    What a clown show.

    For those who missed...





    Amusing though. Atlético would've been a tough matchup for Bayern.

    So only 1 out of 6 scheduled games for today played in the EPL due to COVID. One is canceled for tomorrow. There is a meeting amongst the teams on Monday to discuss what to do. I have a feeling they will agree to take a break for the rest of December.

    Not so crazy about the Ragnick era so far. Haven't scored more than 1 goal in any of them and that includes Crystal Palace, Norwich, Young Boys, and barely squeaking out an undeserved point against Newcastle. It looks an awful lot like the OGS era. McFred doing nothing in the midfield. Maguire continuing to play so incredibly poorly that it's laughable. No offensive continuity and an inability to make a final pass. How have they taken nearly 100 corners this season and not scored on one? They had 16 days off. I realize they couldn't have a full squad for most of that but it should've been more than enough time to insert and work on whatever it is Ragnick is trying to do.

    Incredibly frustrating when we had a month full of bottom feeders and can't make up any ground.

    Finally United looked like United, at least in the 2nd half.

    Giving up WAY WAY WAY too many shots. A slightly better team is up 3-0 in the first half. Antonio and Bowen aren't going to miss those on Saturday.

    We actually have this fn international break now, I just found out. Ruins the whole weekend. At least UEFA spares us from more pointless friendlies.

    Well that is shocking, let's see if he gets help and learns from it - clearly he has issues.........people always give 2nd chances......

    Good thing we have Sancho and Rashford......Greenwood is done.....for quite some time....

    And that is terrible what he did to his girlfriend....whom is quite beautiful.
