Miercoles

A goal, an assist, and manufactured a red card for his defender, hell of a game. This guy is going to drive the league fucking mental during our rise to power.

This fucking guy. Five fullbacks at Old Trafford, four goalkeepers against Chelsea, just the usual recipes for casual dominant wins against top sides

I don't think we've seen him actually fit yet this year. Very frustrating.

Aye, the rules themselves are a joke, but they were passed and we are stuck with them. This particular enforcement action seems totally legitimate, especially once you read the details of the moves they were trying to pull to cover up their losses, pretty egregious.

I didn't realize we had this hip new space for not worthy of a thread posts. I should have put my big throw-in gloves breakthrough in here...

The people that want to scrap it seem to be forgetting that we used to have to deal with shit like Thierry Henry vs Ireland on a regular basis. It's way better now, despite doing a horrible job, and it will get better still as they begin to be less terrible at it.

Boom. That's my football career sorted. The throw in coach that invented wearing gloves. Don't even try to tell me it's not worthwhile, these throw in dorks are constantly rubbing the balls dry with their soaking wet shirts to try to get some grip so they can hurl the ball against the first defender yet again. More grip, more goals. Simple.

This is a new one... Watching some women's NCAA over here and this chick is a throw-in specialist, does the front flip throw and all that. Noticed she's wearing grip gloves, almost like wide receiver gloves in the NFL. Curious if any of the rules nonces out there know if this is legal in the elite leagues, if so it seems like, and I know this is the fringiest of fringe cases, if you did have a long-throw specialist you're missing a trick not having them wear gloves for it...

Gordon has looked great at CF to be fair.

I'm still buzzing from the Arsenal and Manchester United results, this hasn't bothered me too much tbh.

Any word on his diagnosis?

A bit harsh to call that a sitter, was chest high and in the melee so he can't bring it down like. I'm sure he'd tell you he should have scored, of course, but seeing the chance back it looked a bit trickier than at first glance.

I think you're looking for "African-American in England"

Get the fuck in you beautiful bastards

Hardest moment of my life, managed to stop just short of yelling "holy fuck!" in front of my three year old.

Forgot how fucking good this guy is. Absolutely rapid today as well, which is nice to see coming off a hammy.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised twice? This dude is for real.

He was fine when deputized in that role a couple times last season. The nice thing is our normal style isolates the striker so much it doesn't really matter who you play there. There was a game a while back where we had to move Gordon to striker, and then ten minutes later Murphy switched with him, and it was really no impact to how we played lol.

I don't suppose Dortmund have had five injuries and a suspension in the last week or so?

Shoots and dives like a forward, such a cultured player

Feel like we should be getting as many minutes out of this dude's legs as we can until the ban comes down.

Yeah that's fair. I don't remember Taylor as a rookie, and Longstaff's circuitous trajectory had me not thinking of him as a prospect come good, but he absolutely is.

When's the last time we had a prospect, home grown or otherwise, actually come up, play games, and reach potential? I've been following the team for real since around, I dunno whenever I signed up here, 2006? And I'm not sure I've ever seen it happen.

Oh for fucks sake! This is his moment too man. Hopefully this is misreported or something

Don't tell me we've bought success as long as we are routinely naming two goalkeepers to the bench...
