Someone is going to have to explain to me what point they thought they were making with that?

Based on the "weareallthesame" I'm guessing they're going IT'S OKAY LADS WE'RE ALL MONKEYS!
Which is.... well, yeah.

A Russian law firm are suing Twitch for £2.1bn for pirate Premiership broadcasts.
My mate received The Guardian Top 100 400 player shortlist. Wayne Rooney was on that shortlist.
Jesus. That's assault! Reminded me of Nigel de Jong's challenge on Alonso albeit with an elbow in the face for good measure.Originally Posted by John Arne
Ancelotti signs for Everton.
To do what?
Racially abuse Kean.
Can't be many teams better at keeping the ball than Brighton in the division.
Shame they do so little with it in the final third.
Pretty sure if Montoya gives that the full Zaha triple barrel roll and asks for a penalty when he goes down he gets it and it sticks on VAR.
Ancelotti seems a perplexing choice for Everton, although I suppose he at least keeps Big Dunc on the staff to probably keep doing whatever he's doing at the moment.
I'm watching it and you're not wrong. Not a bad challenge but it changed the outcome, I reckon.
Zaha nonexistent. £80M? GTFO.
Dan Burn is the man I'm after per the transfer thread. He's a legend. Between him and this White chap that seems to be going great guns at Leeds Brighton seem to have (inadvertently) unearthed a couple of quality players.
Burn must be not far away from thirty. I remember him being a quality signing as a young player from whoever he was at around 2010 in FM. He was a centre back then, which makes sense as a cross between a man and a step ladder.
He's not that old but he's older than I thought he was, 27?
He is a centre-half but seems to have adapted quite well to leftback. He's a defensive Peter Crouch. Great touch for a big man.
He often plays a sort of centre-back/full-back hybrid role. Today was full-back without the ball and pretty much centre-back with the ball.
Good game that. Frustrating, but enjoyable nonetheless. You're right though, niko - our quality on the ball doesn't quite translate into chances. At the moment some quality finishing from Maupay is getting us points.
I know he was quiet last season but Gross for £3m must be one of the best Premier League era bargains.
Ancelotti is good at keeping things ticking and keeping everyone onside. Motivating this lot? It's a very strange choice.
Maybe they keep Dunc around for team talks and training violence.
And to racially abuse Moise Kean.
When he was at Chelsea he started off with this fancy dan Joe-Cole-in-the-hole idea, which was a bit Eriksson, so he binned it off fairly quickly and went to the Mourinho formation with Drogba through the middle, the Useless Brothers either side, and Lampard from behind. Scored 100 goals and won the league. Sounds easy, but I think the league was pretty dogshit at that time. A Late Ferguson AI team took us to the last day.
Brighton folk: Is Aaron Connolly going to get a championship loan in Jan? He’s done the sum total of fuck all since Spurs and looks to have been dropped lately.
He's been injured, I think.
Was it not a disciplinary thing?
Picked up a groin injury against Arsenal and is still out.
I'm honestly so surprised at how Dan Burn has turned out - firstly, that he's competent enough to be playing regularly in the Premier League, and secondly, that he'd even try playing full-back again after getting run ragged by Assaidi when Stoke smashed Fulham 4-1 to relegate us in 2014.
He was always a decent prospect when Fulham had him, and he had good loan spells at Birmingham and Yeovil, but never really developed. We only played him at centre-back, barring that one Stoke game, and he was ok for a lower level Championship side, hence us moving him on to Wigan when we brought in the crux of our promotion squad under Jokanovic. I always thought he'd stick around Championship and League One teams.
I did see his only league goal for Fulham, a thumping 90th minute equaliser in a 3-3 draw up at Rotherham on a bitterly cold night in October. With his height, I'm surprised he doesn't score a few more.
We're going to get rinsed tonight against Villa.
Out expected lineup:
Gk - Kelleher
Def - Larouci, van der Berg, Hoever, Boyes
Mid - Kane, Chirivella, Christie-Davies
Att - longstaff, Stewart, Elliot
I've stuck £50 on us at 17/2.
EDIT: That was on Saturday btw but that team isn't as bad as expected. I have doubts that Villa will even stick a strong one out.

We've played the reserves (not the kids) so far, so I'd expect more of the same.
I was hoping as much. I figured given where you find yourselves in the league that you wouldn't take it too seriously given you're possibly the weakest side left if results go as expected (IE, Leicester/Everton/City/United)
That said, it's still bullshit that we have to stick the kids. I can't believe I'm moaning about it either given A) it's the League Cup and B) the only reason we can't field the first team is because we won the European Cup.How times have changed.
Liverpool: Kelleher, Hoever, Boyes, Van den Berg, Gallacher, Chirivella, Christie-Davies, Kane, Longstaff, Hill, Elliott.
Substitutes: Winterbottom, Clayton, Dixon-Bonner, Bearne, Clarkson, Norris, Stewart.
No idea on half of those. Shame for Brewster to be injured. Namesake makes the bench.
Flamengo look like they care about this a lot. Looks as if they've a few shit kickers in there as well.
The South Americans always go for it in the Club World Cup stuff. They have done since the Intercontinental Cup days.
Well that's killed the Villa game off quite early. A shame really but a week off in January probably makes this a win-win. Would love the younglings to fight back into it though
Harvey Elliott has been great dispute the score.
The fallout when they start the comeback.
:-D
Edit: I'd be embarrassed to celebrate tbh ha
I've liked what I've seen from him so far. That being said I don't know how strong this Villa side is.
Good performance though.
EDIT: As I say that...
Van Der Berg really is a terrible player, youngster or not.
Hoever, Elliot, Christie and Chirivella looking good.
What a bizarre comment to make.
Elliot's a don.
Good of the youth to take a season's worth of misfortune in one hit.
How so? Pre-season he looked not so great, previous cup games not looked so great, and apparently he hasn't been great for the U21's all season.
He's young, he may get better, but at the moment, he doesn't look anywhere near good enough.
He's 17, barely been in the country for six months, doesn't speak great English and has zero support or experience alongside him.
You're judging him way too soon. Everyone of them should benefit from the experience. I don't know what you're expecting tbh. They don't even deserve to be 4-0 down either.
Isn't he 17? There are no good 17 year old centre-halves. They're usually absolute toilet until their early 20s at least. I remember watching Tomori at Brighton and thinking who's this joker a few years back. He does look a bit ropey, mind. At least he's sorted his hair a bit.
It feels like Pedro Chirivella has been around since the Roy Hodgson days. Who am I thinking of? Or has he?
I'm not saying he won't turn or to be a good player, simply that this season, he hasn't looked great (even for a young player), and perhaps needs a lot more time before we see him anywhere near the first team, or second team, again.
Yeah, he's not all that young, so it's probably him.
This is the third team, at best.
Not quite that long, but he's been around for 4 or 5 years.
Thanks for that.
I can't believe the Hodgson days were nearly 10 years ago (Chirivella signed in 2013 apparently).
You've seen a lot of Premier League 2 games, I see. All 8 of them that he's featured in according to the Google?
I'm not saying he hasn't been below the standard but you've got to put it into perspective. I've seen him once before today, I didn't form an opinion then, I won't now either.
Quite literally men against boys. That defeat will do some of them some good too.
TTH should sponsor the League Cup cause we talk about it more than literally any other humans on Earth.
