    I'm not sure what's stranger, United's blue & yellow kit or Ralph Hassenhuttl donning a waistcoat.

    That United kit is pretty awful, although not a patch on that Spurs thing.

    lol if that's true about Shaqiri.

    Bit of a scuffle in the Nice-Marseille match.

    I see Guendouzi is still a colossal prick. When will players learn that threatening to fight 5,000 hooligans probably isn't a good idea...

    Wolves have lost both games, but they played really well in both. Traore is even bigger now and has a new set of gnashers. Trincao looks good on the ball but he has the strength of cereal box.

    Why are the Prem teams all absolutely smashing the lower league teams in this? Are the latter not bothering, or is the gulf just becoming stupid?

    Hot take: The League Cup is routinely better than the FA cup.

    The finals used to be better almost every year, but we've had some decent FA Cup finals during the City making it shit era.

    Away goals ride-or-dies crying salt tears about Monaco being eliminated is an interesting twitter that I didn't expect to pop up.

    And the League Cup is never better than the FA Cup, obviously. The FA Cup is magic unless all you watch of it is Arsenal reserves v Luton. 4Qual to round three and then quarter-finals to final are always class, it's just the February bit that drags out a bit as the mid table Prem sides with cynical managers gradually get knocked out.

    What a man.

    'Nah, all good' is pure ocker.

    Such a good mentor for Kyogo in regards to the racism stuff. He would have copped a barrage of racist abuse growing up in Melbourne(or anywhere back in white trash Australia) in the 70s playing wogball.

    I love the answer to the journo suggesting that qualifying for the group stage of the Europa would be good for his own coaching development.. "Er, yeah y'know... I coached in a World Cup, I've had some pretty big games".

    United getting their obligatory bye but they'll probably fuck it up somehow.

    How can you end up with a group with City, PSG and Leipzig as well as a group with Lille, Sevilla and Salzburg.

    United's group isn't the worst but it's hardly a "bye". Villarreal and Atalanta are good sides.

    'Atleti' and Porto, think I might steer clear of watching most of the group this season then, unless they implement this new 'let things go' refereeing style in Europe as well, in which case those two ties could be full on hilarious.

    I was only saying that after they got the pot 1 gift, but overall that's a pretty easy group.

    Problem with stacked groups is there are going to be dangerous sides coming second so the value of winning the group is not what it once was.

    Pot 1 letting the side down for Liverpool's Champions of Europe group. Has that ever happened (all 4 teams being previous winners)?

    Also, Leipzig must be thinking there's come sort of conspiracy against them, which there probably is.

    It's moot. Milan and Porto are probably wank, and Atleti are fairly toilet most of the time as well. An interesting group, certainly if one was a travelling fan. In this day and age probably preferable to the upstart minnow teams who are likely better than the illustrious names who have fallen on hard times.

    I have a feeling Porto will have the hardest time in our group. Not seen anything of Milan for 5+ years really so no idea what to make of them. As usual, win your 3 home games and nick one away and you're golden.

    If you can actually travel without the covid obligations.

    Would fancy a trip to Atalanta and Young Boys (oi oi etc) though. I'm sure we will find a way to struggle through the group.

    Yeah yeah, more hypothetical. All pretty decent places to go, even if they aren't 'unusual'.

    In terms of that group I reckon the match order is the most important thing. Worst case scenario is to get one of Milan or Porto away first, then A. Madrid at home I reckon. Best would be Porto (H), Milan (A) then a Madrid double header.
