I didn't "scream" anything. Nor do I see how me disagreeing with you ("subjectively" or otherwise) could possibly be taken to "emphasise" the point I was disagreeing with.

Seems we're at odds. I respect that. It’s a proper forum disagreement. Good for you. Sorry, not that it matters, but that moralistic tone just grates on me.

I'm sure that means a lot to him.

With all due respect, that's bollocks. Bayern are the Man United of Germany. Plus. Without the historical or contemporary competition. They're possibly the most arrogant, entitled club in the world. The Yankees of "soccer."

There's no excuse for Norway not to be better. Hire a better coach, I guess. Though (as I can testify to as an Irishman) no serious coach really wants to work in international football anymore. Edit: Just checking Haaland's international goalscoring record. Which is ridiculous. Christ, your defenders must be atrocious...

Out of interest, how committed are the Norwegian stars to their national cause? International football is generally so shit these days, a side should be competitive with a couple of decent players - never mind a couple of world class ones. But Norway haven't got close to qualifying for anything recently, have they?

"Baker kneecapped in Belfast" story suddenly makes sense.

From the Joe Hart school of hair losers in denial...

Yeah, for getting injured by former Linfield player.

Must be climate change, but it's amazing how Irish ladies tan these days. That yoke is genuinely darker than the black gladiators.

They have a better defensive record than the most defensive team in the league. And they're managed by an outstanding Italian coach.

Comfortably the best defensive record in La Liga. So, eh, I'm calling bollocks on that explanation.

Why would they sign the right back they obviously targeted as our weakness in the Champions League final?

Indians.

"The teenager has seamlessly embraced the fabled resilience ingrained in Wigan's identity." Fabled.

Bloody Bible-bashers...

Darwin has been a disgrace.

Our forwards were a disgrace out there. Smelling themselves. While a single goal up. Away from home. At Old Trafford.

Robertson is in serious decline. Gomez is mediocre.

So, potentially Leverkusen in the final.

Highlight of the game for me, that.

United did same today. Ten Hag manages every 5 games what Klopp manages every 160 (that is, twice in his entire time here).

Man Utd have faced 414 shots this season, the fourth-most behind Sheffield United, Luton Town and West Ham. That is an extraordinary figure that has resulted, in part, from a particularly poor last five Premier League matches, in which United have faced 100 shots. Compared with their supposed rivals, Man Utd are well below where they should be, as Sky Sports revealed on Monday Night Football: Ten Hag's team have faced 20 or more shots in 12 of his league matches as Man Utd manager, or once every 5.3 fixtures. Mikel Arteta, Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp are nowhere near that figure, with their sides facing 20 or more shots every 23, 73 and 161 matches respectively. This season, United have faced at least 16 shots in a Premier League on 14 occasions. City have done so twice, while Arsenal not once.

Yep, same thing happening to us and penalty decision for foul on Danns somehow absent from highlights.
