Big win against Burnley, much needed after a month or so of good performances and no results. Good team from Frank, Ajer at right back is great cover for us to have and Janelt played left back really well. Janelt is so versatile, number 8, 6, LCB or LB, he’ll do the job. Collins played really well too, love how high up he pushed defensively, always trying to win the ball and play someone in. He will be playing for a big club in the next couple of years. Nearly had an assist today too. Dominant going forward today, great team goal for Wissa’s first, Mbuemo decides to score a curler from outside the box so Ghoddos goes one better and rifles one in. Maupay unlucky not to have scored today, VAR ruled the build up play offside fairly. Had another go in the box after that Trafford tipped over. His build up play was also excellent, game Wissa and Mbeumo a platform to perform on. Hopefully we get more of that because there’s so much to get out of Maupay that the league is yet to see. We now play Chelsea, West Ham, Liverpool and Arsenal. Tough month ahead, I think we’re hoping for Schade to come back by end of November against Arsenal, Dasilva too, but we’ll see. Hopefully Lewis-Potter should be back soon too.

the covid vaccine

No of course not, but considering his father was murdered during the troubles there is some weight behind it.

Patrick Kielty shared a very poignant message on the Late Late show, hopefully some peace can be found eventually for innocent civilians on both sides of the conflict.

When does the big bad Bentancur come back? Genuinely one of my favourite players in the league, the more I see of Bissouma the more I want to see them together.

Our current injury/suspension list in formation of our preferred starting eleven versus our current injured eleven. As you can see (bolded = injured) 4 players remain currently in the preferred eleven. Preferred Eleven Flekken Hickey - Pinnock - Mee - Henry Damsgaard/Dasilva - Norgaard - Jensen Mbeumo - Toney - Schade Schade - Toney - Lewis-Potter Damsgaard - Baptiste - Dasilva Henry - Pinnock - Mee - Goode Flekken Injured Eleven

I miss Ollie at Brentford! He does a lot of leg work that players around him can benefit from, he fit so well into our frontline of him, Benrahma and Mbeumo. They just all created for each other and it was very fluid, it meant that he scored all types of goals rather than just the one type over and over. I think when you get that fluidity from him you will get a variety of goals and a lot of them.

Watkins is better than Nketiah and Wilson, glad to see him get the call up, looks set to bag 20+ this season. Bowen with a deserved call up too. I know people will focus on Maguire and Phillips but there is a lot of depth to this England team that has been introduced the last couple of games. The Australia game should be a good run out for the wider squad, shouldn’t need to play as strong a team as we did against Scotland. For Italy I’d like to see something like: Kane Foden - Bellingham - Saka Rice - Trent Trippier - Guehi - Stones - Walker Pickford

Seville?

Oh mate I’m with you, but Sky apologise everytime you hear swearing come through. Micing the ref up will be their worst nightmare lol

Premier League will never mic a ref up with the way players speak to them. Recipe for disaster

I tuned in yesterday morning to the grand final and saw the Broncos running away with it, thought I’m on holiday I’m not gunna sit in doors to watch them run away with it. Saw on my phone this morning that the Panthers made a come back and that Clearly won it for them. For fuck sake

I’d like to know how much City actually wanted Ronaldo or whether it was a ploy to draw United into signing him. Makes no sense from their perspective to actually be interested.

Lisbon is really nice and going straight to Albufeira feels like being in an episode of black mirror. The beach is great in Albufeira, if you stay out of the main town then things feel fine (i.e playing golf) but the town itself, the shops and restaurants catered to Brits Abroad, terrible.

One thing I will say is, a little over a year ago United were going through their worst (or one of) seasons in my lifetime and that forced a managerial change. There was massive cracks being papered over by OGS and his low point tallies in relation to league position that were revealed by the arrival of Ronaldo. Since then United have still kept the majority of the players who were around then and they’ve also suffered a lot of injuries this season. To top that off United were atrocious beginning of last season, good in the middle and then nearly fell off at the end coming close to giving Liverpool 4th. Until the squad is changed as a whole and a plan is followed, this pattern will just keep rearing its head. But with all of that said how they’re handling Sancho and also Greenwood is cause for concern. Would love to know how thats gone down in the dressing room.

The cultural difference between a few days in Lisbon and then finding yourself in the strip in Albufeira must be similar to the feeling of coming off heroin

@Devil-Dick Willie next time your bottleshop puts a BBQ on chuck a sausage at her head when shes not looking

Send her a message saying she could have at least sent you some Gusto instead

What is funny is that this “the media are out to get him” approach completely ignores the fact that near enough the entire professional comedy industry in the UK have stories about him, people who are not well known, have no profile and have no reason to “clip his wings for flying too close to the sun”. It is not a masterminded hoax, it is a collection of peoples lived experiences being made public.

Pretty horrible viewing and I hope there’s some sort of justice for the victims out there somewhere. But the reality is there won’t be hence going public. He’s going the Tate route of garnering an online following that will support him no matter what. Pathetic.

I think TAA must be the preferred option behind Bellingham. At least I hope so

Tbh I think there was a patience to Scholes’ games that Gerrard didn’t have. Technically he could do it all but much the same with Xabi Alonso, I don’t think Gerrard could do that position better.

Was a good interview, I think if anything it just highlights how different a player they were. You would group Scholes with a Xavi or a Pirlo, but I think it’s a remnant of how bad it was to support England back then, not just players competing against each other but fans too. I think we were also held back by rigid formations of the time, Scholes back with Carrick in a 2 man midfield with Gerrard ahead would have been unreal. Both players performed in the same formation eventually for United and Liverpool.

Glad to see Schade get a call up, he really has the tools to become a top level striker. To have his size and physique as well as his pace, he creates so many problems for defenders. His finishing needs to improve a but the signs I’ve seen are that he could become a really good goalscorer

Between his actions at Ajax and recently with Greenwood, you’d find it difficult to trust a man’s judgement like that.
