How are Stoke still behind? good game.

 

[BaZ87]

Double leg break in training apparently, the way they were talking about his selection made it sound like he just couldn't get a game.

Just seen your pre-edited post - I wasn't the only one. I honestly forgot he was ever a footballer.

 

[meh?]

I thought he retired to be honest lol

 

[Shamikebab]

I was always a fan of Ireland back when he was at Villa, felt like he could have been a better player than he turned out to be.

 

[BaZ87]

He doesn't slip! He's expected the Stoke player to cut across the back of him and he's gone down expecting the contact. He should get a retrospective ban, right shami?

 

[Shamikebab]

Mata is absolute class, slips over and first thing he does is turn around and say it's not a penalty.

Watch the replay! He didn't slip at all. He's dived expecting the defender to have made contact with him and he knows he's in trouble so pretends it was a slip.

 

[Shamikebab]

Course he has Baz.

 

[BaZ87]

Glad you agree

 

[McBain]

What a finish that is....

 

[Psycho Ned]

Lovely goal 2-0

 

[Alex h]

Get in 2 0

 

[Purdy]

Am I the only person that has just remembered that Stephen Ireland still exists?

He seemed quite good when City had just been bought over. He went to Villa last I remember and did nothing lol

 

[Kerplunk]

What a goal son

 

[Trusty]

Jesus. Strike!

 

[BaZ87]

Great finish but where on earth were Stokes midfield there? He was in acres of space.

 

[Shamikebab]

Martial class 2-0

 

[Robbo]

That is absolutely stunning.

 

[Shamikebab]

Pogba with another two assists, he is on fire again.

The only thing I remember about him was pretending his nan died to get out of a game.
