    Leicester should try and make the game on Sunday fast paced.
    Big advantage for them if they can push the temperature up.

    You would never guess that Savage is a red would you, almost as bad as McManaman on Liverpool what is it with BT sport and non impartial pundits, I mean we always get Hoddle or Jenas who are equally awful.

    Same VAR official from our Milan game, bizarrely. Marco Fritz of Germany.

    How did the ref not call the foul on Rashford by Kounde?

    Because he didn't want to give the handball in the other box just prior to that.
    Not the Fred one, the other one.

    Lemina gets a red card, but I'm sure a small fine will work here.
    They're charging clubs repeatedly every week and it's not stopping it.

    Oh look, Jim Ratcliffe is pretending he's planning to buy Man Utd again

    I'm sure this isn't connected

    Arteta whines and Lee Mason gets sacked

    ...why yes, the replies are riddled with bitter Runners. How did you guess?

    Very sad news! RIP <rose>
    Seemed like a really good guy, setting up and funding various societal charities in Ghana. Put his fame & wealth to good purpose.

    It was only a soft deadline so if you let the Glazers know you’re good for £6bn, they’ll be all ears.

    The Qataris have indicated an intention to bid as expected. As much as Utd fans will be glad to see the back of the Glazers, many recognise that this isn’t necessarily good news. We’ve seen how super rich owners at the likes of Chelsea and City have damaged the healthy competition which used to exist in the game. The elitism they have created has not been good for the game overall. And it’s getting worse. The proposed European Super League won’t go away either.

    So if the Qataris get hold of Utd, what will happen? Utd have remained competitive financially despite being weighed down with the Glazer debt and a lack of success on the pitch. With the debt removed and lots of cash available, what monster will be created? If they monetise it as they surely will, the monster will dwarf any other sporting franchise in the world. What then for any competition? Utd reportedly have 1.4 billion fans worldwide. The financial potential is huge.

    When you play Monopoly and one player owns most of the properties on the board with hotels on. you agree to end the game and declare the winner. There is no point playing on when the best you can hope for is that you dodge landing on their properties. It’s no fun at all just delaying the inevitable.

    As a Utd fan, I don’t want to reach a point where we win everything because we have financial nuclear capability. Competition, rivalry, uncertainty about the result are the factors which make sport compelling. Victory is always sweeter when it comes after disappointment. Football is best when every game is a contest and there are more than one or two teams likely to win at the end of it all. Being handed success easily because you’ve got the most cash loses its appeal very quickly.
