    Thought United were pretty good all game tbh. Could've had five or six.

    If Liverpool don't annihilate United they ought to be doing their own sackings.

    We could have but more because Atlanta didn't even try to defend. A proper team (or indeed one who'd watched, day, more thahalf an hour of United playing football recently) would have lolled us into submission once they went two up.

    Atalanta and that severely depleted backline were a disgrace and they still scraped it. All set-up for him to keep things as is for the weekend

    Which should mean you win 4-0, but you won't, as (as I say) that's not the way football works.

    We'll smash them on xG, that's a given and from thereon in it's simply a question of will they fluke a miracle and anything out the game or will we deservedly run riot. Above evens, don't sleep on it kids.

    Reading this article https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58851494, this is the sort of stuff that keeps the PFM English manager in work, even for 1,000 games.

    Frank Lampard
    Another high-profile name, who didn't do his managerial reputation any harm during 18 months in charge at Chelsea.
    I mean, really?

    Lampard was perfectly fine. He's no worse than, say, Roberto Martinez.

    Lampard doesn't look out of place on that list. Honestly, the only one that excites me is Zidane and that's only for the opportunity to spot him in town.

    I thought he did OK considering the transfer ban. A lot of good things with the kids coming through and a few good signings when he was allowed. Some of his man management/use of players was strange with Alonso, Kante and Rudiger.

    Chelsea was obviously a step too far and he got it based in reputation to guide them through the transfer ban but I'd be happy with him at Southampton if Hassenhuttl gets sacked when we next lose 9-0.

    If its a huge budget like the press are reporting Conte would be the best of that lot, he seems to have a huge draw with getting players and gets results quickly.

    I don't think there's any change of Newcastle getting relegated either, even with Bruce in charge they finish safe. Wilson and Saint-Maximin get enough goals to win the required matches.

    Supposedly they are only spending £50m in January? Miguel Delaney and Rory Smith on Second Captains making some good points and parallels between this and the City takeover in terms of transfer strategy. Newcastle are starting from a lower base with a worse squad. Assuming they will struggle to attract top players in the immediate future, and some of the teams pillaged by City back then now have billionaire owners who won't sell as easily as before, who will they sign?

    Given the sob stories from the continent about money it could be the mother of all FM saves, hoovering up talent from all the non CL teams around europe

    I was also thinking, as Elano was mentioned - since the government apparently did some dodgy dealings to approve this ownership what are the odds of Newcastle getting some suspect foriegn visas approved that might not have been otherwise?

    So yeah, go full international crazyness and bring in loads of south american wonderkids and established european players to level up to the next tier of signings seems the best idea. Of course as an Arsenal fan if Newcastle would be kind enough to get relegated this season and give us some breathing space that would be great.

    First time back at Old Trafford for about two years last night and the atmosphere is weird. Maybe I've just got old but the buzz of the Champions League didn't seem to inspire people (it's probably because I'm old). It was definitely starting to turn near half time with the low level grumbles, I'm not sure it'll remain civil if they keep churning out performances like that first 45.

    What a fucking game though, loads of chances, late comeback. Brilliant. Stick your xG up your arses.

    The atmosphere sounded mega at the start. Were BT mucking about with the balance?

    It could just be the way the sound carries at OT but most of the people around us didn't really make a peep. The Stretford end were great though.

    The Roma - Glimt highlights make for great viewing. Didn't look a bad side on paper but they played a high line and all of the back four looked shit scared.

    the Argentine striker then went on to marry her, appoint her as his agent and also got the names of López's three kids tattooed on his arm.

    Sunday looks a phenomenal day of football.

    Nice v Lyon 12:00
    Brentford v Leicester 14:00
    Barca v Real Madrid 15:15
    United v Liverpool 16:30
    Roma v Napoli 17:00
    Inter v Juve 19:45
    Marseille v PSG 19:45
    Sociedad v Atleti 20:00

    Presuming the game at OT is called off it should be a clear run.

    Foul throws are pretty rife in the game but repeat offenders like Bellerin used to get pulled for it.

    Me and my mate drunkenly vandalized some random ex-pro's Wikipedia and added a fairly sizeable section saying he'd started a campaign to "throw out foul throws", think it was James Beattie. Was there for ages as well. What a pair of losers.

    All on Premier Player / La Liga TV. Gary Lineker is doing some of the presenting this season. (I've not seen any of this year's yet, anyone know how it's been? The commentary was a bit iffy previous seasons.)

    Lineker just did an interview with Sid Lowe. https://www.theguardian.com/football...ess-lovely-guy
