Wasn’t so long ago Seamus said the players need to show what they are about instead of talking about it. I’m with you Mark, less talk, more action. 

Consistency is key. Too many players have a good game followed by 2/3 average ones.

He was so underrated and misused 

I’ve got Baines on the back of this seasons shirt. 
My mate bought it for me, but decided even though Baines had left I should have one more with his name on. 

Would feel a lot better if we had Richarlison and DCL on the bench 

Phil Neville said that a United player in the 4-3 game said "now tell your team to calm down will you' ... after United had just gone a goal in front after us giving them a torrid time.
Fair play to Neville, he played out of his skin cos it pissed him off. 
That's leadership. 
 

No in that one Rio Ferdinand nearly won it for them at the end, great save from Howard; you're thinking about the 3-3 at Goodison when we got two late goals then Martin Atkinson blew the final whistle when we were breaking at speed, Moyes was furious.

To piggyback on that, Mike...
 

But even this is a myopic view. It paints the depravity of Pre Civil War America with a regional brush - a national brush, even. It's a much larger problem, but to your specific point, it wasn't that they never thought they lost the war, it was that they weren't ever made to suffer the consequences typically befitting the loser of a war. Southern whites picked up the pieces, largely left to their own devices. Union folks had cousins on either side. All that changed was the lifting of a travel ban once the Confederacy fell. Now the wealthy could begin their agricultural commerce again and see their extended family down south in the winter.
Southerners began by telling a very particular perspective of the war, as Imperialists often do; a version that portrays them as benevolent and chivalrous. Over the last century and a half that broad lie and complete lack of oversight has influenced media and collective reasoning to the point that people aren't outraged or informed that enslaved peoples are referred to as farmers and workers in some textbooks today. The human cost of that war is completely suppressed in the minds of the public; compared to what it really is. It was the South's lie but there's never been enough interest from folks who aren't black and brown to rectify its influence.
The fact that Jim Crow laws were ratified by the federal government as a response to Reconstruction tells you everything you need to know. The United States has collectively mischaracterized the Civil War since it ended. This whole country is responsible for this energy and what feeds it.
Also, for what it's worth, it's definitely too late to distance yourself from any support for Trump lol. This moment is shared by anyone who's gotten him to this point. You can't pretend to not be an enabler once things get worse than you imagined. There were many warnings about something like this happening. At this point you have to own it and move forward.
Republicans bet on racism, they leaned into it. This is what happens when your platform runs on disenfranchisement.

They'd rather watch things burn than cede even an ounce of privilege.

This is racism. Multi-tiered and multi-faceted racism.
Physically violent, institutional and completely systemic. From the lack of consequences given to those inciting this behavior, to the aiding and abetting of the insurgents by law enforcement, to the disbelief that this is something that can happen in this day and age.
What happened at the capital yesterday is the most American thing I've ever witnessed in my life.
The policing plan was to allow them to do what they wanted because many of those police agree with those they helped. They are the same people.
Those involved, they didn't even really have a plan besides mayhem and they were certain they'd be able to do damage and walk away unscathed. That's what I'll remember most about those scenes; White folks walking around a government building looting things in plain view of cameras, unmasked and unbothered. Doing things that I'd get shot for even contemplating.
Most of the people arrested yesterday were from the city's curfew, after the event itself.
The heart of American democracy is racism. Mass extraction and exploitation is how it was founded and it's never really changed much.
 

White. 
 
 
 
Supremacy.

ONCE MORE FOR THE FOLKS IN THE BACK. 
I would like this a thousand times if I could. You perfectly encapsulated what I wanted to say. There was nothing surprising about what happened yesterday, despite everyone saying how shocking and caught off-guard they were. And despite so many talking heads saying "This is not who we are," this is exactly who we are, and who we always have been. 
Biden was not saying the things I wanted him to say yesterday, but he rectified that today. Called them domestic terrorists and finally raised the issue of the (if it wasn't such a life-or-death scenario) comical discrepancies between the scenes yesterday and BLM protests over the summer.

Thought Gomes was the highlight of the game to be honest. 

Great news, if he plays well and is over his injury problems he solves problems for us in midfield and saves us lots of money in the summer.
Just hope for his sake that he can play football again, it must be so hard for him with these injuries.

This. 
Hoping for more Gareth Barry and less Fabian Delph. 

Best right back in the championship by a mile and will be a massive improvement on Coleman and Kenny. 
Young, but with experience, like allot of our defence, I love the idea of a defence that will be together for years, they will know each others game so well they will be very effective.
 

£31m?!
Bye.

That defeat wasn’t down to the defence that was down to 6 in front of them who did fuck all. 

You may have got your wish and seen Davies subbed but Gylfi served up new levels of footballing disinterest.
Gomes and Doucoure only ones who looked anything like they were up for a game.
