    Can’t wait to watch my team get battered by Brighton Albion tonight yay.


    This window is an utter shambles for United, how Woodward is still in a job confuses me daily... also can’t wait to sign Dan James 2.0 instead of Sancho.


    I mean just look at the wage structure of our three goalkeepers... Romero on 100k+ p/w De Gea 300k+ p/w and now Henderson on 100+ p/w that’s over half a million per week on three keepers lol the defence as well as other positions is even worse, it’s a disgrace. Bloody Phil Jones and his pink boots.

    We've made some big and impressive signings, but I wouldnt say many of them were smart if we wanted to win the league this season. Werner and Havertz are gonna be great but we already had players excelling in their position. Tammy started off last season on fire and Giroud was very solid after the restart. And Mount... I can go on about how much I rate him forever, it was actually disgusting the amount of Chelsea fans turning on him in the last few weeks. Great performance against West Brom, I never doubted him losing his minutes to Havertz this season.

    We also got Pulisic, Ziyech and Chilwell who will come back from injury and Mendy settling in to the new club so the line up should look stronger in the upcoming weeks.

    Fantastic day today for football fans :


    Manchester City 2-5 Leicester (Jamie Vardy scored twice and even though City striked first they were hopeless, the foxes were too strong this time and it looks like Liverpool will lift the Preamier League again, I know it's early but that's my take)
    Hoffenheim 4-1 Bayern Munchen (nothing to say here, Bayern was owned so hard, believe me they were lucky it was only 4-1)
    As Roma 2-2 Juventus (Ronaldo scored both goals with Roma chocking after leading 2-1 and Juventus was playaing in 10 after Rabiot was sent off. Dzeko missed two unreal chances that would close the game at 3-1)
    Barcelona 4-0 Villarreal (Messi scored once from penalty kick and the youngster Fati twice)
    Atletico Madrid 6-1 Granada (Luis Suarez came in as a sub with 20 minutes left and managed to score twice)
    Reims 0-2 PSG (Mauro Icardi scored both goals and both assists came from Mbappe)
    Crotone - Ac Milan 0-2 (Milan looking good this season, the defender that came this year from Real Madrid as a loan, Brahim Diaz scored the 2nd goal)
    Napoli 6-0 Genoa (great win from Gattuso's team I was surprised to see him as a manager playing so offensive starting with Lozano(that scored 2 goals), Mertens, Insigne and Osimhen upront.
    And thread's favourite Leeds won away at Sheffield Utd with Bamford scoring in the 88th minute.

    Great first match last night for Inter in Serie A. I hope they can win the tittle this year.
    Ribery with two amazing assists at 37 years old is just wow.
    New signings from Inter, Kolarov started in the 1st eleven while Hakimi and Vidal came in as subs.




    Another great game was Real Madrid win in Sevilla against Betis. I was so hyped to see Jovic starting but so sad to see that he didn't score. That guy is a beast of a striker. I don't know what's up with Real Madrid and talented players when they sign with them and is just like they're completely different. I can name a lot of players that were on top of their careers and when they joined Real all went downhill from there.

    Bayern defeated Sevilla 2-1 today after Lucas Ocampos scored first for the spanish team from penalty kick 13 minutes after the start and Goretzka equalised 20 minutes later. After 90 minutes of play the score was 1-1 and the game went into extra time where Javi Martinez scored(104') to complete a quadruple this year for Bayern Munchen.

    Also it was the first European game played with fans in the stands since the Covid-19 pandemic. There were around 3.000 fans

    Yep, Thiago has pretty much changed the dynamic of how I viewed Liverpool going this season. He's gonna be huge.

    f---ing Lindelof absolute disgrace of a performance, and wtf was going on with the referee? He has always hated United that penalty was NOT a penalty and the retake decision was also a disgrace.

    The number one issue is centre back it’s always been that, Sancho is not a must buy, a cb is. Our central midfield issue is number 2, absolutely nothing was flowing yesterday... the players looked nowhere near match fit.

    Here there are the results from today's champions league qualifiers
    Two shockers in my opinion Midtjylland beating Young Boys but it seems that they continue the great run from last year when they won the Danish League in front of Fc Copenhaga and Omonia Nicosia beating Red Star Belgrade.
    Nice surprise from the hungarian team that has won 31 leagues and after eliminating Celtic in the previous round they qualified against Dinamo Zagreb.

    [​IMG]

    So here are the play off games, that will be played on 22.09 and 29.09 in two legs. Every team that manages to qualify out of these matches goes straight in the groups.

    Everton will be a serious threat this season. James was bossing the midfield in the game against Spurs. Really excited to see how far Everton can go this season.

    That French clasico went nuts and out of hand. 5 red cards in the 96th minute after a brawl broke out. Neymar got sent off as he was seen having verbal clashes throughout the game with Marseilles's defender Alvaro for calling him a monkey. The cameras caught Neymar calling him racist more than ones, till he Punched him in the back of his head during the brawl. Crazy ending.

    Oh yeah whoops, darn I was hoping for the draw but Leeds did exceptionally well in their first game back. A lot to build on here, though El Loco will probably cry hugging his video tapes with all the fouls they gave away in the box.

    My dad was a Real Madrid fan since the 80s, Hugo Sanchez practically secured an entire generation of Mexican Madridistas in the 80s. My youth team coach was also a Real fan, he sometimes used to host barbecues and since he had ppv we used to watch them, the only other way we'd figure out European football scores was through Sunday morning sports segments on this wacky old Spanish show lol. 99/00 season was something else, that was the one that I still vividly remember the most since Depor won that one (they were something else with Fran, Makaay, Djalminha, Mauro Silva, etc.) and Barca's dumbasses choked in the final stretch after they dominated the 1st half of the season. That maniac Jesus Gil's reign of terror at Atletico reached it's lowest point when they got relegated and lost the Copa Del Rey final to Espanyol (RIP). Our league campaign...was a mess lmao, we were bottom 3 in November and then Del Bosque was hired and managed to salvage something, barely, we used to win one week and get trashed the next matchday, it was seriously wild. We finished 5th that season, if it wasn't for Raul, McManaman, Redondo & Roberto Carlos going berserk in the UCL we wouldn't have qualified at all!

    I do wish La Liga reverts to how competitive that season was, Depor was a genuine threat, Zaragoza had a strong squad with that Paraguayan demon Acuna, Cuper's Valencia was the OG Simeone Atletico, freaking Alaves went to the UEFA Cup final...That was before Perez did his Galatico's and Barca was still wearing sponsor-less shirts.
