Following Our Nearest & Dearest Rivals, 2017/2018

[Bogga]

We were wasteful in the first half and should've scored more. In the second we were crap up until the 80th minute. Felt like a late equalizer was about to happen...

I somehow thought Everton had gotten some good players and perhaps might end up 5th or 6th, but with the way they're playing it doesn't feel that way. In all fairness they haven't really had the easist games. The first one was easy, then it's been Utd, City, Chelsea and Spurs

Koeman walks around like he's some elite manager who's too good for Everton when he's just as sh*t as they come. He actually thought Barcelona would consider him when Enrique left

A manager made for the Gooners when Wenger retires.

Just don't know what to say about this.

It is also bad news for the Blues fan who recently got a tattoo of Redknapp leaning out of a car window, although anyone who willingly does that probably has bigger problems.

I see the media are already crowning the two Manchester clubs as potential champions and writing everyone off. city haven't won the league in 3 yrs and Utd haven't even challenged in 4yrs but let's write of the team that's won 2 titles in 3 yrs and 3 points off top after 5 games.

I remember them doing the same last year after a similar number of games

To be fair they are the teams doing the talking on the pitch at the moment, 1/8th of the season.

Have agree with you both teams look better and stronger than last season. Man U now winning the games they were drawing last season and Man City defending better with Kompany fit and better fullbacks.

Let's be fair though, the quality they both have they're definitely favourites. But I see no reason at all to write us off.

City has had the same start for last 2 seasons winning their first 10 games and eventually winning nothing. This season might be different but it's not like we haven't seen this start from them before whilst Utd haven't even played a single decent team.

Anyway f**k it, let them take all the pressure; its actually better for us that way. 

[Stark]

City and Utd have been playing punching bags since the season started for the most part so they should be where they are at in the table.

for all my dog lovers on the shed end

So Man Utd fans are being told to stop singing about Lukaku's penis

[Zeta]

Talksport were going on and on about it earlier, about how its racist and disgusting and one fan even called it a dark day for football.

I haven't heard it, what is the chant?

[Nibs]

Something about him having a 24 inch todger. I'd be made up if anyone sung that about me but it's highly unlikely

[Ukraine Bolt]

To the tune of Made of Stone by The Stone Roses:

 

"Romelu Lukaku,

"He's our Belgium scoring genius,

"He's got a 24 inch penis,

"Scoring all the goals,

"B*****d to his toes."

Since when did those right wing morons become politically correct?

[lukecfc]

People are too quick to accuse others of racism. Man United fans hate black people because they talk about how big Lukaku's cock is? You what?

Everton did not do much with the money they got from Lukaku sales ! Even Gylfi looks like a Torres buy ( OK Exaggeration on my part !!! ) All said and done - great win for United - Last year these were the games that United drew.

Torres won two European trophies and a league cup with us.

 

I'd be amazed if Sigurdson finished higher than seventh in the league.

I meant that for the money we splashed on Torres, we wanted his Liverpool goal scoring streak to continue at the Bridge, sadly it did not. Gylfi seems to be a similar case under Koeman.

For sure.

Sigurdson always looked quality, but he never struck me as a dominating team sort of player. Forever the underdog who drags a poor team to victory. Not exactly the main man in a push for CL footy.

[Scott Harris]

Look's like Liverpool are going out. Slimani finally showing some quality for Leicester there with a great goal.

[Scott Harris]

Danny Ings.....i forgot all about him. Can't believe he is still at Liverpool.
