The FA had an urgent meeting with club owners concerning Manchester city scandal. Todd Boehly and co are pushing for quick judgement.

They are right to have an urgent meeting and to push for a quick judgement of the matter.If Manchester is found guilty then most likely it is game over for them in terms of fighting for the Premier League for this season and many more to come depending on how grave is the matter.

I personally am against such big punishment as I don't like to remove a team that always fights for the title in these last years and also does great performance in most of their Champions League games,it would be a loss for football in general if City is punished hard.

It is good to see that Boehly, who spent 500 million pounds since he took over less than a year ago, is pushing for sustainability in football.
I hope he goes down with City as well. Either make it an open field for all clubs and let's have 30 Saudi owners in England or let's find a way to stop cheap tricks altogether - and Boehly is as guilty as the City guys.

Football is changing, that's a fact. And in the coming years, it will change radically because the old model just goes bankrupt/went bankrupt. Today there was new news about the launch of the Super League in a new format (which is vaguely similar to the new format of the Champions League). In the coming years, I think we will see fierce competition between three projects: the Super League, the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League. I hope that the Superleague and the Premier League will find common ground and the UEFA garbage will be finally thrown into the dump.
As far as I know most Premier League teams are against it, especially since the backlash. Liverpool fans basically got the board to apoligise, and I know several other clubs made a fuss about it, since it would absolutely kill football for me. I believe in grass roots football, and it's one of the things that makes it something to be passionate about. Theoretically, you can have teams make their way from the bottom of the pyramid, right up to the top. Now, these days we're seeing less of that due to the finances involved at the top, but like I said Leicester managed it recently, alright they did have quite a significant amount of money behind them, but nowhere near the likes of Man City.

I'm hoping the league becomes more strict on money being spent, but I'm not going to hold my breath that's for sure.

This does not work even in normal markets: no one will allow you to dump or profit from a monopoly position in a normal market. All players that harm the market itself are removed/penalized so that the market remains a market. Clubs that spend more than they earn harm not only themselves (no one cares about the owners and how they want to burn their money) but all other clubs - this is the main problem that needs to be solved.
Right. Although, at the moment it just doesn't get enforced enough. Unfortunately, I see it being enforced a lot less in the coming years, since we seem to be having more rich owners buy into the Premier League. I know we've had Man City, Liverpool, and United for a while now with decent sets of money. However, Liverpool never really competed with City or United in terms of finances. Now, we've got Newcastle who's basically got enough money to take the league by storm, and the only real limit for them, and City is the regulations, and they've been known to skirt around them too.

I don't like how football is changing, it used to be about the football, and the grass roots of it. So, basically any team could progress, and we have magic like Leicester winning the league for example. However, that's not going to be the case the more rich owners that come in, and spend a ton of money, which is what we're seeing in the last couple of years. I mean, Liverpool was up for sale for around 3-4 billion pounds. That's crazy, and who's going to be able to afford that or justify that, other than stinking rich, country sized companies or even countries themselves.

onwards, Chelsea is playing first match on Saturday, and they didn't conceived goal in last three fixtures, although last two finished as goalless draws, could we at least say that they fixed their defense now, and should work on attack Smiley
To be honest, our attack isn't a problem right now; we've fixed it with some of the world's best young players; our main concern now is keeping Kante and Kovasic fit enough to partner with Enzo in the midfield. West Ham are not in good form right now, and this is another opportunity for Potter to show us why he deserves our patience. With 98% of the squads available for the game, there is no excuse for him not to get a three-pointer against West Ham.

ETH has only been here for six months and has transformed Manchester United into a title contender; what else is Potter's excuse?

Just so you know, Manchester united are currently trailing by a goal thanks to Wilfried Gnonto's first minute strike but am optimistic to see a united comeback looking at how well the are playing & applying pressure on Leeds.
Odds are currently priced over 2.5 for a Manchester win but I will be putting in my  wager after 10minutes of the start of the second half maybe catch the game at 3 odds.

These second half of the premier league games are starting to be more difficult to predict and standings of the SB pool hasn't changed much either  Tongue
Well I was not even in the mood to response after losing a $100 bet. After the second goal I did not even watch the match. Turned off the Tele. Kept myself busy with some other things and wanted to forget about it. Checked the result on the phone 10 minutes after the match ended. Did not expect anything so it did not hurt a lot too. 😏

If I was gambling in live match then I would go with Utd to draw or win double chance. Hope you managed to win some.

The only good think was nobody score a point.
That's means I am still on the 12th place 😂

Manchester midfield was a disaster yesterday defending the fast transition made by Leeds.

They really miss Casemiro, Sabitzer plays good considering its his first match but they lack somethings. Leeds still the same team like ever, a disaster in defense and a bold fast attack.

I was put a 3-0 for Man utd and was rapidly destroy by a goal in the first minute of the game. The only good think was nobody score a point.

Man United losing 2-0 now and somehow buwaytress is the only one who getting right outcome on Superbru. Can see he hates United that much lol.

Not quite right buddy, we are catching up somehow. Damn Sancho scored a goal after getting back on the team, guess this will help him being more confidence in the upcoming games. Over 5 minutes to go including injury time, getting a draw is so much better than losing but if we can miraculously score another goal here than it would be fantastic

I do hate United, but that was just me aiming for a yellow cap. I'm so far down the ranks in this pool I'm no longer picking what I normally should. A bit idiotic as there's actually quite a lot to play for in Matchweeks but hey, I don't mind having a bit of fun.

Also, Sancho. I was this close to picking him on my FPL team actually!

Also, I didn't get any points for picking Leeds win -- and this is why you don't pick upsets all the time in this pool. The risk-reward simply doesn't encourage it!

Very very poor performance from United indeed. Also , it was such a long time ago since Leeds had a positive result with United but last night it should have been a W for Leeds , despite the fact that United had a decent game in 2nd half.


pure statistics, it is hard to beat one team twice in few days, so United could win last night, and draw in Leeds on weekend, or do the opposite, draw last night and win during weekend, which brings better odds for betting

Man united has been really poor in the midfield. The likes of Fred and Sabitzer have not been up to par, they really need to put themselves in positions to receive the ball from the defenders and distribute it forward but am not seeing that. I hope to see a lot of changes in the second from this Manchester united team.

I do hope they won't win the title this year and they will stop chasing after Arsenal because for me , it looks like an impossible job to catch them.

It's draw and no one gets it right lol.

Over 5 minutes to go including injury time, getting a draw is so much better than losing but if we can miraculously score another goal here than it would be fantastic

It really boosts his confidence indeed after didn't play any single game in last 15 matches, and the camera caught ten Hag smiling after that score, like a dad who proud of his kid. That's what would happen if a player trusts his coach and his decision. The other player went to a weird interview and now he plays in Saudi Arabia.

who could have expected a draw between Man United and Leeds that haven't been performing well lately, for a while I believed Man United were going to lose that game, even after Marcus Rashford scored a goal to bring them within just 1 goal, I still didn't see them getting back on level terms, but every substitution that Erik Ten Haag made also impacted the game positively and almost won them the game, but it can't be said that Leeds didn't at least deserved the point earned.

Yeah no one guessed the draw result but somehow buwaytress almost won it by guessing win outcome for Leeds even though the bad performance Leeds showed in previous games. I dont think Leeds performance getting improved, it's just the Man United defense players who lost of their concentration. I still think Wan-Bissaka is much better than Dalot referring to all of the games after World Cup. Luckily he didn't leave in the transfer window.

That is the beauty of the Premier League,there are no teams who cannot cause big surprises even to big names of this league.I agree with you that the changes the coach of Manchester United made changed the game positively for the team but what I want to say is that most probably this very same coach got it completely wrong the way he orchestrated the team when they started it.I think that this coach is not good enough for a team like Manchester United in the sense that this guy I am sure will not bring them very far in term of results.

To be fair, United deserved their point today. They played a lot better than Leeds and Rashford continued the streak with a really nice header.
Leeds should have defended way better in that situation though - it was a cheap goal to concede that completely turned the game around.

They will probably finish the season in a tough relegation battle, controlling such situations better in the future might be decisive in their fight to remain in the PL.

They had all the time in the world to go to 3-2 but no the curse of when we have only a single game in Premier League and a strong team is playing against a weak one is still with us,usually all the people bet on such team because everyone of us see this as a golden opportunity to make some money.The reality is once again that when such event is to be played they usually end in a draw or as in this case they even risked to completely lose the game.I am immediately reminded of the game not so long ago that ended 1-1 which was Crystal Palace vs Manchester United,again a draw.

This is some depressing reading regarding the state of LFC atm. At least Man Utd are losing tonight, mind you, the last laugh might be on us if they get Qatari owners whilst we’re stuck with broke ass FSG. I wish they’d sell up & get lost tbh.

Nearly HT and 1-0 Leeds, I still think United will come back & win this one though.

Yeah it was so quiet for Liverpool during the transfer window after Gakpo's departure. Though it's still better than Weghorst which I still have no idea why they sign him.
