2+ - @manutd have scored 2+ goals in 15 consecutive home matches for the fourth time in their history, and for the first time since March-October 2000. Rampant.

Horrible watching Betis fans throwing seats, plastic bottles, lighters & anything else they could find into the disabled section, then they took their belts off & tried to get at Utd fans only then did the police get heavy with them & forced them back, it’ll be tasty over there
 
I'm reading a lot of Liverpool fans online commenting that they would be happy to not win a trophy this season because beating Manchester United 7 nil is better than any trophy :unsure:

If it makes you happier to beat a team in another city than it does to win a trophy? You are not a fan of your club, you are just a person with a childish, irrational grudge against a load of strangers (y)

Tbf, it does depend on the circumstances. I’d almost guarantee you that under Fergie when we collected trophies regularly, I’d probably trade an FA cup or Carabao cup (league cup) for that type of result against a rival. While we can always repeat cup wins, 7-0 against a rival is much harder to replicate and in truth has a longer shelf life. I’d even guarantee Real Madrid fans would trade a UCL trophy for a 7-0 result over Barcelona because they win it so often.

That said, considering we hadn’t won a trophy in 6 years, I’d happily take a trophy over a one off result but it’s all about perspective
 
Women currently 1-0 down. Utd been all over them first 30 and had 2 clear peno turned down. Chelsea scored a good goal on the break
 
**** football. **** English referees. How it the ***** **** is that a red card?
 
The FA needs a reset, that means replacing every ref in the league. Apparently, it’s okay for defenders to block passes with their hands as long as they’re on all fours. And then the casemiro red card? Ffs, that’s a yellow.
 
Only saw the red.
He jumps in to the tackle with both feet off the ground, one of the feet is knubs ahead. He got unlucky because of the bounce but that is idiotic thing to do and red is fair shout. Second straight red for him in PL, never got them in La Liga. Think now because it is second 4 or 5 match ban?

But yeah inconsistency is a ***** with refs.

Video?
We agree on inconsistency, it is sad but happens to **** all teams. But this still does not make his tackle right.

SERIOUS FOUL PLAY

A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play.

Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.

If this rule were followed to the letter, “crunching” tackles would cease to exist. Doesn’t take into account if the ball was won or not


Best clip I could find
 
Amazing player but he needs to learn this ain't LaLiga where all the refs are paid off.
