    I hate Man U and want to see them lose in as comical a fashion as possible - but I don’t know why?  Is this common?

    I think it's pretty common among people who grew up or got into football when Man U and their fans were lording over everyone.  I started watching in the late 90's when the games first started being shown on TV here in Canada and the bandwagon Man U fans were insufferable and the media were constantly fawning over them.  Beckham in particular I hated with a passion because of that

  2. Tottenham under Ange Postecoglu is going pretty much the way I expected Tottenham under Ange Postecoglu to go.  Exciting football, but concede a lot of goals and can't hold leads.  Good fun to watch, but they likely won't win any silverware

  3. Canada had a chance to make the semi-finals of the Nations League tonight by seeing the tie against Jamaica over the line.  We won the first leg in Jamaica 2-1 and held a 1-0 lead at halftime of the second leg.  3-1 up after 3/4 of the tie and looking good....

    Then we shat the bed.  Jamaica came out flying and quickly reminded everyone that Alastair Johnston is our only competent defender.  Leon Bailey hitting the bar should have been a warning sign to our interim coach Mauro Biello to make smart changes and do something to manage the game but that didn't happen and Shamar Nicholson punished us twice in the space of 5 minutes to level the tie.  Isma Kone put us back ahead before we conceded a penalty for a handball (which was a bit soft but a penalty by the letter of the law)  that was duly conceded by Bobby Decordova-Reid.

    Unfortunately for us, CONCACAF are again being late to realize that the away goals rule is bullshit and so we went out on the away goals rule.

    I am pretty frustrated right now at the spineless collapse
