Napoli play beautiful stuff. They've been absolutely fantastic every time I've watched them this year.

 

This is so humiliating for Juve. I love it.

Those Neapolitans must be loving it.

 

Juve apparently had conceded only 7 goals all season before tonight. Napoli gonna almost double it, wow.

 

McKennie, Bremer, and Sandro have been dogshit

 

Villa 2-0 up doesn't reflect the flow of play.

 

I cannot imagine having a proven history of fixing football matches and attempting to take the high ground

 

Full sale is potentially cool. Potentially not cool.

 

Won’t be to Qatar or KSA, at least

 

If anyone was wondering how Leeds fans are doing, the terms “Bielsa”, “Marsh”, and “Yank Lampard” are trending on Twitter lol

 

Good thing I started a 48 hour football sabbatical because Shaw at centre back up against Haaland won’t be fun.

 

Yeah Shaw has done alright at CB previously against weaker opponents, but fear City will expose him. Malacia as well has a huge game ahead of him.

 

Ten Hag going Casemiro and Fred in midfield; better choice than the horribly lightweight midfield he went with in the first Manchester derby.

 

Case has been huge for us but I still find it strange that a lot of United fans don’t think centre mid is still a huge problem. The drop off from Case/Eriksen is huge. Another top quality player in there would go a very long way. It is further down the list than striker and goalkeeper but I don’t think we have a meaningful charge at a big trophy until another midfielder is brought in.

 

“Everton’s Board of Directors have been instructed not to attend today’s Premier League fixture against Southampton because of a “real and credible threat to their safety and security".“

 

Fuck me, it's impossible to escape Jermaine Jenas these days. Doing main co-comms for both BBC and BT Sport.

 

That sounds very cynical to me. "Security advisors", not the police. Nothing about any threats having been reported to the police. "Increasing incidents of anti-social behaviour".

 

United on top early, for sure.

 

Fred playing his ass off. Love to see it

 

Martial been baaad so far. Making absolutely no effort to sprint, either to get on the end of passes, to press, or to get back onside.

 

“He’d be more intimidating with a different haircut. I can’t take him seriously.”

Top notch commentary on Haaland from my mother, who doesn’t know he’s one of the best strikers in the world.

 

He would be though

 

Just imagine if he went with a buzz cut or some version of a Mohawk haha

 

Jenas saying "I can't see where the head injury was" at the exact moment the replay shows Malacia's head bouncing off the ground

 

Jenas is one of the worst co-commentators out there. The difference between the likes of Jenas or Dixon or Mills, and McCoist is an absolute ocean.
