Amazing game. Fair result.
|
wow man. wow.

Dammit sturridge

Just heard Mourinho try to argue that McTominay was the best centreback on the pitch today.
It's not even mind-games anymore. The man's just a sad deluded idiot now. I bet he smells of wee, too. |

i heard the interview. he didnt say the best defender on the pitch but his best defender in terms of attitude he was praising his attitude, not the way anderson so often punked him ha ha haha but yes he is clearly grasping at straws |
Ah, OK, I miss-heard it. But either way, even if he was only praising him in the context of MU, the fact he was directly at fault for at least two of WH's goals even makes a mockery of that claim.
Mind you if he's being compared with the rest of the defense, who couldn't even keep up with a senior citizen like Zabaleta, and managed to make Mark Noble look like bloody Xavi, he might have a point. |

also he did not praise results—just attitude for results, he put it all on the ref haaaaa haaaaa haaaaa |
so many champions league this week and i dont know what ill be able to catch but interested i...
TOMORROW bayern-ajax (i rarely see bayern these days) man u-valencia (mourinho’s soap opera has won me over, i confess) WEDNESDAY barça-spurs (spain v england again?) dortmund-monaco (this could be thrilling) oh, napoli-liverpool (but sarri gone...) im not sure i got the dates right.. too many damn games! |
Remember when Sanchez was good? Those were the days.
I was thinking about players who have license to roam cos their discipline is good enough to allow it. So far I've Messi, Ronaldo, and Hazard. Anyone else? Sanchez used to have that ability but nowadays he's likely to get lost in his own kitchen. |
bayern ajax seems a bit of a clusterfuck 1-1 right now
only been watching 2nd half but ajax with the better chances so far — lolol ajax keeps missing great chances wtf — ends up 1-1, a bunch of pointless yellow cards, 5, wtf, escpecially unfair i thought against bayern ajax great or bayern disappointing? a bit of both. |
Quote:
In terms of current Prem players, I'd add David and Bernardo Silva. |
first time i heard about the great bernardo silva was the world cup’s fantasy league
i had him in my squad. a promising buy. he turned such a disappointment! but for man city he is something else. so, who is watching what today? eta: barcelona spurs seems a good prospect |
Quote:
You can play him almost anywhere. Although, that might not be what H8kurdt really meant. He's versatile but doesn't really roam, as such. In which case I wouldn't even say David Silva fits that description. I think they're both capable of it but I don't think Pep's MC is really set up for that kind of free role. The nearest they get might be Jesus, although I'm still not completely sold on him as a player in any role. |
Meanwhile 2 minutes in, Barca Spurs, Messi's pass to Alba for Coutinho's goal was next level.
|
rakitic not too shabby either lololo
spurs outclassed |
Hmm, Kane might've made things interesting - although Barcelona really should be out of sight by now.
|
but they are :D
|
oh, never mind...
-- well/// yes after all |
4-2 definitely flattered Spurs.
|
really? i thought they had barca on the ropes for a spell
they did better on the 2nd half. no? |
and holy shit napoli beat liverpool 1-0?

Spurs were always gonna pour forward in that position, with nothing to lose and Barcelona aren't geared up to protect a lead. So fair play to Spurs for keeping at it. But tonight has to be about Messi, who was just brilliant tonight, even by his standards. I don't think Barcelona are a great team right now but Messi could've easily scored 4 on his own. One of those nights where he was unplayable. |
Of course I, like a moron, decided to watch the utd game yesterday and forgo any of today's games.
Messi was having of those next level games today then? |

ZING! |
In happy news, Josh Mcechran scored his first professional goal this week! Wahay!

It really was. Rakitic's goal was the best of the 4 but Messi's performance all round was just brilliant. A 90 minute showreel. |

but massive props for suarez letting that ball go by TWICE that's beyond football, that's telepathy |
Yes, definitely.
For all his notoriety, one of the things I love about Suarez is he's actually a very unselfish player. Even when he was at Liverpool, alongside Sturridge, although he scored a shit load of goals he never went for personal glory if he saw a better option. His desire to win means he'll cross any line he has to, but he's absolutely about the team rather than himself. |
always been a fan myself
|
Last Prem weekend before another dreaded International break.
West Ham v Brighton tonight, which I imagine will only be of interest to me, while MU v Newcastle in the late kickoff (5.30 GMT) tiomorrow will appeal to the ambulance chances. The biggie, though, will obviously be on Sunday (4.30 GMT), when MC play Liverpool. |
oh yeah im looking forward to that sunday game
there is nothing on saturday for me so i’ll spend it on the road doing this and that but sunday! sunday is looking very good.... and i should be back for it with booze, coffee, meats, and other small delights of modern life, courtesy of global trade. mmmm, trade... |
Brighton 1-0 West Ham (HT)
WH started well but Brighton grabbed one then improved up to the break. They're defending well and WH just can't break them down. WH haven't got the zip they had in the last few games. |
Quote:
... oh yes there he is... |
WH weren't great tonight but Brighton bring nothing to the Prem and just got lucky tonight. Bunch of journeymen. Hope they go down.
|
oh shit sorry about your result man. astronaut did not fly today.

More frustrated than anything. Should've won on the strength of chances and just overall quality, but sometimes you can just tell you're not gonna score, no matter what. Note to self: avoid watching any game Brighton are involved in. They're about as exciting as a cup of cold tea. |
But I thought Chris Hughton was EVERYONE'S favourite manager!:D
Actually baffled when people say that. Cos he's a nice guy everyone should like him? Nah. |
I actually grew up around the corner from Chris Hughton. He is a nice bloke but his teams are your usual Allardyce/Pulis-style sloggers.
The problem for WH is they've done well against teams willing to come out and play but can't break down teams like Brighton who just sit back in the hope they might nick something. |
Watched Leicester v Everton
Tight game but worldy from Siggurdson. Keep him and Richarlison fit and Everton have nothing to worry about this season https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i5uBKoI-TY -- Now for the Man U soap opera |
