Wouldn't take Rashford at all. He's at the apologising for his career stage already and, fine, looking for a fresh start. I just don't like players who publicly ask to leave despite the trust of various managers who have tried to get the most out of his clear talent.

Yes, time to re-unify the fans with their global fan bases instead of their actual ones. Finally, someone has come out and said it and I for one respect our new unthreatenining looking, jumper wearing overlords.

Just give them an airport of their own. Next home game attendance excuses;

Whatever the rights and wrong of the debate, I very much enjoyed this joke.

My silly comment just made me laugh when I posted it. I'm very sorry for my childish behaviour.

First we're complaining about getting points we shouldn't have. Now we're complaining about not getting points we should have. Come on NO, make your minds up.

Amorin may or may not be good, but he's at a high pressure PL job now and is used to working with a sporting director, presumably, so probably needs that support. Whether Ashworth was the man to do that is a different matter, but it's quite a destabilising thing for them to cut him loose so rapidly. Interesting if we really were after Zirkzee. He's hard to judge as a player right now, but the main thing you'd take from that would be that Man U would obviously have access to our targets and financial situation with him there, which was the main thing I was worried about with him leaving. Well, that and destabilising us for a while by needing to find a successor. Hope he does go to Arsenal next, writes a lovely open letter about how excited he is to be there and then just annoys the hell out of Arteta with his awful wheel banter.

He's 90% coat

And reader, that mate was Christiano Ronaldo. (Just thought that would be a better ending)

Dan has certainly done a good job in messing up two clubs' planning, whilst coming across as a bit of a fool at best with the e-mails. Time for a job at Halfords so he can waffle on about wheels and spokes to his heart's content instead of prancing around football clubs like a clown. On a different note, I'm still not convinced many DOFs do anything much except blame managers and plead for time due to it all being a long term project. As cushy a job as a fourth choice goalkeeper.

The daft thing here is that you should have been able to strengthen your squad more in summer given that you are competing in Europe. That would have benefitted all of the PL by improving coefficients across Europe - the current rules don't just stifle yourselves, but the whole league at the same time.

I'm not sure how much he'll have actually done. Was it not reported that he spent the first 6 months here conducting an audit of where the problems were? Pure speculation, but perhaps the role wasn't what he thought. Or some clash over roles and influence. There was chatter that he didn't like the amount of influence he had here, with either Amanda or Howe etc being more involved than he thought. No idea if that was true, but if so maybe something similar there.

"sold"

Absolutely superb tonight. Going a year without competitive games is quite some thing to work through but he was really ticking today. Between him and Isak for our man of the match.

More repercussions from our summer transfer window I see. Howe and Mitchell had better sort all this out.
