Heads have gone alert in the Atletico ranks.

This ref is awesome.![]()
I'm sure Peter Walton was talking absolute bobbins then. Since when do two yellow offences add up to a straight red?
I see Varane is out for a month again after doing his hamstring in. He’ll be retired by 31
Yeah, I wouldn't hold last season in much stead. He'd probably bang them in like Toney.
Oxlade-Chamberlain's been decent tonight. Encouraging to see.
I've not seen the red card incident, but going off the live text, isn't it one of your case in point should be a red card situations where a player just cynically kicks/trips another player with no regard for the ball [which usually gets a knowing 'taking one for the team' yellow card]?
I posted that many moons before the red card, but yes and no - it should be (for me, Clive) but by current rules I don't think it was much of a red. 'Soft', perhaps.
I enjoyed the red more so because Felipe did that thing where they ignore and disrespect the ref after being asked to come back to speak with him.
The Greek's delivery makes Trent look like a BLM Tony Hibbert. I don't want to see that fucking exhausted Scottish tramp in our line-up until we face some actual opposition and need to defend (so semis).
That red card is amazing.
I'm all for that sort of petty shithousery being stamped on [both the snidey trip, not a red, and the refusal to go and see the ref, lol].
Yeah, I usually defend refs with the amount of shit they have to put up with - but I've never been a fan of referee's demanding a player walk 40 metres towards them like some naughty schoolboy. Just wave the yellow card at him and get on with it.
Can't just wave the yellow at them, ref has a duty to make sure they see it. Hence why they wait patiently for players to get up off the floor and then book them. Otherwise could be grounds for appeal 'didn't know I'd been booked the first time/in that game, guv'.
I mean you can talk and make eye contact with someone without them being stood 2 feet in front of you. But yeah, I get your point.
Word is that Eddie Howe has signed a deal to join Newcastle.
Howe-aye, the lads.
I think he died the other week.![]()

Howe is renowned for his transfer acumen so this should be interesting![]()
We bought them.
I think I'm the only one here who believes he's going to be a decent manager for Newcastle. Could have done a lot worse. Plus it's good to have someone who can manage Championship quality.
He'll feel that one tomorrow.
Oof. I think the ref was reaching for a card but I bet it was yellow.![]()
Is Smith not facked? They look largely hopeless. Chucking on dogshit kids and Keinan Davis ffs.
Grealish benched, City to rape them.
I honestly can't think of a footballer less enjoyable to watch than Cristiano Ronaldo. He's just a complete me-me-me ponce.
United miss the first chance, the other teams walks it back up the other end and scores. 2nd time in 2 weeks.
Bailly
Better with Phil Jones.
City need to play it cool here, don't want things getting out of hand.
Strange that cause Bailly was getting mad plaudits for similar desperate last-gasp challenges against Atalanta owing to his horrific positioning in midweek
Bruno's work-rate in closing the cross too. You absolutely love to see it.
I get what he means. As great as he is or has been, Cristiano does demand it be the Ronaldo show.
Shame De Gea has found form again, he's their best player. Keeping them in this so far.
Not much defending on show today at the theatre of erstwhile dreams.
I hear Steve Bruce is available and can organise a defence.
You’re being harsh on him there Adra, you’ve missed out good manager. A manager that nobody wants admittedly, but good manager nonetheless.
I flicked on livescore expecting to see 3 or 4 nil.
Why isn’t Rashford playing? He’s what you need on the break if you’re playing this way. Scores for fun against City too
What the fuck was that![]()

No idea how that’s squeezed in.
Zidane in.
Shaw was an absolute mess there
I’m sadly missing this. Another first half special from the binman?
He's gone, isn't he? What a run we had though. Get me Zidane, Poch or the ghost of Shankly, ain't no one making a success out of the likes of Maguire, Shaw and AWB so I reckon a few more years of lol to milk.
Honestly who thought 'giving him the Tottenham game' was a solution? If the club aren't bothered about competing why should anyone watch them?
