Like Babestation but wall to wall Schofield.

The World Cup babe thread is going to be rubbish as well.

What's going on with the badge on Everton's away kit?

Villa still looking pretty bad, but somehow winning. McGinn's so bad, why on earth did we make him captain

Oh wow that is a weird badge

Wasn't able to watch today's early match but I get the feeling that if Everton get a decent striker in they'll probably have a decent chance of staying up. I was surprised with how much fight they had last weekend against Chelsea but just didn't have any attacking edge. It seemed like fight/drive was what they were lacking for a lot of last season up until it was real panic stations.

We sign a player called Jesus and then Mike Dean of all people chooses not to award a dodgy penalty against us - REJOICE FOR THE LORD CAN MAKE ANYTHING POSSIBLE

gooseberry fool is so broken at United.

[Captain Kinopio]

United always there to raise a smile

[Peter Crisp]

So, United relegated before the World Cup.

They might do ok in The Championship .

It honestly feels like a lifetime ago that I watched United and thought "I support a good team". Not even great... just.. good. It's baffling how truly awful we are these days. How can any new manager ever hope to achieve anything when the bang average players we have are all so capable of being utter gooseberry fool. I honestly think this team would struggle in a lower division.

[Rawrgna]

Feels like a lifetime ago since the days of Fergies Man U where they were the best team around winning titles

If United get relegated a couple of times they can enter the EFL cup and try and win that .

One of the major fallacies in Britain is that a foreign coach will just come in and change everything. Up there with posh people are intelligent.

That said, this is still pretty devestating for Manchester United.

I just have a feeling that Man United could still get back into this; maybe not 4-4 but 4-3. I look at their team line-up and think "they've got some good players on paper"... they kinda have to step up in the second half.

De Gea. strawberry float off. Your time is over.

[Ste]

I don't think Ten Hag's track record is good enough for him to be United manager. Success in the Dutch league with Ajax doesn't mean much. Although I appreciate, like Everton, they've kinda ran out of alternatives.

Line up looks naive to me. One holder, Fred, with Erikson and Fernandes in the middle?

[Robbo-92]

De Gea. strawberry float off. Your time is over.

Can they get Henderson back from Forest? Or did they sell him? I can’t quite believe de Gea is only 31 either! I thought with how long he’d been there he’d have been mid 30’s at the very least, if not late 30’s and looking toward retirement

Assume Maguire is playing and having a typical Maguire blinder

[Return_of_the_STAR]

It's more and more looking like my fears about Jesus are right. He's ripping up the premier league and to think I always thought Satan would be the destructive one.

[Dowbocop]

Donny Van Der Beek must always feel like he's playing those challenges in Mario Strikers where you have two minutes to score a bazillion goals and none of your players have any legs.

[Photek]

In Minnesota, just seen the result!
