Good effort.
Brighton: £50m?? Well in, lads.
Chelsea: Pending results of The Operation
Leeds: Danj-Ames! Danj-Ames! Danj-Ames!
Liverpool: Because FM contract renewals are the best bit!
Manchester United: Ronaldo 1-0 (plus some other nobodies.)
The Villa: Young.
Tottenham: Levy will be delighted to keep Charlie Kane around.
West 'Am: Big Mark Noble's presence is like three new signings.
You didn't list [somebody else] Webly, you cunt.
If we don't talk about 'tiers' ever again it'll be too soon.
Good effort.
That was such a good ball by Fernandes too.
Free-kick in perfect range for Ronaldo to send one into the stands
Has to be said, Jadon Sancho has looked proper wank so far in a Utd shirt.
I was at work for the last game but heard he was better. But yeah he's taking a bit of time to get going.
That was a stupid tackle to make. Deserved red.
I love this home kit of theirs. Not really ok to own though is it?
We're going to fail to beat the Young Boys aren't we?
Just the four first half penalties in the other game. All stonewall as well.
That first touch from Wan Bisakka before the sending off was glorious
Sending on Matic to try and hold the point, lol.
He's shit the bed a bit with this. You don't need to immediately go full last stand against 10 men.
That pitch invader made the steward look like a right mug there.
Some top quality moves there.
lol
Playing for a draw against fucking Young Boys. That’s what you get.
Beautiful that it was Lingard too.
Why did De Gea give him the whole goal to pass it into lol
That was looking like a decent point.
It's a pity that was completely predictable from how Ole reacted to it.
When something goes wrong it's important to shit your pants as hard as possible and totally give up on any idea of doing anything else in the game.
That was not very good.
Enjoyed Ole employing a random substitution generator in that game. Dare I suggest he clearly hadn't put the remotest thought into how he'd play if the team went down to 10 men before this game?
Can't be that hard just to jig it around so you get someone to replace Wan-Bissaka? Sacrifice a man up top but keep the midfield and defensive shape.
Oof. I'll be honest, I don't know who's best suited to break up the midfield for United. I guess that's why he brought on Matic but it clearly didn't produce much.
That's not the first time Ronaldo has been weak around Young Boys.

"Fortunately, we have a good holding midfielder right here ..." <sends Carrick out wearing Matic's shirt>
This game is the perfect example of why I said before the season we won't win anything having not brought in a top quality midfielder. There's nobody in the squad who can run the midfield in difficult situations like that one.
Sending Matic on was also an acknowledgement he screwed up subbing Van De Beek.
They may be good, even great, players on their day, but I don't think you can get away with Ronaldo, Pogba and Bruno as the front three in that scenario with everyone else circling the wagons in the box. Not enough speed or movement or effort, frankly.
I'm hearing you've been a bit unlucky with opponents not employing the low block that your £80m playmaker thrives in. Give him time.
And Pogba, Bruno, Rapist in a team of 10 must have been bants. Go suck many dicks
He could have taken Paulp Ogba off for a right-back and been left with a solid midfield three and two fast attackers - one of which is Ronaldo, who takes up three markers - left on the pitch. But that would have meant taking his second biggest name off, so obviously not happening.
Pogba started on the left wing. So after he took Sancho off, the theoretical midfield 3 was the same as the one you've just suggested and it absolutely wasn't working. It wasn't til half-time he changed it to 3 at the back and took Van de Beek off.
Ole Gunnar Binman strikes again.
United deserved defeat simply for playing in that dreadful kit instead of red. Why not play in red ffs? You're Manchester United and they play in yellow. Fuck you.
Do the teams get to decide which kit they play in?
I've read that three times and I still don't know whether to protest outside Old Trafford or outside UEFA HQ.For all competition matches, the home club has the first choice as to which of its official playing attires announced on the playing attire approval form it wears for its home matches. In the qualifying phase, the clubs agree on the colours to be worn from the playing attires announced on their playing attire approval form. If the clubs are unable to agree on the colours to be worn by their teams, they inform the UEFA administration, who takes a final decision. As of the play-offs, the UEFA administration proposes which colours should be worn. The proposals can be changed at the request of the clubs provided that the alternative solution does not lead to clashes in any part of the attires. If no agreement can be found, the UEFA administration takes a final decision.
Nice to see Barca get a spanking. They've just bought on someone called "Yusuf Demir", who definitely isn't real
Not only have they been shockingly managed in the past, but they have Pedri, Ansu Fati and Ousmane Dembele all set to walk away for free in the summer. All very lol for various reasons.
Kakkers is getting 50 this year, 30 of them from Azpilicueta crosses.
