I referred to them as Utd and City and I’m not a fan or the media. Just an easier way of writing it. Plus I bet you know the exact two times I was referring to straight away.

Anyone who likes to watch a game of football?

And also of that is the case with Shaw and Maguire, which clearly it is, why are Utd refusing to let Maguire leave?

Lindelöf?

Big Manchester derby! Just an observation… Utd have over £160m worth of centre backs on the bench and have a left back at centre back. I’m sure it makes sense to someone…

Let’s be honest, no one thinks Scott is worth £25m because he plays for Bristol City. No one would question the price based on pure ability and potential. ”came through the ranks at Bristol City, no way is he worth £25” Balls to the lot of them! We hold the cards. He is worth what we say he is. As others have pointed out, there are young players who have gone for big money from championship clubs to the premier league and I don’t recall many being questioned over the price. Scott outshines all of them. £25m, 25% sell on clause, shake hands and be done with it.

Find out more about what is happening at the club via the manager’s agent than we do from the club itself. Maybe there would have been no need for this if our own board were not so invisible!

Doing arguably a bette job at Shrewsbury than he done here if you were to compare what he had to work with. Just not sure it would work him coming back here.

Get Roy Keane in!

That’s a shame

Coburn possibly getting recalled by Carrick at Boro next month. That would be nice

Given what was at stake, it was the greatest match of all time

It is a tough one as others have said. When it comes to major tournaments we look good against teams we should brush aside. When we face decent opponents we fall short, albeit with a good performance against the French this time around. It is the crap that happens between these tournaments that’s the issue for me. Many will say the nations league means nothing. Just competitive friendlies. But that doesn’t hide the fact in the build up to the World Cup we were a shambles. 3 draws and 3 defeats in a campaign ending in “relegation”. This included a 4-0 home defeat to Hungary! Southgate has the most talented crop of players in recent years so he needs to use them or let someone else do it.

Bring on the French! Come on Gareth, let them play with freedom and creativity and without fear.

Southgate’s comments suggests Foden has little chance of playing at the top of a midfield three, which is concerning given Mount seems to be the only one he will play in that role.

Push for more with so fresh legs coming in 10 mins into the second half

They have Duffy, Tosin and Chalobah on the bench they. Would have thought each one of them were better suited to the role than Bobby

See he has gone from converted midfielder to striker and now striker to converted right back apparently. Has he been playing many games at right back this season does anyone know?

Problem is Max is equally as bad, if not worse, than Bentley for commanding his area. Bentley is by far the superior keeper out the two. It’s the French lad I think we all pinning our hopes on!

Seen a lot on social media about the penalty incident yesterday vs Everton and how you fooled the ref into giving it. Now I’ve watched it a number of times and I cannot see how anyone could argue against it being a penalty. Pickford has thrown himself into Kane. The impact is clear and Pickford’s head even bounces off Kane’s leg such is the force of impact. Am I missing something? Is there a reason it’s no so clear cut as what I am seeing?

Fair point but 2 mins isn’t enough. Don’t get me wrong, there has been many male fights where 12x3 had felt far too long and turned into a bore fest.

I think 10x3 increases the chance of a knockout and would be more entertaining. As I said, tonight was very entertaining but each time the rounds were finished too soon.

This is the elite of women’s boxing. That was action packed but it’s bugging me it’s fought over 10, 2 mins rounds. The rounds are really heating up and all of a sudden the bell goes. If this is to compete with the men’s sport they have to be fighting 3 min rounds even if it’s over 10 surely?

Cracking start by both. Still not sure why womens boxing is 10 rounds?

What the hell is this entrance?!?!
