Arsenal Leicester should be fun

 

Werner and Ziyech made sense imo but the money they’re about to throw at Havertz would be better used on a CB and a LB.

They have plenty of good midfielders.

 

Did not expect to see a Welbeck overhead kick highlight

 

I'm happy he didn't end up on either red team in the northwest.

 

Could really do with Arsenal doing us a solid tonight. United's season basically relies on Leicester continuing to fall apart.

 

Fucking Chelsea. Just lose again ye bollockses

 

Yeah any kind of dropped points puts it in our hands. Win out and we get top 4.

 

It's definitely close. I just don't trust us not to drop a clanger somewhere. The more points Leicester drop, the comfier I'll be. Which is a shame, as I really like their team actually.

 

Dare I say, Kasper is playing like his Dad tonight.

 

Absolutely agreed. Best case scenario they drop enough points to safely come 5th with us 4th and City get banned.

 

How it took VAR like 5 minutes to decide on that redcard I'll never know. Sure, in real time maybe you miss it and think it's a yellow. One replay though and wow, straight red. Scared to make a decision there.

 

omg I hate VAR

 

Ok they got it right

 

Apologies for what might be a rant here, but I've seen Schmeichel Sr has been in news today having a pop at Jesse Lingard. Been saying that it's "shocking" that "one player" on particular (obviously Lingard) has been trying to make a brand for themselves.

He can fuck right off with that to be honest. Yeah it's a bit of a meme because lol Jesse Lingard, but at the end of the day he's a young man trying to provide for his family. He earns a decent wage already, but do what if he wants to try and sell some t-shirts with a stupid logo on? What's it got to do with anyone else? Either he makes money with it so great, or he doesn't in which case who cares. So disappointing to have a legend of the game attack young men working hard.

Plus, people genuinely forget how close Lingard was to breaking through at United. Around the time he was setting the brand up, he was in the first team, people online were hyping him, he had patches of really excellent form, he'd played well in a World Cup. Fair play to the lad for backing himself and trying to make a bit of money off it.

 

The JL handsign is so perfect too.

 

I suppose that's the point though. When he was in good form he got carried away with building his brand instead of focusing on his game and he's been rubbish for the last 2 years. Whether it's a coincidence I don't know as I don't always buy into the off field distraction thing since it's not like he's skipping training to sit at home hand stitching t shirts himself but it's just not a good look. I know he's actually had quite a difficult time personally too with sick family members as well tbf.

 

I mean who actually gives a shit? Plenty of players have “brands”. No one cares about them. It’s just a stick to beat Jesse with

 

Yeah it's an easy reason to have a go at someone when they're not playing well. I remember the same thing happened to Cleverley. He got in the side and then started his TC23 brand and website and then got slaughtered by the fans about it when he stopped playing well and then he never amounted to anything. Unless you're an elite player then it's inviting criticism really. Messi and Ronaldo do a million endorsements etc but nobody cares when you score 50 a season.

 

Lingard wasn’t even that interesting. That first date thing with B Silva last year was so awkward to watch

 

Wow, Milan came from 2-0 down to beat Juve 4-2? The fix is in lol.

 

As a Forest fan, I am fully prepared for us to mess it all up and drop out of the playoffs at the last moment. Probably with Derby pipping us to 6th.

Disappointing loss yesterday to Fulham but conceding to 10 man Derby in the 97th minute on Saturday sums everything up to be honest!

 

Even then nobody gives a fuck that Christian Fuchs has his own clothing brand. Jesse is just an easy target

 

Dier 4 game ban lmao

 

Vardy didn't get carded for this, peak VAR.

 

I mean, I normally want to give a player falling the benefit of the doubt, but what the hell was that?
