , on review, the ball wasn't in the quadrant (touching the line) as in a front-foot no-ball in cricket?

Yes. Its marginal gains stuff.

[niko_cee]

Yeah, but marginal gains are meant to make a difference. I refuse to believe the ball thing does. They don't get it any further out from the goal line, or closer to the goal than they could legally as they always do it at the midpoint. It's psychological shite at best.

[Giggles]

Soccer players are thick as mince though so they probably don't realise.

[Lewis]

Raheem Sterling setting anti-racism back forty years there.

[niko_cee]

That's a special effort from Leicester. Three of the worst penalties you are ever likely to see (outside of Raheem's effort).

Maddinson in particular televised which way he was going so clearly even I knew where he was going, then he dribbles it that way to boot.

[Lewis]

Stuttered run-ups also going right out of fashion.

[Jimmy Floyd]

lol I just noticed River lost their world semi-final to Al-Forty Lashes. Without looking, I predict that nerd football twitter will be in floods of tears over that.

Burton into the pot semis as well, wouldn't mind us drawing and losing to them.

[niko_cee]

Not enough micro-steps.

Fuck knows what a long-haired Turkish centre-half was doing with a double stutter. Mate, just put your foot through it. You're a centre-half, that's what you're meant to do.

Gundogan's was poor as well, but the 'keeper botched it.

I agree it's a pretty weird choice, but he'll probably do fine in the same way I'd do fine as Man Utd on Football Manager.

[phonics]

The Napoli owner,

“Sarri was against all, put the posters on the street, then managed to be loved even by the most extreme fans,” he told Corriere dello Mezzogiorno.


“He is an individualist, one who worked on the fields and on the ground, in the middle of the stones and suffered because he was exonerated after six games.


“Then he had the ride from C to A and when we lost 4-2 against him, I thought he was the right one.


”Sarri seemed a mild person, I discovered that he was too dissatisfied with his past. For a communist, basing everything on money god led to a syndrome of unbearability. I told him, ‘But who do we buy?’, And he said he did not want to know anything about it. I found him out of sight, his wife could not come to the stands.”

Even when translated into English, Italian is just a load of gibberish.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I didn't check back beyond the last two years but he has definitely missed the last two rainbow laces games with unexplained short-term 'illness', or maybe it was a back tweak this year.

Is it really that mental to think a devout Muslim might avoid supporting gays?

Considering he was out with an 'illness' once after being out in Berlin at his mates birthday in a gay bar not long before a match. Yeah kind of.

It also doesn't explain the other countless examples of him being 'ill' when the campaigns not going on. Safer to just assume he's a homophobe because he's a bloody muzza though.

[Vercetti]

I can't work out who has the most punchable face, "Dele" or "JLingz".

Fucking rave party at Molineux. Cafe del mar :rave:

[phonics]

Sancho on one of those runs where absolutely everything goes in.

1076209728856834049

I'm on the Sancho train but that should never get to the keeper let alone past him.

[Baz]

Alisson is boss.

A few mistakes can be forgiven, that man will win Klopp a league title.

[bruhnaldo]

This Sancho kid came out of nowhere to me? I hadn't even heard of him before this season I don't think.

[Bernanke]

This Sancho kid came out of nowhere to me? I hadn't even heard of him before this season I don't think.

Tends to be that way with 18-year olds.

[bruhnaldo]

Well usually the name rings a bell from various youth tournaments or whatever but that's fair.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That was a cracking ball in by Salah.

[Waffdon]

Man City at home to absolute shite once again. Same with Arsenal. Shambles.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I checked the fixtures and City in the second half still have to go away to pretty much every team below 6th. They seem to have played them all at the murder stadium already.

[Waffdon]

Aubameyang is a right don.

[phonics]

Burnley tried to kick the shit out of us and instead of capitulating we kicked them back which was nice.

[Jimmy Floyd]

To this day it's hilarious how much of a moral journey Arsenal fans go on when they play teams like Burnley and Stoke. The Brexit vote hasn't helped either.

[Danny]

Thats a lovely finish from Schlupp, however knowing how bad he is I cant help but think it was a cross.

Edit: Holy fucking shit Andros Townsend.

[Trancemeister]

Fucking hell what a goal that is from Towsend.

Christ

[SvN]

Liquid football.

[Giggles]

Ah for fuck sake. This is all just lining up.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Play that one out from the back.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Chelsea game stats are saying 75% possession in 45 minutes and 0 shots on target, anyone would think we need a functioning centre forward.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Townsend :drool:

[Waffdon]

Chelsea game stats are saying 75% possession in 45 minutes and 0 shots on target, anyone would think we need a functioning centre forward.

Or a decent winger.

[Jimmy Floyd]

We have three decent wingers, these are the games when Diego Costa would pick the ball up and bury one for a 1-0 in 2016/17.

[Waffdon]

Absolutely bang average in comparison to any other top team. ‘CHO’ should be playing if anything

[Lewis]

That Townsend goal is the best one here for years.

[Kikó]

Liverpool will win the league easily this year.

[Lewis]

Don't say that.

[Kikó]

Just get used to it now and it'll make it easier. 😪

[SvN]

I reckon http://www.haveliverpoolwonthepremierleagueyet.com would get some traffic if they manage it.

[Danny]

City all over the place here. Walker got the ball there for me but being reckless I see why its given.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Roy Hodgson is my spirit animal.

[John Arne]

Goal pie all over his face.

[Waffdon]

Pedro is putting in the worst performance of the decade here.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

[Jimmy Floyd]

We are playing like late Wenger Arsenal this season. Load of absolute meaningless toss.

[Kikó]

4-4 fucking 2.

[Lewis]

I was hoping to see Matic dropped. Maybe the first home game.

[Giggles]

In better news.

Man like Obafemi.

He's our youngest ever PL scorer.

[Giggles]

Man like Obafemi.

He's our youngest ever PL scorer.

Ours too.

[Jimmy Floyd]

A completely empty Hull ground has just seen Wilfried Bony RIFLE one in after three minutes. Love the Championship.

[Lewis]

Could see United winning the league from here.

[randomlegend]

Still far from perfect in terms of execution, but the difference in intent between this and under Jose is astonishing.

[Disco]

It's noticeably less gopping to watch as well.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Let's fucking go bananas here lads.

[Ian]

A bit on the live text said that Cardiff couldn't get near the ball which, even against a shit team, is literally the opposite of how we looked previously.

[randomlegend]

A bit on the live text said that Cardiff couldn't get near the ball which, even against a shit team, is literally the opposite of how we looked previously.

It is literally the opposite to a Mourinho performance. Pressing when we lose the ball, attacking intent in possession, moving the ball quickly, players expressing themselves. It's like watching a different team.

[Shindig]

Nowt really to say about today. One man up top versus five defenders. At least it's a point over Burnley but we have a big Christmas coming up.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Surely a shoulder...

[randomlegend]

Surely a shoulder...

Yeah looked harsh to me tbh.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

That goal was beautiful.

[randomlegend]

What a fucking goal.

Give Ole a permanent contract right now.

[Danny]

One touch fast football. Hold me ffs

[randomlegend]

Mourinho blaming the players for not being good enough :harold:

Cunt.

[-james-]

What a fucking goal.

Give Ole a permanent contract right now.

:harold:

[randomlegend]

:harold:

I'm not serious mate...

[SvN]

I thought the penalty was harsh. Looked like his shoulder to me.

Great first half for us. Still a few sloppy passes from Lingard and Pogba, but our mentality seems a million miles ahead of where it's been in pretty much every other game this season.

[Danny]

You didn’t get the memo? If we win Ole is the best, if we lose it’s Mouronho/Carricks fault!

[Lewis]

Would love to have seen Lukaku kill that third goal in the womb.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Does this mean that the players weren't trying in the first 17 games or is it Mourinho's fault for telling them not to try?

[randomlegend]

Does this mean that the players weren't trying in the first 17 games or is it Mourinho's fault for telling them not to try?

It's Mourinho's fault for coaching them to play a cowardly style and giving them no freedom to attack.

[Smjffy]

City dropping points was unexpected. I had that down to happen with a draw against Everton but you'll take what help you can get.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lindelof is having fun tonight.

He's constantly marauding forward.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lovely ball by Pogba.

First time we've hit 5 in a Premiership match since Fergie's last match at 5-5.

[Lewis]

Yeah, and who was there that day... Mike Phelan. :lewis:

[Lewis]

Der, der, der, der... (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NA_4MLj1Ukg) Michael Phelan.
