    It just heightens the importance of a manager and a focal point on the pitch, really. Real minus Zidane and Ronaldo, PSG with their expensive ensemble cast being undone by mercenary managers, Barca losing the engine room of Xavi and Iniesta, etc.

    United 1998/99 would more than likely be given the runaround, since they were hardly the most sophisticated side (not that anybody was back then), but the 2007/08 team would defend them to death and then run them over.

    Noticed that ross barkley has removed his arm tattoos. I seem to picture him with a large neck tattoo but I cant find any evidence of it.

    Yeah, I remember reading about it a few months ago. Apparently he's been covering them up for years because he was so embarrassed by them.

    Dimitar Berbatov is on Goals on Sunday and is wonderfully entertaining. He said earlier that Guendouzi 'pissed him off' due to being good at 19, and the presenters had to jump in apologising for foul language. Ofcom can fuck right off, such a load of shit.

    I wouldn't say Guendouzi is good. He just seems completely average to me. He does nothing great. He is just Wilshere with locks.

    He's playing regularly for one of the top Premier League clubs, I'd say he's quite good.

    They would have won the 2011/12 title had he not been weirdly sidelined for Danny fucking Welbeck.

    Sterlings made a statement about the racist stuff yesterday and The Sun have cropped out about 3/4s of it that talks about the media's role in it all.

    I twitter searched this for a clip and I did not know there are scores of people VERY ANGRY at goals on sunday all the time. Like one of every team accusing them of bias.

    Football twitter is absolutely septic. Worse than politics twitter. Fans of every club (right down to tiny tinpot teams in League Two) think there is a massive media conspiracy against them. They always support the club propaganda unit against journalists (no matter what).

    'Same old, same old: there's one rule for Swindon Town, one rule for everyone else '

    I think the worst club twitters I have seen are Leeds (vile people), Wolves, and probably Brentford (smug cunts on the horrendous losing run they so richly deserve).

    I'm so glad I grew out of that. Until I was about 16 I was similarly convinced the media/referees/whoever were out to get West Brom, then realised nobody gives a fuck about West Brom.

    The worst are Liverpool and Arsenal by a comfortable margin.

    Liverpool Twitted invented the victim complex and taught it to the rest of them. Arsenal Twitter is bi-polar. All of them.

    Someone I went to uni with was absolutely 100% adamant that the FA, and by extension the refs, had an agenda against Villa. If you queried it, he'd speak to you as if you were a total mentalist for not agreeing with him.

    Watching a Villa match in the same room as him was a nightmare. Every decision or goal that went against them was "absolutely ridiculous". If a replay showed it to be right, then the argument would change to "What about 6 weeks ago when we didn't get a similar decision?". I haven't spoken to him in about 5 years, so I've no idea if being relegated has made him worse or made him chill out a bit.

    Chelsea Twitter is probably the worst these days. The Arsenal lot are finally happy; United are resigned to just talking Dave Gayer up and moaning; City Twitter is staffed entirely by thirteen year olds and 'Pep' fan accounts; and the Scousers bring too much of their general insufferableness into it to condemn them merely on football grounds. Meanwhile, the Chelsea accounts all seem to operate from the same script, presumably because they're all the work of a particular sort of identikit tosser called Rich/Will/Sam.

    I find Chelsea twitter to be full of straight up weirdos. It's a bit like Arsenal Twitter circa 2010, but with fewer ethnic minorities.

    They seem to have declared victory on the Eden Hazard issue, so they've all moved on to a concerted effort to boast the best 'keeper in the league. Speaking of which, I like the style of this Boca maniac between the sticks.

    Our keeper (he has no name) is quite fun but he isn't better than De Gea.

    The Hazard issue remains but Kanté signing a five year deal was a pleasant surprise. I thought twatalona would be in for him.

    Top man Kante wouldn't accept their tax arrangements.

    Kante is a mug. When he ends up kipping on floors like Emmanuel Eboue he deserves no sympathy whatsoever.

    The theory goes we're overpaying to nail down our players because we (and Manchester City) have hefty transfer bans incoming.

    Football just seems to have a natural culture of violent aggression. You can see it at any level of the game. Look what we all subject referees to just for making a vague attempt to do their job.

    I've always thought it's because it's a working class game and often all people have in their lives, but there are other working class games which seem to manage ok.

    It seems like a bit of a non sequitur to me. The media bullshit around him can still be bullshit without necessarily being to blame for that bloke there showing himself up. Something tells me he is not a particularly well-adjusted individual away from the sidelines.

    Good call.

    Another officiating horror show which only hastens the approach of the VARpocalypse. Offside goal, probably should have sent Mina off at the end there. Oh dear.

    Kabisele must have had a fairly big lay on his own team tonight.

    What a div.

    For all the promise Everton have apparently been showing this season they weren't half dreadful tonight, and, I assume, probably the other night as well.

    I expect to see a ten minute emergency broadcast of this Sky Sports racism debate across all available channels. Hopefully Richard Keys and Andy Gray have a crack at calling him a soft cunt who should go home if he has a problem.

    Gary Neville was well and truly disappearing down the rabbit hole at points during his monologue.

    Racist abuse, Brexit, did he get the rise of Trump in there?

    He very probably started it all himself with the dismissive tone he took towards foreign muck displacing good, honest bread and butter in ordinary, decent restaurants.
