Debatable if this was more boring than last week or not.

Wheres the drama; the action, the excitement, the uncertainty? God I hope this picks up soon.

Bigger and less skilful. I still think a prime Tyson would beat most of today's top heavyweights. Too fast and too fit.

Does a non prime Tyson beat Jake Paul, we're about to find out 

Can someone remind me what results we want tonight for 5th place to be champs league?

Man U have spent 10-15 years buying players at the top of their curve in terms of transfer fee plus the man u tax.

They have been trying to fast track success which rarely ever works (see Chelsea in the last 2 years). You have to build a squad under the right manager and then wait for the success to come after. Both Arteta and Klopp weren't exactly flying when they moved to their clubs, it takes time...

Watching footage of the Wayne Couzens arrest, even his dwelling had a somewhat sinister look about it, with the cat slithering around the room.

A true sense of the presence of malevolence. 

Still find it baffling he rented a car in his own name and paid with his own bank account details then burned the body on a small patch of land he owned. As an active police officer how on earth did he think that wouldn't come back to him.

Potter would be mad to turn them down. End of the day he’s an out of work manager and it’s one of the biggest clubs in the world. 
 

For some reason I feel like it could be a good match although not to the levels of winning the league. Not even sure what success is to United fans these days. You would think a cup and champs league would be enough but clearly not

Love the fact that F1 is back but Jesus that was one of the most boring races I’ve seen in a while. Not a good sign at all for the season ahead.

Good drive from Sainz fair play on that one.

Christ does this race need a safety car.

Im tempted to retract my comment about this season being closer, if Perez is taking a comfortable second that’s not a good sign at all.

What are you basing that on? 

The big 4 teams all being happier with their cars this year. No doubt that will just catch up to RBs car last year but even then Max can’t win 20 races again.

I fell out with the F1 early into last season, I'm not one of the Max haters but I just couldn't be bothered watching him win at a canter every week.

I've just put the Qualifying on, is the season going to be any different to the last or should I save myself the bother of watching because Max is going to be so far out in front again

Too early to say but the gap looks to have been closed slightly and we should definitely have more winners than just Max this year.

its been a few weeks so just thought I'd drop a quick update in here, I'm currently down 4st 3lbs, its getting to be bloody expensive though because I've had to buy new clothes, the new jeans I bought are already too big for me and I'm gunna have to buy yet another few pairs.

I was trying to hold out for 4st 7lbs before my next treat but I've caved and ordered myself a 16oz piece of fish n chips and I've gotta admit, I'm bloody excited for it, first time I've had fish and chips in about 5 months.

There is no guilt at all about this particular treat, I've worked hard for it, I'll be straight back in the gym tomorrow to start on working it off.

Very impressive mate, that’s more than a flash diet it’s a total lifestyle change to lose that. Very inspiring. 

Ferrari car just looks fast for some reason and I don’t mean based on what’s been seen at testing so far.

Mercedes by all accounts have a more balanced car aswell so you would hope during ghe races that Max isn’t at his absolute best they might be in the mix up for podiums/wins.

Have a feeling Alpine will be nowhere this year, feels likes they are going backwards every year. Have a feeling Aston will be nowhere as well this year.

That should probably be a penalty and I thought the Endo one was a foul, on a yellow and potentially a second one - anyway, free kick to Liverpool. 

Klopp will no doubt be furious for some reason.

 

That was 100% a penalty. Absolute joke that’s not given and then the VAR check done in seconds. 
 

If Liverpool needed that late on that is given all day long.

Lose this and you're starting to wonder how far we can drop. Wasn't long ago we had dreams of competing for the title and now I'm thinking is top 6 still on?

1st goal is a defensive error from Kamara

3rd is a wonder strike

Just one of those days.

We were totally overrun in the game though, exactly the same as Newcastle, exactly the same as Man U before that. 

Top 4 teams don't get overrun like that and look totally devoid of ideas so often. Yes these games happen but its become regular over the last 2 months and there is an issue that needs to be addressed clearly.

These performances much like Newcastle and most of our games of the last 2 months show our league position is a false one unfortunately. These sort of performances come about once or twice a season for a top 4 team and we’ve had two in 2 weeks!

It will be a minor miracle if we keep 4th.

I love that film. Must go back and watch it again. 
You are not alone in your feelings about Eisenberg. I mostly like the films he’s been in but I’m not sure he has all that much in terms of range. 

He doesn’t have a lot of range but he was great in Social Network, Adventureland and The Double.

Wouldn't surprise me if they broke the bank to get Norris. Unless they think Russell is good enough, in which case you're only filling in a #2 seat.

I love Russell but I'm not convinced he's the lead driver of a championship winning team.

Definitely wouldn't bother with Sainz either, feels he's pretty overrated.

Commitment to the high line, quick passing through the midfield to advance possession, high press.

All gone in recent months, no great surprise our results have dropped off at the same time.

The big question is why and how on earth do we get it back?

We’re in one hell of a slump both performance and confidence wise.

Is Moreno rusty or did he flatter to deceive last season?

Bit of both maybe. It feels like we’ve changed our tactics in recent months and so many players who were excellent just aren’t performing anymore.

embarrassed by a Newcastle team who can barely put out 11 senior players these days.

just at a loss for words as to how we’ve been so bad recently. Struggling to see how we can turn this around and not drop out of the European places altogether.

Until Watkins and Diaby can get some form back and we can get Torres back into the 11 that’s our level at the moment.

If you can’t win it then don’t lose it, we were much much better second half and actually progressed the ball up the field instead of rushing it and losing possession every time.

Still maintain we need a different option to Watkins, whether it’s him or the service he’s just not involved in so many of our games.
