Bugger.

Mainoo looking out of his depth against these.

I always think ex-united players/managers, when they play against united, are paralysed by the mythology, the "this is manchester united, we're talking about" mentality.

Shit

Madrid are a team built for the CL. They really don't have to worry about their domestic league, they'll qualify for the CL every season as a minimum. Look at the break they had before our game and they still couldn't beat us. Meanwhile we, and English clubs in general, have an attritional and...

I hope, if they draw an English club, we allow them to use our facilities before the away leg.

We looked like we'd hit a brick wall but no one could ever doubt the effort the team put in. To have the mental fortitude to haul themselves through that is quite stunning.

Pretty sanguine. You can't win everything all the time and we've done better than I expected this season. The loss of Gundogan, Mahrez, and KDB for the most part, was always going to adversely affect us. In effect, we are a team in transition needing all our established players to reach the...

As one who fell for it, I'm not either but, in this instance, it illustrates a very valid and serious point.

Hook line and sinker then. Mind you my comments apply to any investigation.

Interesting. "The Club] has consistently pushed back on the PL’s requests. For example, [the Club] initially provided disclosure only in PDF format, without metadata; [the Club] provided “load files” but no “parent / child relationships” were identified between documents, which [the Club]...
