Forgive me. I'm a bit colour blind. What colour were Man Utd wearing today vs Watford?
Some kind of light blue get up. I thought it looked good until I realised it was Utd. :)

Ronnie's not too bad and I think Beglin has been cancelled! To be fair though we do have some bad ones, I draw the line at Niall Quinn! :lol:

Eimear Considine gets my vote ;) Almost makes womens rugby watchable :P
Beglin hasn't been cancelled! He's still commentating on one of the Middle East owned broadcasters or one of the US ones, heard his dreary tones on a stream and had to change before I threw myself out the window. It's a flat roof below so I wouldn't die but Jim Beglin is not worth getting broken ankles for :lol:
Speaking of US networks, Kate Abdo formerly of Sky Sports can be found on CBS these days, looking as fine as ever ;)
I'm a big fan of Alex Scott personally :) US ones are a hard watch, ESPN has to be the worst with Stevie Nicol. There's an annoying Yank whose name eludes me but he's unbearable.
Not gonna start comparing female broadcasters (I've started so I'll finish) but Kate Abdo is mucho mucho scorchio compared to Alex Scott :D

That's what I thought. United playing in blue - errrr..... what is wrong with that image? If LFC ever dared to play in blue that would be it.
Never, never, ever!
We did that way back, never again.

Also.
You're a git for highllighting my stupidity. :-)
Hats off to you Sir. More of this kind of confrontation with twittishness the better. :-)

Fair enough, I deserve that :D

We really did play last season in a sky blue/teal away kit and some fans weren't happy! As you can tell from this article : https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footb ... print.html

Just watching Sterling in the warm-up. His body language is awful.
He'll probably score a hat-trick now. :-)

Bit of a surreal day, I went on a few fan forums to hear what fans had to say about Ole's sacking. They all said "thanks for everything Ole" or "thanks for the memories" etc.

Then I went to the United fan forum and they were saying the same things!

Do you mean United fans have affection for Ole still and opposing fans are grateful for how long Utd let him "mismanage"?

1.67 on Spurs. Blimey, no "new manager" bounce from the market opinion there.

I'm saying that memes have become so powerful that Ole's career may never recover, you can't help but feel for the guy, he was put in an impossible position. It must be flipping brutal to hear that chant from rival fans every game, heard it in the Liverpool-Arsenal match too. How can your players believe in you when you're apparently the biggest joke around. It's a constant uphill battle.

Kai Havertz was terrified of becoming the next meme when he was about to take the winning penalty in the CL final. The internet is savage.
