Did I miss this starting elsewhere?
Settling into Burnley/Spurs while I work out...have a strange yearning to visit Uzbekistan.

‘Appy to see ‘Arry out there, though he doesn’t seem to be in right places quite on time. (Intentionally posted to look stupid late)

Is it a rule I don’t know where there’s no offside from a throw in?
I’ll take it, but Kane looked a mile off to me and the commentators aren’t even discussing it so I think I am missing a nuance.

Yup, no offside from a throw-in.
Spurs' undrawables record is in danger with 12 minutes left.
No such luck.
Son seemed to understandably be out of gas today. Also disappointed that Aurier has so many crosses knocked down before they ever reach the box. He must be easy to read?
I’ll be starting no more weekend threads. Put the blame on me.
Rose wasn't good today either: too many overhit crosses that drifted out of play. Spurs really did not create much at all the whole game.
Or maybe the corner that led to the first goal, looks like the last touch was off the Burnley player. That kind of thing happens a fair bit though.
Team news are in for ManU/LFC .. couple of surprises including Matic missing out due to a knock. AA being “rested” in favour of Milner. In his pregame presser Klopp said he didn’t want AA playing three times in a week (looking forward to the midweek Watford game).
I think it’s that he wants Milner on the field and there was no room in midfield.

I wonder how what the away fan allocation is for this match. Amazing atmosphere.
If Robertson got the winning goal i think I'd wet myself, gladly too.

Milner better not see red this match. This is as good a chance as any to take three points at Old Trafford. Don't want to be cruel but liverpool's defenders need to go in hard (but fair) on Rashford...give him a couple of reducers as Big Ron used to say.
I can’t remember the last time there were 4 minutes added time for the first half, but I suspect we’re headed there.
I was going to say watching Robertson attempt to hold off Lukaku on an aerial ball was comical, but fuck me if he's hurt

It's only Southampton but Arsenal are dominating. Should be up more than two. Will move up into 4th with a win and United draw or loss.
The announcers made an excellent point .. despite losing three guys the replacements are pretty good in their own right.
Liverpool bossed the midfield .. even before the injury plague ... but the front three have been poor. Losing Firmino is huge - Sturridge contributes nothing in the build up - Shaqiri must have look pretty bad in training.
Edit: that was quite the gamble bringing on Lindgard .. and a stupid one IMO. They may lose him for weeks now.

I think they way they're playing their diving game will be obvious and pedestrian and heavy handed...much like this Liverpool showing. Fuckin boggin man.
