The only reason any club should utter the name Steve Bruce when considering a manager is so that whoever they do actually bring in will be welcomed with open arms, like a reverse bait and switch.

RIP to the OG GOAT you will leave a legacy that will outlive all of us.

He seems like a canny bloke, does some great charity work outside the game. He is extremely thick, he knows he was out of line with what he said about Almiron and has been apologetic. He was a big fish in a small pond at Villa and the main man, at City he's just another number and they've ruined him, shadow of his former self, in hindsight a bad move for him. Can see him being sold on and coming back to form in a lower table team.

I am confident that in the January window we'll be looking for a missing piece or 2 that will allow us to punish teams that sit back.

It doesn't really matter what anyone else does at this point we have built a points difference and we just need to keep doing what we're doing and taking each game at a time, we concentrate on our own game and we can take top 4. Can we keep this form up? Years of Ashley says no but this is a new era and anything can happen.

Tbf my Liverpool supporting mates see us finishing 3rd with them in 4th, the man u fans I know reckon 6th and we're holding a false position.

Couldn't care less what other fans think, they'll say/believe anything that makes them feel better about the situation. Deep down they know what we know, Eddie has masterminded the biggest comeback since Kim Kardashian with majority players he inherited. The same players that they laughed at us buying have us 2nd in the league.

Gan on big Joe

Fgtfi!!!!

Goosebumps! Well that's got me stoked for today, bring it on!

Pretty one sided, scrappy in parts, strange ambivalence watching as I felt we were going to get stung by not taking our chances but at the same time wasn't worried that we'd concede.

The difference will be Messi and Alvarez, all due respect to England and Morocco but neither team have killer instinct on the pitch of that level.

France were the worst team on the pitch for the second game in a row there, extremely fortunate that they won that. Morocco were all over them just couldn't get the ball in the back of the net. Really feel for Morocco there, completely understand their frustration, they'll feel, much as England will, that they lost that rather than France winning it. Hope Messi tears them a new one.

Probably one of the worst officiating I've seen at a WC, having said that, we were the better team for large swathes of that game but failed to create many meaningful chances and the few we created, we spurned. France are dirty and got away with blue murder for most of the game and Mbappes laugh to the camera when Kane misses his penalty was indicative of the manchild he is. The loss against Italy last year was a bitter pill to swallow and had me devastated, I'm not even bothered by this, something about this whole world cup has been off. Argentina or Morocco ftw please.

Saudi game 8+ Corners 10+ Saudi shots Over 40 booking points That Saudi goal right at the death saved my ass Argentina game 2+ Argentina goals (Messi with crap pen nearly cost me) Argentina 15+ shots Under 60 booking points Both came in, started with a free £1 bet yesterday, up to £17 today, going to keep going until I strike out or its worth my while to withdraw.

Aaaaand they're out

Most of them in Chinese too, had to get to Google translate

Naymar being a prick in the 1st minute

I've got all the manu fans messaging me reckoning Apple will buy them and they'll be richer than us.

Brazilian bench looks stronger than most teams starting 11 in this world cup, it's insane.

Can't see past "ammunity"

Liverpool to scab their way to a win please and Burnley to hold Man u to a 0-0 and win on pens.
