I thought Atalanta would put up at least a little fight...but it was like y'all were playing against, well, Tottenham. Liverpool deserved to lose by a larger margin. Amazing to me that Van Dijk is the highest paid defender in the world and that Konate is considered a good player. As a United fan, I hope they extend both of their contracts in perpetuity...because they just get worse week by week. Newcastle looked good against Barca and really could've come out of that ahead. It definitely was a penalty but still they're unlucky in that.
Funny story relating to the Newcastle/Barca match on Tuesday. A Barca fan purchased tickets for St. James' Park for a Tuesday match. Turns out...League 1 side Exeter City's stadium is also named St. James' Park. They were home playing Lincoln in a League 1 game. Poor guy was about as far between 2 points in England as you could be...Exeter being in the very southwest of England and Newcastle in the northeast, about 10 hours apart. At least he got to see a match that day...just not the one he was expecting. He must've thought he was getting a hell of a deal on the ticket, too.
