Not really read anything particularly, but much like with United, he was heralded as the perfect replacement for Sky with the deep pockets to fund continued success.

It's more an observation that in the 5 years as Ineos, despite the budget being there, they've gone backwards and more or less abandoned the ethos that made them a great team in the first place. They've completely lost their identity. Maybe the riders aren't there but the whole mentality was to build a team capable of propelling the team leader to titles.

3rd sending off, will that be a 4 game ban now?

Gary O’Neill also being really shown up as not a very good manager.

One was rescinded (cos it was absolute bollox) and the other was against Porto (soft af).

So no!

Are you allowed to do this? I genuinely don't know if it's a foul

1 game ban so misses Newcastle along with Ugarte who is also suspended and the injured Mount.

Insightful comment from Amorim after the game: “It's so tough to win games in this league with 11 men. With 10 men, it's more difficult. We have to focus on that”.

Completely obstruct the goalkeeper? No.

Assuming both Wolves players are sandwiching him.

If its just the player in front holding his ground, it's fine

He's been playing well under Amorin tbf. It's only an extension, so nothing mental

They re-sign players like him and Amad in the window to make it look like they did something when we fail to get anyone in. There will be loads of bullshit about swap deals etc. Typical Glazer tactic

Another good game from Maguire, ditto De Ligt

It’s almost like when you play to players’ strengths, you get the best out of them!

Guardian have an article on this. While I think the whole 'place is a mess, have some pride' thing he got slated for right at the start was mental - he was spot on there. Some of the anecdotes are pretty damning.
