United remind me so much of Arsenal during their dark years, just with an infinitely bigger budget.

There’s no leadership, no passion, no team spirit, no cohesion in the squad building, and no accountability for failure.

The dressing room is full of bad apples, too. Varane is just picking up a final fat paycheck. Rashford looks genuinely depressed. Antony is a prick. Martial is a waste of blood and organs who any competent team would have paid to fuck off two years ago. Sancho is lazy. Mount and Van De Beek don’t exist And the captain… I said it before, that Bruno card at the weekend was intentional, he wants to avoid being made the scapegoat against Liverpool after last time.

They’ll wait until Ratcliffe is in, fire Ten Hag, and recruit someone uninspiring to guide to 7th thanks to no European football.

 

Xabi Alonso?

 

He will be nailed on for the future Real Madrid job post-Ancelotti

 

Something doesn't add up here with Manchester City being the most viewed in the USA.

 

that is odd, i'm going to see if i can get a response from them

 

Probably due to being televised through most of the knockouts of the UCL as well.

 

the second graphic is cool but I wonder what people were doing when viewing the “team page”. I’m a United fan (groan) and I NEVER visit their website lol.

 

I watch a lot more of MC than MU because of FPL & because they play more matches per year by going deeper into tournaments

 

Stop pushing me closer to pledging allegiance to a different club. I'm already close enough to doing so as it is!

 

just to frame how bad this year has been

 

What the world really needs is Gary and Phil managing together!

 

Never heard of this Hamilton fella up front for City.

 

Good section on Football Weekly about how England might really struggle to get one of those extra CL places.

Could be just Arsenal & City in the CL knockouts which will make it very hard unless Villa/Brighton/Liverpool win the EL/ECL.

 

Think he is normally a wing player or a number 10, does not usually play as the main player up front from what I can tell. You would not know that by how he looked from that goal.

 

Also found out he is the famous ball boy that Pep was talking to during that Atletico Madrid match.

 

Forgot Kalvin Phillips was even at man city.

 

You can be forgiven. This is only his 6th start for City!

 

Feel like the club would sell him but that my guess is it would involve him taking a cut to his wages which seems he does not want to take.

 

Two first senior goals in this match, that was a filthy little run from Bobb.

 

A stain on the modern game, then. I mean, he could still get an England call next year.

 

Absolutely bonkers that PSG haven’t scored here. What a block on the line by Sule

 

Yeah, just came to say how unbelievable that was from Sule.

 

The Newcastle pressure pays off. They go through as it stands.
