lol at PSG.
It will still finish about 7-1
Ander Herrera becoming shit overnight is a weird one. His strengths were running about, doing so with a degree of tactical intelligence, and winding people up. It's not like he actually had any QUALITY, so what has happened?
If he was match fit Fellaini would have three goals already, and I think there is a good case for United using that David Moyes Everton tactic with him as a 'false nine' for the rest of the season.
He'll be taking the Rennes job to haunt Ranieri again.Originally Posted by phonics
Good shout.
They have a very high percentage of French speakers in Portugal if I recall correctly. Also Latin languages and all.
Hope he stuck some money on it.
Touch of Liverpool here from United. Should have been out of sight by half time and they have been shit in the second half.
Rojo has been good, but the other three were somehow all at fault there.
Not that it matters much as they won’t lose the top spot unless they lose 4-1 or more against CSKA at home.
Edit: I think it might be 2-5 and even then they’re through.
Mourinho out.
What a time to be alive.
Raped by Wolves.

Interesting situation in United's group. All three teams can now finish on 12 points. What happens if Basel have a better h2h against United, but a worse h2h against CSKA, and United have a better h2h against CSK but worse against Basel? Or is it all just goal difference?
Essentially a 3-team table is created with the results between those teams, which goes to goal difference. As it is now it's
Man United +5 (7-2)
Basel -1 (4-5)
Cska -4 (3-7)
So Cska need a 3 goal win.
United had all but guaranteed the top spot after four games already. They would have to lose to CSKA 2-5 or more to lose the top spot and then Basel would have to fail to win against Benfica. If Basel win against Benfica it pretty much puts CSKA out unless they win by 4 or more at Old Trafford.
Edit: I remembered that United beat Basel 4-0 so yeah a 3 goal win would do it.
35 Year old Yakubu retired today.
Interesting DOB on these squad listings

If I recall correctly in a 3way tie it's only the matches between those teams that get factored in.
Edit: "If more than two teams are tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams are still tied, all head-to-head criteria above are reapplied exclusively to this subset of teams;"
So the results against Benfica are removed and it's Points>Goal difference>Goals scored>Away goals scored. It means United are top unless they lose by 5 goals or more and Basel can't be top (since CSKA will overtake them in that scenario). CSKA need 3 goals or more to go to the next round.
God it's years since I went on rsssf. The greatest website there is.
United should be alright as long as they play a goalkeeper, Ogba, and then just nine other random idiots. If it's ten idiots, or nine idiots and Nemanja Matic, then they're stuffed.
David Unsworth appears to be arguing with... himself re the Niasse dive.
Also, I thought it was common knowledge that the likes of Terry Butcher, Lee Dixon and Danny Murphy are on the panel... hardly "those who don’t know the game"."We don’t want contact taken out the game. Slowly but surely, piece by piece, it has started to come out of the game."
"I am all for protecting players and nobody wants to see bad tackles."
"But we do have to have experts who know what a foul is and those who don’t know the game… It’s a dangerous place and a dangerous precedent that could be set if decisions are given against you which are debatable."
"I think it’s a great rule but it doesn’t change my stance on if there’s contact anywhere on the pitch – slight or not, contact is contact."
How much have you heard of Terry Butchers football insight in the last few years?
Listening to Lee Dixon's thoughts on anything is akin to drowning in engine oil.
Robinho sentenced to 9 years in jail lol.
Is that an actual sentence, or one of those third world ones that turns into a fifty quid fine on appeal?
1) it's Italy
2) it happened 4 years ago
3) the chick who got assaulted was Albanian
He won't serve a day.
The Östersund FM-save continues.
They don't put the foreign Europa League matches on over here so have to use the PPV service. I've spent a tenner this month watching two of the worst matches I've ever seen.
Yuge dive. At least something happened.
