I was most interested in seeing Dembele, though. He looked a little nervous, trying to do too much, perhaps a bit too keen to impress. There were moments though that make me think he'll be great once he settles. His touch really is something else and his pace will terrify defences. Just a case of having patience with him and regularly reminding yourself he is still only 20.

Well he's at the best place is he wants good advice. Imagine playing with those guys. How could it not kick you up a level?

So tonight I'm going with Liverpool/Sevilla. Mainly because Sevilla is now my adopted home town. Only cos I went on holiday there for a week, but it's basically a second home now. Feel like there's a better game here than the Spurs game.

Also! You hear about why Asensio dropped out of the Real Madrid game tonight? He's got an infected pimple from shaving his legs. Jesus wept. You'd just make up a story than say that.

Can't imagine Terry Butcher ever having that problem. Modern football, ladies and gentlemen.

He was ALWAYS cutting himself shaving

 

Still plyed, even when he had to rely on a regular Bic, rather than a Bic Orange.

Everton are an absolute fucking joke.

I wouldn't be surprised if after we play Man Utd this weekend we go four games without a shot on target.

Did you see it? I just watched a rerun. The result was a surprise. I gave it to GGG but this obviously suits the TV guys as it guarantees a rematch.

Still not seen it rather annoyingly. I only have BT online and not the box so boxnation isn't available. Tried to find a torrent to no avail. I'll get it watched at some point today.

Sounds like some serious contentious decisions. Same with the Mayweather fight tbh. And does the fight highlight how good Mayweather was against Canelo?

That'd be like swapping a kick in the balls for a poke in the eye. Neither is preferable.

Mayweather had some favourable decisions but the guy's brilliant at what he does. He beat Canelo fair and square as far as I'm concerned.

Just as GGG did last night, but it's boxing: only a ko guarantees a fair decision. One judge scored it 118-110 to Canelo. That has to be investigated because even the most biased Alvarez fan would say that's absurd. Be interesting to know how you see it after watching it.

[h8kurdt]

This is now the boxing thread. Football has been cancelled til further notice.

Ok, the GGG/Canelo fight. It was an interesting one. How the FUCK one of the judges called the fight 118-110 is beyond me. Thankfully she's been fucked off now. Do I think it was fixed? I dunno.

The actual fight! Canelo played this one brilliantly. GGG is an absolute beast when he gets someone on the ropes and yet whenever Canelo went to the ropes GGG couldn't do anything. The old rope a dope trick.

Who do I think won it? I dunno. I'm biased towards Golovkin so I'd lean towards him anyway. I will say save for the first three/four rounds most of them went to GGG for me. But as the judges have shown, you don't need to be an expert to say. I'm actually tempted to re-watch it.

[demonrail666]

I watched it again today to see how I'd score it. I made it 7-5 GGG, but some of those GGG rounds could've easily gone either way. Canelo definitely had the early rounds but GGG seemed more in control as the fight went on, landing more punches - although Canelo's seemed harder. Either way a great fight.

Hey, let's keep this thread focused on Football, will we?

I might be of service on that one.

Ended up going to today's game of Everton/Bournemouth. The first half was absolute dirge. I don't actually know what Koeman's plan is with the team. At all.

Guess you feel the same Demo with West Ham?

[demonrail666]

WH-Spurs was weird. We were arguably the better team for large periods but Kane, Eriksen, Alli, can always punish you even when Spurs as a whole aren't playing great. But the problem isn't losing to Spurs, it's the fact we invariably don't turn up against teams we have a realistic chance against. Either way, the result was bad but the performance probably bought Bilic a bit more time. His big problem is trying to find a way for Chicharito and Carroll to play together. Also he can't keep putting his faith in Noble.

From what I'm hearing about the Everton game, Niasse saved Koeman big time.

So, Bayern sack Ancelotti. Any word on who might replace him or where he might go next? (West Ham are apparently interested but I'd think there are more attractive offer out threre.)

I wouldn't be surprised if Tuchel gets it.

Even though I desperately want Everton to fork out and get him oh the joys of being an Everton fan show themselves once again.
