This is going to be fun

Casemiro

Fairly certain you have, but it was massively in jest

So Bent just said that in real time he thought it was "a naughty one" but looking at the replay it wasn't, and then goes on to say the ref reached to the the red to quickly. Surely them two things go hand in hand, if the ref also thinks in real time, that its a bad challenge, surely he gives it a red. Not sure what he's meant to do, have a mothers meeting before deciding?

In fairness, I think you did at one point when in wind up merchant mode. People should realize not to believe your opinions in them moments mind

Its hilarious that its happened to Fernandes, but thats really harsh

Did Peter Drury really just say "Here goes turbo Timo Werner"?

Man United look atrocious here. Can barely string 2 passes together. Its like i'm watching us under Bruce.

Class from Van De Ven that. Horrible defending mind

Romano saying that next summers transfer window could close on the 15th August so it ends before the start of the season, with all of the big 5 leagues agreeing to it bar LaLiga.

Results: Inconclusive.

Good result.

Looking forward to the inevitable J.Duran winner.

Lovely goal that second, both Barker and Joel did really well in the build up.

The commentator saying Katie Baker instead of Barker is proper irritating

Winning

Villa will be interesting today, they have Bayern at home mid-week, which will likely be their biggest game in a generation, and then Man United next week. So this is the sort of game people are expecting them to falter in with their eyes placed elsewhere, and this game not having the alure of the other two.

Right now? John Ruddy probably.

Lascelles is a club icon in my eyes like, from the post match interview in the relegation season, to captaining the club back to promotion, to survival and keeping the team together when the manager wouldn't understand Bruce, the shithouseing yellow cards when warming up in the Champions League campaign, to having Haaland and Mbappe in his pocket. It'd actually say he's in the top 5 most influential players for us in the last 20 year, I was tempted to say this century but that's probably too far

Zaragoza is the player who scored Unless this is a joke and i'm getting whooshed.

Wolves and Palace going down this season would be nice, both have been perennial boring mid-table teams for a while.

Thats well stupid from the Wolves defender like

Completely against the run of player, Leverkusen winning.

Bayern vs Bayer should be fun.

I'd wait a little bit before making that statement like. They have been batshit these past two years, and it's going to take more than what is essentially one good period of form under a new manager against teams currently sat in 8th, 13th, 14th, 17th and 20th, to prove to me otherwise.
