The NLD has been hands down, the most entertaining derby for some time now.

Certainly. Because the teams are close.

Break comes at a nice time for spurs, once its over Ndombele should be healthy, lo celso ready, alli fully fit, and sess/foyth very close to ready
Sanchez can never ever ever play rb again, ever

Xhaka coming out of that game with 1 yellow was absolutely stunning
Alli and the dive I'm not sure, I think, and this is without replays, it was what happens to ronaldo and bale a lot, he jumped out of the way of expected contact. Cause if he just stayed on his feet he was clear in, the defender, Luiz?, just did a feint tackle and stood still
Kane was looking for contact, but with another ref is probly a pen, same with the tackle on auba earlier, and in the end, game is better for it with both being let go

Arsenal's home shirts this season look awesome. I really like the stripes on the shoulders. A bit of a retro touch.

Matteo Darmian has become the latest player to leave Manchester United this summer, after signing a four-year contract with Parma in a deal worth €4 million.
The Italy full-back is the third first-team player to leave following the closure of the Premier League transfer window on Aug. 8, after loan moves for Alexis Sanchez to Inter Milan and Chris Smalling to Roma.
It has been a busy summer of outgoings for the Old Trafford side with Ander Herrera and Antonio Valencia having left on free transfers, signing for Paris Saint-Germain and L.D.U. Quito respectively, while Romelu Lukaku joined Inter.

Not bad from United. I had remarked that their summer work might be better judged by who goes out rather than who comes in. There was a lot of dead wood that needed jettisoning.

I remember thinking Darmain was great for Torino and the national team and would be good at United. He was even pretty good in the first season under LVG, but never seemed to fit in futures years under Mourinho.

Darmian was fine for 5 games or so under LvG, but has been underwhelming ever since. Simply not good enough offensively to cut it in the PL, he's always been better suited to the Italian league and he should have gone back a lot sooner.
But yeah, good to finally see some deadwood leaving. Too bad that the likes of Jones, Rojo and Young are still around, but they were never going to turn it all around in just one summer.

True enough, the only real detriment is that a lot of these guys are going out on loans because the Italians dont seem interested in buying.
Either way though, still good to get some of them out.

Really was a touch worth of applause considering who was bearing down on him.

Good catch. Why in the world would Roy be sacked? They're off to a great start!

Why do you feel like that with Poch? It's not isolated to sacked.
Between now and January will tell a story for him and Spurs.

That's not how odds work. They'll offer bigger odds to attract coin.

the guy was the first manager in 27 years to not get a single signing in and he still took them to the CL final. That's a manager that just feels unsackable to me, and a loss to Newcastle and a tie against Arsenal certainly doesn't change that IMO. If they sit outside the top 6 by Christmas then that's a different story, but right now? Seems crazy to me.

Are the odds specifically for sacking, or just for not being the manager? Sacking seems insane, but he could walk, especially if (when?) Barca comes open.
