Nah, it's about Rummenigge who slagged off Mourinho and Man United for the way they've handled the Schweinsteiger situation.

Good to see Ched Evans back on track and scoring legally this time.

He ran through the whole defence, impressive stuff.

Bailly also looks good.

Fellaini assist to Vardy... good grief.

Great thing to do before the arriving of Pogba. :lol:

Rooney has been a shambles. Lost the ball every time he's had it. He really can't play in the hole anymore, he's a shadow of his former self.

And of course Zlatan scores.

That guy, Zlatan.

gotta love Ibra.

Rooney gotta stop playing football

Not a great game overall, in terms of the football played. Leicester played as we expect: organised and poised to break, and probably had a few penalty shouts. I'm delighted that Zlatan scored, not because I have much affinity for United, but simply because he's a legend. It's like Totti, it's hard to root against him.

Bailly looked a livewire for United. Made some questionable challenges, but showed signs of being a very good defender.

City v Arsenal friendly is more interesting & entertaining than the Community Shield. City's backline is Zabaleta, Fernando, Kolarov.

Typical Arsenal , create a handful of chances only to miss them all and concede on the first one given up.

City's backline now is struggling to pass the ball and play pep's style of possession football. They've gifted us the ball numerous times

I'm fascinated by the evolution of Sterling's hair.

Random sidenote, but Newcastle and Villa both lost their first Championship games. Not a good start for two bigger clubs than Spurs, according to No_20.

2 of Holding , Bieilk, Chambers starting at CB next weekend. I already want the season to end.

Of all the "big" clubs I think Arsenal have had the least best off-season.

Ayew confirmed for West Ham. I really like this signing and I'm pretty sure he will be great for us.

West ham have had a nice off-season. Didn't even hear many offers for Payet.

I can't wait to see where Boro finish this season! They've made some quality big name signings and it shows they'll be fighting for a top 12 finish.
As for UCL, this is going to be a disappointing year for English football as this is the weakest European participation by England in last so many years!

Hope Nugent stays on the pitch for Boro.

As for the CL, the representation is the best teams from last season and considering that English teams haven't done much for a few years it can't be any more disappointing than recently. Though I understand that the Mighty Liverpool probably should be in it simply because they've shown over the last decade what a great club they are.
