Hey, can you guys get Theresa May the fuck out of my country already? Thank you, in advance.

He used to really make me nervous, but the way he's started commanding his area, looking unafraid, catching every cross he can get to and charging down long balls/through balls coming into his box has made me start trusting him a lot more. I think the skill set has always been there, but the mentality hasn't. But, he's calm, confident and perfectly competent out there now. So, we don't need to be in a rush to sign a new number one just yet. I think we should ride our luck with him for the rest of the season and see where he gets us.

Alright, I'm sold on Lookman.

Barkley. He ran the show. But, the team as a whole was solid.

Lukaku is pissing me off today. He's been strong on the ball and used it well. But, he's not attacking their goal. He should be in the box to pick up every loose ball from Hennessy.

If it's Kessie, then I think we do.... He would be an excellent signing.

Just wanted to point this out ?

Maybe he's a basketball fan or maybe he has another player/reason for wearing 23. Growing up, seemingly every kid wanted to be number 23 like Michael Jordan. I always liked wearing 13 to be transgressive.

I don't know what the aesthetic affectations of black youth culture have to do with the qualities of someone as a footballer, worker, or human being, but okay....

This article about him from a few years back offers some insight into his history and the type of player he is.

Berahino is a solid finisher, and he could (COULD) be someone to pair with Rom.
 
I have my worries with him though. He's not a player the ball really sticks to, and he's played best alongside a striker who can hold it up. He's not the strongest or most technical player, which could see him found out easily. He isn't the hardest working player. And, I think he bought into the hype generated around him (something done for all young, exciting English prospects, most of which eventually disappoint), which has given him a big head. I don't know how he fits into our squad as anything more than a Plan B option at the 70th minute.

Went to the OS just now and it isn't loading. Seems I'm not the only one trying to listen to the match. Oh well. COYB!

Wouldn't want him for any of the fees touted, to be honest. He's a solid player, but in no world would I think he's worth spending that much money.

Right. It's all so authoritarian. I'd go mad living in that fucking panopticon.

Who gets into your all-time chain smoker's five-a-side? Cruyff, Maradona, Zidane, Ozil and Barthez for me.

That's fine with me!
 
I hate stories like this. The way athletes and their bodies are policed at all times these days is frightening.
