2 premier league players (both 19) arrested over a rape. They've apparently been suspended so it won't be too difficult to work out who they are.
Wolves have had to put out a statement saying it's not any of their players involved because the internet detectives decided it must be Wolves players which has resulted in some of their players being harassed.

Jackson should've been sent off there imo. The ref should have at least gone to the monitor. Got away with a potential ankle breaker.
eta. not even a yellow card? Shocking.

Partey has barely played this season, and definitely isn't getting a new contract. Arteta tried to get rid. He is stuck with they guy. Totally unlike the revolting moves Ten Hag was making to bring Greenwood back into the dressing room. And don't get me started on Antony.
Also, Ten Hag still probably wants Greenwood back at the club. I mean, why should we assume he has changed his mind at all?
And nobody is "sucking anyone off". Grow the fuck up, for fuck sake.

I'm not sure if this is supposed to be in defence of Ten Hag or not. All you've done here is pointed out just how badly you've regressed this season, while Arteta gone the opposite way. Either way, the chaos and tactical naivety is why Ten Hag is seventh in the table, twenty-four points below Arteta at the summit.
Not a defence. Just pointing out that Ten Hag is capable of setting a team up to be more compact but is choosing not to this season in which case he should be sacked for stubbornly sticking with a disastrous setup.
Oh, and you seemed really really concerned about rapists wrt Ten Hag but busy sucking off Arteta who happily continues to play a rapist. Like I said, results trump morals.

Should have kept de Gea.
Onana has been very good though barring those fuckups in the CL.

I've been moaning about Ten Hag's tactical setup since preseason. I've also mentioned recently that the chaotic setup seems to be what he's going for in which case he should be sacked. @ljkeanealso correctly pointed out that this setup amounts to nothing more than "create a chaotic open game and hope it goes our way". However, Ten Hag is pretty clearly able to set the team up to be much more compact if he wants to -- he's just choosing not to this season for whatever reason -- as evidenced by last season. Sure, the chaos element reared its ugly head from time-to-time but United conceded 43 goals last season (the same as Arsenal), 17 of which came in 3 games against Brentford, City and Liverpool and we also kept the most clean sheets last season.

Arsenal fans seem to love Arteta when he's quite happy to play a rapist. Arsenal fans were enthusiastically cheering on said rapist when he was performing well but suddenly found their morals when he wasn't. Results trump morals.

4 cup finals in 4 years is pretty good going though. Nobody has ever suggested that he's the "best manager in the world".

Paul Joyce reporting that Arne Slot is Liverpool's top choice to replace Klopp.

Forest's request for the VAR audio recordings to be provided to them has been granted.
eta. Forest are also being investigated for comments made after the game.

Kerry Hau reporting that Bayern have opened negotiations with Rangnick.

While that's absolutely true, what went wrong at Chelsea is he was forced to take sole responsibility for buying in players, which he didn't feel qualified to do. He might actually do well with a competent full backroom in place. 'Might' doing a lot of heavy lifting, to be sure.
Tuchel has had falling outs with the higher ups in every job he's been in. He's just someone who starts throwing his toys and picking fights with everyone when he doesn't get his way.
Tactically, it's pretty unlikely that he'd do a worse job than the turdfest Ten Hag has served up this season though. Even Newport County (a side sitting in midtable in the 4th division) were just waltzing through our midfield with ease. This issue was apparent even during preseason and Ten Hag has done nothing to mitigate it.

Would Man U fans accept the kind of football that Tuchel teams play?
That's not really the big issue though. United are in the process of putting in a structure above the manager which likely means that the manager is going to be more of a head coach. Tuchel is another Mourinho/Conte type who doesn't play well with others and will pick a fight with a DoF and/or Technical Director at the drop of a hat.
Not sure we can do any better though if Ten Hag is sacked with Liverpool, Bayern and Barca all in the market for managers. There's been reports that Allegri might leave Juve at the end of the season as well. Napoli, Milan and possibly Chelsea could be looking for new managers too.

Leverkusen's plot armour continues. Yet another late, late goal to keep the unbeaten run alive.

Are they wrong about the penalty calls, though? I watched the replays, and one for sure was a penalty, the other two could have been called soft if they had been given.
They have a case but insinuating that the only reason they weren't given the penalties is because the VAR is apparently a Luton fan is silly. The ref didn't give the pens so the VAR protecting his mate on the field is much more likely.

Close but offside. We've seen absolute loads of kneecap and armpit offsides so the referees being strict about it is hardly surprising.

Who'd have thought that Solskjaer was a better tactician and coach than Ten Hag. We had better control over games playing Fred and McTominay in midfield under Solskjaer.

Forest's organised crime boss owner upset that he can't threaten and bully officials in England like he can in Greece.

West Ham are getting smoked.

So we either lose to City tomorrow or City next month. Fucking City ruining football.

Miss Jackson keeps fucking them up though.

Looks like the FA and PL might have to backtrack on scrapping FA Cup replays. Apparently they did not consult with the EFL when making the decision and now the EFL and its clubs are up in arms over it. According to John Percy, EFL clubs are threatening to boycott the competition and even the government is demanding answers from the FA and PL.

I have watched a bit of both. Stylistically, Slot seems to be more suited to the makeup of Liverpool's squad than Amorim which, in theory, would ensure a smoother transition.
