There's far, far, far worse owners than Reynolds and McElheney - far, far worse - but I instinctively bridle at bought success. I'm torn a bit on it as they seem genuine guys, but if I supported a competing team I'd love to beat them.Quote:

Real Madrid players a disgrace. Such a dislikable bunch.
Rudiger should be hammered for that. Can't go about chucking stuff at the ref

Fits in with the huge marketing of both English male and female teams they are all presented as likeable down to earth likeable kid next door when in many cases their behaviour reflects differentlyQuote:

Inter 0 Roma 1, throwing the title away.
Man utd are beyond a joke. Cannot see them winning another league game this season
Conceded within 10/15 seconds of their own free kick
Hard to see how the manager can turn this around given the lack of improvement in any singular metric or player
Still playing a system the players look uneasy with, some of these players have went backwards at an alarming rate under him, they weren't great under Ten Hag but you could see they were a better team under him.Quote:

They had a team full of Scots, which was another reason I would have wanted them to do well.
That's a nonsense of a red card for Bournemouth.

Great effort from Bournemouth . I can’t help feeling they were robbed to a degree.
Hibs couldn’t manage it but Roma have, beating Inter in Milan…now 18 league games unbeaten. Daje Roma!
Roma have been in title winning form for months. Outstanding.Quote:

Inter have been shockingly bad in their last 3 games.
1-0 City, Lewis.
1-0 Spurs

Honestly can't stand the guy, think he's a top-tier throbber. But he did a good job at Celtic and has won stuff at every club he's managed.Quote:

Oft! What a goal, Rivaldo-esqueQuote:

i read the council have agreed to sell the club the required land for extending the stadium
Nice watching a game without the relentless noise of a drum 😃
wee willy gnonto 2-0
fantastic pass from Piroe
Really good ball played to gnonto
interesting that Exeter city will get a few £££ for Leeds getting promoted, they sold Ethan Ampadu to Chelsea in 2017 and got a fee when he moved to Leeds, they will continue to get a payment from any transfer fee on him and it only stops when he gets a free transfer
3-0
nice seeing Chris Hogg again
yas 4-0
Eddie Gray belting out Marching on Together :)
Great player, just a pity present day edition of the Gray's will play for England,Quote:

Deficit of £61m, football today, unbelievable 🙄Quote:

Its a brutal league now, but nice to see Leeds where they deserve, even if it probably means I will never get another ticket to see them in it.Quote:

Even this season when you see who the clubs are just outside the relegation zone are in West Ham , Spurs , Everton and Man U who I think will all improve in the summer and then you have clubs like Bournemouth, Brighton etc that’s build good squads over the last few years it really is like mission impossible for any promoted club …Quote:

Watched leeds again last night and some of the football they play is incredible. I don't think I would change it that much going into the premier league maybe just add better quality/experience throughout the team.
Feels like a lose lose for promoted teams at the moment. Stick to your principals/park the bus, either way you're probably going down unless you catch a wolves, west ham, Brentford after tough summer for them.
They’ll need a new keeper. Meslier looked a great prospect a few years ago but he’s been very poor this season. They’ll also need a striker. Piroe won’t be good enough at EPL.Quote:

The game tonight on paper looks a cracker and certainly looks like one there will be goals in…
That’s it jinxed now probably 😂
Yeah it's very concerning if they go another season of the same 3 going straight back down. Completely agree about Messlier, they might not have went up if they hadn't dropped him. Strikers who can score 15/20 to give them a chance are hard to come by.Quote:

Yup. McCoist is embarrassing whenever he's on, decades old patterQuote:

I mean, Raheem Sterling. Come on.

Don’t think the ref has been that bad. Worse decision was the non pen on Kharatskelia. Arsenal shout never a pen
Var gives offside. Goal chalked off. Arsenal caught out by their over orchestrated tactics at the free kick.Quote:
