brentford up next. a tough run of fixtures and then head-to-head against spurs ... in this form we could be out of both cups and in 5th in a few weeks.

i just heard a stat that we have won 12 points in 9 games/27 points.
I think Everton is a trap, too. Sean Dyche squeezes points out of games his squads have no business getting anything from.

There's still A LOT of uninitiated watchers in America. There's a lot of story lines in the PL that are understood, or are moot points to those who follow the game.
I don't think its about trust per se, just a difference in style. There's an American (sports) journalism school of thought that says you should "assume much of the audience is watching for the first time ever".

Its a country of 300+ million people and most of them aren't soccer fans.
As American that just got into it 4 going on 5 years ago, European football is a lot to digest. You have to give the average American sports fan a reason of why it’s important. CL spots don’t translate that easily

We get Casemiro bag in 2 matches, still have him in EL…sevilla been dog crap in La liga, not worried about them. Eriksen should be back soon as well. Hopefully Martial stays fit so WW is binned
But United should open the cheque book for Osimhen, they badly need a striker
I’m a Naija guy but I’d honestly prefer he stays at Napoli one more season. Refine his game some more and run down his contract (he’d have one more left). Could probably get him for like £85M.

United need to upgrade that midfield. Raid Barca for FDJ and Kessie.
