What if I told you the ref didn't even give a yellow? Wout wasn't seriously hurt because Sabitzer's leg was already coming back. Still makes it look a lot worse than it was.

I can tell United are actually playing somewhat decent football again because all of the conspiracy theories and absurd BS are coming out again.

Because this still image does not at all tell the story. He pulled back as soon as he made contact. Leicester players weren't even freaking out.

When it comes to sports, your options are 1) have your team suck and have everyone be glad you suck or 2) have your team be good and have everyone be mad that you're good.

would add in an option 3) have a mediocre team that gets bought and then have everyone hate you because of your new owners.

Apparently weren't ever for sale if you believe John Henry of FSG.

Some strong "Fine, I didn't like you anyway" vibes after getting rejected.

Yeah, everything is for sale if the price is right.

Edit - but it's fine really because now I can continue to keep a hard anti-sportswashing line without having to be introspective.

Oh, if the league buys the "yeah, we're a totally different set of Qatari royals" rationale, I'm sure there'll be another wave of purchases here in a couple years.

And I am in 100% agreement that ManU is a more valuable global brand than LFC.

What will be interesting is that this is a public company, unlike PSG, Man Dhabi, Newsaud United. They will have to actually have clean books, pay dividends, etc.

The difference is in a publicly traded company they actually have to file government paperwork every year and if you fake it you are going to get caught. And unlike FIFA, governments dont take kindly to fraud. Ask Juventus. Thats literally what got them in trouble.

Well! Since you explained to me what a publicly traded corporation is, I no longer have any concerns.

No new owner has to keep the club publicly traded. They could easily make a bid to take the club fully private after acquiring the class B shares. And if they run into obstacles taking it fully private (i.e. board and/or shareholders don't accept a "fair" offer), they could easily drive the shareholders away by, for example, cutting the dividend entirely.

I could see Ineos keeping it publicly traded but I doubt the Qataris would have any interest in keeping it on the NYSE.

I don't think it will be public traded after this. That was just a vehicle for some of the Glazer siblings to sell some of their holdings. I would expect the Qataris to buyout the NYSE holders and take ownership exclusively private.

Well, I say Qataris. Could be that Ratcliffe wins (who purportedly only desires majority rather than completely ownership). Could be Joel and Avram Glazer take really expensive hedge fund financing to buyout their siblings. Neither would necessarily require buying out the NYSE shareholders.

But let's be real, it's probably the Qataris.

Kids woke me up early. Pulled them in bed but they would not go back to sleep. So I got up and thought well at least there is the 6:30 kickoff…postponed because it was supposed to be Newcastle.

Leicester on the counter.

"Hey we have numbers. Let's stop at the top of the box and let arsenal regroup."
"Great idea!"

Arsenal are the better squad. But Leicester have made some absolutely daft decisions when they have had a chance.

Yeah. It's really good coaching to pull a player after one bad pass.

3 games. 6 teams. 90 minutes of soccer played. 0 goals. What a start.

Sorry. I just hate it when "fans" harp on one play. There's a reason why a match is 90 minutes.

Someone who knows the game better than me, what's the point of passing back to the keeper if he's just going to bomb it 60 yards down field for a 50/50 ball? And I know the difference between that and a clearance.
