He said "for the summer"

Seems every game I watched last weekend had at least a little water falling from the sky

City dropped their bid for Ronaldo. Now ManU is the top suitor. Not sure how I feel about this.

Done deal. Going to be a good year for United. I'm a Gunner but I wont mind seeing Utd succeed with Cr.

TiMSport · 08-27-2021, 01:25 PM

Can't believe all these players returning for a second stint. Lukaku to Chelsea now Ronaldo back to Man U. Going to be an interesting season and maybe fairly wide open.

TiMSport · 08-28-2021, 01:21 PM

What an absolute SHIT call against Reece James.

TiMSport · 08-28-2021, 02:28 PM

Chelsea showed grit with 10 men playing in the entire 2nd half and secured a point at Anfield. Impressive IMO. I think they would have won the game if James didn't get sent off in the first half.

I hope that the next time someone has the ball bounce off their body and hit their arm and they are in the way of the goal, it will be a red card too.

TiMSport · 08-29-2021, 08:27 PM

Yeah, no kidding.

honestly! penalty was the right call but the red card was absurd and absolutely ruined what was an entertaining game up to that point.

I didn't see it. DOGSO?

happyjack · 08-31-2021, 08:11 AM

it may be a bit of mirage, but spurs are top of the table! they still need some serious help in the midfield transition game...and i dont know which transfer rumors to believe...i guess we'll know soon enough.

come on you spurs!

it did, however it hit Reece James leg prior to hitting his hand, penalty and yellow card would have been ok, the ref literally looked at a freeze shot and gave the penalty and the red. he should have at least looked at the play in real time.

Spurs are looking good, seems like a lot of guys have stepped up and I have always loved Son! Delle looks to be finally back in good form too.

It's wasn't a "natural" movement after the ball came up off his leg. He swept the ball forward with his arm, out of the goal, denying the obvious opportunity. I would expect to see this video in referee class moving forward, as a clear example of DOGSO.

Oh please. What exactly is a "natural move" after a ball hits you in the leg and then ricochets off your arm??

Your arm does NOT sweep a ball forward out of the goal. If it simply ricochets off your leg upwards, contacts your arm incidentally, the ball continues in it's upward trajectory.

You know I got no skin in this one, I'm busy watching Wolves fail to score

TiMSport · 08-31-2021, 11:03 AM

Yeah but I didn't think he literally scooped the ball with his arm to prevent the ball from going in but it is what it is.

Hey you are also a Man U supporter, right? Thoughts on Ronaldo? They didn't exactly look impressive against the Wolves. Seems to me their new picks will take some time to adjust including Sancho.

I can't wait until Chelsea plays them. Oh and I heard rumors Traore may transfer to the Spurs but maybe it's too late? That dude is built like a tank. He doesn't score though, lol.

ManU is the other. I just don't know about Ronaldo. We get STACKED with talent, but even Ole is having issues getting them to flow and operate like a team.
SANCHO! I just laugh because I know the Spanglish translation. Where is King Rudi Judy?

Adama doesn't score, but he is SO fast with the ball. I never knew tanks could move that fast! And him ramming people off the ball creates opportunity for his teammates. He's getting better at seeing those teammates.

LOL Adama should be playing rugby, not soccer. But yeah, he is incredibly quick and has good ball control for a big dude.

Yeah the ability to get players to flow and buy into a completely new scheme is what has really impressed me with Tuchel at Chelsea. They of course are stacked as well but he has them rolling and I think they will only get better in time. I'm just hoping Lukaku consistently puts the ball in the net as he is expected to do. Anyone is better than Timo Werner!

happyjack · 08-31-2021, 11:53 AM

wouldve liked to seen adama at spurs plowing some lanes through the midfield! alas, that rumor appears to have vapaorized.

UncleWede · 08-31-2021, 03:17 PM

I was just amazed. I think it was a set piece for ManU. Ball bounced out to about 35-40 yards and Adama picks it up. I blink, and he's pressing the 18, and the 2 players that were right behind him when he picked up the ball are just about to cross midfield

Traore is a fricken freight train man, I wish he could finish, that guy just commands space with players bouncing off of him.
