And the two penalties and freekick along with Ozil playing Messi through on goal being disallowed. Eriksen misses the next three games but meh, the best team won.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
feck off, load of bollox
I'll buy you know who
7-0 easy peasy
he is unhappy as you want to sell him
Guys, Damo lost 2 consecutive matches. Let's keep the squad limit as it is, OK? 
Ozil is jinxed and no we want fairness and lumping tthe 40k stadiums in with a 70k+ stadium is not fairness, it would be like lumping every other group in the 40k group and having damo on his own the gap is that big in our group.Guys, Damo lost 2 consecutive matches. Let's keep the squad limit as it is, OK?
What myself and @MJJ where thinking was to amalgamate the 30 and 40K groups and then add in an idea @RedSky had but give it to the 30Ks instead which was they would get 52 players in an amalgamated group 2 tier group but a fair group.
I'll have a look tomorrow. How about you list all the clubs in the 45 ffp cap with their stadium sizes so we can make a better judgement on the issue.

I'm so sorry christy. Saw you went offline so thought you had gone to bed.In fairness you've got Leeds which I forgot about
Interesting seeing the teams planning on expanding. In a few years time there'll probably only be Aston Villa, Everton and Leeds in the low 40k. Rest will be high 40s with most mid 50k+
and there is talk of Chelsea using Wembley while the bridge is being redeveloped, where else are they going to go in London.
Holy shit, so you could be having the stadium with the highest capacity for a while!
But yeah there's no other viable candidate. There are a few clubs near them but their capacities are 25k or lower (Fulham, QPR etc)
The deal with them possibly using Wembley is for most of the season they would have no access to the top tier so 60k capacity but when some of the big teams play them they could be open, Wembley has something like 60 full stadium events a year the rest are restricted,but yeah SM would probably leave it as 90K.
Yeah it makes sense to have some sort of cap for most of the time so not as many stewards will be needed. It'd be a bit of a logistical nightmare if every game could have 90k capacity.
CULLEN RETURNS TO FOOTBALL MANAGEMENT!
In the least anticipated managerial appointment of the season, Jakec has made the decision to come out of retirement joining Cardiff City, citing "My laptop just packed in, and I can't stand football manager handheld, so this really is my last resort."
The once relevant poster who is now perhaps best known for asking vague questions in the random chat thread and getting warnings for publicly asking for streams in match threads returned to soccer manager with a 2 0 win against Middlesborough. "I'm fairly happy with the performance, but any team that Lee Cattermole is able to play a starting role in is nothing to be excited about."

Next time you are making a bid for a player hit the undisclosed option, i think its a red x it will change to a green tick and it located below the players offered on handheld things.
Tore Sunderland a new one 
So looking at that... we have 3 options.
1. We change the FFP for clubs 40k - 50k
2. We include Newcastle in with above and have say a 55k+ limit
3. We do nothing and the top clubs can continue to moan

The current rules are fine.
Don't quite understand each option.
You change for 40-50k by increasing their allowance or decreasing? I thought the whole exercise was to change it for United who get much more revenue from matchday than others.
How about doing it on average attendance rather than stadium size?
Code:
Team Average Attendance
Manchester United 75,831
Arsenal 60,338
Manchester City 46,625
Newcastle United 46,238
Liverpool 43,630
Chelsea 41,706
Aston Villa 39,088
Sunderland 38,628
Tottenham Hotspur 35,966
Everton 35,724
West Ham United 33,663
Wolves 29,930
Blackburn Rovers 28,954
Nottingham Forest 28,304
Stoke City 28,146
Southampton 27,963
Fulham 26,431
Queens Park Rangers 24,992
Milton Keynes Dons 21,110
Darlington 1883 18,049He's got the mighty Potters on thursday, so normal service will resume I fear...Guys, Damo lost 2 consecutive matches. Let's keep the squad limit as it is, OK?
I've started well enough, but don't have the depth for a sustained season of good results...
Average attendance is tough, as it changes depending on the clubs league form and position. It would mean adjustments every so often.
Manchester City fully supports proposal 3 of doing nothing.
Indeed. When I was crap two seasons ago (when, funnily enough there were no complaints about my stadium capacity) I was a lot lower on the average attendance thing.
I think the current rules are fine, though I'll be seen as biased. Won't be long before City have the third highest stadium capacity and a few other clubs will be increasing their capacity too though it'll be happening over a longer period.
With the signing of Ozil, it won't be long before I'm out of the top four and my income is no longer the highest anyway.
Leave Damo alone
European Roundup
Champions Cup:
Champions Cup:
- Group A: Manchester United qualify as group winners with two games remaining
- Group B: Newcastle United qualify with just one point needed to win their group
- Group C: Sunderland are bottom of their group, three points behind second
- Group D: Chelsea are third on goal difference in their group
- Group A: There are two English teams in this group but both Darlington 1883 and Stoke City are third and fourth respectively, one point behind second place
- Group B: Nottingham Forest are knocked out with just one point from four games
- Group C: Milton Keynes Dons have qualified, despite there not being a (q) symbol beside their name and are pretty much certain to be group winners
- Group D: Arsenal have also qualified, despite there not being a (q) symbol beside their name and have a chance of winning their group
- Group E: Manchester City are second with a decent chance of qualifying. They do need to beat Genoa in the next matchday to have the slightest chance of finishing top
- Group F: Queens Park Rangers top their group
- Group G: Tight group with Fulham being second and just two points ahead of third. All to play for though as first has the same number of points and same goal difference as them
- Group H: Tottenham Hotspur will finish either first or second
The Geordies having great craic in Europe. Some of the topless beerbelly fans have a nice tan

Yeah Marseille will struggle next season I think. I really hope N'Koulou/Mendy and Thauvin gtfo.
I hope they don't so we can suffer together.
Looks like N'Koulou will probably go to Lyon. He was linked with West Ham in December but no links since. Shame.
