I've got Joao Pedro, Palmer and Sanchez so not great but not disastrous so far. I think Potter will
go too and it does look as though Forest will be needing a new manager soon as well, I heard Postecoglou's name mentioned earlier for that one.

Not sure who on here is a Crystal Place fan but as a fanbase they have been so classy about Eze leaving.

Lots of fans being interviewed- they wished him well-acknowledged it was a step up for him with CL etc and were proud of him. Holding up signs thanking him. Hoping for an England boost for him. Proud to see him realise a dream of his.

So refreshing after so many spats and keyboard warriors across the transfer window being negative and nasty and just wanted to acknowledge CP and how how refreshing it is!!

Check out the tiny pitch invader 😂

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 22/08/2025 21:42

Ohh wow so many fans have left!

Ohh wow so many fans have left!

That is normal at Old Trafford of course, the tourists don't want to miss their flight home.

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 22/08/2025 21:48

Tbh after the first goal thought this be one of those games. Nice it hasn't been! Still look bit shakey at the back though..Sanchez still wonder about him.

Postecoglou and Marinakis would be a sight to behold! I mean it would either work brilliantly or it would fail spectacularly and my vote is for the latter!

Nottingham Forest have a owner problem

Yes, I wonder how long Edu will stay there.

Tarkan · 22/08/2025 22:17

I was chaperoning at theatre tonight so took my Chromebook along to watch the match. Someone turned the router off when it was still only 3-1 and I think they did me a favour. All the fans that were yelling for us to get Potter as manager are the ones shouting for him to go now.

burblish · 23/08/2025 13:33

Cor, the prospect of being offered in part-exchange for Eze seems to have lit a bonfire under Richarlison's arse!

DuncinToffee · 23/08/2025 14:12

I highly rate Thomas Frank, would have loved him at Everton.

As I said he was my pick for a redemption season and I stand by it.

Still anything can happen in a Spurs match in 15 minutes!

@Tarkan would you want Santos because I imagine he may well be available right now. Not sure how happy Glasner is with the Palace board either

Me, too - excellent manager and also seems like a really decent bloke.

Spurs were very good indeed today and deserved to win by a bigger margin.

Actually, it looks like Nuno has fallen out with Edu.

outofdate · 23/08/2025 17:56

Bit of a statement from Spurs today. They looked such a well- balanced confident team.

TheNewGaard · 23/08/2025 17:58

Dirty Leed living up to their nickname so far...

Cuwins · 23/08/2025 17:58

My DD 3 years old is paying attention to the game on the TV (arsenal v Leeds) for the first time really and so far I have tried to explain the roles of: ref, goal keeper, ref assistant, manager. Plus why the team where the same colours and goalkeepers different colours, what a free kick is and what the numbers on their back mean.
However she is still adamant it’s boring

Brefugee · 23/08/2025 18:19

your DD needs to buck her ideas up!!

TheNewGaard · 23/08/2025 18:39

Gyökeres scores!

DuncinToffee · 23/08/2025 18:42

He and Rice are in my team, I really need the points

FFS! Injury central again

I will get her there… probably- her dad doesn’t like football and also thinks it’s boring so I’m hoping she will take after me

Tiswa · 23/08/2025 18:49

FPL wise I need an Arsenal clean sheet - always have Raya and Saliba it’s a win win either Arsenal concede or I get lots of point

@TheNewGaard absolutely the worst timing for you if Odegaard and Saka are out even if nothing serious it is probably after the international break given how they went off which means Anfield missing

ThisCharmingMum · 23/08/2025 18:58

Mind if I join in folks? Season ticket holder at Old Trafford here. I go with my 2 DS (DH and DD not football fans).

Was browsing MN for something else and came across this thread!
