It's true what people say about Van Dijk being lazy. The guy walks off the pitch at full time with barely a hair out of place or dirt and grass on his shorts. I don't know how he got the reputation for being one of the best defenders in the Premier League.

do you mind? best centre half of all time apparently! when he doesnt play well they roll out the 'hes not the player he was before his acl injury' line.

How was the Rashford goal onside? He was clearly a foot in front, then somehow VAR drew a straight line and make it the same wave length. Expect Neville to call Te Hag a genius after this.

i dont care about them leapfrogging us they beat Liverpool, whose fans see their players as demi gods

Wish I had put a punt on Arsenal winning the league, it would go against every fibre of my being on principles.. but it’s not beyond comprehension, really. And those odds would have been good.

He looked off to me too... 

Tinfoil hat time!

My commentator said the head of the last defender (can't remember who it was) was just ahead of Rashford and therefore he wasn't offside. His head, seriously! Wasn't it supposed to be about feet back in the day when football was invented?

The new and improved offside trap.

After losing their opening 2 games United are a point behind us. Yup ain't that grand...

This weekend just shows what commitment can get you. Leeds Newcastle and United were all underdogs but grafted their way to results. 

Also I've never seen a more unsportsmanly w**ket than Bruno Fernandes. He's a disgrace. 

Although I prefer Utd to the dippers, I think without question, Fernandez is the most objectionable footballer around these days.

He dives at the slightest touch and rolls around holding his face at every opportunity. He is always moaning at the ref, waving imaginary cards and just acting liking a total prick. But that grabbing the ball and refusing to let go - that should be a straight red IMO. How was he not sent off last night? Honestly looking forward to the day when an opponent snaps him in half with a crunching tackle and really give him something to roll about for.

Barcelona : Man City friendly at Camp Nou just looks like another cash boost for Barcelona, can't remember Pep doing this in the past after the PL has started but now the whole team went there to play for no reason.

That is flipping bizarre, having a friendly during the season and using 1st teamers too? Are City trying to put a handicap on themselves seeing as they've already won the league in August lol.

Is this some kind of 3D chess move to help Barca make ends meet so de Jong doesn't go to United?

An opportunity to tap up Bernado while he's in the City. If City drops points this weekend, they know whom to blame.

I think so, over 90k people went to see the match so if the ticket cost 30 that alone is over 2.7m euros. Pep is destined to become a politician once he retires 😅

Klopp to do a Dortmund on Liverpool?

He's entering his 7th season at Liverpool. He left Dortmund after his 7th season.

No denying he's been a great coach for Liverpool, but his style of play is physically taxing and runs players into the ground after a while.

West Ham breaking the bank to sign Paqueta from Lyon. 

Keep an eye on him, he's a real talent. 

Could be Payet 2.0 (you know, until he reverted to being crap)
