Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

I dunno, I think so, that could be to protect the fee, his body language though, actually if you search on Twitter UTD fans dont rate him

Bags of talent but no time for sulkers. Too bad for them he’s on like 200k/wk. They’ll have a limited market with that contract as only a handful of clubs can afford to pay it, much less a massive fee they’d also want.

God i would love to see us in the Champions league

So how many managers this week have bemoaned the amount of CL games they've got to play? Let's get rid of the league cup and 4 premier league fixtures a season so we can watch more of United v Basaksahir.

Buendia with the rare hat trick of goal, assist and red card today. I'm still a bit surprised that he's playing for Norwich when he was the best creator in a pretty decent attack last season for them, while in the same window Lewis and Godfrey both were signed out of a terrible defense and Aarons was linked with Bayern and Barca. It'll never be one that quite makes sense to me I don't think.

Mad how we need a right winger and this lad is playing Championship after the season he had with Norwich last year (1 goal but 7 assists).

he is an angrier, worse version of Bernard

He's miles better. I mean he had 7 assists last season, Bernard may never reach 7 in the PL. That's one number but it starts to paint a clear picture.

I'm not necessarily thinking we should have signed him and I don't know just how good he is but someone in the league should have done it for sure.

Proper mess of a club these days.

 

[deipnosophist]

I am a little flattered by all the PMs asking for more details surrounding 'Ngruawahia 1973' but the risk of inspiring ennui in many on here who are already familiar with my tale around Ross Pottinger's tale of homesickness woes, is too high for me to repeat it again. Suffice to say, Potty Syndrome is a very real mental pathology.

Proper mess of a club these days.

Basket case that, must be proper demoralising for the players there given the club has only won 4 games all year and only twice in the league, the last of which was against this weekend’s opponents Monchengladbach in January

It's mad really as only a few years ago they were seen as being the next up and coming team in Germany, no idea who thought getting Wagner in as a manager was a good idea though.

Yeah you’d think after finally binning Wagner off their fortunes would have changed but they seem to be getting worse, if they keep it up then they could be relegated by February/March

Looking at the new Covid figures it may be that we initially stay in tier 3 anyway with a move down to tier 2 imminent.

177 per 100k the national average and we're around 162 with Wirral well below at 131 (Sefton 160, Knowsley 167, Liverpool 174) reckon an average of about 162

(not sure if St Helens (201) or Halton (219) are included as part of our region)

But they reckon about half the country will be in tier 3 with vast areas moving up to the highest tier and those areas already in higher tiers are still likely to be in higher tiers come December 2.

So even 2000 at the likes of Tranmere and local non league clubs such as Southport may have to wait until we're moved down to tier 2.

Tier 3 is a joke
Just like it is now but with gyms and hairdressers

Yeah agree, every justification to be moved into tier 2 as the rate is falling in our area and tier 2 far more akin to what we had in the highest tier before lockdown anyway - and that seemed to be stopping any further rise and would almost certainly suffice now.
