Neymar broke his foot for the second season in a row right before the knockouts.

 

Özil rejected a loan move to PSG. sorta shocked he didnt go for it, easy league title medal, chance at UCL success, wouldn't have to worry about them paying his wages

 

Yeah, not a child, but for the amount of football he's played, still a young career so far. I won't argue against him having been shite, but it's another case of United playing players, particularly young players, out of position. Because the lad can play a pass, Mou thought he was a 6, completely ignoring the fact he's an attacking midfielder who has no tackling ability. He played yesterday as more of an 8, but still too deep and in an unfamiliar position. If they do want to mould him into that position, he needs to play, be it first team or the U23's. The odd sub for 10 minutes or going weeks without playing and then thrown into the league will do him no good at all.

He's either a 10, a "free 8" ala the Silva's at City, or at the very most could play the right wing role that Mata currently occupies. Of course, even in those roles, who knows whether he will ever be United quality, but at least give him a fighting chance.

 

no goalkeeper in the world wastes more time than Ben Foster

 

Classic Liverpool

 

Tim Heaton yesterday was pretty impressive

 

Sarriball!

 

Clear penalty not called on Watford

 

Son!!!

Please never leave us again

 

Llorente bby

 

The Undrawables live on

 

As said before, Liverpool are too far out, but if we finish above City I’d be very happy. The team that spent a billion dollars vs the team that spent zero.

 

we're gonna win the league




anyways I'm not sure people talk enough about just what an impressive success story Bournemouth has been in the PL

it's pretty amazing

 

When I saw Chelsea’s starting lineup I thought he looked scary. Guess not.

 

I don't know why you would have thought that. Kovacic and Jorginho have been awful this season and Higuain won't be up to me in the league.

Also who the hell is Emerson?

 

Ex-Roma LB, bought him summer before Conte's 2nd season if I remember correctly. EDIT: I don't remember correctly lol, was January transfer window halfway through Conte's first season

Can't hate Bournemouth as they are my "second team" in the PL, incredible win for them. Joshua King has become very good these past couple seasons IMO, plus David Brooks has been an unreal signing!

 

I think it might be between United and Arsenal for 4th

 

Atalanta 3-0 Juventus
Fiorentina 7-1 Roma
Bournemouth 4-0 Chelsea

What a day

 

Barcelona playing their best game of the season and I’m at work :(

 

Inject this into my veins.

 

Has he played much?

Brooks is brilliant

 

No, has mainly been playing Europa League and domestic cup games - think he'd played 11mins of PL football before his 90 last night. Fans are calling for him to start over Alonso from now on but he is not good enough.

 

Someone has changed Batshuayi's Wiki so that it says he plays for Everton.

 

Forest have signed Pele on loan from Monaco. I hope he's as good as his namesake.

 

Denis to Arsenal official.
