Terrible dive that like.

That is a fantastic save, excellent effort from Jos

This is really a horrible game of football, good defensively from us but honestly neither team doing anything to excite their fans.

Should have done a lot better there, Murphy.

Isn't that extra man in midfield supposed to mean you can dominate possesion, we've had 30% so far, lol.

We are losing a lot of the 50/50's early on, they are really up for this, but if we can ride out the early storm, we could get something here.

Glad to see him start but a little disappointed Aarons doesn't make the bench yet Diame still gets to sit there, I don't see the point there, when you already have Shelvey to cover the centre mid.

I think losing Rafa will be the deciding factor in this game, he's known for his in game alterations, we'll miss that greatly.

Surprised with the team, lets hope he's got it right. Would take a draw here.

Seriously these are two of the worst PL teams I've seen in a long time, I'm confident we are better than these two, so little quality on show.

They mock us for our love of the man, it's absurd really, they've never had a manager who is close to his pedgree, but they do have Simon Grayson no eyebrows and all.

Ready to Groom is a hoot right now, full of "woe is me" threads, this is perhaps my favourite right now: https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/cant-wait-for-relegation-at-least-we-will-be-winning-most-weeks.1390514/

Nowt stopping him from going for it if he's not going to kick the keepers face in. It's a fucking karate kick, whether there was anyone around him or not, he should be taking that with his head, the fact that he goes with his foot instead suggests he wants to get there before someone, you don't have to be looking in the direction of someone to feel their presence.

Good to see Manure pegged back but Stoke are very dis likable.

Who on here is is "mag in peace" tosser, where's your backbone man, change your user name and stop pandering to them. https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/grabban-vaughan.1390441/

That was way too easy for Manure. Terrible defending by Stoke.

Is Koeman in any danger ? They were average last season, the rode on the back of Lukaku, he's not there now. Think that team should be doing a lot better than it is right now, 3-0 flattered them a little today.

Wonder how many years Villa will be down there, they don't look even close to getting out of that division for the second year running, the parachute payments will starting drying up soon. Long way to go, but be shocked if Bruce can turn this around, they are probably gonna be looking for a new manager again soon.

That fact is though they are, the shirt is a piece of s***, the club is reprehensible, the supporters are complete fuckwitts and the team perfectly fits with that whole set up

Always buy him in FIFA, never seen him play in real life.

Oh man. Grim. I think that's a great move personally for them, but they need to be games featuring one of the big two. On a global scale La Liga is miles behind the PL in terms of exposure and popularity, playing a meaningful game in these markets would do wonders for their global product. Honestly don't know why there is so much out rage at the PL trying to do something similar, there are enough games in a season to be able to "lose" one home game each season. The London games have not killed the NFL at all, it's actually been a great success and they have only 16 games a season. Man U versus Chelsea would sell out in minutes at a 100k stadium in the US no problem.

Totally agree Baba, zero consistency, common sense or logic applied.

Really, I thought I heard even Shearer, who really should be a little biased in our favour, since every other pundit in the world seems to be for their former clubs, said it was not a red card offence and brushed it off ?

It's funny how little the tackle Ritchie puts in on Alli just after Shelvey got sent off is mentioned here, that was the most dangerous foul commited by an NUFC player this seasnon, yet because he's got a magic hat or whatever it's barely mentioned and almost forgotten. Honestly folks on here just love to put the boot in to certain players, Ohmelads is absolutely right, Mitro's is an overly aggressive move but's it's barely a foul let alone a red card or suspension, how far does Mitro have to drop his elbow to not make contact with Lanzini head ? Does he really lead with his elbow in an attempt to hurt the player, or is it more a case of going hard into to get the ball and his elbow makes contact with Lanzini's lowering head. You've clearly never played the game if you think it's the former., the latter is not a sending off.

Yeah how stupid must the bloke be for trying to defend himself.
