Antony is actually so shit. United could have paid £1m and it would have been a robbery.

 

oh thank god they put Antony in

 

So good from Ederson.

 

Looks like Charlotte are going to the Celtic well to sign Abada.

 

Well that's that. United have looked terrified all second half.

 

Knew I couldn’t trust this group of absolute bums to help us.

 

Foden is more important to City now than De Bruyne.

 

All hope of an equalizer now rests on the shoulders of…mctominay?

 

Such a dusted derby. So predictable every time.

 

Brain dead defending

 

Thank fuck the Amrabat deal was just a loan + option. What an absolutely dreadful footballer

 

Absolutely.

Mainly cause there’s maybe been like two seasons in the last 4 decades where the clubs were in the same universe (and that goes both ways). Same for Liverpool vs Everton, which was been rubbish for a long time.

 

Well it wasn’t to be. Would be nice if we could sign some footballers in the summer. Even over if we could get any defenders in that aren’t made of wet paper.

 

Is there a scatter plot somewhere that shows the trend count of injuries throughout a typlical EPL season? Would like to get schooled up on how this season compares to others.

 

Also, Rashford should publish a PR piece every week if it means he’ll put more screamers in the back of the net like he did today holy cow

 

Losing Frenkie and Pedri ten minutes apart to injury is the woooooorst. It’s wild both have been freak accidents and not the uncalled fouls dominating this game.

 

How is he as a player?

 

As a player within the Ange system, you thought he would go on to do big things but since Ange left, he hasn’t hit the heights and has been shown up a lot more.

he’s clinical and effective. His movement with back post runs is unmatched for a winger I’ve seen in the recent times. However, his footballing ability is limited. He has pace but not real top pace. He isn’t a typical winger as he isn’t good 1v1, more of an “inside forward” type.

I saw Tavares goal for Charlotte and Abada would score that same goal coming in from right. As long as Dean Smith plays to his limited abilities then he’ll do really well.

The questions that follow him is his application in hard times. Obviously he’s only leaving us because of Israeli pressure being placed on him because his identity is at odds with the Celtic support stance. He has had times where he’s seemed off the boil because of personal things. He’s young though so hopefully improves the team. Good luck to him, he scored some great goals against our rivals.

 

3 losses in four now for Girona. They’re just 1 point ahead of Barca, four ahead of Atleti, and nine ahead of Athletic.

Could be touch and go based on this form as to whether they get into the CL

 

I'd be amazed if there hadn't been a significant step up. I know it's all anecdotal, but I can't ever remember it being so commonly mentioned (and also so noticeable in FPL) that so many teams have had like 8+ first team players out at once.

Just off the top of my head, I think Liverpool, Spurs, United, Newcastle and Chelsea have all had big injury lists at some point this season. I'm sure there are others too. Pretty sure Villa and Arsenal have also had periods with multiple key players missing.

 

Watched the highlights of this game and it brought me so much joy ha. Carnage.

 

Villa have had 3 ACL's.

We've all been here.

 

Cool event that my company is offering for us this month in support of International Women’s Day

 

Paul Tierney, who made a mistake in Liverpool's win at Nottingham Forest, will not referee a game in the next round of Premier League matches.

However, he will be the video assistant referee (VAR) for Arsenal's home game with Brentford on Saturday.

So no punishment, then lol
