Wow that quote from Boris Johnson... irony is dead.

It's shocking this has support from anyone tbh

I've only played a bit since completing the quest line for their big update - but they did add another new update with new quests. I just haven't played much of it lately. That game's always a good time if you've got a good group of friends on, but otherwise... it can be a bit dull. And you've also got to set aside 2-3 hours to play, which can be impossible sometimes. Most of what I've been playing lately is Rocket League, which is like my bread and butter

It looks like the Witcher with pirates. I'm interested.

This song always reminded me of my grandad (and my dad - cos they were both bakers, well my dad still is lol). RIP Grandad

Social media's emboldened racists

Rashford was given some abuse too for making comments defending Pogba. It’s got to be so disheartening for black players in England to see racism in football still so prevalent. But rather than monkey chants they deal with it once they’re off the pitch and on their Twitter or insta

My Grandad just died. He was one of the greatest people I ever knew. I just want to go home right now

He also cites a poster/post that's not on here

Every club in England tbh

I think what happened with City has more to do with a stupid rule than VAR. My biggest issue with VAR is how they keep the flag down even if someone is obviously well offside. It’s unnecessary as fuck.

I think players should start suing twitter. If twitter isn't going to police itself without motivation, maybe hitting them in their pockets will give them the motivation to do that. The problem there is that unless that person's identified themselves on twitter, they're basically anonymous. But the counterpoint to what I said is that Everton fan got arrested, so clearly it did help. But yeah, I think that's a good thing for twitter users who see this kind of racist stuff to do. But the thing is, how do I know which police to report it to when it's twitter and they've gone fully anonymous? I wouldn't know who they are or where they are from, would I? Or do tweets have that geolocation shite on them?

You literally called us bitter in the last post. But you're right, Pogba is a good player - he's just being asked to do too much in a midfield that's not suited to him looking as good as he should look. You can see at Juve and France he's got quality. So it's not hard to see what's gone wrong for him at United.

I bet Pogba would look better in a side with better attacking options and where he's not the only person who's creating chances, like Scholes did. The evidence for that is there with his time at Juve and France. I'm not surprised he wants out of Man United, they're holding him back. He should get a move out ASAP, for the good of his career. Should never have made that money move from Juve and instead he'd be playing in Italy, winning titles, and playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. Probably one of the worst career decisions made by a player in a long time.

I respect all opinions, even wrong ones

I predict it’ll be the new Lampard v Gerrard boring & pointless debate

That’ll never happen, there’s people that watch maybe a fraction of the season but get most of their football knowledge from FIFA and they’re usually quite vocal about their football opinions even if they’re shit opinions

Holy fuck, ban that fucking moron from our matches for life. Stupid fucking cunt like that dumb shithead kid with a beachball that should have been shot into the fucking sun

Twitter won't do shit about racism. Racism whips up a frenzy of activity on twitter from racist idiots looking to join in on the "fun" of being cunts to people anonymously on the internet. Then there'll be a headline about the terrible shit that's being said on twitter and... the twitter board of directors probably high fives that they've gotten twitter to show up in the news again. All publicity is good publicity and all that. It's the same reason they don't do anything about bots and fake users, despite all the negative coverage about that.

Kante is one of the best box to box midfielders in Europe, I’m not surprised he made a massive impact. I think most sides would look much better with him in the midfield. He’s an absolute beast. I also thought Pulisic and Pedro both looked very good. When Pedro is in form like that, I love watching him play because you can see him just reading the play so well. Although I don’t enjoy it as much when it’s against us and he’s causing problems for us. Where Chelsea’s problems lie, imo, are at the back. Mostly at CB, where Zouma (who looked quite good at Everton last season) just looks like a mistake waiting to happen. And Christensen is a kid, he’s a good kid but it’s a position where experience matters and sometimes he’ll show naivity. And they’ve also got problems at the striker situation, but they’ve also got a kid they’re developing. But if Giroud or Tammy were better finishers and their good chances were at least on target, there’s a good chance that’d have ended with a FT result in Chelsea’s favour. That might be a bit harsh because Giroud scored, but he also spurned good chances. And Tammy missed a sitter after winning that (non) penalty (also that was the moment where I lost all faith in VAR, although I think the summer should have taught me that - but that’s besides the point). But there was plenty to be encouraged with for Chelsea. Yeah, there are obvious issues - but there’s a lot of positives about the current squad and a long season to work out those issues. Looks like Chelsea have a bit of an easier run after starting with 2 matches against our top 6. I think they’ll pick up plenty of points

6 cops shot in Philadelphia

Skrtel's joined Atalanta. He's also got hair now. TIL Skrtel could grow hair this whole time

Looks like it. We've got some pretty fragile midfielders tbh, with him, the Ox, and Lallana.

Robertson was the one who played Teemu Pukki onside btw
