Good win for Wolves today, hopefully they can get one more season out of Ruben Neves, which I doubt. But they have the foundations of a really good team, only needs a 20 goal striker and more depth.

Merge the League Cup with the Scottish and Welsh equivalents. Rename it the Britannia Cup. Invite Welsh and Scottish teams. Keep the same format, adjust for added places.

Every other World Cup should be hosted jointly in England and Scotland, with the opening fixture being a repeat of the world's first international, England vs Scotland, at The Oval. Let's be honest it's the only way Scotland are going to qualify now.

Sell Wembley and have the England national team tour the country. The match at Elland Road was ten times better than any match at Wembley, ever.

Return the Champions League to champion vs champion in knockout format, reducing the amount of games and no more bloated and boring group stages. If you want a European League competition do that with the Europa.

Hit Man City, Chelsea and PSG with £100bn fines. Bulldoze their stadiums if not paid within 7 working days. Use the money to invest in infrastructure and grass roots football around Europe.

These are my policies for football reform.

Me too. A few years ago I'd have wanted them out of it. Not any more.

For the title or this match? This is MU's most important game of the season against their biggest rivals, I don't see Liverpool winning. Expect a fantastic game either way though.

I don’t know about the title

I mean the match

Win probability for Liverpool 41%
Man U 31%
Draw 28%

Paying out at 240/100 a draw might be the best bet. They already have 11 draws combined. I hear what you’re saying about Manchester United because history has a way of making its way on the field (or pitch) in sports. Soccer is a bitch of a sport to bet on because of prevalence of draws. But I might have put a little something Liverpool. They’ve only given up 15 goals and Man U has 35. That’s a big defensive deficit.

~~Cuthbert~~ · 02-24-2019, 08:35 AM

MU have had two players go off injured already and Rashford looks dodgy too.

I think Liverpool have this. Those injuries have changed things.

Now my man Sturridge is coming on.

****ing draw

lol - I goddamn ****ing even said it might be the best bet but goddamnit if I knew it why didn’t I ****ing bet on it.

****!!!
