One the one hand Man Utd’s demise is funny but on the other hand I’m worried that they’ll sack Eric Ten Hag and get a decent manager instead.

I’m actually hoping they beat Villa before the international break and they end up keeping him a bit longer as manager.

United seem to be a manager graveyard. I wouldn’t worry for now. 
 

More worried about them sacking ETH right before we play them!

Man United imploding. There's nothing better.

Just a shame Spurs won.

Next week going to be hilarious. Brighton v Spurs. The high line derby. Going to set records of offsides and distance covered. 

Or have 20 players in the centre circle and halfway line. An elaborate rondo. Lol

Hopefully Kadıoğlu starts again then it will be a Rondo à la Turk. 

Have you guys wondered how ETH is still at MU? You listen to him 2 minutes and you are very unconvinced he is a good leader for that side or to a football club or any sort. 

We have had our numbers over the years such as Potter but this Dutch guy is baffling personality to say the least. He opens his mouth and I immediately want to either leave or shut him up. 

Wonder how he is with the players...

City did us all a favour by losing that Fa cup final so MU is still a mess under that man. 😅

These Ineos guys are alright you know. 

As an aside, guess which year they became part-owners of the Mercedes F1 team?

Oh dear.

Kai Havertz has said that winning the CL with Arsenal would mean more than winning it with Chelsea.

Shame he's never going to find out how it feels to win it with Arsenal.

I went to Bratislava, City's opponents tonight , decades ago when we played them.

Strange place, the hotel had brutes as bouncers at the hotel entrance with baseball bats at hand..! That was enough to dampen the mood at the bar !

Ungrateful f**ker.

I guess being fair to him, he was happy at Chelsea until his fellow countryman Tuchel got sacked and then things went downhill. Can't be easy being a player when coaches come & go as regularly as they do at Chelsea.

But I'm glad he's at Arsenal 'cos it makes it easy for me to hate him. They are up there with Spurs and the dippers as the sides I want us to beat more than any other. Really hope we beat Arsenal this season and Havertz has one of his usual shockers - will help to remind him that London will always be BLUE.

The ONLY time I've ever wanted Liverpool to win the CL final is when they played Spurs. 

And only times I ever wanted Barca to win the CL final was when they played Arsenal and won. And when they did the same against Man Utd.

TBF I usually want every other English team to fail in Europe.

I felt sick when Utd had the late comeback win against Bayern, the Liverpool comeback game in Turkey was f**king worse. The BBC devoted most of the next day following the team bus on its journey to Liverpool.

It was a pure horror film.

Oh and the only time I want PSG to win is in  games like tonight!

😂

Would be f**king Havertz 

PSG aren't getting into the knockouts. They look shocking. 

PSG wouldn't even finish in the top 10 in the Premier League.

Celtic doing what Celtic do best. Getting absolutely gubbed in the Champions League group stage.

Arsenal getting away with the Dark Arts again.

Blatant foul by Rice.

Always nice when Celtic are gubbed but then I am biased!

The new Champions League format has just made the competition weaker. This is the best of Europe competing against each other? There are too many teams getting stuffed. This competition is closer to being like a European or World Cup qualifier than an actual competitive tournament.

Yup @Scott Harris - killed my interest - bad for the players - bad for the clubs - bad for the fans - bad for football.

Good to see Kai doing well though - classy player.

Yet after beating Slovak Bratislava, according to a few Celtic supporters in my work place. “Celtic are now a European Force!”😀

Is he f**k!

Quite happy for gooners to win a few games early only to fail when it comes to the crunch. Get their hopes up then watch the tears flow when they crash out and Chelsea remain the only London club to win the CL - Twice!

 

Gotta love Italian football. All over the news here that around 20 AC Milan and Inter ultras have been arrested for criminal activity and links to the 'Ndrangheta, the Calabrian "mafia" that has long since left the Sicilian mafia (Casa Nostra, of Godfather fame) in its wake for violence and business acumen with an annual world-wide turnover of around €70bn.

A long period of surveillance and tapped phone calls uncovered offences including blackmail and extortion mainly targeting businesses servicing the San Siro including food outlets, car park operators, et al. With drug trafficking thrown in too.

At this point both AC Milan and Inter have been cleared of knowledge and involvement.

he knows that won't happen

The love in with Arsenal is getting embarrassing now, the bookies are falling into the same trap, just because Rodri is out they have now made Arsenal PL favs

silly Saka is letting it go to his head saying they will win the PL this season, as for the CL, apart from Inter Milan they have the easiest set of fixtures in the CL, so they should get through BUT when they get a decent side in the quarter finals - OUT THEY GO
