  1. What a fantastic Sunday. 85 points with 12 to play for is insane. Love this club.
  2. On the practice broadcast, they were talking about the Ferraris smelling different upon ignition. Were they implying something nefarious was going on? Or just that they use a different mixture? I guess I didn't really understand.
  3. Chelsea didn't start Hazard for their Europa League matchup today. In fact, they didn't start Hazard, Higuain, Luiz, Kante, Loftus-Cheek or Hudson-Odoi.
  4. Thanks. United and Spurs look similar to me. Didn't realize both companies did that fade.
  5. I've never really cared who the kit maker is, but I don't like any of the Nike PL kits for this season. Obviously our shirts and shorts are supposed to be just one color but the fade-in to the shorts thing they did with Spurs and United look awful to me. I've liked the last few NB kits, but I don't buy them for myself so whatever.
  6. There's supposed to a change to the handball rule on June 1. Still clear as mud.
  7. How has Smalling avoided a persistent fouling booking?
  8. You're reading too much into it. Playing this particular opponent on a bigger pitch is a disadvantage. That's all I said. Yeah, it's always been bigger. Pretty sure it's the largest in the PL at the moment. Anfield is one of the smaller pitches in the league.
  9. Old Trafford's pitch is bigger. Couple that with the fact they don't really ask their strikers to work back that hard and Pogba isn't going to put in a defensive shift, and gaps will open up for Barcelona as the game wears on. They were probably smart not to include Matic in this game. It's a bad opponent for him.
  10. I think the size of United's pitch is a real disadvantage for this particular United team against slick passing teams like Barcelona.
  11. Yeah, that wasn't close to being offside.
  12. Ali's had a couple of mistakes. At Leicester early in the season was the worst one. At Spurs was a bad one early in the year too. Neither cost us points and I can't think of any cheap goals he's allowed that have cost us points. I suppose you could argue he should've saved Aguero's goal against City, but that's picking nits. I can think of several times that he's either contributed directly to a goal or saved a goal which ultimately saved or won us points. There's no comparison between him and Migs. Having said that, there's an article in the Echo about how professional Migs has been this entire season. He's started 2 cup matches for us and that's it. For a 31 year old keeper, that's suboptimal, but he's put on a good face, not made any waves and supported the team through this entire season. He should be applauded for that.
  13. I saw the Charlie Daniels Band at a rodeo when I was 5 or 6 in 1979. The first concert I went to was Loverboy in Sioux Falls, SD in 1983 (maybe '82).
  14. They slumped a little last year after we knocked them out so I hope something similar happens.
  15. Sturridge coming on and working hard. Good for him.
  16. I'm ok with just passing it around in their half the rest of the match.
  17. It's tough because it's so in between. One of them needs to take charge of it though.
  18. Geezus. Those 2. Get your shit together Ali and VVd.
  19. This is what I hate about VAR. Get the game on.
