Rarely have I seen a manager being so protected like Ten Hag.
How in earth this guy still manages United is beyond belief...,

I'm not complaining, it's fun to watch.

Still I expect them to qualify - would love it for them to draw Inter in the next round.

Protected? The guy is getting absolutely slammed in the media. Glazier is probably trying to avoid eating the salary.

Glazers won't do a thing before Ratcliffe taking control of club's management. Club is basically on auto pilot now. Then it will be Ratcliffe decision how to deal with Ten Hag.

Any manager except Ten Hag would have sacked after their 7-0 lose to Liverpool. but Glazers are the real problem not him. i don't think so sacking him is gonna change anything and their fans know this.

Reading alot of Dutch media, they still regard him as a victim of the situation - my view on the matter is therefore biased.

Mari - Big news for the new Champions 24/25, the first with 36 teams:
League-winning teams and EuropaLeague-winning teams will NOT go to the 1st group.
In the 1st group there will ONLY be the winner of the Champions League together with the top 8 teams in the UEFA ranking.
Good news if true tbh. No more pot1 teams with bottom last quality bs.

New CL format is a complete joke.

36 teams, one giant league, 8 games in groupstage per team and only 12 teams goes out after the inital groupstage.

More games =/= more quality. UEFA is a joke.
More games = more money, which is sadly the only thing anyone cares about.

Teams will need 40-player squads ffs to compete in all these overlapping tournaments/leagues, international games... There should be a limit of games per season, you have 50 games per season and fuck off, tinker as much as you like with formats

This makes teams such as Roma/Lazio/Sevilla be more difficult for them to create a complete quality squad for all this games, unless Uefa gives them more money.

3 x 20 mins. :LOL:

I think Feyenoord-Atletico will be a proper fire tonight. Gimenez will be bought by Atletico 100% if he rapes them tonight. His big move exam.

Watching Meelan-Dortmund. This game could be way more open than the 1st game between them. Dortmund can`t lose this, imo they need to take out Loftus the big man and Giroud will starve .

Lazio needs to score. Draw won't do it much.

Immobile should just retire. No positive impact.

This group is really balanced bar Celtic. Feyenoord can win at home against Atletico tonight which will make Lazio's life difficult as they will have to defend a draw in Madrid.
