Jesse Marsch just became the first American coach to coach in the Champions league and the first to win a match ( handily I might add)

Even though it was disallowed by VAR that was an INCREDIBLE display of skill by Bale. He is still one of the best when he is on the field. How healthy he will be this year is anyone's guess, but he still play. It would probably make sense for Zidane to find a way to make things right."Have you ever seen a monk get wildly fucked by a bunch of teenage girls?" "No" "Then forget the monastery."

recent observations...
1. united vs arsenal match a shell of what it once was. united stink, downright dreadful woodsy but arsenal are complete shit. xhaka? captain?? > rather see ozil duck free kicks since he can accurately pass. said it in august, luiz is terrible, pepe is out of his element and the team still leak goals. just not good enough. united are so bad they were better under moyes. no plan, no ideas and neither team have a player that would break city or liverpool's starting 11.
2. like pulisic but didn't like the move. would have recommended a move to spain which is better suited for his game, skiilset and size. hudson-odi coming back from injury doesn't help his cause. needs to play his ass off in training but hey, tennessee has the smoky's! : )
3. champions league > tottenham vs bayern
4. scholes was legit, no doubt, but he was a butcher in the tackle. could never figure out the timing and should have probably had another dozen reds. like ramos level.Comment

united were better under Moyes because they still had talent from a legacy combination of a great manager & talent recruitment/investment & a club that hadn't been milking the team dry.
united will be shit until management invests more resources in players instead of recruiting another marketing partner. Not much different from how long Liverpool spent in the comparative wilderness until the combination of a good manager (Klopp) and an owner willing to invest (FSG) and good talent spotters (club) reappeared and they won the Champions League.Comment

Arsenal is a different team with Laca up front. Criminally underrated. The guy is the stitching that holds the front line together.
Pepe needs to settle down. He’s really pressing.
Arsenal’s midfield is shaky but they would be better with a better back line. That’s not far away with both starting wingbacks about to be back. It’ll be interesting to see this team with Laca, Bellerin and Tierney. I keep thinking they are about to make the leap forward and then the progress sort’ve stops.
They have the players to be top 4 when they are healthy. If they don’t get there, you have to look at Emery.

This is pretty spot on.
IMO they are a couple players from being solidly 3rd best (I mean no one is getting close to Liverpool or City until Klopp or Guardiola move on). They need an elite center back and an elite defensive midfielder. They can't play their best top 3 because the midfield isn't strong enough. And David Luiz is solid in a back 3 (like at Chelsea under Conte), problem is 3 at the back doesn't lend itself to 3 that Arsenal have up front. And neither work with a so-so midfield.
Until Arsenal start addressing their defensive needs they'll be in this constant cycle of bringing in exciting attackers but shipping goals against mediocre opposition.Comment

United is bang average and will be until they get a proper Director of Football and buy and sell players with some type of strategy & understanding of what the fuck they are trying to do.
For the "biggest club in the world" not to have one fucking #9 to play in a match at any level of their system is a fucking disgrace.
Really wish Real wold of held on to that loss.
WTF happened to Spurs?Comment

The Maradonna doc on HBO is amazing, especially for those of us who grew up in the US in the 80s and werent aware of his impact aside from a few World Cup Highlights until he was a coked up has been.
To almost single handedly take a team to the top of Serie A when it was arguably the best league in the world and then take that team to Euro glory?
Plus the 86 & 90 world cups
Dude was amazing on the pitchComment

Well he was an egregious cheater, besides the known hand of Diego he was almost certainly coked up all the time before they were systematically drug testing but yeah if that’s what you consider amazing.
