What's going on at Roma? I thought somebody must have given Mourinho a smack in the face, but then I realised all the players have a red mark on their face, even the ref!

Let's just hope that there are no on-pitch punch ups this weekend.

Agreed.
Sorry. Has no bearing on odds or trading, but that goal from Garnacho for United was probably goal of the season and made Pickford look like a total numpty. What a goal!

I realise I'm very much in the minority given how much I'm seeing people rave about this all over social media, but I always find these kind of goals very overrated. Surely they're all just hit and hope? Every now and then someone gets very lucky and randomly finds the top corner, and it makes it a "worldie"?

Hit and hope indeed. Garnacho looked a bit shocked to say the least. And yes compared to the miinimalist sliderule pass in off the post from a true striker it was a proper free-hit for glory from that position.
But I also just love that he dared, executed and it sailed over Pickford and England's No.1 could do nothing about it. A beautiful arc.
And it is nailed on to win goal of the season.

At least Garnacho got a great connection rather than Rooney's miss-kick off his shin in 2011.

And I seem to remember Rooney celebrated like he knew what he was doing. But hey, anyone that's played understands that a lot of the time you try something.. 99% of the time you end up loooking like a prat. But I've scored a 1 out of a 100 and, frankly, you don't care that it was a highly improbable outcome. It feels flipping great.

Bets not voided again following a VAR at Bologna.

Edit: they voided sometime afterwards, came out alright on this occasion.

One-second halftime delay on the Lazio match.

RBL has to be worth a lay at HT in the City match? Currently 1.81

Pack your bags, get your coat and switch off the lights. Top level football is utterly finished.

PSG penalty?

That's the one.

Unless of course the defender deliberately chested a ball which was blasted at him onto his own left elbow.

10 minute sin bins the next piece of drivel to be trialled, say IFAB.
