Football

blah blah blah

That's a studs up, off the ground, two footed lunge of a post if ever I saw one. Early bath for you matey.

great win for celtic's B team against (a good, albeit reduced) betis in the UEL. betis have ridiculous strength in depth

out of the UEL but lots to be proud of from this campaign - something to build on next year

And yet only one red card in over 350 games.

BBC are giving you the chance to rank Gerrard's finest Anfield moments. Looks like they missed the finest of them all.

Horrific decision.

VAR is pretty good at not doing what VAR is meant to do.

Jimenez killed that game. Absolutely nuts thing to do. VAR not calling refs to the monitor is very annoying indeed.

Oh well. Losing to a Salah dive is only to be expected.

Lolz! Didn't Mings have his arm wrapped around Salahs leg as he fell over?

Isn’t this your finest moment since about 2004?

The arm across the chest came before he went down. Salah made the most of it but probably a foul on balance. To be clear - I am not a Liverpool fan.

Saturdays big games were all about penalties we didn’t deserve

a penalty given against gerrard's team ?!!! his head must be spinning. presume he'll look to sign (PEN.) from the rangers II in january

someone just take him out back and shoot him, he's done

........ prompting a classic Mourinho press conference. First he refused to take questions, telling journalists: “Your job is a lot easier than ours which is why we earn a lot more than you.”

........ in the space of four days, Mourinho had blamed [ his poor results ] on a referee, injuries, the media, fate and his own players.

stay classy thrushy

Just caught up on the action from yesterday and good to see it wasn’t all penalties. That first goal from Arsenal was rather special and a definite goal of the month contender. No time wasted in the build up at all

I fear this has hurt his chances at the Everton job, which would've been a match made in heaven

Shows the value of "playing it out" nicely. If done well you have controlled possession moving forwards at a retreating defence. And ultimately is not that complicated! Just requires some cojones among the defenders and brains among the midfield to give the angles

and another dodgy penalty. Maddison stuck his leg into Lascelles planted leg there

While peno decision wrong in the other game when Dawson gets ahead of McNeil.

A joke of a penalty. Was jumping to the floor before he’d even got close to any potential contact.

Did souness just blame all diving in professional football on forrins coming over 'ere

Wasn’t watching but it certainly sounds like that cunt.

Howe for the sack?

Holgate is a melt.

Lol. But yeah. Has he really got what it takes to save Newcastle? Has anybody?

"yeah, you're shit. But we want you to pull really hard, keep the club up, and then we'll sell you"

Hard motivation that.
