It will all come down to if the referee and his assistants have seen it and thought nothing of it or if the referee claims in his match report he didn't see it at all.

Here we go.

He's a stewart, it's exactly what I'd expect them to do tbh. Proper stereotypical jobsworth health and safety compo c***s. Or maybe http://www.alloutcricket.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Alec-Stewart.jpg

One syllable short.

Do you mean fuck off Wijnaldum?

And the rest, Salah, Juan Mata, Filipe Luis etc.

Never lost 3 Premier League games in a row and today become the fourth quickest manager to 500 points in the Premier League.

There was no mystery. Didn't take a genius to work out it would be the Rafa flag.

Like a different player to what we had most of last season.

Like watching Solano to Shearer!

Mitro coming on, now divvent get sent off ya daftie.

First touch Joselu! Looks like he's blowing out of his arse now.

If Sports Direct buy a majority stake in a business called Paperclips then probably.

Fucking hell Elliot.

Hayden goes down 3 or 4 times a game over nothing so never know if he is actually hurt or not.

Andy Cole and Lee Westwood playing golf on the pitch. Whatever next.

HER - NAN- DEZ. None of this nickname bollocks.

Attacking Gallowgate first half.

One or two quotes were necessary to bring it to the surface. I'm not sure what constant, weekly negative soundbites are achieving at all. What do you want him to do? Ignore the questions in his press conferences that he is obliged to attend and just sit there in silence? Someone of his standing and credibility isn't going to just smile and say everything is fine when it isn't and not saying anything at all would be an every bigger press story and circus. The only reason he is constantly getting asked questions is because he has fed them with so many quotes, surely? Well, no. It's because of many things including the fact the the squad is shit, we've hardly signed any quality, the transfer window is still open and Mike Ashley did a stupid interview on Sky Sports.
