    I've just seen a photo of Wayne Rooney for the first time in a while. Poor bloke looks about 50

    He would be mad to leave Derby at this point. The Everton job has Frank written all over it imo.

    History shows that we are not in fact too good to hire Frank Lampard.

    He gets the Chelsea and Everton gigs b2b whilst Patrick Vieira slogs away for 8 years for a taste of EPL action. Gammons gotta gammon.

    To be fair he's always looked like 10-15 years older than he actually is.

    I think pretty much every podcast which has someone who has knowledge of his time in Germany and France says that he has a shelf-life with a club because of his intensity. He fell out with a few at Dortmund by all accounts and although PSG is a basket case it doesn't sound like he really helped himself there either.

    Apparently it's Xhaka and was done with no subtlety whatsoever for 7 figures.

    Surely the Granit Xhaka to be booked market isn't one particularly worth fixing?

    Played the long game hasn’t he. Got booked most matches in his career, all on purpose, so when he did his dodgy one nobody batted an eyelid.

    Indeed. So are we to presume that 'suspicious betting patterns' is actually just code for 'someone put a big bet on and won and we'd rather not pay please?' as I believe is the M.O. of BIG GAMBLING generally?

    He should have been booked earlier in the match too. Bet he was fuming the referee made him time waste instead

    Certain dodgy bets are very easy to spot and this one seems incredibly blatant. Presumably some dodgy fucker has told him nobody would know. They probably executed it on a smaller scale prior to this to ensure he was reliable and then went all in for a big pay day.

    If 'Ralf' really got on his PowerPoint and told the United board that three of Ole Gunnar Binman's back four are shit then he deserves a five year deal.

    This has been fucking shit.

    I particularly liked the bit where Dalot was being left to mark three men on the counter while his team mates casually jogged back.

    Mohammad Amir got 5 years ban for a Xhaka type offence (and some custodial time, iirc). Let's see how the land lies in football.

    That Spurs midfield 3 isn’t half depressing. Harry Winks lives for the sacking of managers. Only time he seems to play is at the start of their tenure. Nothing player

    Was Anthony Elanga ever HYPED as a youth player? I don't remember his name coming up much like how everybody knew Greenwood was going to make the first team, but he looks quite good and quite mature as well (probably about thirty though isn't he).

    Bergwijn has scored in the 96th and 97th minute to put Spurs 3-2 up. Leicester are a mess

    He was booked in the 95th minute and ran into the crowd after he scored his 2nd. Ref bottled sending him off

    United first half yesterday was one of the worst. Completely outplayed and made Brentford look like Barcelona. Whatever was said at half time obviously worked and the goals transformed us. The second goal is a classic counter.

    I thought Ragnick did well with Ronaldo. He needs to be protected at his age and coming back from injury. No issue with Ronaldo being annoyed, it's the sign of his character that he just wants to play and could probably sniff a goal was coming. If we can combine the second half with villa first and put it into one game then we might have a chance.

    It's alright mate, Chelsea aren't at that much risk of ballsing up being in the top 4. You'd probably be better off asking for them to be thrown out of the competition said testing/postponement pertained too anyway, so your boys could have a clearer path to winning it.
