Not a great game today but he has been a key figure in a side that has gained 16 points from the last 18.

Our old au pairs boyfriend is a really nice lad. He came to visit a while back. Turns out he’s herreras first cousin. I asked him was he going to get in touch.
I’m supposed go and see him,he said, but he’s a dick, and last time I saw him I poured a glass of coke on his head.

[Nembo_Kid]

Did you take that anecdote at face value?

@Nembo_Kid

Bizarre post.

Would you post up your weekly update on the latest Paul Pogba tour de force. Probably didn’t quite hit the heights of the Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough performances but that £100m transfer fee more than justified again, no doubt.

£89m transfer fee mate, please stop peddling mistruths on the INTERNET.

Thanks for that. Got your appraisal there as well earlier.

@Mullach_Ide

Pogba has had a shocker so far.

[flattythehurdler]

I did. He’s definitely herreras first cousin. He definitely thinks he’s enough of a prick that he didn’t bother ringing him even when he was in town.
The coke bit, who knows?
Coincidentally, our delightful ex au pair is visiting this week. She bought my eight year old daughter a pair of ear rings. I expect fireworks when herself gets back from abroad as I just told her she’d have to speak to her mother about getting her ears pierced.

Great anecdotes mate.

[balbec]

He’s a flat track bully.

[balbec]

You’re some chicken shit. You could have taken her into town to get the ears pierced this afternoon.

[flattythehurdler]

You’re absolutely right.

[Fran]

@Bandage can you please revisit your predictions from earlier today and explain how you got it so badly wrong

Thanks in advance

[Bandage]

Check my @DuncanCastles twitter account, mate.

@Sidney

I think Manchester City will win the league by a street with only Liverpool having the potential to mount any sort of a challenge to them if City slip up a bit.

Pep has conceded the title.

Ken Early: Mourinho reverts to type with Fellaini substitution

Mourinho, by contrast, has at his disposal the world’s most expensive squad. United pay the highest average wages in football. They broke the world transfer record in the summer for Pogba. They added the brilliant Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and Ibrahimovic, who scored 50 goals last season for PSG. They boast a collection of players that should be able to outplay any opponent at home.

Yet their record against big teams is worse than it was last year, in Louis van Gaal’s season of doom. They have won only one of six matches against the top five. At the same stage last season, van Gaal’s side had won three and lost just one of six matches against those big sides – including a double over Liverpool

He also called Pogba a donkey.

A donkey with his own Twitter emoji.

Is it this one
Or this ?

@the_man_himself

You thought a few months ago that they were “ordinary and had nothing in depth”. You’re admitting you were wrong so?

@GeoffreyBoycott

its the only inference that can be drawn from such wildly divergent comments. What he had to say on Spurs and their strength in depth yesterday was that he called it wrong four months ago when he said they had little or no strength in depth. Apparently now Spurs have a lot of strength in depth, possibly even the most in the league.

@Nembo_Kid

I said Spurs had a weak bench for that game, they were missing a host of players. I made a comment on a match.

@GeoffreyBoycott

They were missing two players for that match, Lloris and Dembele. Is two players a host?

@Nembo_Kid still hiding on this one, twenty four hours on.
