How was he not sent off??

 

Bergwijn goes down easy in the box. Soyuncu stands over him and yells. Bergwijn gets up shoves him. Soyuncu then goes down easy.

Then Bergwijn scores 2 goals in a min lmao

 

Some of the worst defending and game management I have ever seen from Leicester

 

All of their shitty time wasting gave us extra time

 

I changed my mind don’t sell Stevie

 

I will NEVER understand the hype Soyuncu got a couple of years ago. Atrocious defender

 

Happy for Rashford

 

Great finish by Rashford.

 

Chin up, Ronaldo.

 

Fantastic. One of our two midfielders is injured. Scott has to go off. We absolutely need to buy a midfielder this month

 

I turned the game off when Berg got the yellow to run something to the post office drop box.

Spurs fans can Venmo me at…

 

When that happened I literally said “why do I even watch this”. Two minutes later I’m back! Haha

 

Decent performance overall. Good second half. But there were still moments where we completely ceded control to them and they probably should have scored a couple. Promising, but not there yet. We really need to bring in a midfielder.

 

Could honestly be a blessing in disguise (as long as it's not serious) if it makes the board pull their fucking fingers out

 

6W-3D-0L with this broken mediocre squad is pretty impressive from Conte.

 

105 points this week on FPL and still gutted I didn't pull the trigger on triple captaining Bruno.

 

Orlando City's Exploria Stadium will host the last U.S. WCQ home match! I'm really excited but probably won't wind up going because I'm sure ticket prices are going to be ridiculous.

 

And we needed a miracle to win

 

Congrats! Here I am shitting a brick at the thought of you catching me

 

Haha! This was pure luck, it won't last! I'd kept Salah for too long over Christmas and after AFCON started, so had to take a punt this week to sort it out. Thankfully it paid off thanks to a lot of other games being called off and injuries and that. Sure Bruno will now go back to not hauling haha

 

All I can really say is yikes

 

Chelsea are fucked. But yeah this is good. Hopefully it stops big clubs hoarding players. Although I suspect we will just see even more buy back clauses.

 

mountain out of a molehill

Over the last ten days, The Athletic has been able to establish the following:

• Liverpool decided to send their players for precautionary PCR tests using a laboratory called BioGrad after a round of negative lateral flow tests
• Liverpool requested the postponement before knowing the results from this additional round of testing
• Liverpool conducted this additional testing because they were fearful of a second outbreak at the club, but it went beyond what was needed to get the tie played
• Positive results were then returned for 13 players
• When these erroneous tests were discounted, neither the club or any of the other authorities in the process highlighted that development publicly
• Klopp’s incorrect terminology triggered the EFL into thinking it might have to open an investigation. However it is clear that Liverpool had no motive to get the game called off
• Some Liverpool players were unhappy and frustrated they were unable to play in two games and were forced into isolation, away from their families, despite not having COVID-19

 

This exempts players U-21 and/or homegrown from the limit though so not sure how much it truly impacts them. The limit on loans being one year is going to be a bigger issue for Italian clubs. I feel like they love them some two year loan deals (cough Juve cough).
