Easy home draw whilst City away to Spurs and Villa away to Chelsea. The retarded quad is ON.

Away at Wednesday the weekend after we play Wednesday away. Glad it's been a full two weeks since we last played them, otherwise it'd be a bit samey
You can tell Maloney is a disciple of Bobby Martinez, some sexy af football but it will finish 0-4 with that madness at the back.
Someone just needs to take Anthony Taylor out back and shoot him.
Or all Portuguese people.
Bruno going down that easy against Wigan
I feel like we play Norwich a lot, so Bristol would be welcome visitors.
Backing us to score 4, you're an embarrassment.Originally Posted by Don

Rashford's performance there would be mind-boggling if his manager didn't have the aura of a 55 year-old virgin. He's tough on Sancho/Ronaldo/etc but he can't make Rashford pass after a year of coaching
It was a proper highlight reel from him tonight. Such a thicko.
Yeah, but I bet the Wigan center halves have got proper stinging shins from the amount of times the ball was blasted at them.
It was a pen, probably best not to dive in in the box if you don't want to give away a foul in the box.Bruno going down that easy against Wigan
Only because it's a non-contact sport now. The fella brushed his toe. If Bruno stays on his feet the referee probably thinks there was no contact at all.
Not a penalty and not a dive for me. There is contact but not enough to justify a penalty.
Paul Scholes is 100% an autist.
Also - how good is football without VAR?
Knowing you can celebrate a goal when it goes in is so joyous. I think that's the biggest thing with VAR the complete loss of any spontaneity and it's a thousand times worse when you are at the ground.
Errrr
She's probably 33.
Fairly standard Muslim behaviour tbf.
I thought there were some good comments on the BBC livetext about this today:
The advent of VAR in football has utterly sapped the soul out of the best part of the game: the scoring of a goal. Now, as the ball hits the back of the net, instead of erupting into ecstatic cheers, we find ourselves mired in a maddening limbo, our joy on a leash, as we await the cold, clinical verdict of a video replay. This isn't the football I fell in love with; this isn't the sport where spontaneous jubilation united strangers in collective euphoria. The game's fluidity is now constantly interrupted by jarring stoppages, referees second-guessing themselves, and fans bewildered by perplexing rulings. It feels like we're trading the game's human heart for technological precision, but what's the point if it strips away the raw emotion, the very essence of football? We wanted fairness, but not at the cost of the game's soul, not if it means the purest form of happiness in the sport is diluted by the sterile anticipation of approval from an unseen, all-seeing electronic eye. Football was never meant to be perfect; it's the flaws, the human errors, and the instant drama that gave it its life. VAR, is turning our beautiful, flowing game into a stop-start spectacle that's as much about waiting as it is about watching. Get rid.I've always drawn the equivalence to how DRS ruined LBW decisions in cricket, from a spectator's perspective. Imagine how different the 2005 Ashes would have been had Damian Martyn not been [wrongly] given out LBW every time he came to bat. Perhaps spectator sports should put the interests of the spectator above what other perceived interests are being served by way of technology.Without VAR decisions are subjective. With VAR decisions are subjective. We get the same number of mistakes and opinions/interpretation differences./ controversies. The difference being VAR comes at the expense of spontaneous excitement. Scrap it.
There's also the fact that many of sport's most enduring moments are generally some form of cheating, or, at least where there is an element of contentiousness. I always thought Peter Stringer's response to what happened to him in that Heineken Cup final was fascinating, for example, but is very much emblematic of an entirely different point of view from the modern fan or participant.
Of course I had to find the data to back up my prejudices. Shout out to Afghanistan getting men's dicks into them more or less straight from the womb. Allahu Akbar.

The game is not for the fans.
Calvert-Lewin's had his red card overturned.
Good process lads.
If you think the game is for the fans, you don't know anything about the game.
Niger seem to be a nonce nation.
Pepe's mob seem a bit all over the place as well on the age of consent.
If Middlesbrough forwards have any pace they could easily get at that Chelsea slug fest at the back assuming they play on the break
Never understand why them challenges aren’t given as fouls. Slide in for a block and wipe the striker out after they take a shot
Application of rule as stated by Jimmy in relation to goalies wiping people out at corners.
Well the guy Disaster just crocked is rapid and his replacement is slow as fuck.
Just the two players out of position from Pochettino. He’s slowly getting there
Best not even looking at Afghanistan.
Palmer as a ‘false 9’ going as well as expected. Imagine not starting a fucking striker against a mid table championship team with half a team missing through injury
Sack him at half time. Please for the love of god.
They could still end up winning this comfortably, but Chelsea are pathetic. No fight or urgency in anything.
Striker curse is real. Palmer gets moved there and has missed 3 sitters.
That second injury will cost us. It meant putting Clarke on against Palmer/Madueke and he's the very definition of a bomb scare.
I think football fans have very short memories. If you wind back to pre VAR times, the majority were calling for video replays. Now we have it we want rid of it. People should be careful what they wish for/bitch and moan about.
I include myself in that.
Watch the dinosaur bring Mudryk and Broja on but keeps Sterling out there
I'm not sure most people were, see the thread on VAR in here when it first came about, and even if the majority football fans were, the majority of people are fucking idiots lacking almost any power of foresight, so that's hardly surprising.
The impressive thing is that I'm not sure even the sceptics thought it'd become as harmful/rubbish as it has.
House on my street has stuck an A4 poster up in a bedroom window. Pink sheet with the Premier League logo on with the word CORRUPT underneath. That’ll show em!
I'm a twit
I'm not sure that matters in this case as it's seriously damaging the product as an entertainment offering as well. I don't know whether they had to introduce it as UEFA/FIFA were, but either way, the Premier League (who're one of the few vaguely competent bodies in top level football) should take the lead on this one and bin it off.

Middlesbrough look like they’ve got a fan in their goal and they’ve still got a clean sheet. Some effort
As someone who was against it from the off my main concern was the impact it would have on marginal offside goals that we'd have to continually wait for the review of (as refs/linesman naturally rely more and more on it), but not only have they fisted that by checking far more than the marginal stuff, they've also seen fit to bring other 'infringements' during that check into the equation, and utterly cunted every single other application of it too.
We didn't even get to see what its use for 'clear and obvious errors' only would have looked like either as as soon as the toys were available they were being used more than a crack addict's pipe. It's horrid and anyone who still thinks it's a good idea is as close to a certifiable moron as you can get. Bin it and bin it now.
He's tragic isn't he.
Our usual keeper is bench warming at AFCON.

Surely they sack him now. How many embarrassing results do you want in one season after spending a billion squid
Keep the faith, a few more £250m transfer windows and they'll get there. Still plenty of young talent to auction off to pay for Victor Osimhen's future long term girlfriend turned bride.
