How wonderful. English football is so colourful.

How sterile a 'euro super league' would be by comparison.

Maybe a cow wandered onto the pitch delaying play? Or the ball got a puncture and nobody had a patch?

Does that sort of thing still happen?

Found this:

The second half was held up for 16 minutes after stand-in keeper Tom McGill, on loan from Brighton, was knocked unconscious when diving at the feet of Connor Lemonheigh-Evans, and the interruption would ultimately prove decisive with Crawley twice equalising in time added on.

Apparently 19 minutes were added, which then stretched out to 21.

Yet more instances today of the nonsense that handball in the penalty area has become.

Not right at all.

I was wondering about that when I saw Bromley's spelling. Lekker!

I do love the cheerful Irish use of 'feck' or 'fock' as the case may be.

Jesus has just scored a ‘Bergkamp-at-Newcastle’ goal for City v Liverpool. Brilliant game.

No way. Not nearly as good as Bergkamp’s. DB10’s was a masterpiece of design and control.

The Jesus goal was not anywhere that class. It will be forgotten next week.

And ironically....

A dreadful miss by Jesus.

Hate?! That's frankly embarrassing.

And it continues. Do you know anything about fascism? If Trump's US was fascist there would have no investigation in the Russian collusion. No free election. No court striking down his efforts to hide his tax returns. And no one would be allowed laugh at and criticise him.

I think the City defence looks very ropey.

Just because he didn’t get the chance to exercise his complete idea of authoritarian control even if he did try and subvert democracy doesn’t make him not a fascist.

Yes hate,

Farage gets standing ovations at far right rallies in Germany at the "personal invitation" of his fellow European Parliament member, the AfD's Beatrix von Storch, the granddaughter of Hitler's finance minister.

Johnson, Err watermelon smiles, letterboxes ring any bells ?

And don’t get me started on patel.

So yes in summary hate and it doesn’t surprise me at all that you wouldn’t find those things unacceptable

I wonder if there’s a politics forum where I could find some football related posts.

Starting line up today is unchanged from the Man Utd game.

Game starts soon a temporary interval matey

Unless you didn’t pay the 15 quid.

Will be doing. Can’t help myself. Cheaper than the trek into London and back. Well that’s what I tell myself to justify it.

Harsh on willock and a mistake to put ceballos and Xhaka on the bench rather than 1 of them and a player more progressive

Anyone got any decent live streams for the game?

With Atkinson reffing why would you want to watch it

Sorry - can’t bring myself to dance to those gouging bastards’ tune. It’s another Marcus Rushford for me.

I refer the honorable gentleman to my previous responses to his question.

Thanks yet again Soc

See if it works before thanking me.

Partey & Elneny ... I like that

Oh bugger. Can I have my £14.95 back?

Got off lucky there. Right decision but a stroke of luck

VAR rules okay.

He won't give it.......,..,

We were very fortunate.

Wooo hooo told you

Martinez is useless with the ball at his feet !!!!!!!

Imagine if Leno did that

Not really.

That’s what should happen when a player is offside and interfering.

Super interception by Partey and super pass.

Partey easily our best player so far, you can see his impact. Energetic and moves us up the pitch and chases everything. Very important signing

What a really good goal. Shame that it was them.

All originated from a loose poor pass by Willian in midfield.

So fed up of our slow starts. I feel I’ve maybe only seen 4-5 games in the last 4 years when Arsenal have started with anything like a decent tempo to a game.

Also, most of the time when we do go a goal down we immediately up the tempo. Just start that way

Villa look a good side with Barkley and grealish pulling the strings

Might need to change this at half time
