Fun though.

Was just thinking how many City or Liverpool would have put past either side in that half.

Agreed. It really is difficult to think of two more ordinary Utd and Chelsea sides.

I hadn't really thought about it, but with Morata gone and Giroud getting on a bit, if Tammy Abraham is the best they have to lead their line, then... well, that's not great. Not great at all.

Edit: That said, they were probably the better team in that half tbh.

IMO United look better on paper, but Chelsea are combining much better. Early signs reflect quite well on Lampard.

Female referee for the European Super Cup between Liverpool and Chelsea. Nothing against it in principle but judging by the Women’s Cup she’s not particularly outstanding. It’s positive discrimination. She’s only refereed two men’s matches in the French second tier.

Things like experience in the opposite gender's football didn't hinder Phil Neville :ph34r:.

But yeah, for a (")final("), you'd obviously want someone with more experience of the men's game.

What exactly is the point of this match?

I think you should probably check your stats there as well. She's been refereeing in Ligue 2 for multiple years and has 70+ appearances. She's refereed 2 Ligue 1 matches though.

Maybe the difficulty finding an experienced female referee might have something to do with football's decades of entrenched misogyny. And maybe a high-profile and visible but ultimately meaningless match is an ideal one in which to provide a female referee with experience.

Salford having their second live game of the season on Sky already. Nothing to do with Gary Neville being part owner.
I just can’t get behind Salford City. Got a real beef with the whole ‘little club getting success because of their brilliant footballing owners’, when it’s the billionaire owner and overinflated contracts used to buy their way up. I just can’t get any passion for what is basically cheat code football, and the absolute ****ing and glamourising their story makes me want them to lose. Even to Leeds
