    Well I guess it depends on your approach. If you just sit and ignore it knowing you'll never get on in a game where your creativity might be useful it could be pretty stress free.

    I suppose you haven’t seen the Chelsea highlights then.

    Hes awful, three games in a row he's let us down now. Emergency GK loan before the weekend apparently.

    I was sort of at a loss to understand why he was getting hammered so much, but didn't realise his being injured led to that bizarre freekick dropback from Ward-Prowse. I'm doubtful that that cover story is really true, and it was more of wacky modern tactic gone wrong, but hey ho.

    Started doing a long post about reactionary football media after seeing a ‘Chelsea get hammered’ headline before realising the very obvious pun.

    They do actually look like a different team. Aaron Wan-Dyspraxia is done for.

    United are just playing with a bit of energy which is clearly what we've lacked all season. Full backs who can attack as well is pretty cool as well.

    Great playacting by Kasper to have that goal ruled out but it still requires retardedness by the referee. That can't be a rule, can it?

    Micah Richards and Leon Osman trying to argue with the use of legalese. A mark of the times if ever we needed one.

    Absolutely ridiculous. Isn't the rule that it has to be in the keeper's two hands to be under his control?

    Apparently the rule is 1 hand and the ground is sufficient for the 'keeper to be in control of the ball, so the decision was technically correct.

    They really should just scrap the tast 20 years of tinkering and go back to the drawing board... then don't draw on it. Every time they add a layer of context, they just create new ways of annoying people.

    An attempt at (over)protection, but it won't really protect a keeper in this case as every player is going to go for that ball with the keeper stretching his hand out to touch it. That said, I liked seeing Pope get knocked about 15 yards out of his goal and get nothing out of it against Newcastle.

    United already look like a Ralf Rangnick team. The way they pressed and played with so much directness going forward was pure Ralf, especially in the first 30 minutes.

    True. I have watched every RB Leipzig match in the last five years, and that is exactly how they play. Total Ralf performance.

    Don't know about a Ralf performance but definitely a new manager performance. I've seen United to that sort of high energy first few games a number of times now until they get bored and throw the towel in.

    Still, a clean sheet was nice.

    It reminded me of the first few games under interim-Solksjaer, where everyone was running their bollocks off. We'll see if it lasts.

    ‘That’s 100% intentional’
    ‘Do you think it’s a red card?’
    ‘I can see why they haven’t given it’

    What?

    That’s a joke of an offside and hopefully a sign of why the rule doesn’t work.

    Foot to foot. It was clearly further ahead of the other guys foot. It’s a stupid rule not a stupid application of the rule.
