@scooter:

Cristiano who ?

Beats me. Never heard of him…

(Except he should have been sent off in the first half).

At first glance, I thought he kicked Jones. But, upon replay, I realized he was still kicking the ball. That's likely what saved him from the red card. That last kick was still highly suspect, though…

Cristiano who ?

Cristiano I-am-so-far-up-my-own-arse-you-can't-even-see-my-pinkies Ronaldo.

That one?

That is exactly the arse I was referring to…

With all due respect to Man U fans, he knew exactly what he was doing. Nasty and petulant.

Agreed. Thankfully, he plays for a club other than the one I root for…

HAHAH that was honestly painful to watch. was ready to turn the telly off 10mins in.

@goosehd well, verstappen won at COTA last night. need to watch the highlights but at least that has kinda numbed the pain a little

I hate Bayern München with a passion, so when they lose I'm always happy. They are currently down 5:0 after 60 minutes in the German Cup. Even better: my team, Borussia Mönchengladbach, are tearing them to pieces. I love it!

Great minds think alike, @Tago Mago

Pure, undiluted joy.

Don't get me wrong. I bleed red 100%. But, I will admit to thoroughly enjoying some time as a Spurs fan, if only for an hour, or two, this afternoon…

Enormous result. HUUUUUGE. I’m feeling all kinds of things.

Just not in front of the kids. OK…

Eintracht Frankfurt. Fuck me

Luton are in the Championship play offs (Semi final, first leg) this evening. We're punching above our weight in the division in terms of financials so it's a great achievement.

Having watched Luton play against part-time teams in the Conference, it's amazing to see. The screengrab shows what we're up against!

[AdamC]

I had the pleasure of watching Luton on TV for the first time 2 weeks ago - they lost 7-0.  Hoping for a result for you this week, as long as you come for a beer after work that is

Probably still more pleasurable than watching United… [emoji38]

Anyone who beats West Ham are fine by me [emoji1]

@neph93 sadly you are not wrong  :D.  I think even Liverpool fans don't find it funny anymore, its just sad how bad we are

You are entirely correct. The Moyes debacle was hysterical, ending the Mourinho stint was a wonderful moment, but the Solskjær experiment ending up being just sad. The whole lack of direction and catalogue of terrible decision making by the board is a grim reminder of how bad it can get when you have owners who don’t give a shit. I hope things turn around for your boys.

Also, Up the Hatters.

@AdamJ  - Luton just need a bit of luck!

@IH-GARY ridiculous wasn't it! Dion Dublin-esque!
