Martinez is a very good and solid goalkeeper and most of us thought he was going to be transferred to Manchester United during the last days of the transfer window but we did not see that happen, best known to the Manchester United why they did not go for him. I know the management are aware Onana will not be there that he was going to leave for another club, why they didn't go for an experienced Martinez is still what is shocking me now.

But seriously Manchester United have not shown any seriousness so far this season from the three matches they have played apart from that of Arsenal that they played well, or was it because it was Arsenal and they are a big team too. I thought Manchester was going to comeback and win because of the way they were playing against Arsenal but at the end it ended in a loss for them, but overall they really impressed lots of us even though they lost. After that match, Manchester United returned to default settings. Their last two games were not impressive.

I was watching the match and wondering if this is a match between two top teams that spent millions of pounds in the transfer window to get the kind of players that were in that very pitch that day. Arsenal was in control of the match and Liverpool were mostly playing to prevent Arsenal from scoring while they were not making any serious attempts to score. It ended with Arsenal being the better team in the first half. At the end Liverpool scored the all important goal to win.

Old statistics are very important in every game even in the gambling industries, it's the old statistics coupled with the current form of the team that's used to determine the kind of odds that's given to every team. Sometimes you wonder why a team that's in form and maybe at the top or second position of the league is playing against a team that's maybe in 14th position. Naturally you will think that the team at the top is supposed to get an odd that's not more than 1.50 odds but you start seeing something like 2.25 odds or even 3 odds and the team that's occupying the 14th position is having like 1.98 odds or 2.10 which is less than the top teams own. It's because the statistics shows that the team that's in 14th most of the time beats that team in top position irrespective of the form that particular team.

Crystal Palace acted like, no Eberechi Eze no problem. I was just shocked at the score line not really that Crystal Palace won but without conceding a single goal against Aston Villa at home, that's the part that surprised me the most. 3 goals to nothing, I really wonder if he will be getting the regular playing time he used to get for Crystal Palace in his new team Arsenal. His no longer the main man in his new team and I feel that might affect him a little, because coming from a team were you know that you're dependent on and going into a team where others comes first before you might have some certain effects on him

Congratulations to you on your win, Inter Milan really messed up big time. They were leading but conceded the equaliser as if that wasn't enough for them, they conceded another goal all in the first half. In the second half they failed to comeback, they managed to score a goal that was later cancelled by VAR and after that no goal from either side and that was his they lost the game thereby killing several tickets that people played them to win.

From here we go to here he goes. This is so funny, just after 3 matches incharge of Bayern Leverkusen his been sacked, this I can say was never expected so soon. I wouldn't have believed it if I was told that Ten Hang will be sacked just after three matches. Will I be wrong if I say his had the shortest managerial career in recent years. I wonder who will hire him now that his been sacked within the shortest possible time by a club.

@PowerGlove sorry to ask, did you by any means have issues with family at home or did your wife denied you of your bed duty?
Don't you think the restriction could be much on us? Currently the system is even more tougher for newbie like us to grow up and yet people are sourcing for me strict measures to make people suffer on the forum, so where is the freedom we are talking about were people wouldn't be able to grow as usual or have free mind to post without being scared of law that would hold them if they make any slightest mistake. Your proposal seems fine but I don't think that should be implemented rather I am more good this current restriction where one needs to put more effort to earn more merits and grow to their required rank, I think this is more of scaring newbies or people away from this forum since there are many laws that governs the forum.

Hey @Shadiq nice initiatives and I am proud of you all that are finding their ways to make sure our 9ja local board becomes a place to be admired by other local board, in fact, if i am not mistakenly this is what people do say that we are living by example which other can also emulates from us without even giving it second thoughts.

Anyway, I am also using the medium to reserve a spots, I would come here and edit to submit my entries when I might come with fruits over here.

I only watched the first half and part of the second half before I left the place I was watching the match. Arsenal really played well in the first half, I was looking and waiting for Liverpool players to make the game more interesting as Arsenal were mostly all over them but it didn't happen. Arsenal will have used that first half they were in control to score a goal or two but they failed to as Liverpool contained them very well. Not too long after I left, I started hearing shouts, I just knew that one team had scored, I checked it was Liverpool. This was a match I was expecting them to play draw since either team has refused to score a goal earlier on.

Garnacho has attitude problems? I didn't know of this or better still I have not observed it from him. Garnacho even in this worse form is better than Mount in my books, he can open up spaces and at the same time a better footballer than Mount. I wonder why Amorim will chose to keep Mount and sell players like Garnacho and Rashford who are both better than Mount. Maybe as you said that he has attitude issues but seriously, I have not observed it maybe it's because I don't really follow Manchester United like that.

Very boring match in this Arsenal and Liverpool match, I was never expecting what I am seeing from this game, it's even Liverpool own that's the worse, over 30 minutes and Liverpool are still invincible in the game, it's only Arsenal that's doing all the play but they took seem not to even know were the goal post is at. The match hasn't electrified yet and I'm wondering if this is Anfield that the match is going on right now.

Chelsea has confirmed that their deal with Manchester United concerning the signing of Garnacho has pulled through and Garnacho is ow a Chelsea player. For now Manchester United are still 9th on the table pending when other teams like Manchester City and Crystal Palace who has 3 points will play tomorrow, a win for them will mean that Manchester United will still drop from that position they're occupying nowt Garnacho move has made him move from 9th to 1st position without even kicking the ball.

I don't even understand what's happening with this Atletico Madrid team anymore, I was thinking that this new season will be different from last season but it now looks like their last season starts is better than this season's start. Three matches played so far and they have not won one, one loss and two draws, all is not not well with the team as of now..

They really got lucky, Manchester United is too sloppy. They are not playing like a team that playing for a club that has made it's name, I don't know if they do not realise the badge they are playing for. Sometimes I wonder if truly this is Manchester United. Let's assume they scored that third goal earlier than that injury time which they scored it, I am very sure that Burnley would have equalised the goal again as they did the previous two goals earlier on in the game.

Him been on the bench will totally depend on his performance for the team, if he performs well, Conte will use regardless of whether Lukaka is fit or not. If he doesn't perform well and Lukaku comes from injury to perform well then Conte will not hesitate to drop him off the starting eleven, it's just that simple. The coach cannot use because of his transfer fee to gamble with the matches he has ahead of him. To most Manchester United fans, he failed at the club, I just hope he gets his form here in Napoli, at least his playing with champions of the league.

Keep calm man, you don't need to tell him to write an essay on this, he just aired his view based on what he saw and again he tends to agree with what one of the leagues ref said about the match. I believe if what happend was flipped, you as a Chelsea fan will definitely say these things he just said. You must know that in every game, there's no way people won't complain about one thing or the other.

UEFA has issued Barcelona a firm ultimatum to Barcelona to resolve their financial plans for the 2025/26 Champions League. The club has faced significant challenges in completing the first phase of renovations of the Camp Nou, struggling with construction delays and pending clearances. UEFA has issued a directive, setting September 21st as deadline for Barcelona to confirm their home stadium for the Champions League group phase. If they pick a particular stadium, they must stick to it at least till after the group stage phase as UEFA prohibits mid-phase venue shift.

I think it's time for him to close the curtains, he has tried and written his name on the list of managers that matters in history. His triumphs won't be forgotten so easily and will stay a long long time in the football history books. If he stayed for 15 months, then it simply means that his been there for more than a year, if he was unsuccessful in this period, then the club tried to have retained him that long.
