Their next 9 games are absolutely brutal, with Sunderland at home being their only real hope of being expected to get 3 points

I recently viewed a post of the 25 Best Academies in the world. We were fifth with them third. The clown noted three of our recent graduates to just one from the rags - who incidentally struggles to get into their team whereas Foden is a regular and Palmer netted us a nice sum of money. If the idiot took off the red glasses he would have not only reversed the rankings but pushed the rags further down the list.

Aye, people judge these things by how many get into your team, ignoring the fact that it's much easier for Southampton or the rags (these days) to produce players capable of starting for them. That's what makes La Masia so special. They consistently produce players that are good enough to start in a team that challenges for titles. The rags managed it once, and their academy has been riding that wave ever since while producing average talents like Mainoo and Rashford.

There’s an Academy in Manchester that isn’t doing too badly.

Two starters and five on the bench yesterday.

I thought he was shocking. Just out of his depth. An ok left-back, a below-average left-sided centre-back.

It was hilarious watching him stumbling in Erling's wake for the second then tripping over his keeper and falling on his face. He is the fifth longest serving player of all in the Prem for one club. He has obviously made a fortune at the rags but I bet he wishes he had signed for City.
 
1 win in four for the raggies and out of the league cup to Grimsby. They’ve spent over £200 million this summer and there has been no improvement from where they were last season. They’ve only been able to get a fee for Lurch from Chelsea whilst they have Rashford, Sancho and Hoijland shipped out on loan.

They bring another manager in they then have to start the cycle again of moving on the patchwork quilt of players from the Solksjar, Ten Haag and soon to be Amorim terms in charge. It’s bloody fantastic stuff.

Sunderland have looked decent and well organised I fully expect them to pick up at least a point there. That could be Amor no wins final game imo

Yeah, when we did the Treble it was UNACCEPTABLE for them to allow us to do it, entitled tosser, like all in that rancid shambles of an organisation!
