when did you become a Bilbao fan

 

few years ago whenever i decided to get more into soccer.

 

Yeah but how many other teams do you root for or is that just a cfb thing?

 

That's just a college thing haha. Two degrees + family ties haha

 

Having watched it back, what he did is crazy. To get into that fight with Zaha through a stupid angry foul is dumb enough, but he clearly never calmed down after. Definitely deserved to go.

 

Just watched the highlights and thought exactly the same. He literally Rugby tackles Zaha.

 

We’re used to it, really. When a small team beats a big team, the focus is nearly always on the big team being bad. But yeah, we were excellent today. Vieira’s approach is really starting to show. And French Eddy touching the ball 5 times and scoring two was the icing on the cake!

 

Yeah. The fact that both of them got a yellow was crazy to me. If Zaha gets booked for the scuffle surely Tanganga gets two yellows for the fouls and the fight.

and then to make the tackle he got sent off for was just insane. It was clear the ref told him it was his last chance. It was a soft foul for the second yellow but thoroughly deserved.

 

So based on a United fan survey I've just received and completed, they're planning on launching an Esports competition hosted from Old Trafford, with games potentially taking place every two weeks. Also potentially launching or sponsoring their own Esports team.

I'm honestly kinda surprised it's taken them this long actually.

 

Espanyol done dirty by the ref with that much stoppage time. Deserved at least a point.

 

Carrasco looks better after that spell in China. I would of expected the opposite.

 

Klopp showing a lot of trust in Elliott so far.

 

Leeds getting run all over the place here

 

(Semedo was still better than both)

 

Questionable for offside on that 2nd goal surely? I know a check was done, but still.

The man on the line would have blocked the shot, but Mane was directly in front of his eye line and moved to the left, which the man on the line followed, thus moving out the way of where the ball ended up going. Clear intervention in play isn't it?

 

Brutal for Elliot. That looks like a bad bad break

 

Absolutely gutted for Elliott. Hope it's nowhere near as bad as it seems.

Didn't look a red card at all so I hope that gets overturned too.

 

Mane's still got the speed of turn and strength in 1v1s but man, his end product has fallen off a cliff. Spurns so many good situations.

 

Positive jinx. Perfect.

 

Absolutely horrible injury for Elliot. So unlucky too, just got caught in the worst angle imaginable for what the tackle was.

I think the red was justified because the player left the ground though, I can see exactly what he was trying. Just very unlucky.

 

This kid is gonna be so good

 

thf to Emerson he’s young and barely trained with us before being thrown into a lineup that’s bad even for our standards

 

Ajax have been denied the chance to play in their Bob Marley inspired kit this week by UEFA. How petty of them.

 

don’t be suspicious don’t be suspicious
