dmcdad:

why do you feel Conte would do that?

Nace5:
But wait ooo who else is tempted to take point hits?

It all part of the game but they will not always yield gains.

Ibime:
His mojo never left. His attacking stats were even better than last season, he just wasn't scoring his chances. Na where to get money be the problem.

As in. A whopping 12.9m, Vardy is on his way out of my team any way but I need another big exit and I am considering Alonso out for Laporte or maybe Rudiger.

Time to get Salah back? A goal and two assists suggest he is getting his mojo back.

iamJ:
I don't know if you guys have had this argument before, so let me say my own part


I usually support kepa, even when Liverpool scored us I supported him because,, there was nothing he could do but those two martial goals could have easily be saved, especially the 2nd one, he just freezed and didn't move, those goals were errors from him, I hope he learns from it

I can't believe this you believe kepa could have saved any of those goals? How if may ask? The second goal was a curved shot very hard to save without adding the fact that Azpi was blocking his line of sight.

Lana1:
I don't think u ve a right to say this if u're the one who narrowly avoided a defeat by a last minute goal.

Its not like u just drew to Newcastle.

An Android, data and good network says I have the right to post whatever I want besides seeing that we dominated for most parts of the game further makes what up there balderdash.

elampiro:
Mark Dean is always against Manchester United.

Where has there ever been six minutes added without a long injury treatment and the player tied to a stretcher

Mike Dean is not in charge of additional time is he? That should be the match commissioner's Job.

nihilistjnr:
After the ball entered net, he got up and started running with no issues.

he gave away that goal with his faking

Exactly he needed no treatment and as if that was not enough David 'CALAMITY' Luiz suddenly thought he was some kind of sweeper reborn and ran out crazily to intercept a ball he had no business going for. This draw is like a loss to me and my hope of we somehow winning the league this seasonis fast blowing away. As for Morata the less said about the ninny the better.

Alonso was the mumu that slept on the floor when the play was still against us. This are the kind of moments you miss defenders like Terry.

who the Bleep was ball watching instead of covering for the man on the floor.

Thecassanova:
Na Giroud suppose start this game

I swear. Morata is a real headache mehn hold up zero, finishing bad, positioning sef average. Just running up and down.

popizaino:
There is a reason why luis aragones trusted fabregas to start ahead of xabi alonzo in the biggest game of his career.There is also a reason why fabregas made the team of the Tournament and xabi alonzo didn't .Not until xabi alonzo acrimonious move to real madrid fabregas usually enjoyed some of game time than the former Liverpool man .


Now alonzo is better than fabregas ignoring the stats .well I believe since am not a stat junkie like raumdeuter. I can do simple eye test but please try to call your fellow bayern Munich fans up when they hide under stats to berate hazard.

The biggest game of their career should be WC final which Alonso started and fabregas didn't. Maybe you mean Euro 2008 final.

The man has a look of cold resolve on his face.

A40:
Ol boy you be retired boxer? This punchline is heavier than an overhand right from Riddick Bowe

That guy is a veteran of many battles, I remember he once had a mob gunning for him in the romance section back then. The number of people against him was so great I truly felt for him.

Just watched Altered Carbon season one and I can't wait for the second season. Who has seen Queen of the South? I hope it is interesting.

SIRcumalot:
I bin think the same before.

Where we'll go if the sheet don't work out (looks like it won't),
Is: hire a football director;
sell the dablord and any other big name player;
find a small manager with a good track record of playing
extremely attaractive football,basically a new Klopp;
Pump another 500million pounds to get his players.

Then we have to be patient if the trophy don't come for some years,Because if we have learnt anything about ourselves as fan since SAF,it is that we value entertainment pass trophy. We just gats be patient enough for the two to collide.

Should this happen then you should all deactivate cause the trolling would take a 3d dimension brah. You would be seeing it live everywhere you go.

Roland17:
British journalists have always had the last laugh, they remain undefeated especially against Mourinho.

It can be likened to when a man goes to war against his "Chi"(God)

Exactly he would always rant and give them what they want. He tried to answer the question with wit but he just couldn't endure the lack of RESPEKT.

Just watched the press conference and I couldn't stop laughing. Mou came prepared for the Journalists.

Davies coming in nonsense, mehn I had Iwobi with five points ready to fill in.
