Business seems good, Chelsea still sponsorless

Targeted at the Asian gamblers rather than UK. Many of these sites don't even operate here. Gambling business flying in the ROTW, but smothered in the UK due to the anti-gambling laws.

Why do the Man U players all have really sweaty backs?

Well, I only saw the second half, but Man Utd don't seem to have moved forward one iota vs last season. Ten Hag gone by Christmas based on that performance.

Not sure if there's any United fans on here? Besides CS and Naffman

Was just wondering who else I should put on the foe list

But on a serious note looks to me like they still haven't addressed their goals issue, last season their main guy scores his first goal in December and not for lack of trying. Still too much deadwood and too many happy pensioners on retirement plan contracts, all setting the manager up for failure.

They've done great getting rid of Varane, think his came off injured again after 23mins in his Como debut. But they threw too much money and pressure on the teenage Yoro to fix all their problems at the back, he's already out for months. Unconvinced by the ex Ajax misfit duo of de Ligt and Mazraoui as well, if Juve and Bayern thought de Ligt was value for money they wouldn't be desperate to move him on.

I will say though that United can be good value at times when underdogs playing on the counter, it's miles off that sexy Ajax football we saw years ago but they seem to be very good at this.

Wow, the benefits of having Snapdragon for a sponsor : https://www.youtube.com/shorts/rOcX0MhT6iE

That is really cool.

34 min added time at end of 1st half in Reims v Lille, head injury had a lad on the ground for ages.

Four matches, four draws in the Italian Serie A.

Brentford still on holiday here, there looking miles off the pace.

The referee/VAR relationship finally seems to be working correctly. It's taken long enough.

For the 1st game of the season, it seemed very much like it was the last few games of the season/dead rubber game to me. City were lethargic and did a lot of poncing about passing around through Ole's, and doing nothing like their season was finished and victorious. Chelsea were making much more effort (albeit in vain) and playing like they were in relegation territory and putting themselves in the shop window if they were to be relegated.

Their return leg fixture is the end of Jan so it'll be a dire season if the same happens and title and relegation candidates are settled by then.

Unless City get hit with a 30+ point deduction and some type of transfer embargo for the next 3 years....(they might step it up a gear then)

That's why Spurs won't do much this season the proper teams would of put Leicester out of sight while on top then pinged the ball about while smoking cigars and made 5 subs to rest players.

Didn't see the equaliser coming but it's amazing what the goal has done for Leicester. Game wide open now.
