Pictures
Right: these match pictures will not be in order, I'm just posting the ones I come across, yeah?
Man United 2- 1 Crystal Palace - Fellani man of the match.
DeGea and Juan Mata - somewhere, someone ships it
DeGea showed why Real Madrid want him and Manchester United's resigning him will be their coup of the summer
I just love Blind's hair.
Fellani scored an important goal, people went crazy!
Newcastle 1 - 1 West Brom
Newcastle stopped their slide. It might be nowt but rearranging chairs on the titanic at this point
Guiterrez refuses to his extend his contract with the side, the captain (Colocchini- idek) wants to go back to San Lorenzo- and the fans are dissatisfied
Stoke 3- 0 Spurs
Oh, it was so good for Stoke. They came out brightly, Charlie Adam and his thunderc*nt of a foot had the way of it. Spurs--- well, that's what lack of rotation does. Spurs have played the most matches in the league (Europa, two domestic cups and their PL ambitions), and they're paying for their season long exertions now now
I'll leave a Pochettino reaction gif here (not from this match). I liked his bland assessment of Spurs performance, "We were poor." Compared to Brendan Rodgers blarney ("He was a great technician" and "We showed character") I'll take the bald truth over a good lie anyday
Leicester 2- 0 Southampton
Southampton and Spurs are sharing some strange sympathy pangs. When Spurs lose, Southampton lose. WHAT'S GOING ON?
Leciester have gotten their last 44% of points in their last six games. Da fug?
Everton 0 - 2 Sunderland
Sunderland had the surprise of the day- nicking three points from Everton
Osman and Brown doing the boogie
Meanwhile, over in La Liga, trouble is brewing, we join over friends for the drama
Real Madrid 2 - 2 Valencia
Ronaldo denied a penalty and Bale a blurred being in the distance is my aesthetic
*jp shakes head sadly over the sheer fug which is this kit* Not like this, Adidas, not like this
Sad trombone
Kroos might have a hamstring victory
Barcelona 2- 0 Real Sociedad
Barcelona nicked a victory from Real Sociedad
Barcelona's supporters' banner reads 'Next Stop, Berlin'. Yaaasss, speak it into being
Neymar gave good head(er)
Snap shots from the Bundesliga
Yesterday, Bayern decided to do a Taylor Swift and embrace their inner red
I keep seeing these pictures on my TL. Is this a new outfit or what?
Anyway, gossip- like I know German and ish. Apparently, Muller has told those who've lost heart that if they don't believe that they are ready for the challenge on Tuesday, that they don't have to come on the bench. Ooooh, sh*t talking. I loves it
Pep was talking to this lad- the name I can't spell, and Neuer was on the sidelines. That meant that Pep Reina was in goal
Only to get a red card! WTF?!
The match was so bad, all I have is pictures of the aftermath - OH THE HUMANI-
Dortmund 2- 0 Hertha BSC
Erik Drum- Durm- Dmru- Mdur- something- one of those combinations must be right!- scored the first goal for his club. Not many picture of the match apart from this one- the club confirms that Gundogan is letting go, moving on, and Goetze won't be coming back
Juventus 1- 1 Calagari
When I saw this picture I thought- wait, since when Pogba plays for the Azzuri! Then- duuurrrr, Juventus, silly sausage
Pogba tore a thigh muscle had to chill for 52 days. Oh, I found out that there's no J in the Italian alphabet and I was like, "So how... where did Juventus come from?" Oh, and Cavani might be going to Juventus for the reasonable price of £22m (I thought £60m is ridic for him to be fair)
OP done" any cheers, jeers, corrections and commentary pushback - you know the drill! Thanks for the help in tagging yesterday, you guys!
