I can't believe United are going to finish outside the top 4 despite Ronaldo's 47 goals scored across all competitions in 2021.

Jose Sa was a pretty useful buy for us.

Rashford in particular just looks defeated. Like he's either got long covid or is going through some personal stuff. It's a good thing United have gotten a new psychologist.

According to the CAF medical commission, the players Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, Axel Meyé and Mario Lemina barely out of the Covid cannot take part in this match.
The examinations would show cardiac lesions.
CAF did not want to take any risks.

Alphonso Davis at Bayern is also out for with heart problems for a few weeks at least after a recent covid infection.

Might end some careers

i obviously feel bad for those players but what's really scaring me about that is that those players only found out after follow-ups

how many regular people are getting cardiac examinations after getting covid

Muppetman

How very Arsenal this is, however the blame lies with the PL who have really made a poor decision here - 1 Covid case - the other stuff about injuries and AFCON is irrelevant.

Thanks to the Sudanese team for not giving me a late disappointment and instead letting Nigeria score in the first 3 minutes so I know what kind of match it’s gonna be.

Took a complete keeper fuck up for United to finally score a set piece goal after 90+ tries

In conclusion, football truly is a game of two halves.

And in keeping with the thread title, apparently Benitez is gone at Everton.

Maybe they'll have Big Sam back?

The Football Association is looking into a yellow card received by an Arsenal player in a Premier League fixture this season, amid concerns over suspicious betting patterns.

It is understood that bookmakers flagged to the FA an unusual amount of money placed on the Arsenal player being shown a yellow card during a Premier League game this season.

The FA told The Athletic: “The FA is aware of the matter in question and is looking into it.”

The Athletic knows the identity of the player in question but has agreed not to reveal it at this time due to privacy reasons.

Multiple gambling industry insiders have told The Athletic that the pattern of betting surrounding the player being shown a yellow card during the match was highly unusual.

Lol time to wildly speculate at who it is. And why Xhaka did it.

If it lets us cancel his contract and get him to fuck off, I'm here for it.

An Everton fan threw a bottle at Aston Villa players after Villa scored a goal. It hit Matty Cash and Lucas Digne.

Its tough to tell who's being serious about it and who's just taking the piss.

But the people who still honestly believe he was "miles" offside bass on something like that link is less than zero, which, just....yeesh.

Santa Claustrophobia

You could perhaps argue that his arm is forward and blahblahletterofthelaw sort of thing. But still.


Haven't seen that level of complete, willful ignoring of the reality since the Music City Miracle. (People still insist it was a forward pass.)
