I hope Benatia's injury isn't serious but it didn't look good.
But yeah Dante back there makes me nervous..

Away win at Preston. Christ.
Maybe this will finally be our year?
I hate this. It's the hope that ultimately crushes you.

West Ham Bournemouth match was wild.

Wow, well played Bournemouth. They deserved more at Anfield so I feel less guilty now.

Spurs conceding 15 seconds after scoring is the most Spurs thing I've seen yet in 2015.

wow florian klein with 2 stupid challenges in a row and gets rightly sent off. one lazy challenge to get a yellow and then a second on Holtby that could have been a straight red

Rafael just had the save of the year arguably already.
Yeah, I'd kind of tried to ignore the Europa ones by putting it down to wiley, experienced Euro teams against... erm, us; the little team that could. But if this continues we'll be in all sorts of trouble.
Still, six goals so far ain't too bad.

Hamburg with the 3 points.

Fucking hell, Wolves.
Going to be a long season. Not enough money spent, and far too many unblooded kids in important positions.

Ojo loan may turn out to have been a bad choice, loaned kids are the first to be dropped when things go wrong
Quite like Wolves as well
I am guessing Alaba as CB and Bernat will take his place. So Bernat-Dante-Alaba-Rafinha
wonderful news...

Anyone else got a feeling Barça will absolutely destroy Bilbao tomorrow?

Hopefully when Song signs we'll stop a lot of those balls getting through midfield and put in a few more biting, but non-cardable tackles.

that will be a given
Bilbao spent all their energy in super cup, they could play for one half only in EL and completely die in the second half conceding 3 goals and losing the match 3-2
Barcelona want revenge vs. dead Athletic Bilbao
bonus: if Bilbao want to qualify for EL groups they need to save some energy to turn that lose in the first leg
Bilbao is double dead
the wise thing to do in the Barcelona match is to save energy and get the least damage possible then unleash their power in EL second leg mid-week to secure that EL group stage spot

That was literally my complete train of thought. Juicy odds at the bookies on Barça -1, which I really think they should easily be able to cover.
Dark Rider
Member
they should
but this is football so it is possible that Barcelona go for a fail fest to convert chances to goals and Bilbao get away with a draw or even snatch a goal off a counter
Confrontation

Yup, and that defense is riddled with holes at the moment.
Or an insane save, like today in the Roma game in the 89th minute:

That was an absolutely incredible reflex and then to drop as quickly as that. Beautiful.
Wolfsburg depends way too much on him.
Kölsch Bloot

Could have gotten them the win easily. He was 1 on 1 with our keeper lying on the ground. Only had to lob and score, bud instead passed it to Horn.

More Bale nonsense in the papers today.

And even i am moderately surprised
I am sort of weirdly glad we screwed up against Brentford.
Could you imagine the nose bleed of 12 pts from 12 in the league and being through in the cup?
I still remember going to Portman Rd in the late 90s when we , you know, were actually an extremely good footballing side who just couldn't get out that stupid division.
These days it really does seem to take a huge slice of luck and a sliver of consistency and it's the later of the two that Mick seems to have brought us.
And Neymar. British journalists are the worst. First they spout some nonsense about United targeting these unrealistic players and then when its revealed that United where not in the business for these targets, they claim the players snubbed United and that United is stupid for chasing them xD
The worst part though is all the silly muppets who believe them.

Hoffenheim's performance was miserable, like Konami-miserable. Bayern have already won the league if everyone's knees are trembling even before even setting foot on the pitch.
