It's crazy - they beat Liverpool at Anfield playing a solid counterattacking style and since then it's been an absolute free-fall.




United's second goal was offside but Skrtel was lucky not to be sent off so it's a wash. United look great going forward but more than a bit shaky at the back.

How do the Spurs not score on QPR?

Reading's rally from 2-0 down to beat West Brom, 3-2, was the most entertaining match of the weekend. Easily.

As I told my 7-year-old son, sometimes the crap teams give you the hardest-fought matches.

And sometimes they don't. Example No. 1 -- Norwich v. Newcastle from last weekend. Dreadful game.

Pep Guardiola rumored to be headed to Bayern in the summer. That is weird to me.

The FA just released a video saying he wanted to manage in England. Weird, indeed!

Looks like 'Arry the Bungler has stolen Loic Remy from a transfer to Newcastle.

QPR reportedly offered Remy 75,000 quid per week, double the offer from the Toon.

F*ck.

Seems like Pep left money on the table as I don't think Bayern has Chelsea or PSG money.

Eden Hazard sent off for kicking a ball boy and you thought that Bradford making the final was the weirdest thing.

Anyone have a gif of the ball boy's face when he gets up? It's hilarious. MoM for Swansea that lad - looked like he was trying to hump the ball before Hazard kicks it loose.

This whole situation cracked me up. I've seen one remixed gif where Hazard kicks him 4 or 5 times.

Why is he still a ballboy at 17? I just turned 40; can I have a go at it too?

The ball boy is the son of a Swansea City director. The King of the Ballboys also boasted today on Twitter that he would be stationed behind the goal today, "needed for timewasting."

The Toon sign Moussa Sissoko to a SIX AND A HALF YEAR deal. This to go with their manager who has an EIGHT YEAR contract......

....I would make fun of them but then again I support a team who paid them 35 million for Andy Carroll.



Nice to see Ian Ayre doing interviews rather than helping sign players. Go ride your Harley off a cliff you f***in donkey.

My goals are modest this season for the Toon: Just avoid relegation, baby.

Nice to see the Scousers get a chance to hold another of their favourite events.

Can everyone rise and have a minute's silence for Brendan Rogers' job.

Still, it'll give them more chance of finishing fourth.

My first thought as well.

C'est la vie. I guess the English press will have to go back to printing sober and thoughtful analysis about football instead of churning out hysterical, racist, xenophobic exploitation stories and tired personal narratives. You know, just like the old days.
