I am not saying this would only happen to Phil Jones, I am just saying its not surprising it did happen to Phil Jones

This lack of coverage sucks.

Goal!  Cenghiz Underpantsed the goalie on that one.

I think you're just making names up at this point

You're right, it's actually Cengiz

 

[Jaysus]

WGUAFC!

 

[Sinn Fein]

Valencia look like they will be disappointed if they don't come away with 3 points today.  

 

[B Maverick]

You get booked! and you get booked! and you get booked!

EVERYONE GETS BOOKED!

McKennie goal in CL

Barcelona going to need a much better effort than their last few matches today.

Or, Lloris in goal.  Either way, I think they will be fine.  

Spurs are missing 5 starters - this should not be close...

Yikes.  Barcelona has struggled with some pretty poor teams of late though.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Napoli playing a high line and pushing forward -- wide open game.  Interesting strategy.

Keita down and coming off with what looks to be a substantial injury.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

Napoli by far the better side right now.  Liverpool not doing much.

This is the best anyone has defended Liverpool in a long time.  Zero space and nothing created.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

0-0 at the half and seems fair. Napoli the better team overall but haven't created much either.

 

[Slapdash]

Messi has been hitting the post a lot this year

 

[Slapdash]

Valverde once again waiting way too long to make a change.

 

[gianmarco]

Speaking of hitting the woodwork....Liverpool REALLY lucky to not be down here.

 

[Slapdash]

Barcelona defense is dreadful this year.  Not going to win trophies without Pique getting it together or getting benched.  Ter Stegen has looked like the MOTM every game

Insigne!

 Pique has never been fleet of foot, but he's become positively glacial over the last 12 months or so.  He looked so washed up on that chance Spurs had late in the match that Lenglet came across and deflected wide.  The guy is a club legend, but every time he's out there, I wonder what the over/under on breakaways conceded will be.  He needs to be playing less.

That said, I'll take the three points.

Group C and G are really interesting  Spurs already 6 points off the pace in B

 

[Sinn Fein]

Messi has been hitting the post a lot this year

At one point, I thought he was just toying with Lloris, the way an owner might with his cat.

 

[The Z Machine]

Interesting start to CL play thus far. I didn't think Napoli would be top of their group after 2, but I think it's great.

The Atlético / BvB fight for the top should be excellent as well. No one winning their group will want to play either of those 2.

Real will turn things around. They always do. Spurs really should have added depth in the off-season...  CL games take their toll and can disrupt league play.

 

[Sinn Fein]

What a lethargic performance.

 

[Sinn Fein]

What is crazy is that Spurs have been pretty dreadful this season, and yet, with 18 points, this is their best start ever to the PL.

 

[AAABatteries]

The good news with United sucking I’m watching much less live and instead getting out running and hiking on Saturday mornings.  Thanks Jose!!

 

[TLEF316]

So obvious that they're tanking to get him out of there

 

[Sinn Fein]

Turn out the lights,

The party's over...

 

[Sinn Fein]

If you are Woodward, do you sack him at halftime?

 

[Sebowski]

If you are Woodward, do you sack him at halftime?

#### that. Keep rolling him out there. Make him quit. 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

You’re getting sacked in the mooooooorning!

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

 for McTominay. That’s how you turn a season around. 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

#### it. Let’s put Pogba at LCB. 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

Please put Alexis at wingback. 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

How great would it be if the abused Ewok Jose ran out of Chelsea saved his season. 

 

[Ramsay Hunt Experience]

So very Newcastle. 

 

[CletiusMaximus]

WTF Bayern Munich? 

 

[Sinn Fein]

#### that. Keep rolling him out there. Make him quit. 

Honestly - if I were a Glazer, I would sack Woodward before Mourinho.

 

[CletiusMaximus]

Real Madrid 14 points from 8 games?
