Theregulars

Genuinely poor ref as well

I’d be ok with Burn coming off at half time - that’s 5 really basic mistakes already.

Referee’s reluctance to book Burnley means they can keep on with cynical fouls. Can tell Kompany learned from Pep.

The difference Botman makes to our passing from the back is so stark right now

I’m in the habit of defending him but Burn looks hungover thus far

Rung 3: hundred hand slap

Can these power rankings have a name at each level? Top being “thunderbastard” and bottom being “a catholic’s piss” or something

Wasn't the Trippier one caused by Fat John McGinn kicking him? It's incredible how in each of the last 3 seasons a big signing has got injured almost instantly and missed 3 months - Trippier, Isak, now Barnes.

The way he gets the team to react in adversity is really noteworthy. Looking forward to the next big test against PSG - definitely passed the last one at Milan.

Can I bring you some more spades?

Dullard.

Became a bit of a forgotten man by circumstance. Would love to see him reach levels that others have done, likeable and capable.

Calling this out for the shite that it is. Times have moved on - a reason they may be reluctant to play is because comments like these remain acceptable “jokes” or because of concern of being perved on while doing their jobs. Please don’t do it and remember that there are multiple female posters on the forum.

Interesting - as in the genuine mathematical chances of a 50/50 landing the same way 12 times in a row is 0.02? How does that work mathematically? Sorry to turn a football thread into a maths chat...

But it doesn’t change that the odds of each flip remain 50/50. It is certainly unlikely to have 12 of the same outcome in a row, but it’s still just a series of 50/50 chances. It’s also a weak comparison statistically because there are other multiple balls at play, actually making the odds even greater, which at the same time undermines my argument totally so I’ll stop typing

That’s misleading. It’s 50/50 each time (in theory) - the preceding draws don’t factor into the actual probability.

Except Murphy

Good to avoid Liverpool and arsenal, and they haven’t started the season very impressively, but still an absolute cunt’s trick of a draw yet again.

I’m not normally drawn to conspiracy but to have these starts in the PL, CL and CC at the same time is stretching credibility.

He really could have

What a magnificent team performance that second half was. Bravo.

I think people have just said he hasn’t been playing very well, which he hasn’t apart from villa and half 2 here

Livramento is one of the best standing tacklers I’ve ever seen.

That beef tackle from dummett is one of history’s greatest moments

Genuinely don’t get the hatred for Goodman. He’s fine and is also a really nice person.
