PSG v Marseille was suspended 3 times in the first minute!

These 'Updates unavailable' suspensions on non UK games are a pain in the a$$ and very frequent. I've noticed over the course of the last few months that it also often happens after a goal is confirmed.

To be clear, of those 3, 2 were a suspected red card, not updates related, but I just thought I'd vent anyway.

Man City winning 9-0 with nobody scoring more than one goal. And no goal for Haaland, although he did come off at half time.

Rico Lewis just ruined it by getting his second.

Real Madrid sack Alonso.

Presumably Betfair will be leaving the Next ManU manager market open once Carrick is appointed as interim. Who knows whether Carrick will last the required 10 games? It's not totally impossible for someone like Alonso or Xavi to be appointed before the end of the season. Or even one of the other interim options like Van Nistelrooy or Solskjaer to take over if Carrick turns into a disaster I wouldn't put anything beyond them right now.

Real Madrid sack Alonso.

That could change the market today.
Carrick still trading at 1.07, but I've seen loads of managerial markets have short priced favourites lose

[jamesedwards]

Carrick all but confirmed as interim and I'm all green.

The market rules need him to be in charge for 10 consecutive games before the market is settled. The 10th game will be Bournemouth away on 21st march.

Will Carrick last 10 games?

H Man City
A Arsenal
H Fulham
H Tottenham
A West Ham
A Everton
H Crystal Palace
A Newcastle
H Aston Villa
A Bournemouth

There are a lot of points you'd expect him to pick up in the final 8 games of that list. Unless a permanent manager agrees to take over before then, I'd expect him to survive those 10 games

On xG stats, Man Utd have been playing well.

On balance, they were drawing games that they should of won. As long as Carrick doesn't make wholesale changes, they should be in the top 4/5 after those 10 games and Carrick might be seen as the new messiah....

[jamesedwards]

Man Utd very impressive. Give Carrick the job full time!

Man City toothless upfront and the make-shift rear guard as fragile as 17th century crystal.

Man City 25/1 for relegation. (20/1 in places).... Wonder what's happening with the 115?
