How the fuck is that Martinez tackle not a yellow??

When he changes his name to Potteroni.

Bruno Fernandes is such a complete arsehole

I guess if England fuck up at many more tournaments, there could be an opening there. 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

United players surrounding the ref again. What a surprise, bet this gets overturned.

[AlexLaw76]

That was bollox.  Far more robust challenges will happen within the next 60 seconds, I am sure

[Saint_clark]

Broja V Spurs last season anyone? 

VAR still allows for big club bias in which incidents are looked at and which aren't.

[adrian lord]

United fouling Gabriel Jesus  every 30 to 45 seconds.

Have said for a while he’s a shoo in if we don’t get to quarter finals

[FarehamSaintJames]

Leicester going down would be quite funny. They’ve definitely had their head in the clouds (or up their own backside) too long and need bringing down a peg or two.

As for this Man Utd v Arsenal game, a bit weak but those fouls could go either way. As soon as the ref went to the monitor it’s ALWAYS going to be disallowed.
As soon as a referee goes to the monitor it is essentially going to be changed in favour of the offending team.

[whelk]

What’s with Gary Neville and his noises?

[Saint Garrett]

Leicester have a drum which is a relegation offence. Hope they go down.

[LeBizzier69]

I still don’t get why they have Neville commentating on Utd games and Carragher on Liverpool games. 
Aren’t we supposed to have unbiased and neutral commentary?

Wrong thread I suspect, but why can’t the ref’s just play advantage like in rugby? Give it 15-20 seconds and see how it plays out. If no advantage is gained in that time bring it back. Really isn’t rocket science.

[DT]

They’ve deserved that. Sakha has been excellent. 

[FarehamSaintJames]

Nice finish Saka. Bit lucky with the assist but quite frankly when you’ve got players like Martinez and Fernandes faking injuries every thirty seconds you get what you deserve 👍🏻

[AlexLaw76]

Odergaard is outstanding

They've also been kicking and pulling Jesus all over the place. 

Rooting for arsenal in the title race this season.

It’s abundantly  clear that Ten Hag has coached United to be very dirty.

From elsewhere on there, looks like Rodgers either wants to be sacked or knows he can’t be.

[FarehamSaintJames]

The obligatory Martinez time-waste with cramp moment of the game. He’s done this the last three matches.

I wonder how much it would cost of the club to sack him. Isn’t he still on a long term contract?

Too much probably, especially if they’re as skint as suggested. Makes you wonder why Tielemans wasn’t sold this summer really.

Tielemans looked really pissed off with Rodgers when he got subbed off

Is that after selling Fofana ?

[Nordic Saint]

Just watching the 20-year-old Scottish left wing-back, Josh Doig, make his home debut for Verona. Wow, he is some player: a left-sided version of Kyle Walker-Peters but perhaps even better.  He's going to cost a hell of a lot more in the next window than he did in this one.

They’ll sell Tielemans in January for a cut price £20m. Stupid really keeping a player that doesn’t want to be there and who’s contract is running down.

One of my favourite ever lines written on a football forum is there:

"Stop tw@tting around at the back with the ball then. It's not an exhibition match"

GET IT IN THE FUCKING MIXER!!!

The Leicester fans I know are quite relaxed about it, they've had their league title, champions league 1/4 final with loads of good European trips last 6 years plus the FA Cup win , they can't really complain

Indeed - four major trophies in 25 years or so, all while they've spent a fraction of that time in the top flight. That's a haul we could only dream of, not to mention the likes of Everton/Villa/West Ham/Spurs.

It's a complete joke but the big club supporters must lap it up or Sky wouldn't bother with it. Pathetic really.

He’d gone into the bushes out of sight - I guess unlike Jason Puncheon he hadn’t asked the ref for permission to leave the pitch.

[Saint Keef]

I don't particularly hate Leicester, but I am thoroughly enjoying seeing Rat Boy Vardy and Billy Big Bollocks Maddison struggling at the wrong end of the table. Relegation for those two would be very sweet indeed. Couldn't happen to two nicer fellas. For a very long time it seems, they have relied heavily on Vardy's goals but they now appear to have dried up quicker than my lawn this summer and without his goals they appear to be well and truly fu**ed

Had a quick geez at their forum, they’re not blaming him at all, I know he’s done a load for them and is a club legend but surely you’ve gotta see he’s way past his used by date.

Haven't they just given him a two year contract as well? I bet he's on mega wages too which won't help their situation.
