Embarrassing the Sancho loan is. Man Utd sign him for £75 million. 2 and half years later loan him back to Dortmand for £3 million but are still paying £100k a week. So we're basically getting £1 million for a 5 month loan.
I hope he never plays for Utd again, you just no ETH will get sacked by next season, new manager comes in and gives everyone a 'clean slate' rinse and repeat.

Is he not on 300kpw?! I heard Dortmund were paying about 100k of that.
And there it is already, striker jumps kinda into the Burnley keeper in stoppage time, the keeper goes down like a poof and VAR says "no foul".
I do think keepers are over protected, and yer man makes a proper meal of it. But compare that level of contact to the Bruno pen. The consistency is the problem
….role on this weekend and VAR is involved with a similar incident and no pen is given.@weasel

Yeah he's on £300k a week and Utd are paying £100k of that.
Nice wee dive by Sterling yesterday. So out of character for him too. The same as Jota and Fernandes, there may be minimal contact but he CHOSE to go down and that should not be a penalty. That's a yellow card. No way was there enough force there to knock over a grown man. As I keep saying, it's a contact sport, contact does not equal a foul.
Your Chelsea boy, Gusto?, was ****ing lucky not to get sent off for that. IMO it's a red all day long. It was quite similar to the Curtis Jones tackle earlier in the season, there was no intent, but it was studs on shin and could have been a leg breaker. He had to go. I will be disappointed if that isn't upgraded, or at least PGMOL don't come out and say it should be.
I think he's already had a 3 game ban as well. Yet again, the inconsistency is the thing that pisses you off the most. Red card one week, yellow the next.
I did feel sorry for Newcastle losing so late to City yesterday. You suspect if they didn't have so many injuries that Eddie Howe would have made changes 25mins out, but if City hadn't won that game it would have been daylight robbery. They toyed with Newcastle in the first half. The fact Newcastle went in ahead at HT, was comedy. The second half was just backs to the wall. Newcastle defended quite well but City were never out of their half. I think Newcastle had three chances in the whole game. City definitely deserved it. Much as it pains me to say it.
Nice to see KDB back, he is a class act, and one of few footballers who doesn't strike me as a complete bell end. But him back in a City side isn't good news for the rest of the league. Cue City winning 16 on the spin now

Just seen Villas's goal in the first half ruled out by VAR. Am I missing something or was it a foul?
I fancy Utd to beat Spurs today, Maddison and Son will be hugely missed and Spurs play a high line that will suit Man Utd. Can even see Rashford scoring! Mind you this Utd side is always on the brink of getting smacked up. So I'm not confident at all.

I saw it live and I THINK it was disallowed for offside, but I was saying in real time that it had to be disallowed cos the Villa striker is holding the Everton defender and stopping him getting out, thus allowing yer man to look possibly onside. Knowing VAR they disallowed it for a hand ball in the warm up.
Either, it was the correct decision IMO
You got Rashford scoring correct, though from what I saw of the game, Spurs were the better side.

Oh ok, didn't really know what was going on with the Villa game, sound was off.
I kind of saw the Utd game, think Spurs were unfortunate in the second half and who would have known they score 2 goals, 1 from a set piece and the other because they walked through the Utd midfield.
Glad Hojland scored, he actually scored the only chance he got which was a Rashford shot that randomly bounced to him. He is literally the only forward from the front 3 that passes. I saw an interesting stat, Hojland is the least passed to forward in the PL. And Roy Keane was having a pop at him before the game for not doing enough!! Nothing about Rashford being 7 years older than him and on £350k a week and being far worse than Hojland this season. But he came through the academy so he gets a free pass.

Yeah, I have seen similar stats that highlight just how little service Hojlund gets. I still dunno what to make of him (or Nunez) but I dunno if he (or Nunez) will ever look like value for the money. They are by no means donkey's in the Andy Carroll mold, there is definite potential in both, but the jury is still out for me.
And from memory Rashford is on more than Salah, and has been for a few years. Who would you rather have?
Forest and Everton chsrged with breaking FFP regs. From the little I have heard you are allowed to over spend by 105m in a 3 yr period and Everton have been charged for a period that includes two years of the three year period they have already had a pts deduction for. Rules are rules and they broke them, but to penalise them twice in one season for breaches over a preceding four year period does seem harsh.
I guess the counter argument comes from sides who feel they went down as a result of Everton breaking the rules.
Chelsea must be treading an incredibly fine line and City ehhh…….

I think Hojland will be a star, he's only 20. I actually think Nunez is decent, can't compare them IMO.
Yeah I also see Newcastle have said they won't be signing anyone this January to stay with the FFP rules. Just goes to show how Man City have cooked the books.

I'm only comparing them in terms of broadly equal transfer fees and both being strikers. Clearly Nunez is better 
.
City inflated their income which allowed them to spend more. Their owners also own the firms who sponsor them. "Naming rights for the stadium, sure, 600m. I know no one else gets more than 50m but sure."
The others are just over spending. So City's is a bit more complicated or sneaky which is why they haven't been shafted yet. Chelsea seem to be spending over 5 (previously 8) yrs budget now. They are ****ed if their signings flop and then refuse to leave.

I would agree Nunez is doing better than Hojland for now. 
One things for sure, Hojland would have more PL goals this season if he was in that Liverpool team.

Stupid. He looks finished at WHU now.
