I'm for it. He can reign in Pogba, and provide needed leadership.
Normally I'd laugh heartily at the prospect of United hauling Zlatan out of what is effectively retirement....but it actually might not be a crazy move.

The clip of the reporter yelling at a fan about how they are trying to help the club was so cringeworthy

Smalling on loan to AS Roma. €3m loan fee, no option to buy.

really surprising, but makes sense.

This pretty much means Lovren is not going to Roma and staying at Liverpool

It is both European and Domestic League news.

Also I am being slightly deliberately obnoxious.

Besides, its been eons since a Defender won it nevermind beating out players like Ronaldo and Messi.

I suppose at least Daniel James looks decent. Otherwise it's looking decidedly mediocre for United.

all three new signings look the part. It's the rest of the team that gives you headaches.

Who lasts longer: Ole or Frank? I think I'll say Frank just because Chelsea have no options at this point.

Ole. Easily.

I think Chelsea know that this season because of the Transfer ban is a bit of a write-off and hes more or less learning on the job. I dont think he sees much, if any, pressure.

Ole though...his record at the end of last season wasnt great, their start this season hasnt been ideal.

I have no idea how much rope Ole has been given.

West Ham has actually been quite exciting to watch over the past few games.

The link up play between Anderson and Haller is great!

Just saw the end of the Villa vs Crystal Palace game.... **** Kevin Friend, what a horrible, horrible call that robbed Villa of a point. Grealish runs through 2 contacts, makes the pass and then gets straight up looking at his pass, never once looking at the ref for a call yet he calls it diving and takes away the tying goal. FFS

And again...what's the point of VAR? The implementation is pathetic and we're only a couple weeks in.
