You'd have fucking thought so. Sounds like it was an absolute snooze fest punctuated by that other twat firing miles off target once every ten mins. Probably fortunate to get more than point but obviously reported like it's may 99 all over again.

Thought he was an Ipswich or Peterborough fan, apparently shit himself at the Ethiad when a fan came looking for him in the Press box after he called the City fans grubby somethings.Of the numerous City haters he's one of the worst.Had we gone after one of these wankers in the early days it could have put a stop to it, Liverpool got a journalist sacked which I don't condone but like the majority of City fans I am sick to the back teeth of these negative lies.

Colin Mafham wrote an opinion piece referencing Heysel and Hillsborough and was essentially hounded out of his job.

Sunday Express sports writer fired over Liverpool FC opinion piece vows to continue fighting 'gag on freedom of speech'

A Sunday Express sports correspondent who was fired after criticising Liverpool FC fans in an online comment piece has vowed to continue fighting his dismissal, which he said was a “gag on freedom of speech”. Colin Mafham, who has worked as a journalist for 50 years, accused Express Newspapers...

He filed an unfair dismissal claim which was due to go to tribunal, but Reach PLC offered him a substantial settlement before the hearing and he accepted it and the case was never heard.

It would have been interesting to hear the evidence in this case as to how Reach PLC arrived at the decision to sack Mafham in the first place, but I guess we'll never know.

It was an Athletic investigation that led to the emails being released.

It was a freedom of information request.

Not “finding leaked documents”.

And having just read it im pretty sure it takes more than 3 days to write, so pretty unlikely it’s a reaction to United losing.

Marcus Rashford kept up his record of scoring in every game since the World Cup against big spending Brentford at a raucous, almost sold out OT last night*

Yep. Failed to score in the games against Palace, Liverpool, Southampton & Newcastle in the PL, Reading, West Ham & Fulham in the FA Cup and in the home LC semi final against Forest.

Is Marcus Rashford the most in-form player in Europe? Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag assesses 21-goal forward | Goal.com UK

Erik ten Hag is delighted with Marcus Rashford’s performances at Manchester United, admitting that he is one of the most in-form players in Europe.

He's 16th in the list, how that makes sit findus the most in form striker eludes me.

You’d thank Haaland banging 5 goals in a champions league game and then a hat trick in the game after that would mean something. Not like he’s breaking records at the moment.

Read it again carefully.

Technically he has scored in every game he's played against Brentford since the World Cup.
