I think they just think most people are idiots, it's not confined to football supporters.

I think Van Gaal has it right about them: the focus of the people who run the show is much more about the global business than the football. Still, never a safe bet to write off Manchester United. With that said, I really enjoyed that. The way the happiness gets sucked out is chef’s kiss.

The manager has literally said tonali is training less because he’s not used to the intensity so they’re giving him more recovery time. You’ll know if it’s a good signing or not by the end of the season.

And thus the plans are explained.

Ian’s brother is a keeper, and a bloody fine one at that!!

Sandro, miserable git

Concern is more interruption of planning, which Howe has said they’ve had less time for. No Botman against PSG presents a serious challenge. Good thing we’ve a better manager than them.

In rittenhouse: Oscar’s and Good Dog. Go to south street as well and enjoy the Wooly Mammoth (I think that’s what it’s called). Try also Frankford Hall and evil genius brewery (not central but well worth). For food make sure you go to reading terminal market! If you’re at the eagles live enjoy yourself, it’s one of the best atmospheres in sports when they play well. If you have time I’d try and have a walk around university city and grad hospital area, they’re beautiful. Drop me a DM if you need any more suggestions or help!

Was going over

Gordon is so much like Robben at stealing penalties. It’s really snide and yeh I will look the other way

The increased injuries and sloppier play as games come thick and fast - that’s a team getting used to elite level.

What you after - beer and casual? Smarter and cocktail? Dive bar?

Ah man what you doing there? Let me know if you need recommends, I used to live there.

We lead through a great goal and had one great effort saved. They had one very good chance saved and should have done better with a cutback. Otherwise we’ve looked more potent with the ball, but 2 high intensity teams are cancelling each other out a bit. Just my opinion.

Would it? It’s been a pretty even game thus far; largely scrappy.

Especially by the referee.

Genuinely poor ref as well

I’d be ok with Burn coming off at half time - that’s 5 really basic mistakes already.

Referee’s reluctance to book Burnley means they can keep on with cynical fouls. Can tell Kompany learned from Pep.

The difference Botman makes to our passing from the back is so stark right now

I’m in the habit of defending him but Burn looks hungover thus far

Rung 3: hundred hand slap

Can these power rankings have a name at each level? Top being “thunderbastard” and bottom being “a catholic’s piss” or something

Wasn't the Trippier one caused by Fat John McGinn kicking him? It's incredible how in each of the last 3 seasons a big signing has got injured almost instantly and missed 3 months - Trippier, Isak, now Barnes.
