Woof.
Jesus, just seen the Euro draw. The only saving grace is that we haven't played Serbia in forever (at least as far as I can remember) and playing them first up in Gelsenkirchen has a real 'Battle of...' feel to it.
Group B is quite good.
Garnacho is a good little player but is a right cheating cunt. Always rolling around feigning injuries.
Group F has occurred in every Euros ever, I'm sure.
Why doesn't there seem to be a euros wall chart predictor thing online yet? ffs
'Fletch' is such a bad commentator, and I don't mean he annoys me or I don't like him, he's technically bad. Waffling on about irrelevant shite at the wrong times and just not eloquent enough for the job.
On a positive note, if one of Miley and Mainoo can develop into a scurrier / get the work done then that's England's midfield behind Bellingham sorted for the next 15 years. The former in particular seems to have an amazing instinct for a percentage ball, which is how the game is now played.
Sky get loads of shit, rightly, but theyre absolutely streets ahead of TNT.
Miley looks an incredible talent, especially with that physique.
Another humiliation on xG and Alisson is gonna be fit for the Anfield visit
This should be about 5-0, a completely one-sided thrashing. The only question is whether United will burgle 1 or 3 points in stoppage time.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka took a nap there.
Anthony Gordon winding up our top scorer would be something.
Rashford's hour here should probably see him training with the reserves until March. Not interested whatsoever in the team. Not sure if he doesn't fancy it because it's cold or what, but you could watch the apathy dripping off him.
Has he started putting a limp on yet?
We will steal a point here, at least.
This is one of the worst performances I've ever seen.
I had never heard of Sofyan Amrabat before the World Cup, and had United not signed him I don't think I ever would have again.
Egghead is a fucking travesty and United need to rid themselves of him before they end up with more Ajax outcasts like Chuba Akpom.
I can smell a Slabhead goal.
Steve McClaren has the most hair on the bench. That cant be right.
My nose was off.
Much like Ten Hag's tactics.
No urgency or pressing of any kind until about the 3rd minute of added time.
No real identity or sense of a plan beyond grinding games out either.
Which is forgiveable on its own, but the reason he did so was because he had pre-written a stat about Newcastle's lack of substitutions recently and just HAD to read it out when there was a sub. A proper commentator wouldn't have got themselves into that position.
EtH really is awful but also probably as good as they'll get at the moment. It's hard to not feel sorry for Man United fans at this point.
In fairness to Sir Twat Busby I'm not sure there are many coaches who could make the bunch of overpaid whining tossers who make up the Man U squad into an exciting team. They need to completely tear it down and start again, but under the glazers just haven't been willing to do so. Maybe Bradley Wiggins or whoever is now in charge will get it done.
Once again thrilled to see Heckingbottom getting shown up. Gone by the morning presumably.
Also ETH must be consciously styling himself like Coach Beard from Ted Lasso.
Rashford and Martial are absolute jokes. Starting with both and Fernandes is basically like having 8.5 defensively. Easy for Newcastle (who weren't even particularly good).
Minteh might be getting recalled next month. He's done alright at Feyenoord.
Thus Chelsea/Brighton game really should have a ridiculous amount of goals. Both teams don’t have any fit full backs (or available to play) outside of Joel Veltman who might have to play centre half
Tuned into the draw to see the derby drawn.
Stoke away for Brighton and the 6th Premier League opponent in 7 years for Liverpool.
Absolute write-off of an FA Cup draw.
Brighton benching their 3 best players, easy Chelsea win.
They have one home win at home (Luton) in about 18 games. I wouldn’t be so sure.
Unlike most seasons I can see Chelsea's massive bloated squad coming into its own at this time of year, especially as most squads seem to be collapsing completely.
Apparently O'Mahony on the bench for Brighton is Ferguson Mk2.
Great FA Cup draw, as they go:
Arsenal v Liverpool
Sunderland v Newcastle
Shrewsbury v Wrexham
Wigan v Man U
Belter of a free kick from Trent.
Brighton are a shambles here.
I'd rather have Adrian in goal...
Alexis outdoing Trent with a belter half volley from 30 yards there.
