Oh god. At times like this, you just gotta hate football. Great goal but Stoke so do not deserved that. Also, for once, can we actually a win a game with ease?!

Remember folks, both Matic and Fabregas are on 9 domestic yellow cards. Get one more and they'll have to serve a 2-game suspension. Cut-off deadline is after next weekend.

Has finally scored his first goal for Wolfsburg (against Stuttgart). Good for the lad.

WEST BROM 3-0 DOWN AT HOME TO QPR! TONY PULIS' WEST BROM!! :blink: :blink: :fainthv9: :fainthv9:

Have Liverpool ever looked solid under Rodgers? Every time you see them play, they always make a few defensive mistakes. It's shocking for a team who wants to be one of the best again.

Jose Mourinho suggests he might rest Diego Costa due to a lack of 'confidence' in his fitness

Boro now sit top of the Championship after Bournemouth and Watford drew their games. Six round of matches to go and next up for Boro is a trip to fourth-placed Watford, who are only two points behind them, on Monday.

That was kinda meant more for those who used the redirection of criticism route, not those who have defended Oscar with decent points. And pretty sure there are a few such posts on the forum, not just in this thread.

No one mentioned your name and you get all worked up? Touchy.

It's probably the best defence they can come up with right now...

Embrace pain man.

Not necessarily. One can always just enjoy the moment without knowing the end result.

Paying 40m for a player with a potential, one who has put few good performances and scored some goals here and there doesn't seem like the brightest of ideas. Even Hazard didn't cost us this much. Just because we paid 30m for Willian and Cuadrado, doesn't mean we have to do the same with Sterling, especially not when he hasn't done anything of note in football yet. I know they are going to be inflated prices around and there's a way to go about spending the money wisely. For that kind of amount, we could get someone more useful from abroad or something.

Raiola is Ibrahimovic's and Pogba's agent...

Doesn't mean it's right. Sterling hasn't done anything noteworthy to even warrant a price tag close to 20-25m, never mind 40-50m.

No injuries for this game, according to Mourinho. Mikel is back in training but won't be selected against Stoke. Costa also back in training but Mourinho isn't sure whether he'll play him tomorrow. Hazard will start the game, despite suffering from tiredness.

£40-50m for Sterling? That's absurd!

Curious to see how would Oscar actually perform if he has a summer break, taking time off from football altogether. Will he be consistent from start to finish OR only turn up for the first half of the season before going AWOL?

Convenient. OR one could turn around and say "I think you're overestimating our players. Man, those blue tinted glasses sure look good, doesn't it?"...
