Entertaining game

El Clasico is on now. Hard to see a Madrid win here even though there's no Messi. 3-1 I'll say.

Something which really annoys me incidentally is when people try to be cultured and pronounce "Barcelona" as "Barfelona". It's wrong and you sound stupid.

 

[andruid]

that is absolute world-class cheating from Lacazette.

Kemar Roofe did it first.

News in on the victims of the helicopter crash. RIP to all and best wishes for those affected.

Lol@ Real. No way Lopetegui survives this surely.

Also, that new Barca midfielder Arthur looks ****ing world class.

A name that accurately represents how people should feel about evil megaclubs like them tbh.

Bit odd that Zaha spent the first 80 minutes getting kicked by Lichtsteiner when on the other side Xhaka was at LB with Auba on LW.

Talking of Xhaka, his interview on MOTD was the most refreshing thing I've seen in years. Asked about the penalty awarded for his challenge on Zaha, his instant response was words to the effect of yup, it was a penalty all day long. Given all the crap that's been written and said about Zaha lately, he really was a breath of fresh air. Good luck to the lad.

Yeah he is so done.

Some really funky away kits in the Prem this season (and not funky in the good way, like Jamiroquai's early albums).

Arsenal's mint green outfit is just no good.

And City's kit tonight looks like it is based on the Double Decker wrapper design.

Chris Sutton making the 5Live coverage of this absolutely unbearable. Had to switch off.

No Jamiroquai album was ever good

On holiday in Portugal and seeing what has happened over the weekend is just so sad. Makes you not care about your own side losing.

Fingers crossed for Hoddle making a full recovery.

That part of the post was made primarily to bait you tbh. I knew the chances of you ignoring that low hanging fruit were low.

He's a clown. How he gets a platform is beyond me.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Lopetegui gone. Bit of a crashed career

 

[Furball]

He's a clown. How he gets a platform is beyond me.

Hopefully 2003's title decider is still eating away at him, the ****.

Chris Sutton making the 5Live coverage of this absolutely unbearable. Had to switch off.

My enduring memory of Chris Sutton was him pressuring the recipient of a throw in after the ball was deliberately kicked out for an injury. He dispossessed the defender and scored to boos around the ground. Even at like 10 years old I was like WAC.

On the other end of the spectrum, I think Emma Hayes is a good pundit. Always has an intelligent comment.

Trying to decide which bit I like most, the excellent free kick in the 97th min, the **** celebration, or the genuine protests of innocence when sent off

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

It shits me when players try to protest it and just won't leave the pitch. You aren't gonna change it, just go.

 

[sledger]

Yeah. Same with any refereeing decision really.
