Chinese teams once again sent essentially U23 squads to the AFC Champions League... some cracking results so far..
Shandong Taishan 0–7 Daegu FC
Urawa Red Diamonds 5–0 Shandong Taishan
Johor Darul Ta'zim 5–0 Guangzhou
Guangzhou 0–8 Kawasaki Frontale
Shanghai Port didn't even both turning up and withdrew, and Changchun Yatai withdraw months ago, giving Sydney a bye to the group stage.
Why are they doing that?

- Money slowly disappearing because half the teams are backed by property companies
- Fears that some players may struggle to get back into China (covid)
- Fixture clashes with CSL, even though it doesn't
FEC masterclass incoming
Oh boy that United team is poor. This could be a massacre.
Maguire is quite good in a back 5 as long as he’s only needing to clear stuff. I’d weirdly be more confident with that line up.
1-0 someone
Tonight is the first night i think in years that I will choose not to watch. Fuck that.
Quite.
We're so shit. We're getting fucked hard tonight.
I assumed it was offside when I looked up and seen two blokes running for the ball and not a Man Utd player in sight. Jesus
The most mawkish thing I've ever witnessed there.
This could be double figures if they want.
The pass from Mane there was brilliant.
Pure filth from Mane.
Phil Jones breathing out of his arse already.
At least this is the low point.
Mane diving
Scumbag.
AWB and Lingard wearing gloves is literally the most scandalous thing to have ever occured in the sport, no lie. Like there's no way a footballer isn't overheating in them in these temperatures if he's actually doing a fraction of what he's meant to.
manc sean was calling Aaron Wan-Bissaka shit, loudly calling him a competition winner and all sorts, when he was at the peak of his regular good games against City powers. He should be the Director of Football.
On the other end, our resident keen redditor was still calling him a top top defender after watching him scramble about like a sunburnt bambi.
Did Pogba really just sack it off because he didnt fancy it? Tonight, not the way he does in general.
I don't know but the TV producer knows what he's doing with the long shots of his black face.
Does Ron Atkinson still do MUTV coverage?
This post would be a hard one if it was in a guess the year competition.
Remember that Newcastle game under Jose Mourinho where he just walked around for an hour? At least Fellaini fouled people.
Dropped to their shitty level in this half.
Has Elanga won a competition to play for United?
More of a runner-up level prize now.
That little turn and pass from Mane to Robertson.
Yeah come on get some fouls in.
MASSIVE fan of Hannibal deciding to kick some Liverpool players.
More of that please.
The senior players will be absolutely disgusted at Hannibal for a) running and b) looking like he wanted to get the ball back.
Not the United Way, sunshine.
What a great evening
Gateshead's youtube channel just put the highlights up from Monday's game. Darlo's first goal was pretty good. One of those free-kicks that just completely catches the keeper completely out. We were basically trying to pass our way through a wall for the first half. I think three of our goals came from hoofs over the top.
Mane is looking unplayable at the moment. Says a lot about United that winning 4-0 doesn't feel like a big deal whatsoever.
Yeah Mane as a "False 9" is pretty phenomenal.
I'm a twit
That’s the third straight year at Stamford Bridge Chelsea have decided to hand Arsenal a free goal out of nothing
Ramsdale is so fucking bad
I need a STAT MAN to tell me what the average goals per game there is from an unforced error keeping possession/passing at the back.
It seems disproportionately high.
It's like he was in slow motion. Utterly baffling.Ramsdale is so fucking bad
That's a lovely finish.
The left side of Chelsea’s defence (Sarr and Alonso) would honestly struggle to get in most teams in the league. Chelsea have some absolutely horrendous players on their books. Saka could and should have a field day here.
Well this is enjoyable.
These two sides are proper shit.
Putting on a decent game though.
Both teams having a mess of a defence and Chelsea having no one in midfield to control a game is making this some spectacle. Could genuinely be 4-4 or something
That Granit Xhaka cameo was worth the price of admission.
We gonna start getting excited at around the 80 min mark? Mon you beautiful bearded genius.
Some of these goals have been amazing.
Sarr gives me hope of a late Premier League career
You stupid prick.
It was 15 mins later, you retard
Football fights are so shit, just punch someone you fannies.
