They aren't in a terrible spot. Down 1 coming home isn't a situation that would kill them

imagine being Roma and getting so rattled by a small team from the arctic circle that you try to beat up the opposition coach. Totti is turning in his grave

I didn't see the game. Did this really happen?

Yeah, apparently. They had to involve the police and everything. Obviously Roma says Knutsen started it, but it doesn't really make sense that the winning manager is going around picking fights. There's a video of the incident, taken by someone connected with Roma, but I don't think it's public yet.

United hands a rare W to Lampard? Forget about the manager, those players should be ashamed of themselves.

Pretty sure United should be relegated after that

They should've brought in Conte when they had the chance. Whatever you think about him, he doesn't let overpaid players push him around. Exactly the kind of manager this club needed.

United losing to the Blue Scousers to deprive the Red Scousers of the joy of seeing them relegated. High IQ strat.

They should have hired Ralf Rangnick after they didn't hire Conte. At least give it the illusion that he has some kind of power to do something to these players. They are all playing for a guy who won't do jack shit to them over the summer. But United needed a full overhaul when Fergie left and instead they just had a rotating door of different managers with different philosophies about how to play instead of having some kind of consistency and youth development. They deserve to have massive expectations and fall drastically short

The club needs burning down and starting over. Hire some railway workers and have them play in green and gold, they won't be any more clueless.

The owners need to put a football guy in charge who has some balls to do what needs to be done to overhaul the team. The owners need to grow a pair and let him deal with the lumps at first and let him turn the club around instead of listening to retarded british people complain that United aren't winning right now

 

[Kerwin White]

Presumably that's what the deal was supposed to be with Rangnick's interim manager/consultancy/whatever role. Give them another ten goes at it, they might find the right man in time for the 2041/42 Aramco Men's European Super League.

Time for the annual "punish Southampton to amend recent form" fixture. How many 9-0's must they suffer? Maybe Chelsea will get 10? It's already 5-0 and we haven't even hit the hour mark

Its now 6

Also Arsenal performing their end of year collapse right on time

Lucky for Everton, the only club more pathetic than them came to town.

Graham Potter really seems to have Arsenal's number. We got a legendary Ty rant towards Neal Maupay when Brighton beat Arsenal in 2020.

 

[blahblahblah678]

And Brighton beats Arsenal by the same score line as the Ty rant I posted…

Moise Kean about to get subbed on for Juventus at Cagliari. Last time he was there, the Cagliari supporters made monkey noises every time he touched the ball, lol.

Unsurprising given that the flag of Sardinia literally has four lads in blackface on it.

It was really funny when Barella was waving it around after winning the Euros, since it looks like an English flag with the captured Moorish princes. Especially after the black Englishmen were the ones who missed or blew their penalties.

When I was a teenager I had a big affinity for Italy and Italian football. I lost it a bit due to Calciopoli and Italian football being boring for 15 years, but goddamn is it a based country.
