The all-encompassing TV thread.

Fellaini is injured.

Not really watching it. Was just going by the commentator.

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

Is antonio Conte going to get fired?

[Ray de Galles]

Is he injured, or did he develop a limp when the number came up?

He didn’t even affect a limp, as far as I saw. Just stomped off down the tunnel.

[Ray de Galles]

There’s one way in which Dele Alli matches a Spurs legend of the past - he has the same kind of inverse ratio of talent to sense as Paul Gascoigne.

Subbed off to avoid a red card when leading 2-0 purely down to his own petulant, nasty stupidity.

[Antepli Ejderha]

Guess which Spurs player commits a needless and petulant foul?

[The Awesome Berbaslug!!!]

This is the worst I've seen Harry Kane play in a long time. Jose is really getting away with it as a result.

dele Alli is a prick by the way. what was the point of that booking?

I'm not watching Spurs v Man U so was wondering what happened to Mourinho's bus parking abilities, which worked v Spurs at Old Trafford?

Well, going down after 11 seconds isn't conducive to bus-parking. Not that the line-up suggested defensive tactics.

[hobbes]

I was kind of hoping for a nil-nil in the Spurs v Man Utd game, with 3 sending off each.
I'll settle for a Mourinho tantrum.

Reading this thread has made me want to watch Match of the Day. But it's a 10.45 start and I've got a full work day tomorrow.

If Fellani was injured, he must have come on injured as there was no evidence of him doing anything in the brief time he was involved in the game. And if Fellani was coming on with a knock to try it out, why was Mourinho preparing to bring on Rashford as his third sub, only to hurriedly change when Spurs carved Man U open and Son should have scored/squared it to Kane for a tap-in? If there is a later claim it was injury, that is clear face saving bollocks. It was petulance and public humiliation.

What a wonderful way to end a January.

It did looked like the bus was parked, though. Just it wasn't in front of De Gea's goal but instead still in the garage with everyone sitting on their suitcases waiting for someone to locate the keys. Man United were remarkably toothless and devoid of attacking threat.

Go to the BBC website, start watching whichever channel the football is on, press pause, leave your PC on, go to bed. Check in the morning it's still paused, go to work, watch when you get back.

The commentators observed Fellaini moving with difficulty shortly after he came on. I don't know how he injured himself -- maybe an awkward turn or landing -- but the lack of mobility was evident.

[Ray de Galles]

The BT commentary team (and myself & Janik) didn’t spot this injury but they did show footage of Mourinho appearing to remonstrate with Fellaini during his fleeting appearance for not man-marking Eriksen.

[Ray de Galles]

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the club/manager claim Fellaini was injured, I don’t think it will be very credible.

[Snake Plissken]

Be fair, anyone can get injured when the manager throws them under the bus.

[Patrick Thistle]

Applause for that

[Janik]

Sky did a piece just now of tweeted pictures of children and pets dressed up for the day, talking as if deadline day was as something akin to Christmas. You could see the presenter thinking 'How has it come to this?? Someone, please kill me!' as she delivered it. It was right there in her eyes.

[Ray de Galles]

It all peaked with the purple dildo really, didn’t it?

[Janik]

The above post belongs on the transfer thread.

[Ray de Galles]

You can delete and repost on the right thread, it’s what I did with my mistaken one.

[Janik]

I could, if I knew how to work the iPad better. Copying and pasting seems oddly difficult. And as such, not worth the effort.

[Patrick Thistle]

James McClean and Matt Phillips both attempting a Joe Bennett style "tackle" there.

[Patrick Thistle]

I know highlights are by their very nature piecemeal but did West Bromwich really only have one shot? I can believe it.
