Evra is a bit scattergun but that Zaha comment was brilliant. Sky's lawyers must've had a panic attack

How bad were United though? Wrong line up, wrong set up and wrong subs. Ole is totally clueless. Pogba is a stain on that shirt, lazy, arrogant, no workrate and gave the ball away non stop. He doesn't want to be there, he needs binning off. It's been said before but the club is in a mess.

Martial is rated by some people but he's only ever mustered 17 league goals and is almost 26, Danny Ings has a vastly better record and has played at Southampton and Burnley most of his PL career

The Glazers, Woodward failing at every level since he was appointed, Ole a Championship manager......no ambition. At the end of the season United got lucky finishing third. They needed a pacey centre back, left back to replace the fat waddler Shaw, a DM, right winger and striker. Yet they've only signed a central midfielder. Car crash stuff.

Kellfire will be along shortly to reveal it's all a considered approach and United are in fact playing a masterplan that'll end with the title and CL. Anyone that disagrees is a Champ Manager fan and knows zero about football

I had to rewind it and listen a few times when he said it. My initial thought was WOW!! IIRC wasnt Evra still there when the alleged affair took place?

He's a terrible pundit. His comment about smashing up the VAR camera was pathetic, like thatll change the decision ?‍?‍

 

[Lord Tyrion]

A round of applause for the Crystal Palace away kit ?. Not quite as good as the wonderfully South American Southampton kit but still a nice change from the norm.

Back to the football, they looked very slick on motd. Hodgson certainly knows how to organise and drill a team.

I really don’t like it, but it’s apparently from our original kits in the last 1800’s?

 

[Kellfire]

You can't prove that kid wrong though, which says it all about you. You're the typical band wagon United fan who believes they've got the best players in every position, Ole is the next Sir Alex and success is just around the corner. Basically you've become Liverpool of the 90's and 00's. Deluded.

Neymar has wasted the peak years of his career behaving like an idiot in a footballing backwater. He's done zero in the CL for PSG and nothing for Brazil. His performances for both in big games have bordered on embarrassing.

I think our squad is quite weak in many areas and that Solskjaer is a terrible manager.

You’re good at this.

 

[Tashyboy]

Always a good day when utd lose, but ave just seen the penalty and the retake and they are shocking. I don't know which was the worst of the 2 decisions.

Another VAR cock up if that’s a pen ,why wasn’t the West Ham one a penalty.
Seems they have just moved the goalposts and the same refs are making the same mistakes.
Don’t think either was a pen by the way.
As for the keeper off his line , it’s the rule so they all know what to do.
But keepers have been doing that since they were kids, going to be another 1mm decisions all season.
Bit silly imo.

 

[clubchamp98]

Keeping the flag down for an obvious offside.( Kane’s second goal.)
So if a defender clatters a striker who was clearly off and breaks his leg.
That’s avoidable if the Lino puts his flag up.

By the letter of the new laws, I think both decisions were correct. I think these are both fairly poor for the game of football though.

I sat take offside away from lino

He just raised flag on Ings.. meant Southampton don't get a corner

However that was onside. Var won't review that only goals

You will probably be back to stripes next season but it was a bold move. I love the away kit in particular, Peru from 1978 ?

 

[fundy]

wonder at what point Saints are going to try and defend Kane assisting to Son lol. Properly clinical apart from the one he was offside

 

[Swingalot]

wilf is rubbish.

pepe £70m, lingard (27 england caps) and Sane (1 season at a club who got relegated and is now worth £50m) are many others I could mention are all much better players if any top 8 clubs are looking for a skillful attacker

We'll keep Wilf in SE25 reluctantly....

 

[chrisd]

I agree entirely, we'd like him to go but if no one wants him I guess that's it

 

[clubchamp98]

Cheslea sat back with 11 men .
Spoils the game . 10 men on a bus.
But if the ref needs a monitor to tell him that’s a red he should not be reffing in the PL

Maybe, but when one of them is Kepa you have to have a giggle.

Gini quietly brilliant again. For all the talk beforehand Fabinho has been great at CB. Made defending Werner look easy.

As for Chelsea? Spend £50m on a top class centre forward and then play him off the left against a makeshift CB? Bizarre. The keeper? well! Maybe they need to spend another £300m in January?!

 

[davemc1]

‘Sake! If gini scores that we go top. Barcelona my arse!!
??

Chelsea should stop messin about with crap keepers an go spend £70oddmil like we did.
Oh, hang on a min...

I just think if you go one down at half time your still in the game with 11 men.
Just can’t understand the challenge he was away but still got the keeper to beat, not the end of the world 1-0.
Thought Chelsea played quite well second half.
Alison made some great saves.
But the red Changed the game, can’t play Liverpool with 10 men.
Gin I played well but only scores when wearing a Orange shirt he could have had a hatrick today.
The keeper well what can you say, but good from Mane.
Fabiano brilliant today.

 

[Norrin Radd]

And Brighton go to Newcastle and play them off the park .Not many sides will be doing that to the toon .
