Joe Hart, deary me.
Joe Hart, deary me.
I don't really know what Scott Brown offers. As a central midfielder he's not a brilliant tackler, not a brilliant reader of the game, not a brilliant passer, he's not a big goal threat and he's prone to moments of complete stupidity like last night which have plagued his entire career. He doesn't even particularly stand out in the SPL, he's just energetic and aggressive in my view. Nothing player.
Joe Hart's turned into Paul Robinson.
Apologies if it sounded like I'm having a dig at Celtic. To get things straight, I'm a Liverpool fan, and my old man is Celtic through and through, so I've grown up supporting both. Very Andy of me.
I love Celtic, but I cannot stand Scott Brown, he has proven himself countless times to be brainless, and every time, Lennon comes out and defends him. Circus was perhaps a bit harsh, but for a manager to come out and defend that sort of behaviour is pathetic, to try and place the blame on the blameless party is even worse. Even Joey Barton's managers know when to distance themselves from his wankery.
I saw the actual kick in real-time, and breathed a sigh of relief when the ref came over with a yellow card in hand, but he was obviously informed by one of his assistants that it was an intentional kick aimed at Neymar, and Brown got what his behaviour deserved. At this point, it would be a lot more acceptable for player and manager to come out and admit fault, instead of claiming that the ref was cheated by the opposition player, because there wasn't MUCH contact..
And again. Fuck me he has turned proper shite.
Seems a long time ago since some idiots were calling him the best in the world.
Not me, When everyone was having a pop at De Gea a year or so ago I said how come the media aren't saying anything about the clangers that Hart drops. Whereas De Gea has improved considerably (not the finished article) Hart has regressed even further. The fact that he is England's number one is worrying.
One of the only good things about Joe Hart was his shot stopping.
Looking forward to Arsenal/Dortmund tonight. I still sort of think of Dortmund as perennial outsiders and overachievers despite all their recent success, but looking at their team nowadays they SHOULD be doing as well as they are. Lewandowski, Reus, Kuba, Bender, Sahin, Hummels, Subotic, Weidenfeller...fuck me that is class. Not seen Mikhtaryan or Aubameyang properly before but obviously their pedigree suggests they should do well too.
Hopefully they stick a few past the tramps tonight so the media will stop bumfucking them for beating the same teams they beat last season when people were saying they were finished and Wenger had to go. I think I'm right in saying Arsenal's points tally this season is actually slightly down compared to the games against the same teams last year. Talk about how good Arsenal are when they've played Dortmund twice, United, Chelsea and Liverpool in the next month.
I think stylistically, Arsenal are the most Dortmund-like team we have in the Premier League, so it will be interesting to see how it goes down tonight, could be an absolute goal-fest.
Think I'll probably be watching the Celtic game on the TV, and then switch between Arsenal/Schalke/Porto games on the computer.
Arsenal/Dortmund for me, with an eye on Milan/Barca and possibly Schalke/Chelsea to have a look at Draxler and Meyer, apparently they are brilliant.
I'll be watch Celtic this evening. Hopefully Lennon can pull something out the bag tonight for the sake of scottish football.
If he's not had his head kicked in by Rowan Vine's pal Alan Shearer.
Arsenal and Dortmund are playing the best football in Europe at the moment so should be interesting. I love watching Marco Reus, he's an absolutely brilliant player and has scary pace. He'll be the next super big money move when he is ready to move on from Dortmund, I think.
Which match is on normal tv?
Goons.
Thats all a bit hilarious isn't it.Originally Posted by Simon
Yeah Rowan Vine seems a bit of a gobshite.
A complete clown.
He's great to watch, along with Lewandowski.
If I had to put my money on the next big money mover, I'd probably go with Gündoğan at this point.
Celtic are pressing Ajax so, so well in the opening here, not letting them breathe. MUST keep it up
this is brilliant from Celtic. Hope Barca maul Milan tonight.
Forrest and Lustig on the same wing is great to watch sometimes. Samaras looks so up for it and Kayal is holding really well in midfield.
Waaaaay Rambo
Why don't you go and watch your own team
Haaaa cry about it. I was honestly about to say there was great atmosphere in the stadium for once but its the.Dortmund fans, fuck me they are loud.
What formation do Arsenal play now, seems like a 4-1-4-1.
Seems like it since we conceded. Usually 4-2-3-1 but Wilshere and Ramsey are both playing further forward at the moment.
Ugh, Wilshere's fucked by the looks of it. We usually make it till November until we get this many injuries.
Shame for Wilshere if he's injured again
That's the second time Weidenfeller has shite himself under pressure, weird.
GEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOO
Ratings to Giroud for the risky smashed finish, would have looked a complete twat if he fucked it.
He could tap that in, but no, full on hulk smash.
What a guy. Top scorer at the World Cup next year, let's get the bets on now.
Giroud only scored six last season?
Actually I'd put as much blame on Kos as Ramsey for the first goal. Stupidly rushed towards the ball and left Mhkrhuhjddj(sp?) in acres of space.
I've enjoyed this game so far.
Wiki says 17 in all comps.
Thought so, where did he pull six from.
COME ON CELTIC AND BARCA YOU FUCKING BEAUTY
Lewandoski's pretty lucky to stay on there, Koscielny helped him out by not reacting probably.
I can't believe those two muppets actually just called for a red card for that.
Pretty enjoyable couple of posts there.
Haha, sorry Andy, bad timing there, but no way on Earth that was a read card.
He puts his arms up like any player would to protect himself and block the player coming from behind. No swing of the arm, never a red mate.
Hmm I don't think so. He didn't even make an attempt to jump, just stuck the arm out knowing Koscielny was behind him. Don't think it would've been a surprise to see a red. Who was calling for a red, the itv bellends?
Yep.
Brutal. Dortmund have been shite in this half and Lewandoski could've been off.
Gibbs got caught in two minds there and paid for it.
Weird to think after Arsenal's great start to the CL, they could now be outsiders to go through seeing as there are three teams on six points and they have to go away to the other two.
I feel like bumping the thread, it isn't worth it - but Hlebs bumped the United one for a draw
I don't think losing to Dortmund is particularly noteworthy. Shame as Arsenal have been the better team this half.
A draw against Southampton is worse than a defeat to Dortmund turdy you nutbag
And Southampton are a quality side.
Is Bendtner trying to annoy Arsenal fans by looking as much like Adebayor as it is possible for a blue eyed, blond haired Scandinavian to be? If so, well done that man.
Good to see grumpy Wenger again. Annoying that you've got a three point banker to look forward to on Saturday.
If Flamini was playing it would've been 4-0
Wenger out.
WAAAAAAAAY
You are Manchester United.
Disappointing loss, we bossed that second half. Dortmund are a good team though and we're still missing Walcott, Flamini, Podolski and Cazorla (from the start anyway).
That'll do. Living dangerously at times, Cech did his thing. Dull in patches, couple of quick breaks which we're great at. Good Torres performance which is a bit of a relief after the sending off/injury just when he was starting to play well again.
Yeah, I'm joking mate.
It's sort of like a funny lie.
Southampton are a pretty good side though.
Did you just attempt to have your cake and eat it?
I don't really have a sweet tooth.
I thought not.
City bloody lucky to win this.
I'm sure they'll be a bit better on Sunday
Hart saving City there with his leg.
That pitch made the game look like it was lagging big time.
Giggs starts for United in midfield. Moyes is getting a lot of unfair criticism from people but to keep picking that old bastard is all on him. At least Ferguson could be accused of being sentimental, Moyes has no excuse.
I can't wait until he starts playing Darren Fletcher in a nappy.
Is Fletcher ever likely to play again?
Or sends a carrier pigeon to deliver a request to Paul Scholes to come out of re-retirement.
RVP back to Arsenal in January
He'd need to get back into form first to get a move.
Nah, all he needs to do is be fit as often as he has been for Man United and Arsenal will consider it a massive boost over last time he was there.
Haha, comedy own goal.
As shit as sociadad have been Man U have been excellent!
Noticed the game is on sky 1 as well, when did they start that?
Well this is easy. Sociedad are terrible at closing down.
Looks like Vela has discovered pies, paella and full fat gazpacho.
Even discounting his current injury situation as I think he's playing through injections at the moment. He was in pretty poor form in the second half of last season that was masked by his form in the first half although that may have may have had more to do with the whole team having nothing to play for as they went out of the champions league early and the league was pretty much over.
1-1 between Juve & Real. Pen to Real right now. Chiellini with a mad high tackle on Ramos.
Anyone listening to this on 5Live? Alan Green is taking swipe after swipe after swipe at Ferguson and his book. Fairly amusing.
Brainless from Chiellini.
Just switched this game on, how is Bale doing? Is he even playing, I see Di Maria is on.
Bale on bench, still coming back from injury innit.
Casual first half hat trick for Zlatan.

Hahahaha Neville coating this ref was great. "Go away".
Why is a player taking a freekick worth a yellow card? I don't know if I've seen that before.
Also quite why Rafael and Chich get in our "wall" is mental. No point in them standing there.
Why are there no subtitles when Jamie Carragher talks?
"LOL"
In my mind he shouts "Zlatan" whenever he tonks a football.
I'm legitimately upset that either Zlatan or Ronaldo won't be at the World Cup.
Amusing miss from Benzema and then an absolutely amazing trip from Pogba.
jesus christ that Benfica pitch
I think I'd rather see Ibrahimovic at the World Cup than Ronaldo at this point. Ronaldo has been unbelievably efficient over the past year but Ibra seems to be skilling it up all over the place more than ever. Absolutely obscene goals tonight and last weekend.
Not to take anything away from Zlatan at all, but Jesus Christ, imagine Ronaldo in the french league.
How/why was that allowed?jesus christ that Benfica pitch
His goal from the weekend
Ashley Young is an embarrassment. Also, Van Persie seems to miss a shitload of really simple chances. Maybe 2-3 open nets in the past few months.
It's pretty obvious too that the main difference between United this season and last is that Van Persie was scoring everything and horsing everybody this time last year and now he's passing up a lot of chances. The performances aren't massively different.
Nasri played beautiful footy tonight, total joy to watch
Kagawa has been excellent since playing through the middle. He links the play better and retains the ball better than Rooney, more intelligent in that position. It'd be interesting to see him playing off Rooney maybe.
I love Jurgen Klopp. Perhaps my favourite person on football atm
We should have won that game easily. Chich got a shite bounce, RVP should have scored despite tonking the post and obviously the penalty.
An average performance from United but Sociedad were shit.
Pathetic
