    It is a shit name that he's clearly grown into. Aristotle Di Panini wouldn't find himself in this mess to begin with.

    Roberto De Zerbi is a great example actually. Unless he blows it by walking around in a chef's hat shouting mamma mia, he's just got instant respect.

    Neil 'Razor' Potter? I don't think so.

    Is you are bored, 30 minutes until Vietnam v Indonesia in the AFF semi final second leg (0-0 first game). Decent bit of needle between the two teams, particularly left back Doan Van Hau who should have been sent off about 3 times already in the first leg.

    Every year around this time I enjoy a little butchers at this wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022%E...oupe_de_France

    Absolute fucking chaos. Top flight side Strasbourg out, but don't worry, 6th tier outfit FCO Strasbourg Koenigshoffen 06 continues the city's interest into the last 32. Nice put out a full side including the likes of Kasper Schmeichel, Ross Barkley and Nicolas Pepe, but they were no match for 3rd tier Le Puy Foot 43 Auvergne, going down 3-1 (I'd be a bit suspicious of any football club founded in those parts in 1943). Meanwhile, there's a bun fight going on with crowd trouble having stopped the 8th round game between Reims Sainte-Anne and Wasquehal (5th and 4th tier), that match will have to be replayed with the winner travelling to 6th tier Pays-du-Cassel, who don't even have a wikipedia page. The winner of all that mess will go on to host... Paris St-Germain.

    I bet some absolute monster African/Arab talents reside in those tiers. Erection inducing natural talent with absolutely zero work ethic

    De Zerbi has made some minor alterations but it's still Potter's team. The acid test will be what can he do when they lose Caicedo and MacAllister in the summer. I do like that he seems to really like, and be getting output from Solly March. And his slightly more attacking approach generally.

    Flip over to the United match if you’d like to have a wank over Pellistri.

    Did Case-best midfielder in the league-miro do any of this playmaking for Madrid? I just remember him tackling and passing it three yards, which is why I didn't realise how ace he is.

    Not a lot, but I guess when you're playing with Kroos and Modric you don't need to do much playmaking.

    Very difficult to see who stops this Utd side. Rampant. Antony, Rashford, Pellistri and Eriksen [RAPE] to smash City and Arsenal.

    7/2 for them is very tasty. Man City aren’t all that great and look a bit meh whenever someone gets in behind them. Could be another high scoring game.

    It was good to get to old Trafford for the first time in ages last night. Charlton brought 9k fans and played some of the greatest hits like "your support is fucking shit" and "shall we sing a song for you".

    Pellestri was bright. Hopefully we see a bit more of him.

    I know it's oooruguay who probably aren't that deep, but it seems bizarre he can be a FIFA World Cup starter for them and not get a sniff of Man U's first team soccer.

    I'm guessing he's been catching up on physicality since joining but it seems ten Haag likes how he's progressing recently. I'd much rather watch a ball player like him than gammon gammon Elanga.

    Any truth that Charlton were doing a racism and absuing the disabled section?

    He's a complete waste of space as was predicted over 2 years ago thanks to his lack of physical attributes and plain mediocre technical ability.

    Uruguay's talent pool is very poor so it's no great achievement to be playing for them and Utd's stupidity in signing him is probably a big part of his undeserved opportunities (see also Varela).

    He was pretty awful at Rangers but Sunderland fans seem to love him and he’s doing well there.

    So, Scotland > Championship

    He's tearing it up for Sunderland from what I've heard.

    The kid is tearing it up with 7 goal contributions in 19 for Sunderland so they're now saying he could be the real deal and replace Antony next season for their Europa League campaign.

    He couldn't get a look-in on loan at Alaves or wherever it was either. Looked good tonight though

    Yeah a big part of that £36m fee which was quoted everywhere was in the dreaded variables. As has been said, shit at Rangers (although unlucky with injuries I heard?) but the Sunderland fans seem bewildered as to how they've ended up with such a good player on loan in the Championship.


    @Don Completely agree about the Uruguay talent pool being absolute wank

    A Rangers fan I worked with at the time said he looked alright enough in the first game, was absolutely nowhere near the level / intensity / whatever required for the Old Form game and looked lost and never really recovered from there.

    Pellistri looked surprisingly good last night. Be good to see him get some minutes off the bench over the next few months.
