Looks like Juve - Napoli game tomorrow is off.

2 members of Juve staff test positive for Covid. Not players or coaches but the local health authority is preventing Napoli from travelling.

US football start times are as bad as their race off-times. Don't they have watches in the US?

It isn't watches, and you're going to love the reason For football, and a few of the major sports, the advertised "start" time is the time, when the players take the field. If there's some ceremony (honoring former players, say) that'll kick the time on. And more significantly, they're doing the national anthem (and if there's a Canadian team involved, then two of them). You cannot advertise a time, where people might tune in, without having the chance to join in saying all hail the flag and the nation. Surely that's common sense

Also, in a very American style they often have a string of matches set to be screened on a string. If one gets behind schedule for any number of reasons, the rest will be pushed back for TV without advising start time change (unless very significant).

Hope nobody's scalping unders at Old Trafford! (7 mins 1-2 already!)

Kane-Son partnership starting to remind me of Gerrard-Torres. Not bad at all.

This is getting slightly embarrassing, they are desperate for some leadership on the pitch. Someone like Pogba, it's a shame he doesn't play for United anymore.

I feel Mourinho is at his very best when he needs to win a grudge match.

[greenmark]

Pogba is so unbelievably over-rated.
I'm thrilled to see Spurs turn Utd over.

[Trader Pat]

Could be a very interesting and different top 4 come the end of the season

[Kai]

Pogba is so unbelievably over-rated.

He's pretty good at dabbing, just not so much at football sadly. Wasn't that ex-convict Harry Maguire supposed to be their ultimate leader?

It's been a criminal performance from him today!

At least Ole is back to doing what he does best, breaking records for United. Conceding 4 in the first half being the latest one. Complete shambles.

[greenmark]

This is not an LFC supporter wallowing in Utd's problems.
I just think Pogba is a misfit. He doesn't work at Utd. And no-one else wants him at his exorbitant price. The guy has so much potential, why does he not exploit it on the field? OK he's a multi-millionaire, but he could be world class.

I'm just disappointed Spurs didn't score nine.

This is not an LFC supporter wallowing in Utd's problems.

I'm doing enough of that for all of us!

[Kai]

I suppose that's a bit harsh on United, they do deserve some credit for keeping the score down. And their player numbers up.

[Euler]

Spurs still have Bale et al to come!

You can still bet on this game which is due to kick off at 7.45 even though Napoli are still in Naples!

Betfair on top of things as usual
