After they win tomorrow against a team that has spent 2 million combined in the last 4 years (net cost 0), who finished 3rd in the Europe League group last season without winning a game and currently sitting 4th in their league after losing 2 of the last 3 we know that the media will:

Not mention money, transfer costs of both teams or wages ie Ronaldo earns more in a week than the entire other team
Go over the top of the Rags performance and "insert name here" is world class
Bring up Messi v Ronaldo stats if he starts and scores against these minnows

Given Ten Hag didn't bring Ronaldo on because he didn't want such an egotist to suffer humiliation on Sunday - do you think he will embarrass him by selecting him to play against this pub reserve side?

Defensive genius Neville presents his plan … ‘How to stop Haaland’

The solution was mentioned during our match tonight "Take Haaland off"

Unfortunately they'll never be able to lift his hammer.

Looks like Ten Hag appreciates us:

"Now we get a reality check with Manchester City, we know we have to step up," he said.
"So thank you for the lesson, Pep and City, we will take that and we have to understand we have to do things much better."

Didn't take long to turn into David Moyes.

Tonight smells like a super fixture against crack European opponents

Bit close to Greece for slab head there, let's hope there's no Armenian mafia waiting for him. I still remember that snidey interview he did well, claiming he was beaten up and his legs whacked repeatedly, all the while sat there in a pair of shorts with not a bruise or red mark showing.

Whatever happens tonight is great for us. Win and they'll paper over the cracks and call it heroic, anything else and it's zebra pants on and tantrum time.

Must admit I've not heard of that team if I'm honest and I got a feeling Omonia Nicosia haven't heard of them either.

Idly waiting for the sports on breakfast, imagine my surprise that they had a full 5 minutes on Tom Kerridge's campaign to have free school meals available for all. Worthy stuff but just had to include the obligatory rashford making food with kids. As of 08.50 I hadn't seen miniature mike gurning over last night's results.

Should be a close one tonight. United and Ammonia are well matched, both pungent, toxic, detrimental to the brain, highly irritating and dissolve away quite easily!

Great chance tonight for Ten Rag to blood his fringe players like erm PR37, Easter Island,Casemiro and Fred.

Looking at the Groups in this year's Europa it must be the weakest collection of clubs ever in the competition. EUFA must be hoping a few names drop out of the CL to improve the quality.

How much would you pay to have a journalist ask GPC “Do you ever envision a time when Man Utd will go into a game against Man City as favourites”

It's a joke competition for also-rans.
