It's not a win, but it feels like a win!

I didn't see it as I was watching Arsenal's  but that was a great comeback and the fact that it poured even more misery on petro-dollar doped City - Wonderful!

Beginning to feel a little sorry for Pep though - It's unlikely that he's experienced such a poor run of results ever! As a player or manager

Did Rooney go to the frank lampard school of football management

Frustrating. Unfortunately it looks like he's just not cut out for the job of managing a football side. I can't see him being a particularly fluent pundit either, so I have to wonder what he's going to do with the rest of his days. He's still only 39!

He should have looked after himself a bit better and extended his playing career. When Ryan Giggs was a little bit older than Wayne is now, he was still playing in the United side that won the league in 2013.

Well, I don't think he's been great. He's spent more than any of the other post-Fergie managers and he hasn't had much to show for it, but at the same time, I don't think he's the real problem. There's something deeper-rooted in the way the club is being run.


Well, I am sure he wasn't the problem.. It really does run deep, feels like maybe they need a relegation before someone comes to their senses.

Expensively assembled squad. Managers installed with big reputations and high salaries. An owner with a track record of achievement in sport and beyond.

Team failing miserably! Just what is going on with United?

Early days for Ratcliffe of course and the negative impact of the Glazers still hangs around. I'm sure he will turn it around eventually but how long will it take?

We went from good to, well..not so good. We play Bayern Munich tonight but nearly the entire midfield is out injured, and so are the backs. Manager is about to be sacked and our striker will leave for AC Milan.

On the upside: 1 more point and we are probably safe from elimination in the CL. Either tonight, or the next game against Lille.

Well, another day in the life of a Feyenoord supporter it is.

So far, so good. 2-0 at half time  :o
I'd settle for a draw even.

3-0 wow well done. 

Man City lose again and may not even get to the last 16.

It is a lot less predictable and brutally honest. No more calculating how may draws will get me through, I like it!

Usual ramshackle Football Focus description of Celtic's Champions' League run this season. Err, umm and if you can't remember who they played just guess an opponent's name. The BBC are an absolute disgrace. "Where's the bloke, love"?

Pleased to see this https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c0m1lemv8w7o

"Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has suggested he'd rather give a place on the bench to his 63-year-old goalkeeping coach instead of Marcus Rashford because of a perceived lack of effort."

There's a fine line I know, but I just appreciate the honesty. It was speculated by some that Ruben is too much of a nice guy to do well at United, and although he does seem like one, I get the impression he's not going to be messed around.

Also, he's only 39. Didn't know that. Ryan Giggs was still playing for United at that age.
