On 15 March 1939 Hitler and his deputy summoned the Czech President to Hitler’s residence in Berlin and then bullied him to submitting to a German invasion of his country. They drove him to the point of physical collapse, threatening him until he eventually signed his country’s death warrant.

We are an utter shambles of a football club on and off the pitch. Onana shouldn’t play for us again, dreadful goalkeeper

Outstanding knock from Ibrahim to get Afghanistan to 325. Question surely over the inability of England to take control of the middle overs. Constantly let games drift away from them in the 20-45 over period, and the captaincy is questionable.

Yup.

Our defending is atrocious. Defenders just watching balls drop and not clearing it. Onana so poor too both in terms of shot stopping and distribution. Genuinely fortunate that Leicester and Ipswich probably aren’t good enough to win more games. #MUFC

Shamrock Rovers on the end of some questionable refereeing decisions this evening, both on field and by VAR.

Juventus look miles away from the team that did for Inter at the weekend. They look all at sea in defence. #PSVJuventus

Devastating for Celtic after a fantastic performance against Bayern. Poor night for York City too away at Barnet in top of the table clash.

Well if there was an example of an inspired substitution… that was it… Lookman within a minute. #AtalantaBrugge

Atalanta falling apart here. Dreadful defending for both goals. #AtalantaBrugge

Theo Hernandez at fault here if Milan exit the UCL. Ridiculous to dive when on a booking. Deserved red card. #MilanFeyenoord

This England tour of India has been a disaster. Poor selections, ill-timed shots, no game management, dreadful bowling plans and poor captaincy. Questions to no asked, and answered, of Buttler, McCullum and Key.

United observations from the last few weeks. Some players look petrified of playing forward passes. The whole balance of the team is impacted by playing inverted wing backs and inverted wide forwards as it makes the pitch too narrow. It clogs up the middle making it easy to defend against. #MUFC

Desperate for Amorin to do well, but he doesn’t help himself playing inverted wing backs. Play the wing backs on their natural side. Inter excel doing it (last night aside), and it provides more balance. #MUFC

Outstanding performance from La Viola. Kean fast becoming the signing of the summer. Fiorentina heading for the champions league hopefully. #FiorentinaInter

As for United… the less said the better. Club needs an overhaul, starting with the Glazers and Ratcliffe being removed. The fish rots from the head.

Some going from England to get bowled out in 10.2 overs… some dreadful shots, dreadful bowling and questionable team selection and captaincy.

@thecricketdraft.bsky.social Any thought as to doing an IPL version? Lot of work I imagine given the squad size, but thought I’d ask!

Bayinder’s last few performances should see him given a longer run in the team. Looks solid, good quick distribution and made some decent saves this evening again. #mufc

That Dalot goal is precisely where the wing backs should be in this system. #mufc

@adamsummerton.bsky.social Some of these United players need to spend a couple of days watching Inzaghi’s Inter, particularly how Di Marco, Dumfries, Darmian and Augusto operate as wing backs. Far too many square passes across the back 5 and midfield.

@adamsummerton.bsky.social Great comms tonight, as usual Adam. What a game! Forza la viola 🟣🙌

Absolute crazy finish at the Olimpico!! Great resilience from La Viola to hold on to the win against Lazio! 💜💜 Smash and grab win for United too at Fulham. 🔴⚪️⚫️ What a Sunday evening!!

Watching the United and Fiorentina games at the same time! The latter has had more entertainment in 17 mins than the former. Great start for La Viola, 2-0 up 💜

So disappointing that a huge game like Napoli v Juventus is nowhere to be seen on UK tv this evening. Last season every game was live and superb viewing.

Good game this between PSG and City. 30 minute shoot out now.

Just an idea of what's happening to Manchester United for those of you insisting that INEOS is just doing what needs to be done because of what the Glazers have done for 20 years.

The King of the Stretford End.

Got the nod
