I bloody knew it. We should have won 3-0 yesterday but I couldn't quite work out why we didn't.

The balls on that guy…

No FA Cup thread for this weekend?

I see Palace beat Fulham 3-0 today

Actually looking forward to Brighton vs Forest later could be good.

I can confirm from the freezing cold Amex, it is not good.

There is something about the way Rooney's speaks, something in his voice or cadence that I just can't take what he is saying seriously.

Good call that. Wasn’t a pen for me. VAR working well but took way too long. Again.

At least we are getting some progress.

 

[bingham67]

Couple of terrible pens here

Think its Forest now after that save

Brighton keeper should’ve had the last two there, ouch

Nuno for manager of the year

This narrative with Rashford at Villa on the BBC is hilarious. If he’d gone 10 games at Utd without scoring he’d be getting so much flack. Villa are still paying a lot for him, they should be getting more for their money, surely?

I think he's had a couple of decent games but surely he needs to do more than just that.

It's a bit rude to comment on someone's appearance but I can't get over how much weight he's put on, he looks so different, especially his face. If it's due to illness (like Andy Cole) then fair enough.

Makes you think, Ronaldo is a year older than him still going and Rooneys been retired for basically 5 years!

If you saw him in the street now you'd just think standard 47 year old divorced dad who has given up on himself a bit.

Rashford must have had a look at my comments at half time.

And we thank you

Some footballers continue to eat like how they used to eat (in terms of daily calorie intake) when they used to train and play everyday....so naturally the pounds just piles on, and fast. Running basically 10k twice a week on the pitch with lots of sprints, gym work and a dietician looking after you on the daily basis helps keep one's body in a good shape.

He is most likely just has been over eating.
