Very funny situation where the ripple effect of the penalty shootout happens at different times on peoples phones at Spoons.

Remember the "burds can't take penalties" during the Euros?

Defensively it was a little shaky, very annoying that we have lost Colwill, hoping two of them can get a run of games going and form a decent partnership.

Fortunately we are still shaky enough in defence for me to think we’ll do something mad like win the league

Chelsea fan chant to Mike Maignan: "You're just a shit Robert Sanchez."

Maybe Milan are also terrible but I’m getting increasingly worried that we might be good

I invoke @ianbetteridge.com

Fundamentally they bought a club with zero debt that finished third while sanctioned, and that club is now 4th a 1bn+ in debt

Maybe it means Bayer Leverkusen will just be shit under Ten Hag more than Chelsea good.

I really don’t want to get carried away, it is pre-season, but they’ve been back a week and they’ve beaten a decent UCL side (and controlled most of the game) who have had a full pre-season.

Even before the goal he has looked good

The English goalkeeper evolution from being outjumped by 5ft Argentinians in 1986 to 2025 where we’re now innovators.

I would probably not buy a centre back unless you already planned to buy them in this window.

That could come into it, they’re going to spend over Β£200m on 3 decent but not world class forwards and have no UCL next season.

Fine with bringing him in but why not wait until the end of the window? Manchester United have no leverage here and they’ll get more and more desperate the longer it goes on.
