Officials paid off by Putin. I give Wales no credit.

Could be a great week for British football if Ukraine puts Wales out on Sunday.

I think the only real difference between Lascelles and Tarkowski is that one has played in a chaotic sit back and hoof it team and the other in an organised one. I'm naturally suspicious of defenders that play in a system like Burnley's, what evidence do we have that he would fit into Howe's way of playing?

I only eat pigs that have been kicked to death.

I haven't forgiven Forest for that bent game we had against them in the championship. I hope they have a short miserable stay in the premier league.

There was contact, he tripped him.

Wtf

That’s a pen.

Lovely stuff.

Fabinho slid in, why did he slide in if he wasn’t trying to play the ball?

I’m not sure what the rule is now. I thought that was fine because it came off Fabinho. Surely that’s what they were looking at for so long.

That’s a goal.

You think Grealish could be a top 3 player in the world? Because that’s what De Bruyne is. He just got 3 goals and 3 assists while getting a lot of playing time in Man City’s front 3.

For all Almiron’s faults I reckon he could’ve been just as productive as Grealish if he got the same time in that Man City team. 3 goals and 3 assists ffs, he should be keeping his head down.

Grealish is probably going to go down as the biggest flop in premier league history, and he’s certainly the most overrated player in the league today IMO.

Strange one if he ends up at Villa on a free after being linked to so many better options.

On the positive side, we might see them get relegated next season.

A fucking pitch invasion.

Seville about to get demolished.

This is a big indicator that it’s going to happen.

Pickford is an ok midtable keeper, that’s it. He has some strengths and some real weaknesses, and overall I don’t see him as better than Dubravka. He’s not the sort of level we should be going for.

I have no issue with this as long as it’s not instead of a big long term signing. I do have reservations about Man U castoffs, but this one doesn’t have a lot of miles on the clock and clearly has some talent. Even if his West Ham form is an anomaly, he’s still comfortably better than Fraser and Murphy.

I remember I had a bet with a Man U fan that we wouldn’t buy Smith. I couldn’t believe anyone would want him at that point as he was so obviously shit and finished, he just lumbered around fouling people. I was gutted that it was us that signed him.

I'm very much a French peasant when it comes to the traditional elite clubs. I'd line them up in the town square if I could.
