You know I thought AWB got well skinned a couple times only for the final ball to not be there for whomever Sterling was looking for.
Aside from that what a day. Was pretty fucking nervy there at the end.

Leicester will probably come unstuck against Man City and ourselves tbf but a top four spot would be a brilliant achievement. I highly doubt it will last long enough to sustain a title challenge but then who am I to doubt a team with more title winning experience than us.
When did Iheanacho get good again?
Is this the start of Sheffield United's plummet?
What's Grealish's price up to now, Mellin?
Fuck Rice, but Grealish
That's a lovely header.
Good lad Stevens.
Is that right about Vardy retiring from England, and when was it? The news completely passed me by.
He packed it in after the World Cup.
2 points off Europe. What scenes.
Steve Bruce is donning everyone this year. Should take over from Southgate when we go out in the group stage.
Rangers and big Alfredo
He should have about three goals and Rangers should be romping it. Ooops.
Probably should delete this lol

Not a hope Connolly has a dead leg from the sounds of that. Something has happened.
HAHAHAHAHHHAHHAHH. He’s a fucking mess
Well this has got nice and heated now.
“Adama” looks like he should be playing for Leeds Rhinos.
After the Vardy revelation that’s a new one on me too. Have Brighton really not won at home since the got promoted?
Morelos is some boy. An absolute bottle merchant when it comes to Celtic. Just surprised he hasn’t lost his head more.
That you Keeks?

They've won three this season alone.
Perhaps they have't won after going behind at home, they tend to fold in such situations (not today though).
They beat Everton a few months back after going behind, I know this as I was on Everton and I think Digne put in his own net. Someone did.
Random. Joaquin at 38 scored his first-ever hat-trick for Betis in a 3-2 win.
It's fine margins but he seems to have organised us better against the big sides. Defenders are scoring where our strikers aren't but at least Carroll's provided a big lump to launch it to. Jethro and Saint Maximin have added extra pace to the midfield as well. In some respects, it's a better team but we do miss the goals at the top.
Rafa didn't surpass this points tally last season until January 29th (the Man City win). This time around, we've scored 4 more goals and conceded 1 more. The main thing about last season is how well Rondon started to score after November and then Perez wrapped the year up strongly.
Rashford is on his game. 5 goals in his last 5 premier league games. 37 goals in the league now. The same as legends like Ayoze Pérez, Benni McCarthy and Salomon Kalou.
0.29 goals per game is the same as Louis Saha, Gareth Bale, Mario Balotelli, Djibril Cissé, Frank Lampard and Diafra Sakho. There are 109 players with a better goals per game ratio than Marcus.
He's just turned 22 though. Not really a fair comparison to line his scoring record up against those of players at peak age.
Rashford and United won me £1,500 this weekend. The man's a don.
Age is irrelevant. He has appeared in over 150 premier league games and completed over 8000 minutes. He has a ton of experience.
Goal stats under the age of 23
Goals per game - 66th
Total goals - 13th
8000 minutes is about 90 games, not 150 so I'm not really sure goals per game is the one here. Who's above him in that list? Is there a minimum appearance requirement or is it just a load of small samples?
Also seems a bit odd to be raising his scoring record during what is by the best goal scoring season he's ever had.
I started watching his number since Lukaku left as he and Martial are now the main men at the club.
Players at 23 with similar stats to Rashford
48 goals. 0.37 GPG - Chris Sutton
46 goals. 0.30 GPG - Emile Heskey
42 goals. 0.33 GPG - Dele Alli
41 goals. 0.31 GPG - Jermain Defoe
37 goals. 0.29 GPG - Marcus Rashford
37 goals. 0.35 GPG - Robbie Keane
36 goals. 0.25 GPG - Gabriel Agbonlahor
30 goals. 0.31 GPG - Anthony Martial
It looks like it’s coming from the other end to me.
He gets a lot of stick for not scoring enough, but given his minutes played, age and an employee of Man Utd, he is doing OK. We are just used to Man Utd strikers dropping 20+ league goals a season. He is at 10 goals and we are halfway through.
Woops. Even reading it back though it seems ambiguous as to the point Sincere was trying to make though.
It's still not good enough though. You can add Martial into that category as well although in Rashfords defence when Martial isn't there he has to rely on shit service throughout. I don't see him as an out and out goalscorer but you have to bare in mind he's only recently turned 22 and really I think he's got a bit of a raw deal at Man United more so under lvg and Mourinho.
He got a raw deal under the manager that gave him his debut at 17?
He may have given him his debut (or rather was forced to do so) but he still got a raw deal, yes.
