Missed yesterdays fixtures as I couldn't find the thread and I was too stupid to think to check the stickies. Forest 1 - 4 West Ham Chelsea 1 - Tottenham Hotspur 2 Liverpool 5 - 0 Crystal Palace

The “fuck you” at the end, I… I felt that.

Saw her earlier today saying she wouldn’t take any of our defenders over Maguire.

The players hide behind the board. They play awful today but not many are looking at the players. All blame goes on the board who over the last decade, have the highest net spend of any football club in world football. There was plenty of our players coasting along the same way and it took Howe a little while to get that loser mentality out of them. Shine the spotlight on Bruno Fernandes, Jadon Sancho, Ronaldo…are the board stopping them having a responsibility to give their all? Fuck them, they don’t have a clue how bad it can get supporting a football club with an owner who is disinterested. They’ve ate good.

I like how Pope and Botman are left blank as though they're unsure, but they're absolutely certain of Sean's wage. Bit surprised if Trippier is on £140k?

On the pitch, he looks scared of his own shadow. At the negotiating table, he must have balls of absolute steel.

Sancho seriously on them kind of wages?

In one page of RedCafe, one member is calling for Mourinho to come back and another is saying they need to do a Newcastle.

"But it is the Glazers fault we've spent so much money"

Google Reddit Soccer Streams. Click the match then the first 2 or 3 links are usually good to go.

Kluivert and Bellamy should have been our strike force at the time but Shearer was never getting benched. Did he actually have a Kluivert message board?

Man, compilation music has gone way downhill since the compilation video that has yet to be topped.

There is one man I know who could take Pearson on in a fight. A man who was once in primary school, and still made it to WrestleMania 2000 then school the next morning.

The problem he will encounter is, he has made it known his weakness is chest pats and people using swear words in the vicinity around him. I’d still back him in any fight and against any opponent but they’re two glaring weaknesses.

Last week of the window alone will throw up all kinds of options that were closed doors at this point of the window. There will be a few players from the weekends round of fixtures getting itchy feet.

Talking to someone who was on the train, said Maxi was friendly and approachable, he refused photos because he was with his child which is more than reasonable. A quick Google shows that that does appear to be his signature. Odd attempt to smear a player who has been generous to fans with his time and money on multiple occasions.

There's too many players coasting at Man United. They know that no matter how bad the result, the anger is directed to the owners.

Brentford equalise against Leicester.

Ronaldo getting changed, can’t be topless anywhere other than in front of the cameras away from his own seat. The Ronaldo show due to commence, the superglue to put the back door back on with.

62% possession and only 8 touches in the opposition box. Pretty horrendous.

David de Weeeeyyyyyy on the second goal.

The thing with a corner like that is you’re giving the keeper first dibs on it. You might create a little confusion from the defenders but the corner kick taker is aiming for an area rather than a target, so the defending team has the advantage.

They were poor but our off the ball work was brilliant. If we lost a 50/50, we had a man dropping into the space where the ball was headed, Joelinton in particular did really well at this. If Miggy pressed, Trippier pushed in front of their winger to cut out the short ball. They were left with limited options to go short and we had no trouble when they went long. Better sides will work around the press but I don’t think we will approach a City or Liverpool game with the same defensive work as shown today.

I do think he is quite an intelligent player though, he was making some really smart runs and Bruno was playing him in wonderfully. He also seems to have a knack of knowing when to press. You can see improvements from him under Howe but there are certain situations he found himself in today that require an instinctual reaction, such as when the ball was played across and he should have got his right foot on it to poke it towards goal. His natural reaction was to take a touch on his left and try to work an angle before he made the pass instead. He had a near identical chance of a goal he scored in pre season today when he found himself to the right of the goal and managed to open up his body for a left foot shot but it went too close to Henderson.
