Shelvey being an idiot, how unlike him

Always been a snidey ****.

Thing is, he doesn't need to be. All he lacks is pace. He's everything else to be at a top 6 side. But his attitude at times beggars belief.

31 goals from the opening weekend.

31 goals from the opening weekend.

Over 3 goals a game. It's not the best league in the World. (Although the more top quality comes in the more it's pushing that way.). But man alive is it the most exciting. And the speed and quality it's all played out at. Phew.

Call me a bit cynical and understanbly there are a lot of issues over it. But I quite like having the PL spread over Friday to Sunday. Just seems like a longer weekend, of football and that's always a good thing!

When you try force through a move to the most hated team in your Country and a major rival of your current club.

How's that bench looking Kylian mate?

Difference is that those players wouldn't even make the bench.

It's funny how everyone expected Pep to come in and rejuvenate/revolutionize English football, but almost been like it's actually Conte that's done it (system wise anyway).

Utd tried his shape out, Arsenal switched to it, the English national team have been trying it out, heck even Pep himself has tinkered around with it, and now Barca are expected to shape up like this tonight:

I'm not saying there was no such thing as 3-5-2 before Conte came along, obviously, but he's definitely brought it back trending with his success with it at Chelsea.
