Another great strike for Leeds, 5-0.

Sam's heaviest defeat as a manager?

Why should he make an attempt, honestly?

I honestly don't think he should.

I think its sarcasm considering the named efforts at speaking the local languages

Brighton are crap.
Potter plays nice football so doesn't get criticism.

Quite risky having united game kick off so soon after the others. What if there was a bad injury and a lot of injury time had to be played.

Delighted Leeds won at West Brom - People called it a battle of styles , so glad that proper foootball won out (in style).

What do you mean? The games hardly been played at the same ground as another game?

I meant for premier sports there was about 5 mins between the arsenal game finishing and united game starting. A bad injury in arsenal game and premier sports were in trouble.

Could use one of the other channels

Is Coady not usually the central center back in Wolves back 3? Playing on right with Saiss in middle.

Forearm smash to Neto's head is all fine it seems.

I still find it hard to believe that Maguire is the most expensive defender in the history of football.

No yellow for Rashford for diving?

Agent Coulson

You would think Alex would have better things to be doing after his heart attack than to be at a Man U match in the middle of a pandemic he would be deemed high risk of catching it at his age and underlying health issues.

English strikers don’t get booked for diving - see Harry Kane

I hate to say it but I have a feeling that we may not have premier League football in a week or two, it seems like a lot of teams are beginning to spiral out of control with positive tests and as such it seems that whatever protocols are in place are no longer enough.

Fulham v Spurs will more than likely be postponed tomorrow and what was initially a trickle seems to gradually be turning into a stream. There was always going to be players out with Covid along with some postponements and maybe I'm wrong but it feels like they have completely lost their grip on this, especially in the last few weeks.

There will be a 4 or 5 week break soon enough

Don't see it, with the money at stake they'll cocoon the squads and up the testing

He’s a €25-30m defender if he wasn’t an English international.

Ragnar Kalgan was about £4m? He’s probably a bit better than him in fairness but same mould. Utd overpaid, probably because Maguire was loyal to Leicester and didn’t push for the move.

He’s like a 40ft turning and has about as much acceleration.

Ah will you come off it. Let’s see Maguire pull this off before making outlandish statements like that:

Fernandes wins so many cheap free kicks.

I think a sniper took him out there, he’s learnt well!!!!!!

The amusing thing is they didn't even buy Leicester's best defender, a former united player.

Tony Hibbert always reminded me a bit of Zidane in fairness.

Both started balding at a fairly young age.

it's not just him in fairness, I always thought Gerrard went down too easy but there's a lot of them at it, particularly at penalties. The PL should say to them "we know what you're doing, we're not happy and there will be consequences"

eigrod

Haha. maguire wasting his time at 0-0 at home.
