Y'know what, I'm done complaining about it. Whatever, if the league wants United in the Champions League this f***ing bad then fine. All we can do is control our own fate, let them get carried to the finish line by atrociously shameless calls.
Way to be overdramatic...

True but he has seemed to take it to another level.

I haven't seen much chatter about the POTY awards amidst all the chaos of the restart (normally they're awarded by like MW34), but Rashford is my dark horse pick for it. Top 5 player in the league this season for me.

Even a player being stretched off has the piped in respectful applause

2-0 in the 99th minute and after already being gifted the game by VAR, Martial still looking for a penalty by flopping in the box.

That's right now level with Mane (also 24, same 17+7) and only behind Vardy (28, 23+5), Salah (28, 19+9), and De Bruyne (29, 11+18)

He's played something like 150 fewer minutes than KDB, 200 less than Mane, 300 less than Salah, and 350 less than Vardy.
He's a lot more effective against deep sitting teams in this new, more creative wider role too. His passing is so much better than it was early in the season.

Build up for both goals was brilliant. Rashford surrounded by 3 Palace players in his own half, ends up creating a goal for Martial. Not the best performance but result is all that matters at this stage. Martial very good again too.

Maybe I've just never noticed, but I've never seen a keeper wear a hat in a game.

It used to frequently happen on sunny days. If you go way back - to the 50s and earlier - a lot of keepers wore flat caps on occasions.

As you say, maybe you have seen a keeper wearing a hat and not noticed. There's a way to check. Have you ever watched a game and thought:

'That keeper's hair is really striking - not just the way it looks flat on top and straight down the sides, but how it's styled into an extended peak at the front'?

Danny Ings has hit 20 goals for the year.

I feel vindicated about that deal right now, it was money very well spent for Southampton. If he never got hurt all those times he'd have been great for Liverpool. To score that much after having torn both ACL's is a big accomplishment he should be proud of.

Box-to-box monster, Tomas Soucek. He's been a horse in both boxes since restart, which is pretty much the polar opposite of Mark Noble. Big reason for the uptick in form.
