NV you weren't even kidding were you?!

"Mkhitaryan 'always dreamed of playing for Arsenal'"

i read that as "always dreamed of not playing for Moyes"

thought about doing a poll as to whose career gets the bigger boost until the end of the season but i cannot be bothered tbh

same

Jesus Christ why would anyone sign for mourinho

starts with a "f" and ends with a "ourteen million pound per year"

He could have got that not working for a cunt who plays shit football

maybe he found Pep's air of wounded saintliness offputting

There are others again.

I'm sad that alexis has gone to man u as i don't see them going anywhere and i would have liked him to chase silverware with his last big contract.

although at 300k a week I'm sure he won't be too upset

I feel the same, and I still pretend to like Man U.

Amazing

Swans as dire as you can imagine, go 1-0 up

utd squad: assemble! ;)

lol what an ending

astonishing miss from i think firmino

I love it when Klopps chucks a CB up front

Astonishing Firmino Lallana double miss there.

6 points between 10th and 20th.

I like this lfc team I don't think demanding nuts consistency on top of all the progress already made is fair just yet so good luck to em and may we all hammer united into sixth next year

except they're doing the same thing they've always done - raising their game against the best team in league, losing to the worst the next week. It's as predictable as it is satisfying

not convinced swansea are the worst team in the league any more

semantics

they do have an awful lot of 'lost to hull' and suchlike in their recent past

Newcastle signing Kenedy from Chelsea, which is kinda interesting I guess

First name Marc

impressive showing from Swansea's back 10. tbf they were gritty. 50 minutes in it was obvious Liverpool werent going to get a goal. sheer panic set in, I think the defenders had more shots on goal than the strikers.

xps regarding "Mkhitaryan 'always dreamed of playing for Arsenal'" i heard he was an arsenal fan as a kid

then again this could just be a lil robbiekeanism

I can't work out if Mkhitaryan is going to absolutely fly when freed from the shackles of turgid Joseball or if he's going to be called a fraud and a wasteman by some spittle-flecked Arsenal Fan TV interviewee every single week from now until he signs for Galatasaray.

This was from a 2009 interview with UEFA apparently:

"My favourite team is Arsenal," he explained, while still playing for home-town side Pyunik between 2006 and 2009. "I like their attacking play and fast style. Moreover, Arsène Wenger puts faith in young players while demanding results at the same time. I like that and want to play there one day."

“For the record I definitely don’t eat worms and I never did” said Dyche, before burping up a worm.

Brilliant.

"Look as if you’re chewing it and then spit it out, wash your mouth with water. It was a bit of banter that Soren has probably taken a bit too far, he was probably turning away at that moment. He’s a good lad."

The defense rests.

we need to get The Wisdom Of Gaffers going again

the mind that believes chewing worms is banter is a mysterious one indeed

If you're following this on Sky, it's worth pointing out that literally everything Danny Mills just said is incorrect

aww is this over already?

Group 1

Germany
France
Netherlands

lmao when will the hurting stop

ireland and denmark reunited

The what now

mou extends, ffs

What's the deal with Sanchez's missed drug test? Is this some supreme clowning of Mourinho on Wenger's part or something?

Lucas fuckin Moura tho

One moussa sissoko quite enough for any team you'd have thought. 25 million worth a punt of in today's money though

literally the Brazilian Andros Townsend
