Think I need a rule to check I haven't entered the same nominated selection twice!!

Dinamo Zagreb vs Celtic match odds. The Hoops have gone from 2.6-ish to 1.8-ish over the life of the market. Must admit, I’m baffled by this swing given their Champions League away record since 2001 reads: W2, D5, L34.

Mans goated

As zoomers would say

Coventry and Brighton must be kicking themselves!

He's on Amorim's shopping list for around £40 million. (off-loading Rashford is a plan too)

2 Premier League fixtures kicking off on Sunday night at 19.00, football is losing the plot.

Kind of makes sense for Chelsea and Tottenham though with both clubs playing the thursday night before and the thursday night after.

City in deep trouble

[greenmark]

Never seen a top team unravel so quickly.
ATM it looks like Pep has lost his mojo. No intensity and he's talking about no future club management, maybe a national team which isn't so draining.
If that is the case I can't blame him. He has always appeared to invest massive amounts of emotiional and intellectual energy. Maybe he's just had enough.

Pep's never experienced a bad run like this, so the impact on his thinking and emotions are new to him. He might sense he's taken Man City are far as he can. They are missing certain players and some are coming back slowly, so they should rally, but there might be more pain for a while.

Add in the mix the 115 other reasons that are yet to be decided, he might not stick around for his 2 years extended contract.

Hard to figure why it happened so quickly (from the end of October)

In the Premier, Chelsea will be sailing by them soon enough.

In Europe, they're unlikely to qualify automatically, if at all, if they don't buckle up soon. (Last nights' loss to Juventus included)

He's already said if City get relegated he'll be staying.
But will he be allowed to stay if they get relegated and plummet. The City hierachy mght take the pain of paying him off. They would lose players and Fair play would prevent them throwing money at the issue.

This is a damning stat

Regarding CL the first phase is all about finishing in the top 8 to avoid the playoff round

Not sure how much of an actual benefit seeding will provide, though playing the 2nd leg at home can be a decisive advantage

This is a damning stat

Walker is beginning to be outpaced. Wilson is a target for opponents. The midfield is becoming hollow. De Bruyne is on the wain. Haaland's body language is "why am I here?". No joy in this, but they are paid vast sums, now is the time to show how good they are. Do they really care enough?

Btw they added more charges so the number now is 130

That's very similar to what a lad in work said this morning - Walker is gone, doesn't have the pace and that's all he ever had, KDB isn't the same since his injury and past his peak, Haaland wanders around like Ronaldo bitching about everything, and watching Gvardiol is like watching a slow motion car crash.
