Right. I had a feeling that might be what you meant. No, there was nothing like that. Not where we were anyway. And we came out of one of the exits at our end, and then walked around too far and got caught up in all the City fans. So we saw a fair amount of what was going on.

Much more respectful than I had anticipated, but nothing pre-arranged or anything like that.

Just take a few minutes out of your life to appreciate the best CB in England.

Evening lads :).

Delphy for England.

Hands off m8!

Bacuna was brilliant again. Not gonna lie though, the reffing and decisions that went our way were laughable.

Taking Bacuna out of my fantasy team was one of the biggest mistakes ever.

I didn't see Bacuna doing as well as he has tbh.

Shame I can't find one including the tackle and burst from his own half.

He is not going to win the Ballon d'Or or anything obviously but could easily be playing at a club like Villa or other teams in that sort of position in the league, that is about his level. Not quite good enough for the teams going for Champions League but yeah could still make a living in the Premier League. He's a goalscorer and I'm sure he will be a success at Toronto and get 15 goals a season.

I heard him moving to Toronto and with the WC coming up thought he must not give a shit about playing in it and just wants the money because he'd probably make the squad if he was playing regularly in the Prem.

If I remember correctly Spurs fans didn't want him to go, and they have now spent 25m on Soldudo.

Basically if you want to know if you should be getting excited about it I would say yes. Would take him at Villa.

HIGHLIGHTS: Seattle Sounders vs. Toronto FC | MLSsoccer.com

Two goals on his debut. Classic Defoe for the first. Second goal is a beauty. (Just watched it again, a gift from the defenders, he's gonna score a shitload in this league)

That pitch looks shocking though wtf.
