Our resident Man Utd fan @roy11 might be able to enlighten us on their troubles It seems to me that they get a heap of possesssion but have issues in the front 3rd

Wolves winning gives the City rivals some real hope. Maybe the Sky Blues are starting to miss De Bruyne (occasionally) with his immense influence (as well as his brilliant partnership with Haaland) Those 2 are the best one-two punch in world soccer Man City are up against Leipzig, Arsenal, Brighton & Man Utd in the next month so they'll be tested (or not!)

Jones' foot passes over the ball and made aggressive contact to the leg of his opponent ... red card appropriate. At best it was poorly disguised. That sort of tackle can cause a lot of damage especially with studs up The Dias goal should have been allowed and not getting the graphics was a bit suspect (as it turns out, VAR didn't even intervene) Jota was extremely unlucky with the first yellow ... incidental contact to my eyes but when you're on a yellow card, you can't afford to tempt fate with a clumsy tackle But the Dias non goal was an absolute howler (the PGMOL have acknowledged that the goal should have stood ... initiating a full review - all too late) Klopp was exasperated about the non goal but didn't have much to say about the 2 players being sent off The own goal at the end was the cherry on top! A riotous affair!

@DeeSpencer @Dee Zephyr Get ya tips in!

Yet if Petty, JVR & Melksham were all available, we'd have been good to go We win at least 1 final with those 3 fit and firing ... adding Fritsch, Kozzie & Petracca of course. Gawn drifting forward occasionally to mix things up T-Mac probably wouldn't have been in the side and the only real issue would be fitting all 3 of the aforementioned into the team I don't generally like making excuses as we could have won either final anyway if we had our kicking boots on but structurally, we were cruelled by injuries to our forwards In fact, we did remarkably well with a makeshift forward line. Ordinarily, a top 4 team rarely, if ever, has a makeshift forward line

Imperatriz sets another track record in winning the Moir Stakes! Staying in Melbourne too bypassing the Everest. Next up the Manikato Stakes then the sprint on Champions day at Flemington What a star! Just cruised up and whoosho! Earlier, Amelia's Jewel won the Stocks Stakes in fine style ... so it's the Golden Eagle or the Cox Plate on the horizon (close enough to favourite in either race)

Don't know but Robert Harvey might have set the record for interviews In terms of walking into the cushiest coaching job, Chris Scott would have to be in front of the rest Craig McRae inherited a good list too. And Roos set things up in a reasonably good way for Goodwin Going right back, Big Nick taking over from Barassi?

I've structured my work arrangements so that I'm working for the entire match Hoping that the Lions win but can't bear to watch Collingwood play at all - full stop! I just detest them

More to the point is that there is more than one senior assistant type that we could look at ... or perhaps we will look at someone who is just an assistant that might be able to step up into the Yze role. Could it be someone from within like Chaplin? But again, how much influence and responsibility do these senior assistants have elsewhere? (the ones where the head coach is boundary-side) Our club itself may well know but what do we know? The appointment may well be an extremely important one as he'll be very likely the right-hand man to Goodwin (unless we go down a different path with Goodwin upstairs again)

Yes but the Tigers passed on him as their future head coach so he might have his limitations And there are quite a few head coaches that are on the boundary now so we may be looking at all the chief assistants that are upstairs So how many head coaches are boundary-side now?

All things considered, we are doing extremely well Decades in the wilderness with so many bottom 3 finishes meant that youngsters weren't going to be barracking for us. You've gotta win Our numbers are related to our miserable past ... 22 years without finals '65 to '86 really hurt. As did that horror stretch from '07 to '16. 32 years of misery means we are/were coming from a long way back However, despite all that we've now got 70,000 members and our crowd are very healthy By contrast, the Pies seem to always be in contention thus their huge numbers ... but in reality, we are not that far being them (again, all things considered) It's a bit of a pipe dream but 10 more years of finals with a premiership or 2 and our numbers will increase exponentially Again, it's all about winning

At issue is that we are in effect possibly in need of another head coach (type) Yze sitting in the stands with Goodwin on the bench points to an assistant like Yze would be making a lot of moves (or not) Maybe a lot of those moves are pre-planned but nonetheless, the type of assistant we might require isn't your normal run of the mill assistant Or, we might revert to Goodwin back up in the stands if we go down another path (a new, midfield coach being just that, a midfield coach only) It's all a bit vague though as we don't know how much responsibility Yze actually had

Lions have started well with a wide-open WR TD ... Packers look up against it already Edit: Halfway through the 2nd quarter and this is a rout! A shellacking! The Lions look really good but there's very little opposition

Matches to look out for this weekend Sat 4.30am Hoffenheim vs Borussia Dortmund Sat 5.00am Barcelona vs Sevilla Sat 9.30pm Aston Villa vs Brighton Sun 3.00am AC Milan vs Lazio Sun 3.30am RB Leipzig vs Bayern Munich Sun 3.30am Tottenham vs Liverpool (set your alarm!) Sun 6.00am Monaco vs Marseille Sun Midnight Nottingham vs Brentford Tues 6am Fulham vs Chelsea

Moir Stakes tomorrow night looks to be suited for 'Imperatriz' again but it's at very short odds. Whilst I reckon it will win again, Rothfire & Uncommon James represent the value. Maybe the exotics? Up in Sydney on Saturday there are 3 big Group 1's. 2 firm favourites in the Metrop & the Flight Stakes but lots of value in both races. The Epsom is a wide-open race Click on any of the links for the Previews Metropolitan Hcp Flight Stakes Epsom Hcp

In the end, we weren't going to play him so your explanation fits as the logical one, DC I suppose once we said to the bloke that we were going down a different path (Max as the main man with a bit of help from JVR/TMac) it was as good as over

Season definer for the NFC North tomorrow? (Lions @ Packers) The 188th time these 2 teams will be meeting so a storied history. A classic match-up (way back) but right now, both teams will be desperate to win to gain a break And here are 2 more game highlights from week 3 Giants @ 49ers extended highlights Eagles @ Bucs extended highlights .

Saints @ Packers extended highlights Broncos @ Miami extended highlights Colts @ Ravens extended highlights

Arsenal vs Tottenham extended highlights Liverpool vs West Ham extended highlights Atletico vs Real Madrid Barcelona vs Celta Vigo

Other than that, another tough week Leaderboard Tipping Comp 2 - DemonDave, Go the Biff, Dr. Gonzo, layzie, Clintosaurus, DeeSpencer 0 - Everyone else 🤔

Better the devil you know

Would they? We're talking sbout a highly intelligent and well educated group of people (umpires)

And in the coaches award Toby was 30 votes behind the winner (Butters) Interesting that the next 5 in the coaches award filled the top 5 in the Brownlow ... in fact the top 6 were the same 6 for each award
