Apparently Rabiot and his mother are the most toxic combination left in football, following the demise of Mino Raiola. More trouble for the swamp.

As well as the little fallout with City I read a fair old list yeaterday of people they have upset, players, clubs, families

You couldn't script it better.

If you read that article Hernandez says the only reason Baconface was so successful was that 7 out of 10 of his signings worked out well.
Pep's signed 24 that I can remember- if we take the flops as Mendy, Bravo, Angelino, Nolito, Steffan and Danilo and that's probably harsh on Danilo and Nolito it leaves 18 players - Ake, Torres, Cancelo, Jesus, Zinch, Sane, Rodri, Mahrez, Laporte, Stones, Silva, Walker, Gundo, Dias, Ederson plus this seasons 3 so if Haaland, Alvarez and Phillips work out and I'm pretty sure they will he's got a 75% success rate so even better than Fergie.

No way 7/10 of Baconfaces signings were successful

I doubt it’s half and probably 4/10

I’ve always said he was lucky that he got Giggs, Beckham, Scholes and the Neville’s all come through at the same time. When has that happened in recent years for a club as big as United?

Whio can forget the legends that were Kleberson and Djemba Djemba? Dodgy keepers as well. He really did have some turkeys

I am STILL convinced that was a way of getting money into Portugal off the radar to pay off that Portugese guy who was the only person standing in the way of Gill's move into UEFA.

He’s in his final year. His team are doing the usual put pressure on the Rags until they fold and offer £350k a week. Rooney had it down to a tee

Surely the Rags are 14th and not 13th in the league as it stands right now. Points tally, goal diff the same as Everton. E comes before M in the Alphabet. I mean , Arsenal were top of the league over the summer . The Beeb and Daily Fail are fawning over Rags. Come on Brentford , do us all a favour.

After GD it goes on GS
Rags lost 2-1 while Everton lost 1-0
Same GD -1, but rags gave more goals scored
