Might as well get Conte. Not because he’s the answer, but rather because the downfall in 12-18 months will be entertaining. #MUFF

In all fairness to Shaw, that challenge probably reminded him of the same one in Eindhoven that arguably changed the course of his career.

We didn’t need the guilty verdict to know that City are a hollow club whose success is down to an ethically questionable state buying them to cleanse their global reputation. The only thing it tells us is that these owners are also unethical in sport, too.

I don’t even know the solution for United right now. Taking a shot on another manager is risky. We might just need to endeavour with eating this shit sandwich. #MUFC

Wasteful up front with an extra player. Gifting possession to the opponents in your own half without any pressure. You get what you deserve, eventually. #MUFC

Pity take and we should’ve defended that better, but why were play past the 5 minutes? I know it’s minimal, but it felt like the ref wanted to give them one more chance.

Tarkowski should be getting his second yellow after his earlier “tackle” on Cunha. Admittedly, Dalot’s foul now should be his second yellow.

Portugal’s elimination will centre on Ronaldo’s ego and Martinez’ lack of spine. Either way, time to get Bruno and Dalot back in United red.

Elite sport is all about moments. Brazil wasted theirs. Norway capitalised. Also, it’s quite nice to watch a football match when one team isn’t looking to snap the other one in half.

It wasn’t a pretty match but, ultimately, it wasn’t to be for South Africa. Sadly, we’re far behind the rest of the world. The players there performed valiantly, but this is in spite of the South African Football Association. Now, it’s time to back the country I live in 🇳🇱

Is there anything we can actually do about this joke of a World Cup? I’m sure the lucrative television contracts have been signed. People not watching won’t hurt anyone. I’m feeling pretty useless. Fuck FIFA.

When you’ve played every match this season like you’re defending a 1-goal lead in a Champions League final against PSG, it’s pretty fucking convenient when you’re busy defending a 1-goal lead in a Champions League final against PSG. #UCLFinal

Regardless of the result tonight, Arsenal fans should be excited to know that Klopp and Pep are out of their way and they can dominate for a few years.

Jose Mourinho is Real Madrid president Florentino Perez’s favoured candidate to replace Alvaro Arbeloa as manager. The president is now the main supporter of bringing back Mourinho, but some other voices within the club are opposed. More from Mario Cortegana & @david-ornstein.bsky.social

Assuming City win their game in hand, we’re in a situation where there’s essentially a straight goal-difference shootout for the title. Win all your games and win them well.

If Haaland goes down, it’s a slam dunk red card. If Martinez went down with DCL’s hand in his face, it’s a free-kick to United and a yellow for DCL. Players and teams are rewarded for theatrics.

Was Gabriel fortunate not to be sent off for this clash with Erling Haaland?

Crazy to think that this relegation battle can end up being between two teams with new, modern and sizeable stadiums. Relegation for Spurs is incomprehensible in terms of the implications for them.

How the fuck do we manage to severely expose serial winning managers from Netherlands and Portugal? The whole "Netherlands is not on the level of the Premier League" argument falls a bit flat when you look at Slot. #MUFC

I remember watching United under uncle Ralf thinking “well done, son. You’ve witnessed the worst you’ll see for a long time. It’ll only get better”. #MUFC
