    Aye, United spend 15 minutes rolling around under the slightest contact and then Fernandes gets away with a fairly shocking challenge there. Plus ca change.

    15 mins in and I'll be fucked if I'm watching this shitfest. No Saka leaves that side useless and for the others, I'd rather just have a wank at xvideos if I want to see this many cunts.

    Do we think McTominay has the shits and is putting every single ounce of energy into not doing it on the pitch?

    I remember when I fell during a game of whatever the fuck on gravel and grazed my elbow and hip badly. I was headed inside in agony when my PE teacher made me stand in the winter sub-zero temperature, blood running down my limbs to explain to him why I was rushing inside.

    You could spin that into a sob story on the BBC website.

    Fernandes getting into a fight with Xhaka and then raking his studs down Xhakas Achilles with no card means he’s definitely scoring the winner.

    If Martinelli isn't injured that's a mental decision to bring him off.

    It's Martinelli, he's always injured.

    There's something quite disconcerting about Bellerin's shorts.

    Yeah, after a good game against Fulham first up he's looking more and more like a classic Arsenal contract case. How many years left at £250k-a-week?

    2 and a half. Absolutely awful. I’m not sure we’ve ever got a good deal off a rival.

    I see Celtic lost today. Rangers can't actually be all that far off winning the league up there, although they do have that funny split thing, don't they?

    They need 20 points from 12, assuming Celtic win the rest, so more or less done. Losing at home to St Mirren is good comedy value, although I see they are actually Scotland's 6th best side.

    Motherwell are another of life's constants. Don't believe they have ever gone down in my lifetime, but also haven't done anything.

    As for Willian, he is just a contract player. Always was. If he wants another one he'll put in an amazing six month stint at the end of this one. We knew this by the end which was why he utterly refused to sign a one year deal no matter how much we offered him - he just wants easy money. Arsenal were stupid enough to fall for it.

    Stupid enough to fall for it or doing a favour to his agent for access to future deals. I think it’s the latter.

    Like I don’t think Kia gets you 50 million quid each for shipping Oscar and Ramires off to China if you don’t take Pato on for a year as some sort of charity transfer.

    Our previous director of football immediately resigned the week a lawyer looked at the Pepe deal and hasn’t been involved in football since. At this point I just assume 90% of transfers are massively corrupt.

    I think I could stand about on the left, control the ball, turn back and pass 5 yards for only 180k a week.

    I did think it a bit odd how Frank Lampard just summarily dismissed David Luiz from his sight as soon as he was appointed / the other way round, perhaps. Is there a published list anywhere of which players and managers are on whose books? Would make interesting reading.

    It’s been reported why Luiz was dumped out. Apparently called him Frank instead of Boss/Gaffer. Lampard thought it undermined him.

    Why is Cedric taking free kicks? That’s Kane-on-corners levels of stupid.

    David Luiz hasn’t scored one in 4 years and still gets to take them. I gave up questioning that stuff ages ago.

    Willian is getting bullied in these Arsenal free-kick taker decisions. My guess would be he has scored more career free kicks than all of Arsenal combined, yet on the edge of the box from the left. Cedric is blasting it over the bar.

    Maybe Williams got a goal/assist bonus that would bankrupt us and he’s just trying to be a good club man.

    David Luiz getting man of the match for ‘celebrating blocking a free kick’ might just be the best summary of the quality of this game.

    The correct answer is Pepe or Wan-Bissaka.

    This has been wank. United's good players are knackered, and I would take Willian or any other cripple to play on the right.

    Fernandes’ goal contributions in 2020 so far amount to a free kick and a penalty. Paging @Don

    Are you suggesting Bruno has nothing to his game beside set-pieces and the odd goal contribution against goat herders? I won't have it.

    On Rangers, Atletico might have La Liga wrapped up before they win the league

    1 goal in 6 big games is that for United now? It's pitiful, but also great of the likes of Brighton, West Ham and Southampton to have effectively kept Ole in the job for the foreseeable by completely inexplicably losing their games against them.

    South American football really loses its allure without fans.

    Can see why they have to distract themselves with ticker tape and drums with each team taking a turn to roll around on the floor for 5 minutes

    As if being forced to spend my Saturday evening watching a Southampton - Villa training kickabout to save some obese fucks wasn't bad enough, they make penalty calls like that to rub in just how fucking shit this sport currently is.

    “Luis Longstaff” is definitely an FM regen IRL. I’m not buying any other explanation.

    Scanning the lineups - the only player I recognise is 33 year old Luiz Adriano. Usually the best Brazilian sides have a couple of mavericks who’ve decided to spend their prime years in their home country. No wonder the standard is poor.

    If the league standing is anything to go by this is the equivalent of a West Ham/Villa Champions League final

    Jorge Jesus absolutely donned the entire continent, if I was an average European coach I'd head over there to beat the piss out these binmen.

    The absolute state of this;

    And obviously, if 'the sleeve' is now the hand ball line Sam Allardyce is, well, I was going to say having some singlets made up as we speak, but he'll just send them out in skins.

    Wait a minute, that's the wrong way round isn't it? Long sleeves covering the hand all round!
