We have Pogba and Ibra out. If you line the squads up, they’re pretty equal.

De Gea/Romero > Ederson/Bravo
Bailly/Rojo > Stones/Otamendi
Walker = Valencia
Mendy > Young > Delph
Toure = Fellaini
Matic/Herrera > Gundogan/Fernandinho
De Bruyne = Pogba
David Silva/Bernardo Silva = Mata/Mkhi
Rashford = Sterling
Ibra = Aguero
Lukaku/Martial > Jesus/Sane

Injuries fecked us, that’s all. Pogba’s injury affects 5 players in the team.

Raheem Sterling is a gem. He has been one of the best wide attackers in the Premier League for about five years now, boasts an athleticism and technical ability and intelligence that makes 99 percent of his peers look like stodgy goons by comparison, regularly heaps on goals and assists at a much quicker rate than players widely considered to be his betters, is (or should be) considered one of the two or three most gifted talents the great and proud soccer nation England has produced in years, currently stands as one of the critical cogs in a Manchester City squad that is threatening to become the iconic EPL team of this generation, and at only 22 years old, still has so much room to grow into an even bigger star than he already is.

I sincerely hope they go back to 140, or somewhere closer to it. 280 has only been used well once.

Welcome to my new project: Sandra Marsh: the Conspiracy Files. I have recently started getting involved in politics (which I am not an expert in and have never been interested in before), because my dad, who is a successful businessman, is the victim of very bad new laws which are coming in from the government. My dad is a non-dom, which means he doesn’t have to pay tax in the UK. He earns a lot of money and spends it, plus he has a lot of expertise, so it’s good for the economy. However, the corrupt government are starting to ban non-doms and forcing them to pay tax against there will.

If this law goes ahead and he is threatened with paying tax he (and possibly me) will be forced to leave the country and work from Dubai all year round. It is disgusting that he is being forced to leave his own country and I have been trying to convince people to stand up for our rights. In my campaign work, I started to learn about politics and got interested in conspiracy theories. I tried to think of a way to combine my career (as a professional football analyst) with my new expertise. That’s how I came up with Sandra Marsh: the Conspiracy Files. There is a huge amount of corruption and conspiracy in the world and I will be delving deep and exposing the lies. I will also be providing blogs about the latest tactical innovations and transfer rumours.

The main focus of Sandra Marsh: The Conspiracy Files will be refereeing decisions which go against Manchester United and Chelsea. Looking forward to this new project, which is the first one I have ever attempted without my dad, who has refused to take part.

This site is owned by top EPL football analyst and Official MUFC Uefa Fans’ Ambassador Sandra Marsh. Due to demand this website will be where high-quality football analysis reports will be published. These are not the full reports which are very expensive and only bought by top clubs in EPL and across Europe but they are just the initial overview pages from selected analysis reports. Sandra Marsh believes in giving back to the football fan community in EPL and so has made public these pieces of information.

If you are a top club in EPL who wants to pay me for analysis then please contact my dad or tell me by DM on Twitter so that we can negotiate a payment. Thank you a lot.

For the idiots who spam my twitter wasting my time here is how it works: My dad (a very successful businessman) has a lot of contacts and says everything should be done through him. I write my reports, then I give them to him. He then takes them to top clients and they give him the money. He then takes the money back to me. He says that this is how it works and I should have no direct contact with clubs or clients as this is how business is done under UK law. I usually charge £4k per report.

To the morons on Twitter: my dad does not avoid tax. He is a non-dom and works in Dubai but I live in London. This is all legal. My dad takes the money from clubs in cash and invests it to “clean” it and make sure its properly invested in my savings account. According to my dad this is all standard practice in the football industry. Please can you not waste my time now asking me boring questions about my career. This is the end of it.

The question Christian Pulisic tried to answer in his Players’ Tribune articlethis week is the million dollar one: how do you grow more Pulisics? ,This is not a new question. We’ve asked ourselves the same question about the Perezes, Hamms, Ramoses, Akerses, Reynas and Donovans. We’ve been producing great players in the US for decades – including Pulisic and several other promising young players we watched debut against Portugal on Tuesday night. But we haven’t been doing it at the rate that can make us a consistent world power on the men’s side.

We are the USSR and if you recall the USA just outspent them and won.

There is no competing with city on a financial level so fans should just give up stop funneling money into the sport and make these rich pricks feck off due to poor returns.
