Probably player of the season at this point, by a margin.

You rarely see that combination of peak physicality and expert diving in the same player, truly a generational athlete.

Shoulder? If so that's probably the season.

Aaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!! Fuck yes.

Feeling better and better about the PSG result. It's one of those where it just hurts because of how it happened. If we had held on all game and equalized late we'd have been buzzing to finish 1-1. Think we ought to have the tiebreaker over PSG if we end up level too. Not a huge stretch to think we could beat Milan and PSG get held by Dortmund...

A win and a draw to PSG is fucking great, yeah. And when the draw was made, if you offered us a chance to qualify on the last day at home a lot of people would have taken it. It's just the fucking hope that crushes you.

I'd have taken a draw before the game. Going to keep repeating that until I'm able to stop crying.

Love the confidence, I've lost mine! Trying to remember that PSG are the ultimate choke artists to get myself back up for it.

Crazy thing is we can still win this group if we win out and Dortmund lose to PSG and Milan. Not saying it's a prediction, more like this group is crazy. Must be fun for the neutrals.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

Still a little worried about that, gone down while changing directions with no contact, usually means fucking ACL time but hopefully he's alright.

He kicked the absolute fuck out of that ball I'm convinced it could have gone anywhere, just happened to be bottom corner!

This dude is so legit, looked totally sound on the left, maybe not as much going forward but that's okay. Bad news for Hall, I guess.

Looked 100% a premier League player through the full game today, and of course the pass was very pretty.

Beautiful assist today

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.
