Ellis H

I'd like to think he was so embarrassed at being put in that position by Chelsea that he deviated from his orders and refereed the game fairly as a fuck you.

"For the first time in the club’s 143 year history, Tottenham Hotspur have lost 6 consecutive matches" That's insane. Pardew must have managed that when he was here.

Made Raphina and Yamal look like the seat sniffers they are. Lewandowski can only dream of service like that.

Howe in charge of Barcelona would be scary. We've got, at best, half their talent but we're going punch for punch with them and it's not a one-off fluke. A complete lack of goal threat is a massive issue and needs sorting as a priority in the summer.

Osprilla hat trick written in the stars. He's such a wildcard it might actually be genius.

Mines knackered too.

If we get in Europe and do well in all competitions we just might play that many again. Forest are on 41 and they went out in the 3rd round of both domestic cups.

Their position says more about the league than them. Win 4 or 5 games in a row and almost anyone will be in the top 6, if not 4. The inconsistency is as exciting as it is baffling.

Nice to see this get bumped tonight, especially with that video. We'd be extremely lucky to be mid-table in the Championship with those two rather than in the last 16 of the Champions League. Remember that next time anyone feels like moaning.

6:30 for the weird question.

PSR is certainly getting the outcome they were after. I know Villa are massively over performing but you have to give them credit.

Villa 1 - 1 Leeds Chelsea 1 - 1 Burnley Wolves 2 - 2 Arsenal Chelsea 2 - 2 Leeds Howe needs to sort it out!

5 posts after a 6-1 away win in the later stages of the Champions League.

Are we winning?

Few bits from Popbitch today "Manchester United execs are absolutely horrified at Monaco Brexit billionaire Jim Ratcliffe’s bizarre comments that the UK is being “colonised by immigrants”. The club released a statement on Friday distancing themselves from Ratcliffe and reaffirming their commitment to diversity and inclusion. Well, he can’t really be surprised. During his tenure he’s cut everything from jobs to vegetables and sellotape. And then last year, he came for the freebies. Charities linked to the club, who previously received free tickets to home matches, were informed by email that the Man Utd Foundation would no longer be covering the expense. Given that charity tickets are rather limited in the first place, it was a particularly Scrooge move, even for Sir Jim." "PM writes: “I went to a celebratory dinner at Manchester United with a friend many years ago. While I was queuing for the bar Sir Alex Ferguson was stood in front of me chatting. After a short while he apologised for being in the way and offered to buy me a drink. It was a free bar.”" "Someone else in the Man Utd extended universe who also had a bad week was Frank Ilett, the superfan who is refusing to cut his hair until United win five games in a row. Last week, when the club were actually in danger of winning five in a row for the first time in recent memory, Ilett went into influencer overdrive for the big occasion. He partnered with Argos to deliver him the hair clipping implements and supposedly turned down £50k for a link up with a betting company. Sports journos hoping to interview him ahead of the big event were asked for £15,000 for the privilege - given he’d be sharing the interview on his Instagram. Unfortunately, United drew at game number five, so now the clock resets for at least another five weeks. (But that will at least give Frank the chance to raise his prices again.)"

If we wallop Qarabag we can "rotate" in the second leg, though we are rotating a lot anyway so I don't know how much more we can even do.

If it hasn't already been posted "Victory sees United's relentless midweek/weekend schedule extend still further: Champions League success against Qarabag would make 2025/26 our busiest top flight season in terms of competitive games played since 1968/69."

Good on him for laying into the linesman. You'd take a yellow for that all day.

Same with Tonali running over to Howe after the second.

Be my Valentine, Eddie 😍 😍 😍

Officials must love these games because they can do whatever they want with no comeback. It's much harder to be blatantly biased with VAR overseeing them.

Delap gets confused if there's no option to needlessly elbow someone in the head.

Heitinga then Poch in the summer to bring them back up?

Glasner would be a barrel of laughs when we don't buy anyone for 12 transfer windows in a row.
