Utd conceded 11 in the group stage in the Treble season, when Bayern and Barcelona were in the same group. They did however manage to score 20 and remain unbeaten. This team were never going to manage that. This was a weak group, Bayern apart (although they never got out of arcing gear). No English team should have failed to qualify from It.
A player called Micah just scored his first goal for City. The censor might want to pay attention to the post-match interview...
They've even got some unknown squad player called Kalvin Phillips on the pitch. Who the **** is that?!
Rio Ferdinand is an idiot: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-67697400 I don't get how some people can be so insulated from the game that they played. It's like nobody's ever explained anything to him. He thinks that Utd winning things should make it better! ****ing hell.
I was "watching the game" ... https://www.not606.com/threads/a-reason-to-be-cheerful-nufc-vs-ac-milan.410087/page-15#post-17184230
Barcelona equalised in the 91st minute. They still lost! The youngster who scored the Belgian's opener is one to watch. Lots of clubs are scouting him. He's played a load of minutes for his age and is already capped for Belgium. His name is Arthur Vermeeren. A January move wouldn't be surprising.
Frankfurt had already qualified, so I assume they rested players. Liverpool did the same, so they'll be nice and rested for Sunday.
Jim Ratfink reportedly wants Graham Potter to replace ten Hag, as per the Mirror In related news, I understand that Man Utd fans use the word Moyes as a verb, as in "Graham Potter is going to Moyes it up so badly"
Captain Scarlet cleared of a misconduct charge for comments after Arsenal lost to Newcastle, as apparently the word "disgrace" has much milder connotations in Spanish than it does in English and he wasn't to know better. I hadn't realised this was a different Mikel Arteta to the one who has spent almost half his life working in the UK. I also can't see any other word or phrase in his post match comments that might sound like he is undermining the authority of the officials. I mean he only said: "I have to be here now to say it is not acceptable," "We didn't deserve to lose the match. We lose the match because of the clear and obvious decisions. It's embarrassing. A disgrace. That's what it is - a disgrace. I am wasting my time. We are wasting our time. I don't want to be in the hands of these people." "It's embarrassing what happened - how this goal stands, in the Premier League - this league we say is the best in the world. I've been 20 years in this country and now I feel ashamed. It's a disgrace and there's too much at stake here. "The outcome is nowhere near the level this league needs to have. It's not good enough. I feel embarrassed to be part of this." Nothing to see here. Jog on.
