One of them games that could become a thrashing, especially if they score in 30 seconds again.
 
No idea what to expect mate, every day since the Brighton game I've heard and read so much toxic stuff, we all have to back the team.

Spurs do have a horrific away record against the rest of the big six, they haven't won at Old Trafford since 2014.

Yes, but knowing this era's United, a thrashing is coming. And records are meant to be broken...
 
Jose Mourinho has wielded the axe after the defeat at Brighton. Mata, Martial and Pereira were all substituted during the 3-2 defeat and they have all been left out of the squad to play Tottenham. Matic is back but it looks like he could play in a back three with Jones and Smalling. Six changes in total.

He'll be behind Nick Daws and Kevin Nolan down the job club but surely it's only a matter of time?

24th August - Nick Daws (Scunthorpe United, sacked) League One
26th August - Kevin Nolan (Notts County, sacked) League Two

Sacked - 2
Resigned - 1

Total - 3

After 913 days.

Also Ronaldo (the old, fat, Brazilian one) looks set to become majority shareholder of Real Valladolid. Link

Not a huge amount that is newsworthy from the League cup stuff tonight, two PL teams out in Cardiff and Brighton, Cardiff lost 3-1 at home to Norwich and Brighton lost out in the only all PL clash to Southampton 1-0, some big wins for Leicester and Derby both winning 4-0, West Ham eventually beat a Wimbledon side that were down to 10 men since the 15th minute 1-3. And as mentioned Saido Berahino scored his first goal in two and a half years. Apart from that not a lot else.

Looks like Jamie Vardy and Gary Cahill are set to retire from International duty with England after both asked not to be selected for the squad for the upcoming games.
 
Champions League group stage draw is tomorrow, this years CL thread hasn't been set up.
 
For the first time since 2010 we have 2 Dutch teams in the Champions League. This is also the first year that the Dutch champion has to qualify for the group stage.
 
Champions League 2018-19 draw

  1. Group A: Atletico Madrid, Dortmund, Monaco, Club Brugge
  2. Group B: Barcelona, TOTTENHAM, PSV, Inter Milan
  3. Group C: PSG, Napoli, LIVERPOOL, Red Star Belgrade
  4. Group D: Lokomotiv Moscow, Porto, Schalke, Galatasararay
  5. Group E: Bayern Munich, Benfica, Ajax, AEK Athens
  6. Group F: MAN CITY, Shakhtar, Lyon, Hoffenheim
  7. Group G: Real Madrid, Roma, CSKA Moscow, Plzen
  8. Group H: Juventus, MAN UTD, Valencia, Young Boys

Group B looks very tasty, as does Group H...

Man City have a pretty easy draw, and Liverpool will probably be quite happy

Not sure what genius decided to put Mo Salah directly in front of Sergio Ramos in the crowd :ouch:

At this moment I cant see United getting out of that group...
 
That's it for PSV in the Champions League. They will be fighting for p3. Ajax does seem to have a chance at p2 though.
 
I know Celtic were disappointed to lose to AEK Athens in the Champions League, but there's no need for insults...

Oh is that what's happening? Not some useless 3-0 vs team placed 120th in the world and a draw against Brazil.....
 
Ugh, I can understand Mignolet's frustration. I've failed to understand for a good while now why they won't let him play or put him on loan. The guy just wants to play.
 
Full times.

Leicester 1-2 Liverpool
West Ham 0-1 Wolves
Chelsea 2-0 Bournemouth
Brighton 2-2 Fulham
Crystal Palace 0-2 Southampton
Everton 1-1 Huddersfield

Wolves winner came right at the death from Traore, West Ham yet to pick up a point this season, Fulham were 0-2 up, Alisson made a howler in the Liverpool game.

Man City-Newcastle in a bit.
 
Cardiff-Arsenal is currently 1-1, Watford-Tottenham and Burnley-United is a bit later.

Watford-Tottenham is the TV game and not Burnley-United like I said.

Honestly relieved that the United game isn't on TV!
 
United are 2-0 up, and Rashford goes and gets himself sent off for a stupid action. Good job.
