Kid Icarus

Not doing a formation, just smushing the best players in: Given Beye (another few months and it'll probably be Trippier) Woodgate José Enrique Solano Beardsley Lee Ginola Ben Arfa Cole Shearer

There's smoke with Pep because of his past, but Man City don't at all strike me as a team on PEDs to the extent that Liverpool do.

I know it was going wide, I remember it at the time. In open play there was no way anyone watching it was confident of that though.

Yeah that's incredibly bias like. In real time that very much looked like it was going in and it was a save he had to make.

I don't buy this weaker team narrative whatsoever like. We got to a Euro final and a World Cup semi. You could make the case at the World Cup, but not the Euros, where we got to the final by either playing strong teams or 'weak' teams who'd somehow beaten stronger teams to get to us.

That save he pulled off against Colombia is one of the best saves I've seen in my life tbh, was absolutely incredible.

Pickford's pulled off some absolute worldies for England man. I'd love to know what Southgate and the England camp does for the likes of him, Maguire, and Shaw, because it truly is night and day in terms of their performances.

Might have something to do with him being a good enough goal scorer to have scored 1 in every 3 Premier League games like. At least until he came here anyway. There have been tons of players over the years who've made up for their weaknesses with other strengths like, I dunno why a special case is made out of Chris Wood tbh.

Stinking emaciated rat needs a good hiding

Probably wrong, but I feel like the last time there was a title race, top 4 race, and relegation battle going this late into the season was 11/12

Fucking hell, he's 29!?

Even the England version of him? Easy to say like, his Man United form is terrible, but I do wonder about a few of the players there and what they'd be like in a healthier environment

Aye, it's very...

Just throwing this out there purely for the crack, but if we had the possibility of getting the England version out of him... ...Harry Maguire?

The likening of Everton to the Mackems is honestly the most ridiculously big and unwitting compliment you could pay to the Mackems like. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everton_F.C. Go to the honours.

Him and Bowen have been the driving force behind West Ham getting within a shout of the top 4 imo like. So much more to a player than their on the ball ability as well. Class at the Euros as well. Every chance he goes to Man United or somewhere else and flops though.

"Our owners man"

So pleased we can just watch this with our piña coladas like

Typical, the one time I would have enjoyed a Chelsea win

It wasn't, the ref gave a yellow. Just bare in mind that the ref who wasn't going to give the red against Brentford until VAR told him to, was on VAR duty himself in our match yesterday

He's looking old old now like

Similar circumstances. No intent to harm, genuine attempt to go for/shield the ball, had every right to go for it, but endangers Targett and goes studs down on Targett's ankle. Mane's is the same for me except that he goes studs down on Dubravka's thigh/knee

I don't get what you're not seeing? Do you think the red card on Matt Targett away to Brentford was a red?

It doesn't really matter because it comes under reckless play and endangering your opponent. Totally agree that if that's on anyone except the 'keeper, everyone's rightly calling for a red.

Abstract is far better than any attempt at realism. Absolutely love the Millburn one, but then Shearer looks like The Head from Art Attack and SBR looks a bit cartoonish.
