I've been most impressed by Matic in the game and a half without Pogba. His ability on the ball, and composure to beat the first wave of opppsition pressing is astounding. And then to drive the ball forward, or play a peach of a ball in to the channels is doubly as impressive. He's truly been a revelation.

 

Fuck Piers Morgan.

 

Lad

 

Haha. Corbyn is such a spiteful git.

 

Piers is just a piece of shit. I wouldn't want him hearing a word of any conversation I have.

 

Palace just scored their first goal of the season

 

Cunning plan from Liverpool to get themselves knocked out of the cup to focus their amazing attack on the league.

 

Nah, they scored two against us in the previous round of the Britain First Cup.

Mediawatch: On 'sensational' Rooney and 'wasteful' Lukaku - Football365

You all really need to read this. Goes in on the bias of English media.

* His 67.2% pass completion rate was the worst of any outfield starter.

* He did not create a single chance for his teammates.

* No other player was dispossessed more often nor lost the ball with a poor touch more often.

* He made one tackle, no interceptions and two fouls.

* He did not score.

And yet according to Danny Murphy on the BBC Sport website he was “sensational”, he also “led the line on his own for much of the game, made chances and held the ball up brilliantly”, he was “absolutely brilliant”. “the shining light for Everton” and “his performance was something the other Everton players should look at and think ‘that is the level we should be at'”.

 

Love Mediawatch, they’re always so on point.

 

What the fuck is this nonsense????

 

Reminds me of that stupid campaign after Messi evaded taxes.

 

Like, damn. Kid pulled a hammy, he's not getting a leg amputated.

 

the lukaku chant is racist garbage

corbyn is king

that's all really

 

I hope it’s the result of a board member going “we’re about to face re-election and our star signing got injured during his second game how can we remind them we did that and even better if we can make the players who hate us involved”

 

Also Paulinho has scored more goals than Iniesta or Busquets in the last two seasons combined already so maybe my doubts were unfounded.

Messi is still a revelation.

 

£40m is a bargain for this quality.

 

He looks like he was playing, using someone else's feet.

 

I remember this Chamberlain well.

 

USOC Final tonight!

 

Golazos galore: the 25 best goals from the golden era of Serie A

Extremely kickass list of goals from my fav era of football ever. The first touch on the No1 goal

 

Man, I haven't been this excited/nervous for an RBNY game since the shield clinching matches and the '08 playoff run

 

Strong side from us tonight. Seems Burton have fully rotated their team.

 

And Rashford kills the tie off
