Nothing quite makes me happy like seeing the Manchester United way evolving into bringing on Fellaini so you can lump it forward to him.

Even though I was hoping United could get a result today, I'm not gonna complain too much about these events either.

I think this is a evolution that we can all agree is ideal. Burn baby burn.

The sad thing is you can tell the players know all of this too.

Firmino genuinely thinks it's funny, even does a drunken stumbling goal celebration every now and then.

They all know that nothing bad will happen to them, which makes it worse because it just further helps encourage that "idgaf I'm rich boi" attitude.

How many young guns out there are going to see Firmino pretending to stumble around drunk, while laughing, and then go "see lads? it's all just banter anyway".

Would love for clubs to take a much harder stance on this kind of stuff but sadly they won't unless they are forced to.

I told people all summer that Lucas is going to be like a new signing for Spurs. Bought him in January and he was never able to get a run for various reasons last year. I'm happy he's finnaly able to show what he can do.

Rose on the other hand was dreadful and just played himself out of what little playing time he had left.

Sweet. 3-0 away and we're not even playing well.

United have never lost 0-2 at home in the league according to Sky. I wonder if they have lost 0-3?

LOL he didn't think it was funny, and that's not what that goal celebration is that he did one time.

If there's a celebration of his that I hate it was when he was shooting a machine gun. I think someone told him to knock that one off at some point.

I honestly had no idea who the guy was. I was thinking, wait, I thought Spurs didn't make any signings.
