That's absolutely shocking. This is why retroactive punishment should be introduced. You absolutely cannot get away with that.
 
Big game tonight, both clubs need a win and have named strong teams, Mourinho apologises for the that car-wreck on Sunday in his program notes
 
Very happy that United managed to get back in shape and get the win against City tonight, even if it's only in a "small" cup game.

Very disapointed that Real didn't win more than 7-1. :P
 
Very good win that was badly needed, first half was pretty poor by both teams but United really stepped it up in the second half and a great team goal finished off by Mata, City didn't have a single shot on target and its now six without a win for them and Pep.

Elsewhere, West Ham picked up a great win by knocking out Chelsea 2-1, but the game was marred by clashes by supporters, Chelsea away fans tried to get into the home section of the stadium, seats and coins were thrown, and this was actually the first time that they had proper policing in that new ground too!, Southampton beat Sunderland 1-0 in the other cup game.

Celtic win 1-0 in top of the table clash with Aberdeen. 10 points clear with a game in hand. :D
 
I'm the kind of Person that likes competition, even when I support my team, sure a good couple of smashing years can be fun but when it's expected on every game It's like celebrating how you can beat a 4 year old in a running race.

I never expect to win. That's a terrible attitude to have in any sport.

I support my team, not exhibit special snowflake syndrome because they happen to be crushing it this year. You're a seriously odd fellow.

You know as much as I do that's a terrible lie, depending on the teams you play this changes.

If you lost to Barcelona by 3 Goals and some 3rd Division Scottish side by the same amount you would be significantly more dissppionted in the 2nd one becuase of expectations.

Quality of competition keeps it interesting that's why people tend to watch Premier league more then any other league by miles, because it has the most competitive back half of the league in the world making most of it up for grabs.

But don't take this as criticism this is just my opinion, I Respect your ability to support your team which ever way pleases you.

It's not a lie. There are teams you have a better chance of beating but doesn't mean I expect to win. I just think we have a better probability of getting the victory, not an expectancy to beat teams 'worse' than us.

Apologises, Burnley vs Watford doesn't exactly get me going. Regardless of the propaganda to make it sound exciting.

But compared to Ross County vs Dundee who would even watch that.

Has the league renegotiated a more favourable TV deal yet now that Rangers are back in the top flight, might go along way to mending the decline(Scotlands league will keep declining if another team other then Celtic doesn't start contributing coefficient in Europe as Aberdeen have been worse then useless in that regard even when given favourable draws).

Rangers are atrocious and offered nothing so far. They'll be lucky to still exist long enough to mount any sort of challenge.
 
United 0-0 Burnley full time, we had Herrera sent off and Jose sent to the stands and so many chances but we could put them away, so frustrated!

To be fair they haven't played in Europe yet and don't have that money to add to there income yet.

Next Season if Rangers get a Europa Spot they will have to start from the 1st qualifying phase simply due to how low Scotlands rank is in Europe right now, if they make the group Stage with Celtic doing the same in Champions league then the 2nd Champions league spot will get closer with the winner of the league getting the Automatic Group stage spot which they had before Rangers ate them selves in debt.

How it is now Celtic can struggle to make the group Stage which happened last season as you have to play several games just before you can make it.

I know the feeling. In the Welsh league TNS have a 100% record and a goal difference of +41 already. Yawn.

However, my team Connah's Quay Nomads are also undefeated (W6 D6) and they play each other this evening. Have to be honest though, I think they'll be dancing in the streets of Total Network Solutions. They're just too good.

Oh definitely but if you think they have any chance of even making it past the first qualifying stage, you really don't understand just how God awful they are. If we're a nothing in the European front, just imagine how bad they would be.
 
Everton just beat West Ham 2-0 with goals from Lukaku and Barkley, West Ham were better in the first half but Everton stepped it up in the second, the defending for both goals was crap.

Southampton v Chelsea next...

Frank De Boer is proving quite unpopular at Inter already by supposedly falling out with Brozovic and Perisic and sitting in 9th. Plus, losing two games in their group of the Europa.

Possibility of a sacking by January?

And he's gone.....

They did. We lost 3-0. 15 point gap between 1st and 2nd? Title race is pretty much over already...
 
Mourinho has been charged by the FA for the second time in a week, almost certain he will get a touchline/stadium ban now.
