2-0, and United totally deserve this. Absolutely love their body language today.

Chelsea look pretty lifeless, tough to see them scoring one let alone two.

Don't worry, "Spurs'll spurs", isn't leaving ours, nor is it inevitable.

That was a lesson in tactics by Jose
They don't play EL till Thursday be didn't need to rest mikhy and Zlatan
He put speed up there to pressure that midfield that without cesc had no distributer and he had Herrera shadow hazard so he couldn't even pick up the ball and carry it, they had no movement and couldn't create anything

simply outstanding game by Herrera today. A goal, an assist and completely silenced Hazard. Apart from Valencia, he's been Uniteds best and most consistent performer this season. Also hats off to Rashford and especially Young today. He's been a solid squad player for a while now and has always played pretty well when called upon.
Not really fussed about Ibrahimovic possibly leaving United in the summer, and today showed why. Ibra is still a great striker, but he slows down the attack a lot and I think the team is doing well with quick and versatile players instead.

The best part is that the defender basically knows its coming and very wisely pulls out of the tackle but the attacker goes down anyways.
The ref makes a terrible call and then doubles down on it with the yellow.
Thats shameful.

Brighton & Hove have all but sealed promotion today - theoretically Huddersfield could still catch them, but they'd have to win all the remaining games by a combined 32 goals while B&H would have to lose out. So congrats to them, I'm happy for them after their bad luck in the playoffs last year. Newcastle lost to Ipswich today, but they are still favourites to be the second team to be directly promoted. Huddersfield, Reading, Sheffield W. and one of Fulham and Leeds in the playoffs, then.

It got Ross County a point. How else do you expect them to draw mighty Celtic?

and that's the problem.
The award for most unsportslike behaviour this year would have to go to one of him, Timo Werner and Joel Veltman.

I haven't stopped laughing about a joke Locke told me last week. Something about how Liverpool is the best team in the league! It was hilarious!

that's football. on the video the commentator is outraged at the ref and linesman, not the diver. Even defends him a bit (was avoiding contact)

disagree. Divers need to get shamed and retroactively banned, not defended.

This a thousand times. At this point the divers get rewarded for their actions, or maybe in some instances a yellow card. But really they should face some actual punishment when a video like this surfaces. That's the only way to get it out of the game. It wouldn't hurt to have refs make a call without a player feeling the need to drop when someone brushes them, but at least start with the most egregious and work from there.
