    Sydney Croatia fans chanting "Za Dom, Spremni".

    Probably a good idea that all the ethnic Clubs have been banned from the A League.





    Pretty brutal response to "Welcome to County".

    127 dead after riots broke out between fans of Arema and Persabaya.





    There's some much more grim videos doing the rounds.

    Looks mental, surely there is conventional wisdom about police not using dispersal measures on crowds in tight spaces.

    I think United could win today, they are a bit of a shithouse side like that this season. Beat an admittedly lol Liverpool at the time against the odds, beat Arsenal despite Arsenal being the better team and wouldn't be surprised if they at least avoid defeat today. Then all their fans can publicly mastubate about how they are back until they drop points away at Omonia and Everton.

    I like how the reaction has deemed Nazi salutes/mental chants and booing 'Welcome to Country' to be roughly equivalent.

    Now that Lampard has finally learnt how to set up a defence, he’s looking like a properly decent manager. Gerrard in his shadow again.

    Yep it's into the culture war now. For some reason the MSM won't talk about the ultra nationalist Croatian Club that have been at it since 1958. Every capital city has a Croatian equivalent with the club houses full of banter items.

    This Manchester Derby should be quite fun. Neither team have went for a midfield by the looks of it. McTominay the sole player on the pitch with any defensive awareness - and how much does he really have?

    Man Utd could score a few on the break but think they’ll be too open. De Bruyne should have a field day.

    Akanji + Ake centre back pairing would have me a bit worried if I was a City fan, but the rest of their team (and depth) really is absurd.

    The biggest issue is definitely no Rodri. Ake has been good and looked better than Dias this season. Fuck knows about Akanji, loves a cock up. I was expecting a much worse team based on Gary Neville's reaction. Really don't understand why Casemiro is still being benched.

    I can't believe I'm saying this, but McTominay has genuinely earned his place recently.

    Well this is frantic so far. If Dalot doesn't get sent off after getting himself booked 2 minutes in it'll be a miracle.

    The most success I have nowadays has been downloading Acestream and then using this:

    https://acestreamsearch.net/en/

    To search for the channel.

    De Bruyne into Haaland is a cheat code.

    Haaland breaks every record going if he wasn't a bit prone to an injury

    He really is (in my football watching lifetime at any rate). Genuinely think we're looking at one of the best of all time here and he seemingly has all the mental attributes to make that happen too.

    It's a bit like watching a Chinese game in 2018 when you had Oscar or someone show up and operate on a different level. It's quite odd seeing it happen in a Manchester derby.

    It's a shame for us English fans that he'll fuck off to Madrid in a couple of years.

    I was wondering a year or two ago whether that would stop happening now that we have the Super League but they really have nailed the changing of the guard. Maybe if City finally start winning Champions Leagues.

    Don't understand why we weren't trying to keep the ball a bit more like this in the first half, rather than instantly trying to counter and giving the ball back to City every time.

    Still would have lost but you've got no chance of staying in the game if you're just gifting City possession constantly.

    In fairness, quick counter attacks have been pretty much the only way to beat them for a few seasons now. It appears them finally having (and playing) a competent striker has put an end to that.

    They could go undefeated all season if he keeps this up.

    Absolutely, but there has to be some sort of measure to it. Just launching it forward on the third touch of the ball every time you get possession is never going to work.

    This United team has good players, despite all the (deserved) lolling. They can actually pass the ball about a bit, as they are showing.
