No matter what happens in this Man City vs Chelsea game we end the day 5th right?

That Tonali goal reminds me a bit of the Joelinton finish against Chelsea last season, when through on goal he just twatted it into the near corner.

Before today, Plymouths away record was: Played: 14 Won: 0 Drawn: 3 Lost: 11 Goals for: 3 Goals Against: 35 Difference: -32 So for the self professed best team in the league to draw 2-2 at home against them, its not a good look

Only watched the last 10/15 minutes, at which point the game was dead, but seems like it was a solid and comprehensive win, that will get us back on the saddle for Champions League.

I'm really intrigued to see what our CB pairing is today, I'd be harsh as fuck on Burn, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's Botman and Schar.

Ruben Selles looks like he could be a pretty decent coach, given what he achieved at Reading given their circumstances, and how he's started at Hull.

He's kind of a victim of his own success, had a really good start to the season, with the team over performing, which raised people's hope, despite the expectations at the start of the season being a relegation fight, now they've had a slight dip and are outside of the play offs, so Watford gonna Watford.

Can someone copy paste, so I don't have to give the Daily Heil a click.

2024: 2025:

I get why it is a negative in this PSR world we live in, but a headline of "Previous Owner wanted to give the fans and manager something to be excited about", and that being seen as a negative will never not blow my mind.

One thing I think we can all agree, is the fact as a football fan you need to have a degree in economics in order to follow your club, is fucking shit.

I was actually thinking about this the other day, about how the League Cup has lost a fair bit of its prestige in recent years, and how it feels like a lot of Premier League clubs playing in Europe can't wait for it to be binned. Not sure how possible it would be but to "fix" the competition, I would make it a UK Wide tournament (Maybe the top 4 leagues in England and Scotland, and the top 3 in Northern Ireland and Wales) but I would make it a competition that doesn't involve teams playing in Europe that season. Teams like Brentford may then decide to actually compete in it, as its a genuine chance of silverware, and you get some weird matchups that could be a good payday for clubs in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Where is Ben Parkinson btw? Injured? Seemed to have a good start to the season, but hasn't played in a while.

That Championship relegation race is so unbelievably tight, Luton score a goal to go ahead at Oxford and go from 23rd to 18th.

I know it sounds stupid, and I'm not sure I quite believe it, but the more I think about it, in the short term Southgate may have actually not been that bad of an appointment. Tactically, he's not got a whole lot, which is his biggest limiting factor, but what he has proven over multiple roles is that he can sort out the culture and psyche of a squad, and get a hell of a lot of buy in from them. So even if it was a year or two stop gap, before getting someone tactically much better, like Amorim, for him to sort out the culture and attitude of the place, it may have not been a horrible idea.

The thing I find most interesting about Amorims comments yesterday was that it was so downtrodden, and negative, even if it is brutally honest (Which I admire him for tbh). They'd just come of a three game unbeaten streak, having put in positive performances at Anfield and the Emirates, and even if I think they where lucky against Southampton, they still showed the resolve at the end to turn it around, so there where positives in all three. This Brighton game was a set back, and was poor, but if I was the manager, i'd try and be at-least slightly uplifting, say something along the lines of "We've just had three games in which we made progress, this is a bit of a setback, but we're slowly getting better." Not come out with "This is the worst Man United team in its history, everyone is underperforming", it just feels needlessly negative when your job as a manager is to make the players confident.

Naaahh, thats Bilbao at this point surely

Don't be comparing us to Arsenal fans, I don't care what sort of banter is going on, that sort of insult is just uncalled for

You get over one loss quickly when its off the back of 9 wins in a row.
