Ajax reaches the last 16 in the Champions League. Last time they made it: in 2005. Back then they were beaten by Inter.

What the actual fuck is this?!
 
Seems crazier than it actually is because of Matic playing as a central defender. Outside of that, it seems like a pretty normal 4-3-1-2. (Not that that's a good idea, because it isn't)
 
Not sure why United still has yet to fire Mourinho. You're not getting the results AND you're risking the departures of Pogba, Martial, Bailly and possibly Alexis too.
 
Probably Woodward & the Glazers (w£$%#"s) wanted Klopp/Guardiola and now those are happy at United's arch rivals? And when they can't get those, they have no idea who to hire instead of The Not So Special One Anymore.

Or Mourinho's got something on them ...?

2-2 against this lousy Southampton side is unacceptable. The rest of the season will now officially be a success if top 4 is achieved ... :censored:
 
Zidane is available and rumoured to be interested. I mentioned it a couple of months ago, and I still think it'd make sense.

It really doesn't take a football genius to see that United needs to play direct, attacking football. Forcing the likes of Pogba, Martial, Rashford, Alexis and Lukaku to play a balanced, defensive style is absolute nonsense.
 
Wolves are being increasingly disappointing recently, 2-0 to Huddersfield and 2-1 to Cardiff, yet we somehow manage to draw with Arsenal at the Emirates at the same time? We're falling down the table after starting off so well

Don't forget the Faroe Islands. Three members of the family in one group!

Two members of the Yugoslav family in there. I'd like Macedonia to get Greece though.

Two countries who are so far apart, but united by mutual hatred of Turkey.
