Been in the pub tonight, on one telly it was the Arsenal game, on the other telly it was the Bradford/Leeds game. To be fair the Leeds game was (in my opinion) the better game to watch? An unfair sending off (happened in the Arsenal game too), an amazing goal (Bradfords equaliser) and a flukey winner (take your pick, Arsenal or Bradfords goal) .
It's been a strange couple of days for football, the odds on MK Dons, Sheffield Utd and Sheffield Wednesday all to win must have been huge, MK Dons to win 4-0 was 500-1.
I didn't see the West Ham game but apparently we played a weakened side, not Sam Allardyces fault of course, but he played all of our new signings that haven't played before. Against a League 1 side. And we lost. But it was "affordable football" (for one game at least!!).
More shocking was the Utd result (sorry
@noblehead), there are huge problems at Old Trafford, Ferguson knew that which is why he left (my opinion, obviously), this is one of the richest teams in the world with a huge fan base. Who lost to MK Dons, actually, who were tanked by MK Dons. On the day that United panic bought Angel di Maria for £59.7 million, they got there arses handed to them. He must be so pleased he signed.......
Both West Ham and United have players who are paid tens of thousands of pounds a week to play football, both teams were beaten by teams whose whole squads cost less than one players annual salary.....
