I'd heard about this and was curious to give it a watch. I figure the defenders will do better, particularly since Seedorf, Yaya Toure and Pirlo are more well-rounded. I'll check it out later.
I saw this from it earlier

But what about that Madrid match yesterday? And people are saying modern football is boring

It's 2024, he'll probably get cancelled before he's sacked.
In other news, Germany women are smashing England women so far.
Edit - From 3-0 in the first half to 3-2 before HT... Should've been 3-3 if Toone could hit the target. I was gonna watch the Forest game but this is actually entertaining.

Liverpool getting the advantage everytime? Standard.
Jesus kicked it against Tsimikas at the end, Stevie Wonder seen it hit the Liverpool player but yet... Goal kick.

Yes the results weren't great lately but this is another 2-3 years down the line, players not playing to their potential and the manager getting sacked. Jose, Ole, ETH ... Rinse and repeat.
Rumour has it that Xavi is being lined up. No doubt it'll be "Man Utd is back" like it was when ETH arrived and then the same "fans" will bexome poisonous towards him when things turn sour, which for the past 10 years, they've done almost to a schedule.

Looks good on paper but so did ETH. Netherlands league & Portuguese league successes don't necessarily transfer to the EPL.

We'll just have to see how it plays out I guess. I saw another report saying they're talking to Nagelsmann, who could also be a great call. At this point I figure he would want to take Germany through the World Cup but maybe he could be tempted. Who do you want them to go for?

I'm not sure. But throwing Amorim into the hardest job in football when he's not managed a big club which has players with big egos... I fear we may be in the same situation in 2 years.
Perhaps Zidane, he's respected as a world great footballer and has managed egos at Real Madrid, a club as big as Man Utd. Plus, he has a winners attitude.

Agreed. They've been poor for a few games now and rode their luck (until today).

Tamworth beating Huddersfield is classed as a ‘giant killing’ whereas Bristol being close to Weston makes fuck all point other than they are close to each other.
Today is Sutton v Birmingham City. If Sutton beat them, it’ll be Suttons FA Cup Final.
Just wait till third round early January when they’ll pick both Manchester clubs, Liverpool and Arsenal regardless who they play.
Looking it up, Bristol Rovers and Huddersfield are in the same division but Weston are lower than Tamworth so it would have been better to show that surely then? even had the relevance of a local derby like the Northampton Kettering game that was televised. An all non league clash went to pens after finishing 4-4 with one of them being 3-0 down, that could have got screen time. Instead it just seemed to me that it was a pointless game to show. Birmingham is large city like Bristol and a somewhat successful team but Huddersfield is neither so I stand by my post that it was a strange choice.
EDIT - Just realised that the BBC had to include a northern team, there’s no way they could have televised just southern and midlands teams without upsetting people, that’ll explain it.

Same old. Can't really expect Ruud to work miracles in two games though and the fans (and Gary fucking Neville) need to allow Amorim time too. He didn't have Sporting playing, as they currently do, straight away. Time and patience is required and some effort from our players.

The international break is good timing for Amorim’s start. Gives him some time to get settled in before managing his first game. I’m cautiously optimistic about what’s to come.

Perhaps, but most of the players will be away so he won't get to work with them.
There's also the chance it'll give Man City the reset they need and they'll return to their usual results.
It's dogshit. Every few weeks they all bugger off

Olympique Lyonnais are going to be relegated (currently 5th) if they don't sort their debt out. Reading that article the owner is going to flog players from a Brazilian club and sell his stake in Crystal Palace to fund it. I personally don't think people should be able to own multiple clubs, especially when 1 can screw over others like this.
