Just when you think they couldn't be more stupid.

So Man City could get away with it?

Totally corrupt

That's what it looks like.

Mind you, it is the DM reporting it

i think DM sports reporting is pretty well connected though?

Of COURCE City will get off. Because City. And sorry for the city fans here but it's the owners and the FA that are getting slagged off here. Not the club as such.

Oops, I missed out the word 'only'

I usually check out other sources as well

One thing i often say while we're watching football is "why doesn't someone run up, tackle the goalie, and score a goal?" and today a Liverpool player just about sort of did that against Sheffield United. But i really do wonder why it doesn't happen more often.

Incredible and crazy match at Stamford Bridge. Perfect for a neutral but the managers will be tearing their hair out!

Cole Palmer just incredible. Another one for Southgate.

Knew when went 2-0 up it was too early to do do so...expected to lose 3-2 didn't expect to win 4-2! Glad Cole Palmer got man of the match in the end.

I read a lot of Chelsea fans left before full time, oops

Apparently, Liverpool are now selling Harold Shipman keyrings!

Bit bad taste Don't you think?

I've never understood people leaving early.
They'll say there's travel issues, crowds etc ... But you've come to a football match, you knew this before.

Even when we lost to Liverpool last year (the 0-7), I got so mad at Old Trafford being half empty 😡. I may be an idiot staying till the end but you take the bad with the good.

@YouOnlyCameToSeeEboue
Haha the likeness is quite disturbing isn't it?

Another injury picked up for Willock 👍🏻🤦🏼‍♀️

A tough win for us. We really needed that. Was almost even better after Wolves equalised against West Ham but it being ruled out leaves us still in 8th but only one point behind Man U in 6th and we still have a game in hand against West Ham.

Mind we’re probs going to get hammered by Spurs on Saturday. We have no players.

Our injuries/suspensions could make a fab first 11.

Pope
Trippier
Botman
Lascelles
Targett
Livramento
Joelinton
Willock
Tonali
Wilson
Almiron

Plus Hall limped off today but hopefully that was just exertion after 100+ minutes played.

If we get Europe this season it will be nothing short of miraculous.

We won a game!

Just wish I could enjoy it instead of watching the time whilst muttering "don't fuck this up"

@DuncinToffee I know the feeling...

And congrats!!

we are still second from bottom but can i just say:

Sheffield Wednesday 2!! QPR nil. SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY 2!!!!!!!!!

Get in Brefugee!

thank you. we're still going down tho!

Another potential banana skin avoided. Come on Man Utd...

And Calvert-Lewis did exactly the same today too.

Great 3 points tonight. Can't believe I'm supporting United tomorrow 😬
