Premier League 2020-21

Presumably the PL did this to punish them.

Mourinho to Roma. Under going back to Roma.

Can't see those two getting on. If fact, I expect Under's agent is frantically trying to get his man a move back to Turkey.

Maybe the video assistant referee needs some kind of video assistant

What I don't like is very very rarely does VAR go against the referees decision and vice versa.
If VAR isn't going to overall the Ref then what's the point in VAR other than making someone's armpit hair offside.

I'm sure that it's been mentioned somewhere, but after last night's match Man Utd now have three PL games in the space of five days (or four games in eight days), with us in the middle. No way that they can put a full strength team out for all three games now. Will be interesting to see how they prioritise our game and the Liverpool game.

I believe they will put out their strongest team against Liverpool, to try to deny their deadly rivals a place in next season's champion's league, and a weakened team against us... for the same reason.

Let’s hope

I like your thinking. I think long time rivalry would be on someone's list of motivations, hopefully OGS's. At the very least, to not lose to Liverpool.

Ole has his say

Man Utd boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says 'not my issue' if he distorts Champions League race

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says it is "not my problem" if he distorts the battle for Champions League places by fielding under-strength teams.

They need 4 points from 5 games for CL football. Be really interesting to see the lineup for Sunday as there is no way they will want to drop points against Liverpool.

 

[mabrah]

Jeez, in fairness, I wouldn't want to be OGS (well, I would, for the money, but you know what I mean) That's tough choices needed, I don't know how you'd balance it, prioritise it. No sympathies mind, not like I give a shit about ManU, particularly not right now, but nonetheless. Who do you rest and when? Aim for full strength against Liverpool? Get the points in the bag v Villa? And what of maybe influencing those CL spots? Nah, I don't envy him that balancing act.

 

[Payne74]

And he looks like Gollum...

True. Good point. Hadn't considered that.

Used to quite like him despite him being Manyoo

Nice one Leeds, you horrible bastards

 

[Joe_Fox]

Just watched ten minutes of the Leeds spurs game. Leeds look magnificent.

 

[Jeff]

Leeds 3-1 up

 

[FryattFox]

Leeds now 3-1 up against Spurs.

Urgh, get a life.
