Wow! Style looks good as well.....players able to dribble, pass and move, and shoot straight, even on a pitch that looked heavy. Saw one hoof....but it led to a goal.....

Lovely touch at the end, as the players went to thank individual fans by the fencing. Team spirit excellent, supportive of each other.

Thanks for that, BTID.     SKD, well done!

I made the same mistake. Possibly the worst game I've seen them play under Mourinho made even worse by the fact it's exactly the style he wanted them to play - effing boring. 
Pogba was awful and the rest of them weren't much better, especially against a team with the likes of Blackburn reject Nzonzi playing for them. 
They're doing well to consolidate 2nd place in the Premiership so they should get back into the CL next year, but what's the point if they play like that when they get there?

Blackburn reject?! He was brilliant for them, as he was when he could be bothered to turn up for Stoke.
Quality player and another outstanding find from BSA.

Nice to see not all footballers have flash cars.

I was told by a friend last night that Jesse Lingard went to her kids school yesterday for a visit and turned up in a Bentley with a driver

My sister-in-law is a mate of his mother. Says he's a really nice lad. First thing he did when he got a few quid was buy his mum a house.

And next week he's going to buy her some dolls to put in it.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's Super Diver 

Tom Daley would be proud of that one, the referee on the other hand.....

Reading have just sacked Jaap Stam, with them sitting 3 points above the relegation zone in 20th position.

Just watched Wales batter China 6 nil, and Bale got a hat trick to break Ian Rush's national record in the process. Expected a lot more from China now they have such a competitive league. The Championship players were all impressive TBH.

My late,and much missed Geordie mate would have loved this. His nephew Carl scores another belter.

England v Italy at Wembley tonight should be a better test of Southgate's youngsters but the good news is that Chiellini (who is immense IMO) won't be playing. Should win but Italy will press and defend much better than Holland did so good preparation for the World Cup.

Holland stuffed the current Euro champions Portugal last night. We beat and dominated Holland. Therefore we're clearly going to win the World Cup.

Being stuck inside with a bad back has its compensations. Looking through some old press photo's I came across this one of Warwick Rimmer holding the Third Division trophy. No idea why Charlie Wright is standing on one leg.

Pardew sacked by WBA. Yet some club will still be daft enough to give him a go.

City well and truly hammered tonight, they just couldn't cope with Liverpool's pressure first half.

And still, 3-0 might not be enough.

I see that the Liverpool fans still can’t control themselves.
