If they weren’t an enormous part of the problem.

Coaches refusing to understand when it doesn’t make sense to risk their most valuable assets is just baffling to me.

Looking at you, top 6 teams playing starters against League 2 sides in domestic cups.

Nice win at the San Siro. Can do no worse than finish #2 overall but to do that they would have to have Bayern win out, then they would have to drop points at home to last place Kairat and give up a 8 goal margin as Arsenal won H2H.

Manchester United wins the Manchester Derby. City could be 9 points back if Arsenal were to win at Forest.

Callum Wilson may have just got Thomas Frank fired as WHAM! beat Spurs in extra time.
