City should have been out of sight by half time, hard to understand the rules anymore when Gvardiol gets away with a yellow for his challenge; Its reckless, he's out of control with his studs on show 3ft in the air but the pundits left it alone.

They're in the junior championship because they weren't good enough to win it previously. League and championship aren't linked in some counties and that's fair enough as far I'm concerned.
I'd more so have an issue with Blackhill being a yo-yo club every few years, Glenullin remaining at intermediate level for two years running, or a club like Cullyhanna being relegated to intermediate via their league position, ignoring the fact they'd played 90% of the league without their county representatives. This then gave them a pretty straightforward intermediate title in Armagh and a crack at Ulster, despite being a senior club at full strength. A system like Cavan's would eradicate these problems and ensure teams that win championships move up accordingly, and those that have county representation aren't relegated to a lower tier championship via league position undeservedly.

Expected a lot of him after an impressive World Cup and he was good for Fiortenia in their run to the conference league final but he looks totally out of his depth. Makes so many basic errors.
Utd are just about getting away it against the likes of Fulham and Luton but as shown against Man City that midfield just isn't going to cut it against the better teams in the league.
Think maybe being slightly harsh on Amrabat, he came in for his first couple of games as makeshift left back.
He then is playing in a clearly dysfunctional midfield, trying to hold on his own while adjusting to the league.
There is a player in there for sure, just whether ETH can get to a formation that will allow some sort of structure in the midfield whilst getting the best out of Bruno and Mount/ Erikson/ McT.

I was at OT on Sunday, a crap experience where I was sat was full of day trippers with half and half scarfs and megastore bags. Gate receipts are up per game despite prices staying the same for ST holders, selling tickets for £300 for the derby with the option to buy a drink somewhere, its touting.
They are destroying the club with there incompetence, making the same mistakes with managers time and time again. Things were supposed to be different this time round yet £80m has been spent on Antony when Ajax would have taken £40m at the start of summer but we left it too late and they'd sold half their team so they didn't need to sell. Casemiro in isolation would have been fine but not on the back of signing Antony.
The culture of the club is rotten to the core with them, we're a rudderless ship. Barca, Real & Bayern have either spent a fortune on redeveloping the ground or moved to a new one whilst OT is decaying. The training ground is just average by premier league standards.
If by shear luck we'd had a manager in recent times who'd returned United to the top we wouldn't have remained there as they only care about finishing in the CL spots.
As for Ten Hag I hope he can turn it round in the next few weeks, saw so much promise last season although think its inevitable he'll be sacked.
As for Arteta there's no chance Ten Hag could get away with finishing 8th, 8th & 5th in his first 3 years.
All the big clubs are at that "hospitality" carry on are they not ?

The latest potential AFL recruits are Cork's Conor Corbett, Galway's James McLoughlin, Down's Odhran Murdock and Tyrone's Eoin McElholm all will spend two weeks Down Under and are expected to visit a number of clubs who could have an interest in signing them professionally.
The quartet have been involved in ongoing trials and a network in Ireland established by the AFL for potential recruits. In recent weeks, Longford's Matthew Duffy and Kerry's Rob Monaghan have been signed by Carlton, while Cork's Liam O'Connell has joined St Kilda. That trio had been observed by clubs at recent trials in Dublin.
