Bought a 2008 dimitar berbatov united third kit the other day, could not be more excited.

Watching this Liverpool melt down the last few weeks has been really refreshing.

This had to be posted before the Burnley game?

Oh no. I'm well aware of my own team's current short comings. You have to take your joy where you can get it.

“Current” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there

Could everyone here spare a quick thought for my West Ham supporting friend...he took his son on a hiking/camping trip this weekend, but his son wasn't feeling great after the 1st night so they hiked out early...only to get hoke in time for a serious beat down by Chelsea.

My mate is a huge West ham fan, he's from that part of London. I have a soft spot for the team because of him. Shame that Moyes looks like will leave.

He’s already gone and replaced by Lopetegui

Just saw that!

My club here has a pretty random season... 12 wins, 12 draws, 12 loses.. 40 goals for and 40 goals against.

Absolutely, I'm a big soccer fan! It’s nice to see more people in the US getting into it. I've been following local leagues and international matches for years, and it's the unpredictability and the global aspect that keep me hooked. Every game feels like a celebration of diverse cultures and tactics.

Lol 4-0 for Palace.

Especially chuffed that it will be Reus’s last match for Dortmund (probably Sancho as well)

PUTAIN DE MERDE DE CHIER DE BORDEL DE MERDE.
me and my kids were screaming at the TV, don't think I've ever seen a team hit the woodwork so many times over 2 games... Fair play to Dortmund though, they defended really well and just took their chances.

that's unfair IMO. if you took money out of the equation and only talent counted, Paris would destroy every club every year....At the last WC, 28 players and 2 coaches came from Paris area (playing for France, Portugal, Cameroon, Tunisia, and even Qatar). The Paris area produces more pro players than any other place on earth....(second being Sao Paulo area in Brazil)

edit: according to Sofoot magazine, in the french, spanish, german, english and italian leagues, players from Paris area represent 10% of all players......

I'm referencing the fact the 50+1 rule. Dortmund are at least half owned by the fans not blood oil money. Also I live in a tourist area...you know the rep of parisiens...we give them all stick..even the lyonnaise.. I'd back Marseille if had that to pick a ligue 1 team just because of their strong antifa messages etc from their ultras. Red Star of course is cool.

Anyways it's all light-hearted fun. I don't know if watching Harry Kane or Jude Bellingham lose against Dortmund would be more funny...
