What actually happened saw them mentioning that they weee glad Evra stayed. 

Also, why did sky apologise to Lamela regarding stereotyping? What did they do?

Souness said that Lamela's behaviour was "a very Latin" thing to do. He's an embarrassment.

Evra at his temperamental best. Directly after the United game he basically sat there sulking while the other 2 attempted to talk about the Spurs win. When it came to him, the anchor was quite sympathetic i.e. Patrice you must be hurting right now and I can see that you are, but let's talk about United for a minute. Evra then went on a barely coherent rant about "his team" that legitimately began with "I will terminate my Sky contract. I cannot talk about this game..."

Essentially a symptom of the fact that Sky hire their pundits to be Alumni for their former clubs, rather than hiring them on merit as good analysts of the game. Even a Sidwell or a bloody Shearer could have done a better job, it was really poor.

Even when he perked up after Villa/Pool and (in his own words) "can finally talk about football again", his expert analysis was that we did well exploiting the high line and Jack Grealish is a very good player. That was it. Totally facile stuff.

Souness basically called him a cheating foreigner, it was a joke the way he went down but he probably could have worded it better.

Probably? 

Ridiculous headline from the Liverpool OS 

We've caused a lot of pain on Merseyside it seems. Who -- little old us??

Imagine if we’d sat back after going 1-0 up.

A LOT of managers do it, and I’m so glad Smith isn’t one of them

He learned huge lessons from last season and fair play to him. Sign of a decent manager, knows when he's wrong and rectifies it.

Sky anchor has just read a formal apology for Graeme Souness' comments about "Latins". With Souness sitting there. Jesus lads. Shambles this evening.

Eh. Em. I, uh... Hmmmmm. Things and stuff.

Full time. Wow. Just wow. 

Put them out of their misery ref.

OMFG

I don't think I believe this. 

 

Is this one of those mass hallucinations? 

WTF surely not??

You can just feel it can't you. UTV but also FML

I feel like I'm having an out of body experience.

I can barely breathe...... but why do I still fear what's coming?

Patrice Evra is fantastic.

Deeply unprofessional.

"I want to terminate my contract with Sky. I cannot do this no more. [...] What is going on with my club. I need to talk about another game if I am to stay."

mental stuff.

Ole looks like he's going to cry. I love it.

Woodward's face, partially obscured by mask though it be, is even better. Was just pictured frantically texting. 

"Dear Mauricio, I have a used and partly rusted engine I'd like to hire you to drive. Needs a tune-up every few miles, current driver will not be at the wheel much longer. Must carry passengers. - Ed"

6-1

Pen Spurs.

He can't stay in the job after this surely.

misread that as meaning Souness!

5-1 now. Aurier.

Sincerely hope Sky yank Souness off air effective ASAP for that comment. What a prick.

I would derive a lot more satisfaction from it if it weren't Totteringham doing the smashing.

4-1 Son

I have 0 sympathy for United but there is something very wrong with the officiating this season which goes far beyond interpretation of new rules.

That is never a red, and even if it was, Lamela should walk too. If anything his elbow was worse than Martial's slap.

And what is VAR for if it can't see that? Utter nonsense through and through. PGMOL are a disgrace.

3-1 Kane

1/2...

You all jinxed it
