News

• Guardiola says Bournemouth are best attacking team he has played against. Says #mcfc's other opponents have "just used the long ball." Ouch. I'm glad for Howe, I guess?


• #Skripnik has been dismissed with immediate effect, #Nouri will take over on an interim basis. More info to follow. It begins...


• FIFA planea aumentar el Mundial de Clubes a 16 ó 32 equipos FIFA must be stopped. Looking to expand teams from 16 to 32 in the Club World Cup (rumour has it that the Chinese are pushing for this)

Premier League


Match Pictures
Leicester 3- 0 Burnley

I expected Burnley to give up more of a fight

I'm not a fan of the shoving that Slimani does. I hope he gets a red card for his trouble

Hull City 1- 4 Arsenal

Cech talking to his defender

Xhaka came off the bench and scored a beauty

Why can't I find action photographs

Oh, never mind

Manchester City 4 - 0 AFC Bournemouth

KDB is in fine form.

What's this nonsense about goalies wearing short sleeves? Hmmph!

Nolito got sent off

Guardiola said that Cherries were the best team his side has played against all season so far. Is he taking the p*ss?

Wilshere played the full match. Had second fewest touches on the ball. He needs to get accustomed, fast

Everton 3- 1 Middlesbrough

Gareth Barry celebrated his 600th appearance for Everton!

Everton really lucked out in getting Koeman (okay, they threw money at him like a drunken lout at a strip bar), but still! Everton is looking so much better on every metric

Middlesbrough got a consolation goal

West Bromich Albion 4- 2 West Ham United

I have no sympathy for West Ham at this conjecture, tbh. Gold, Sullivan and Brady - UGH. May the stadium deal forever be a shambles

Chadli left Spurs for first team football. Scored a brace

Bundesliga

Match pictures

Borussia Dortmund 6- 0 Darmstadt

Dortmund had a romp

Just loads of hugs and affection

The yellow wall

Borussia M'Gladbach 4- 1 Werder Bremen

Nice! Great result for Hazard and co

Bayern Munich 3- 1 Ingolstadt

Lewandowski scores. Again

Hmmm

Sanches! I'm surprised the footie fandom haven't taken him to their hearts tbh

Ingolstadt tried to hang in there, but...

Alonso still Alonsoing

La Liga

Match Pictures
Leganes 1- 5 Barcelona

Barcelona on form, gotten over their temporary set back

Messi leaving the goalie face palming on the ground

Atletico Madrid 5- 0 Sporting Gijon

Just pictures of self congratulatory stuff, tbh

Torres scored!

Grezi got a brace. Supposedly his new release fee is €100 million. Word has it that Simeone is looking to move on at the end of the summer. If he moves, Greizmann might move too.


OP: experimenting with format layout for Champions League, Europa League and the weekend matches, if it's odd and not easy to read, can you tell me, please?

OP: Done! Cheers, jeers, and the rest of it! You know the drill!
