    Can we null and void the remainder of the season from last Friday onwards?

    Pep Guardiola is a savage. Gives the champions a guard of honour then slaps 3 goals past them in the first half.

    Apparently Pogba and Fernandes both injured each other during training, not sure if there was an altercation or whatever.

    Yeah it's not exactly great timing for it, but then again there never really is a great time. Hopefully they both recover before Europa League starts again at least, or sooner with a bit of luck.

    I wasn't able to watch the match but I was following the score. At the third goal I said out loud to myself "man, they are pissed"

    I love the quotes from Klopp today though:

    "How to deal with becoming champions on Thursday night and then playing one of the best teams in the world a week later? I don't think there's a book to read. They had nothing to lose, we had nothing to win"

    "I was not in too good a mood after the game nor when I woke up. But I was in a good mood when I got to Melwood today because this is where we change things"

    Paper talk got it wrong again!

    Euro 2021 starting forwards should be Saka-Greenwood-Sancho and I won't hear otherwise

    Apparently this is the source https://socceronsunday.com/article/p...ing-collision/

    “That’s me fucked,” the Norwegian told Soccer on Sunday. “Credit to Ed Woodward, he pre-sacked me this morning ahead of the games we’re about to lose. It’s nice to have that certainty that I won’t be here soon.

    Great attacking game from United, but that defence is questionable. Need to bring in a pacier centre back to pair with Maguire or Lindelof on rotation, and recall Henderson off loan to threaten De Gea.

    But good lord what a front 4 we have.

    Ye Maguire really needs to stop making so many errors. Not sure what's going on with him lately.

    But the attack is insane this half of the season. Read today that Greenwood, Martial and Rashford have scored more goals than Salah, Mane och Firminho in all competitions. Really didn't see that coming!

    This is exactly the sort of shit that allowed Leicester to win the League once. And if Liverpool and Man City just played the game, fucking oath this year it would have been won by Leicester again or another outlander like Wolves or Sheff Utd. Oath.

    You lost me there.

    Also, solid bounce back by Leicester today to maintain their lead over us, goal difference and all.

    Oath just means like "Absolutely" or "serious". Kinda like how you use "I swear" in the UK I guess?

    I was a bit worried I was going to "dislike" watching football without a crowd, but tbh I've gotten used to it. Glad it's back

    This is a terrible attempt at banter, I expect better from someone who's been around here as long as you.

    I honestly don't mind them. And I can't turn them off here anyway, we don't have the "red button" option here to turn them off.
