You want to do it personally?

So whose got it at City then?

Ederson, Walker and Jesus?

All back for the Derby?

Mendy also had a party by the sounds of it

Greedy @#%&!s.

They're too busy scouring through every United player's social media accounts looking for the slightest non-politically correct phrase.

why are they greedy @#%&!s? You keep saying lockdown and restrictions are a pile of %@#$&!s. Would have thought you'd be on the EPL's side?

I don't know what to think anymore to tell you the truth.

pretty amazing how city were able to field a team against Chelsea just a couple short days after calling off their game against Everton

Isn't that what they are doing in the rugger? No chances, you can't control your players you lose the points.

The world would be a much better place if more people would admit to this

Boris could put an end to this very shortly, the @#%&!.

Premier League chief executive Richard Masters has issued new guidance for clubs and players amid the growing number of coronavirus cases in England.

In particular, there was a warning around goal celebrations and players avoiding mass huddles.

But there was one at Turf Moor after Paul Pogba's match-winner and I asked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer about the issue in his post-match press conference.

"Football is an emotional game and we have to understand the players when they celebrate but we also understand the concern nowadays for a bit of less emotions and less hugging. But it's difficult.

"Football brings out the best and worst in you. When you score you want to celebrate with your team-mates. We'll do our best to keep with the guidelines and carry on safely. Mentally for people, football is a relief but we understand the situation the country is in."

No celebrating allowed

They are not happy after last night

"manchester united cause covid crisis"

imo they should keep masks in their socks and get red cards if they don't put them on prior to celebrating a goal.

They spend all day together inside. On the pitch is nothing. It's all bullshit to get zombies at home in line. If it wasn't on tv they'd not mention it.
