Football: Insert Ted Lasso joke here

[Mr. Chatywin et al.]

More comedy. 

[Soylent Brown]

Firmino's having a brilliant game. Looked good from the first minute, and now has 3 assists and a goal to his name. (Although the second assist was actually just a terrible touch that fell really nicely to Elliott.)

Much better from everyone, especially Fabinho, but we still need more in midfield.

[A Horse Named Stranger]

I see, Firmino decided to show that he's still good.

In more important news.

2-2. Somewhat in equal measures lucky and frustrating game.

Frustrating, because having a great spell of possession is useless, when you produce braindead howler at the back. And thus go into halftime 0-1 down.

Frustrating, you win a penalty thanks to the sleepyness of an opposing defender, only to blow that.

Lucky, you still manage to score an equalizer.

Frustrating you run into a counter, and a former youth reject scores against you.

Lucky, narrow offside call, paired with the VAR waiting frustration.

You get 6 minutes injury time

You again concede the 1-2 again, your youth reject after a counter (Sirlord is pretty fast on his feet). This time it was so obviously no offside, as he just slipped through 2 centrebacks. Fucking donkeys.

Lucky 90+4 you manage to score the very late equalizer after a corner.

Meh, on balance, I take the draw.

Someone's hacked Soylent's account.

He hasn't got time to post. He's eating the biggest portion of humble pie ever. 

[Soylent Brown]

Him having a great game today doesn't mean that he wasn't shit yesterday. I give him praise when he plays well, he just hasn't done that very much in the last few years.

I would absolutely love it if he went on a good run of form like 17/18 and 18/19.

United should really walk away though. A real DoF would have put an end to this 2 months ago.

On the other hand, Chelsea are willing to throw 60m at Everton for Gordon, then by all rights Ajax can demand a chunk more for Antony.

I’d like to play Bournemouth every week

Ajax were always going to demand 80-100m for Antony. They made it clear in June or early July that Antony and Timber are not for sale unless an obscene offer comes in. A real DoF would have moved on then.

[A Horse Named Stranger]

Yeah, but on the other hand, EPL clubs have more money than sense, and that's particularly true for United.

[Consigliere]

Yeah, and nobody has argued otherwise wrt United. If United had a proper DoF instead of learning-on-the-job Murtough, the club would've moved on in early July before preseason. 

[Soylent Brown]

6-0, with a dodgy own-goal influenced by the presence of an offside Diaz. Personally I think the offside should have been called, but it probably won't affect the result.

Anyway, fuck it, I feel a little bit bad for Bournemouth and Scott Parker's jacket, but let's go for the record.

[Mr. Chatywin et al.]

7-0. Love it.

[Mark Antony]

Wonder if Rodgers gets sacked

[Darryk]

This is brutal.

[Mr. Chatywin et al.]

2-0 Chelsea on a red!!!

[The Sunland Lord]

City level

[Consigliere]

Reece James is like a cheat code. At last Tuchel has come to his senses and put his best player in his best position.
