City just tore them asunder and they were just toying with them towards the end playing keep-ball.United were grand until we scored, kinda went downhill a bit, we did seem to have a plan in the first half and were executing it.. there were still OK after City got the second but seemed that was a blow for them too.. second half United were dogshit and looked like Pep adjusted somewhat and United were chasing shadows for the whole second half. It was ridiculous and then when you see shit like above in real time, jaysus I nearly threw my phone out the window.. I'd love to sell them all and start from scratch! Maybe keep one or 2.

BBC Sport Wrote:The government says it will issue a special licence that will allow fixtures to be fulfilled, staff to be paid and existing ticket-holders to attend matches.
Season-ticket holders can still attend games for which they have tickets but the club cannot now sell any more tickets.
The club's merchandise shop will also be shut.

2 wins in 21 PL games (3 draws as well)
Frank Lampard proving once again he can't organise a defence - terrible decision to hire him.

I've nothing against Everton, they're one of those big teams that should always be in the Premier League imo. But I want to see any team with Lampard in charge suffer ongoing weekly humiliation and relegation every season he remains with them. Not that Leeds fans hold a grudge against Lampard or anything...

Dublin will most likely have most of the games but be great if they could get somewhere like Pairc UI Caoimh a game or two as well.There's some talk of they're being 32 teams, if so that would be 63 games.

Germany has ten venues for the next one, so if we had two you'd imagine that would mean about 20% of the games, so maybe 12 matches?

The article said Ireland would get a third of the games and they'd all be played in the Aviva and Croke Park, but only after both had significant refurbishment. We had tickets for two games in the last Euros, but obviously Covid put paid to that, so it would be good to get to some games if we go ahead and co-host it.

I'd be surprised if we got that many with 5 nations included in the bid. They would all want some games I'm sure with England getting the lion's share (no pun intended)

Long time ago now, and hard to judge on one match, but I went to the Champions League final there in 2005 and every aspect of the organisation was an absolute shitshow.
