Vintage Phil Jones.

Pogba was onside there. Astounding miss anyway.

They should be two up. Their keeper should be embarrassed for rolling around on the floor like Neymar.

I thought tonight's episode was really good. You lot are well weird.

I read it somewhere, or someone pointed it out to me a few years ago. I hadn't noticed it before (to be honest I couldn't even say I hadn't done it myself) but once you're looking for it, yeah it does happen. I would bet that black players and fans notice it more than white guys like myself. Sure, if you call all physical players beasts that's not really a problem. I'm not trying to shame anyone. It's just one of those little things that it's worth looking out for.

Yeah, i was reading that this morning and he's absolutely right. His example of the two stories about young players buying houses is a perfect example of how the papers have double standards and tend to be more critical of black players. This kind of insidious racism needs to be highlighted and pushed back against. I cringe whenever a black player who is physically strong is called a "beast" when a white player with a similar physique would be called a "unit." Sterling is clearly an intelligent guy, and I love the fact that he's willing to speak out, and in such a well-argued way.

It's been a forum tradition to call it the balloon door for a couple of years.

We might finally have a positive goal difference after this match.

Yeah, looks good! Slop a bit of wash on the base, it makes a huge difference.

I kind of feel that if someone produces a finish like that one from Mkhitaryan it should be allowed even if it is offside.

I have to say I disagree about Dalot. He looks like he's going to be a good player, but he's struggled all game defensively.

Mourinho's going to tell us the team have no heart again.

Two really strange goals.

Interesting to see Darmian playing. It's worth mentioning that this is a completely different back five from the weekend. None of these five played against Southampton.
