Happy Holidays gents... Another great year in this thread is coming to a close. Looking forward to the back half of the campaign.

Great story from UEFA recounting the Christmas day truce during WWI where a football game broke out between allied forces & the Germans. UEFA's YT page wouldn't allow to embed so check out the link featuring Sir Bobby Charlton, Philipp Lahm, Gareth Bale, Wayne Rooney, & UEFA President Michel Platini among others.




Sainsbury', a UK grocery chain is also commemorating the 100th anniversary of this event with this commercial.

Glad to see Falcao finally in the starting 11,I wasn't expecting ADM to be back today though. Pleasant surprise.

ok obama

fletcher, really? herrera can't play? fellani hurt? 

 

[nomadicsole21]

Another great shift from Milner today. Dude is so under appreciated. Silva really put the team on his back with those 2 goals. Really great team performance especially in Palace's final third. Possession and passing were crisp. Yeah it was against Palace but I'll take 3 points all day in this jam packed time of the year.

 

[Sinner]

Dunno why Herrera isn't playing, but Fellaini's injured. 

 

[rolaholic]

Fellaini didn't make the trip and Herrera apparently became "unwell" today and would've started otherwise. Fletcher is the one to turn to when there are seriously no other options

 

[Sinner]

Damn, what a goal... 

 

[rolaholic]

I can't even lie,that was a sexy finish from Benteke. Still

 

[nomadicsole21]

Da Belgian

Made Evans look like a fool on that one
