Inter with the early stumble….Inzaghi, last year was your year hate to tell you

Osimhen staying healthy and bringing the Scudetto back to Naples

You may be right. Haven't been keeping up with them but they played a high energy, fast paced attacking football that most teams struggled to cope with last season. They might have just had a slow start to the season. Was Kostic that integral to their game?


As far as Sevilla, solid defensive team that's hard to beat especially in cup competitions Vs bottling extraordinaires Dortmund without Haaland and his replacement

Kostic was huge for them, especially in big games. Iirc he scored in their SF win at the Camp Nou

Sevilla’s level is Europa imo…they’ll find a way to mess this up.

Arsenal's unbeaten run likely to continue today when they face bum ass Fulham. Have they faced anybody meaningful yet?

Looks like we are going to have to bring these nikkaz back to reality next week.

They really believe something special is happening at Arsenal this season

Leicester finally caved.

Imagine if we had paid 75 million for Fofana. We will not hear the end of it from the media and rival fans.

Ten Hag: "I think it doesn't mean when you are captain you are established to play always, especially when you also have [Raphaël] Varane in your squad."

Seems like ETH has a personality disorder, which might actually help do a good job.

He might be one of those high functionining autistic savants.

The way he uses language is very smart. In the above quote he expresses it as if he was not the one making the decision. As if he has no agency.

That sidesteps the issue with the press and does not set the player up against ETH in the minds of observers.

He speaks as if it is a natural law of the universe.

He also lies straight to journos without blinking. without GAF ... and seemlingly doesn't care whether the believe him or not.

That is good use of press conference protocol, where he knows joutnos are not going to straight out call him a liar.

All good attributes for the challenge ahead.

I used to work with a guy like that. He literally didn't care what anyone else thought about him.

Same starting 11 as last game.

No Casemiro.

Im hoping this is because they want to give Scott one last taste of what it means to a PL starter for Man United.
