What the fuck was all that shite on Twitter last night with Andre Gray?

It appears the internet found his 2011/12 Tweets. Its worth noting there's even more alongside the one that has caught most people's attention.

Both of Stuani's goals were very well executed.

Payet and Carroll both dropped for West Ham, probably to keep them fresh for Thursday.

EDIT: Well, definitely not Carroll anyways.

Payet got a knock and is unfit.

I dunno, really - the Olympic Stadium (London Stadium, the fuck?) does look extremely impressive as a general sports arena, as it did back in 2012 during the Olympics, but I'm not so sure yet if it feels like a football ground. Still, Rome's Olympic Stadium works for them and the running track gap looks way bigger in that arena, so there's still time.

Good to see West Ham not filling their new stadium. Also saw a picture going around of a section that didn't even have any seats in it.

Fair enough on the capacity limit, but leaving sections of seating empty and selling tickets for a section without any seats at all makes no sense.

On an unrelated note, the person who created the new PL man of the match trophy needs some glasses. Looks like one of those old yellow highlighters.

"David Moyes admits Sunderland are likely to find themselves in another Premier League relegation battle this season."

Two games in, what inspiring leadership.

Really? He's inherited a weak squad, which is incredibly thin, and has no real money to spend. - A relegation battle was always absolutely inevitable. Moyes / Sunderland have signed four players for a combined £5.5m. A good manager will keep them just clear of the drop, a bad one will get sacked with Sunderland set to go down on about 27 points.

Mourinho is shite resorted to buying Pogba and Zlatan to cover up his lack of managerial talent etc...

Yup. Plus £5.5m in total for McNair and Love, and Januzaj on loan.

Still, its hardly a great squad.

Completely forget they bought him tbf

Love looks well out of his depth, McNair probably isn't good enough. Januzaj has talent but isn't a sure thing and Pienaar is old.

I can't be the only one who didn't realise Pienaar was still at Everton before his transfer to Sunderland? Assumed he had retired.

Tbf I had thought he'd retired after leaving Everton. Clearly not.

If by some miracle I ever become a professional footballer I'd delete my Twitter account immediately; and if I signed for Argyle I'd have even more reason to do so because nearly all my tweets are about Argyle and how shit we are.

Listening to the game on 5 live, Vorm seems to be having a cracker. Though when it's Coutinho having the shots against you they're normally either quite easily savable or entirely unstoppable. We all know which ones he does more...

Can't see us getting anything from today if it keeps going like this. Liverpool could've had 2 or 3 already.

They're more often 6 feet over the bar or wide of the post tbh
