Not proud of it, but I once got creative and registered a team of 20-year-olds in a U10s tournament. Other coaches kept saying things like "you can't use them" and "they have beards" and "I think that's Myles Lewis-Skelly." But whatever happened behind the scenes, the game is won on the pitch.

I think this will be one of the defining images of the Premier League's void years: a proudly working class fanbase celebrating that the ruling family of an oppressive regime had hired a barrister on £10,000-an-hour to try and prevent them suffering consequences for their cheating. Embarrassing.

I'm so so happy we won a title before all this shambles. Yes, we should have won three, but last year just feels even better now knowing what we were up against. Incredibly satisfying.

They're autocrats. They cheat because they can. At home, they're above the rules. Abroad, they just act like it. The yes-men beneath them do whatever they're told. They'll throw every lawyer in the land at a case. When that's not enough, there's already precedent for cheating in a case itself.

Anyone who took the initiative to go through the Der Spiegel files and read them knew City were guilty. It was obvious. Especially the Etisalat and Etihad payments. The only way they were getting out of this was some sort of technicality that their Avengers of lawyers would be able to conjure up.

We gave them the ball every other minute. We lost every second ball to them. Every duel. They pressed us at every opportunity, we had some success doing it to them for the first 5 mins and then suddenly we stopped doing it??? Yes they won by screamers but they were better regardless. Game to forget.

Sums up my thoughts but in a much nicer way. Difficult watch.
Midfield options: Rice, Bruno G., Zubimendi, Lewis-Skelly, Ødegaard, Eze, Dowman, even Saka and Havertz as needed.
I like Merino as a midfielder plenty (especially as a late game 10) but it's probably past time to look at him as the primary Havertz cover at striker.

Howard Webb has revealed that the VAR did not assess the offside offence by Enzo Fernandez in Sunday's Manchester derby.
Webb said he was "really disappointed" with the error which came about because the VAR got "tunnel vision" about Erling Haaland.

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran.
Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

We had the best pass rusher in the entire sport and let him go. It's our own doing.
The Giants 90% 3rd down conversion rate (9/10) would be tied for the 2nd-highest by an NFL team in a game since 2000.
Only 1 team ever finished with a better conversion rate on 3rd down in a game this entire millennium.

We were one Raya penalty save away from the incompetence of the PGMOL potentially forcing a 6-point swing in the title race. One replay is all it would take for the vast majority of people to immediately realise what the correct decision was for the Ballard penalty and the Enzo offside.

With Eze & Tzolis as the LW options, I would also like to see Madueke to get some minutes there as he offers something completely different. We need to be a bit more proactive in giving our squad players 1st team mins so that when the inevitable injuries happen, they aren't thrown in the deep end.

The fact he agreed a two-year deal in the end makes it annoying Spurs didn't get him but I guess it was too risky to wait and see.

And it worked. Burn was perfect for the situation we found ourselves in last night. 👏
Having seen the interview of Tuchel explaining his decisions, I'm much more content with it. He's basically analysed the core group of starters and complimented them with additions that maintain the levels in the event of injuries or in certain game-state scenarios chasing or defending or penalties.
