    No complaints for me today.

    United 4-0
    Arsenal (LOL) 0-1

    Life's good. I hope today signifies that Martial gets some starting minutes. He's been killing it so far by just keeping it simple. Pogba is better 10 for us than holding mid. Play Herrera there and drop Mata to the bench. Rashford has been decent but he's going through the Ronaldo phase of development right now. He needs to look up more.

    ---------Herrera---------Matic----------
    Mkhi-----------Pogba----------Martial/Rashford
    ------------------Lukaku------------------

    EDIT: Arsenal Fan TV is golden right now

    Isn't Man City supposed to be the same town rival? Why Arsenal? Because of the Wenger and Mourinho beef?

    City don't play till Monday and Arsenal Fan TV is a Youtube Gold Mine after Arsenal lose.

    In terms of which domestic teams that I, as a United fan, hate the most: Liverpool, Leeds, City, Chelsea, Arsenal

    Never gonna happen. This gets brought up every window! No one wants to play for a half empty stadium.

    Yup but Barca was never this historically weak and the transfer window has brought back nothing major. And internal turmoil within the management to boot.

    In the long run he might not retire there, also depends on guys like Iniesta perhaps not retiring there.

    The buyout clause is nothing.....like Neymar's.

    They'll probably kick out the board first before letting the likes of Messi leave. And yeah, their signings have been largely underwhelming for the most part. Paulinho LOL...

    I saw a bit of the City game and their problem isn't the attack. It's Pep. Dude has some weird-ass tactics that isn't paying off right now. Sane at LWB?

    This, I don't see Messi ever leaving for another European club. Think he'll maybe play for Newell's (his youth club) before retiring, but that's it.

    I hate these Messi rumors so much, they pop up every transfer window and are always utter nonsense. They even spilled this crap when Guardiola joined Bayern and made up some lies about Adidas paying for him.

    He's probably the best coach in regards to taking individual players to the next level, evaluating talent and doing creative practice drills.

    But in-game, he's being outcoached quite often and never shows any ability to adapt to the opponent or evolve his gameplan.
    Extremely overrated coach and benefited from Barca's once in a generation roster quite a bit.

    Will continue to impact our fantasy season but even with Pep, Man City should have scored at least 1 more goal.
