Football

I enjoyed the (very delayed) artificial boos for the Norwich red card.

I wonder if they've got a recording of "the referee's a wanker" or "you don't know what you're doing."

I must regretfully inform you the New York Times is attributing Liverpool FC and FSG success to “Merseyball”

we deserve penalties

We might just get them

Tim Krul probably fancies them

Boo!!

I thought of you as Maguire scored.

The shit.

yep. gutted.

am such a plastic united fan.

Oh well, no trip to Wembley this year...hold on, you know what I mean!

Thought the three reserves United brought on looked decent; Martial, Rashford and Pogba. Expect they’ll be starting games soon...

Dwight Gayle won't sleep well tonight.

I get the feeling that if Newcastle had scored, it might have spurred City on a bit anyway and they'd have won in any case.

The beautiful game:

That was awesome though. Lad bouncing around off the screen at the end too was pretty funny.

Our worst performance of the season, possibly. Couldn't hold onto the ball,. Just sloppy.

Luckily, a lot of starters were rested and so will be back to fuller strength for the run in. Liverpool only "big six (or is it seven with Leicester no?) left for us to play and they won't have anything to play for then. That said, Wolves are close behind us and Sheffield still in the mix. West Ham Watford and Norwich all have something to fight for and Palace will always have a pop and so no easy games but none that we can't win.

Also, if Leicester couldn't win at home yesterday, they may well slip from third place.

Our season just keeps getting even more mental. Hope Andre recovers quickly after this.

heal up andre, always liked him at liverpool

This is really strange.

On the one hand, great that a problem has been recognised and people are going to do something about it. Obviously Ron Atkinson was at one extreme, but the whole "pace and power" cliché and this research shows there's an underlying problem that will hopefully be addressed.

On the other hand - Tyldsley sounds like he's pre-emptively saying "it's not me/us" before the research has even been analysed or digested, and doesn't sound like he's been particularly reflective on his own practice.

Not a bad kit, 8/10.

I was a bit confused reading that. I couldn't work out whether it was something that Tyldsey had been pushing for a long time but it hadn't been getting traction and he was a bit pissed off it had taken so long or whether it was a there is a problem but it's not me guv.

Looks quite nice just not a classic sponcer logo. I liked the simple yokahama tyres.

Actually looks really nice, particularly if you can buy without the shirt sponsor.

West Ham's continued use of their bubble machines strikes me as spectacularly unnecessary.

Fucks sake Chelsea.

Werner and Ziyech wondering what the fuck they've done, signing up for Europa League next season

Worked, though.
