Real Madrid trying to be the most unlikable team? Seems like they’re always in a scuffle with the other team.

 

Tyler Young didn’t get subbed on at end. Unfortunate but I get it.

 

So, I will never downplay that racism is a problem that La Liga struggles with. So maybe with the fans it could be racism, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a player other players hate more than Vini. Almost every single game, any time he touches someone, a full dramatic throw to the ground faking a headshot injury happens. Whatever he’s doing and saying on the pitch we’ll never be privy to must be an absolute asshat. I’m sure his reaction to not winning over Rodri didn’t help his standing with Spanish nationals, either.

 

I’m hopeful Brighton don’t rush back Welbeck or Ferguson for the Norwich game. Honestly, let’s run adingra on the left, georginio on the right with enciso in the 10 and our Minteh up front and use his speed in behind. Played the 9 a few times last year at Feyernoord.

 

Spurs are being Spurs. Gonna let Kolo Muani go off the Juve or United even though the player has agreed to the move to Spurs.

 

The Ferryman is back

 

Everton finally getting relegated under Moyes would be violently funny.

Even in the last few years, even during some atrocious runs, I've never really expected Everton to get relegated. They've always had enough ability in their squad to grind out two decent runs during the season, one usually around April/early May when the also-rans start to lose their appetite, and so offset the abhorrent three-month spell when they only win one game. (The difference last season was that their two decent runs were actually strong winning runs, rather than a small ramshackle cluster of wins and draws.)

I broadly expect the same this season, although their attack looks as impotent as it ever has. That's the obvious concern for Moyes because they can clearly still grind out a clean sheet often enough, or lean on Pickford having a blinder from time to time.

 

I'll say it.

I think he's a good manager if you don't care about playstyle and if you back him with players that suit him.

 

Gorgeous shirt and logo

 

150 years of history going down the drain cause of Potter-ball so far.

 

Moyes is official, then. Old manager bounce...

 

Dyche must be the only manager other than Bordalas where you can get Moyes in and say “well, at least the football will be better.”

 

I have such a soft spot for Accrington Stanley as they were my grandad’s team on my mum’s side.

Shame they’re likely to get absolutely smashed here.

 

I can barely see what’s happening in this Leicester game haha

 

I was hoping McConville would’ve gotten the start.

 

Norwich off the post. Brighton have not turned up yet.

Edit: took about 25 mins but really taking control now thankfully.

 

Norwich look like a decent, albeit inconsistent, team from what I’ve seen of them this season, but the difference between midtable in the PL and midtable in the Championship is pretty stark.

 

Crazy that Kvaratskhelia is asking to be sold when Napoli are on top of the table

 

Hell yeah a Solly March goal!

 

Why is there a large section of the stadium empty for Sunderland?

 

They've always had iissues filling their stadium when they're out of the Premier League.

 

I, and I imagine 95% of the TV audience, turned off the moment that first goal went in.

 

Yeah, I'm not sure why they show City in the earlier rounds as there's never a cup-set on the cards. 7-0 and counting lol
