Purely in the interests of impartiality, of course ... Liverpool lost to Bournemouth.

That was indeed diabolical. Now what we need is a four-goal rout of Real Madrid. We did it against Barca...

Mind you, two of the three teams I follow (the Bees and the Blades) lost yesterday, so I'm living in a glass house here.

He's a brilliant manager. He has brilliant players. He has brilliant bottomless oil money. Those regimes are great, aren't they?

Can't be easy supporting a mid-table team.

Hmm. Well my "mid-table team" is just one place and three points behind your outfit with a goal difference seventeen better than yours. And I seem to recall that we humiliated you 7-0 a little while ago... :-)

The major teams in England are owned by Americans who have seen the business of Soccer as a massive profit opportunity. Americans now own 50% of current English Premier League Teams which include: Arsenal, Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Fulham, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester United, and West Ham. So the thread title is only half true.

The thread title refers to a sport that is completely different to the US game. As ever, you simply don't understand. This is a thread in which you are extremely unlikely to be able to make a sensible contribution. But, as it's a free country, be my guest.

What a great win for Manchester United today in the FA Cup against their close rivals Manchester City, in an enthralling match they triumphed by 2 goals to 1.

A well-deserved win for ManU (and I’m a lifelong Leeds Utd. fan, so I don’t say that lightly!).

Meanwhile across the pond,
Argentina, with Messi, won the Copa America.
Hints are being dropped that
this is the last such game for Messi.
Will he be around for the World Cup in a few years?
