  Unfortunately this video isn't available to watch here in Norway, @Fire_and_Ice_Returns – which is a shame, as I'm always up for a compilation of Nicklas Bendtner's best goals!

  
  Bendtner a very humble player lol

  
  Haha, yes! To be honest though, he seemed quite more a mature player in interviews while at Rosenborg – in contrast to his life while in England.

  Bournemouth aren't in particularly good form right now, so I can see Norwich winning this match!

  Erling Braut Haaland with a hat-trick in his Borussia Dortmund debut. Came on as a sub in the 56th minute!

  I’m a Liverpool supporter who’s been in a coma for over two years. Can someone run me through how they’ve been doing? Thanks ;)

  Premier League clubs expected to change to hybrid version of early transfer window with only international transfers permitted after start of the season. Also: Clubs have been told that this summer will be last time they can sign 16 and 17-year-olds from EU countries due to Brexit.

  I remember that vividly and King Eric's lengthy ban, it really derailed us for that period.

  Great first half for United so far. 5-0, goals from Maguire, Dalot, Lingard, Jones and Martial.

  Has to be said that I would sooner have had 2 wins in the league than progress 2 rounds further into the FA Cup.

  Bruno Fernandes to Man United is a done deal. He is currently flying to Manchester for his medical and to sign a contract until June 2024.

  Another bad result for Arsenal. Can't see them getting top six now, and they are well into a downward spiral as a club. Shame that they're no better than a mid-table side, but that's the reality right now.

  Manchester City banned from all UEFA competitions for next two seasons

  Surely this will mean fifth place this season will get Champions League spot
  
  I wonder if this ban is with immediate effect

  Possible exodus at Man City? I know we lost to Liverpool yesterday, but I am so proud of how hard the lads worked yesterday. OTBC!!!

  Lazio just won against Inter and is one point behind Juve. It's almost insane but I am secretly hoping we can grab that 3rd Scudetto in our 120 year history. What a stunt would that be?!

  Good away win for City at Real I say reluctantly, never count out Real though City should win this tie now, KDB what a player.
  
  Ramos sent off again, his red card record will be tough to beat in years to come.

  I know it is extremely unlikely to the point of almost realistically impossible at this point, but how fun wouldn't it be if they failed and slipped on the finish line also this year? ;))

  More likely that coronavirus puts a stop to all sporting events, preventing us completing the required 4 wins for the title, in which case I suppose I’d have to kill myself.
