    About to turn on that match now, while watching City play Oxford United away, on my laptop. Boring match so far.

    Viasport showing the game here – as well as the City game; City just scored, without being particularly impressive so far. Playing some youngsters, though.

    Martial looking good for United, he should play ahead of Sanchez on the left.

    Martial really needs, and deserves playing time. Sánchez isn't really playing that well these days.

    City 2-0 up. Pretty one-sided in terms of possession, but City haven't created that much.

    Lee Grant to save the day?

    ____________
    3-0, City.

    Grant getting no help from the defenders there!

    United will never be in serious trouble though we will be lucky to get top six or worse the team looks fractured.

    I wonder how much there is to the Pogba/Mou situation. If the reports and rumours are true, it can only be disruptive for the player group.

    Jose has said Pogba will not captain United again and removed him from being vice Captain. Bottom line Pogba has been unprofessional with his antics, United can double there money on him, they have to get rid.

    Fergie got rid of him first time round he obviously saw something in Pogba's character.

    Agreed. Pogba can fuck off. You’re no Schokes, son. Pipe down.

    Surely United will be top 6. You got 2nd last year and the side hasn’t altered that much.

    Here is Mourinho’s thoughts on the penalties -


    ‘We practice penalties and we see it in training and when we get past the sixth penalty I know we’re in trouble with Bailly and Jones,’ Mourinho told Sky Sports,

    Great result for Derby last night! Norwich through too but it means another needless match in my opinion.

    Good evening of football, as Rosenborg and Arsenal are through to the next rounds in the cups.

    I don't expect Chelsea to have the same result on Saturday. They'd better buckle up.

    I’d much rather a win myself. It really would work for me.
    After a disappointing draw at West Ham, we need to keep ourselves in the mix at the top.

    Is this going to be the special one's last month in charge? Pogba's agent has half the team on his books so who really runs Utd? Either way, who cares? YNWA.
