@bovidae He's missed so much football when he should have been at his peak - but he did play around 170 games in the EPL but not a single game since the 2017-18 season. But on 70K pounds per week for this the last few years, he should be set up for life.
Brentford obviously didn't see him as part of their plans after he was on loan there, suspect he would need to take a dramatic salary cut to get a gig somewhere.

Jesus - Foodbill doesn't really cut it for Winston. Brewster's Millions?

He signed a contract extension ahead of the 2017/2018 season to keep him at West Ham until 2023 and I think that was when he moved up to 70K per week. Since then he has played 19 games for West Ham. That's about 750K pounds per game not including any pay-off to terminate his contract early. Over 1 million NZD per game played. That's a decent hourly rate.

Ha! Villa beat Man Utd 1-0 at Old Trafford. Happy days
Man Utd were awarded a last minute penalty but Bruno Fernandes forgot for a second he's not Jordie Barrett.

So many times yanited get gifted last gasp pens

Get in Villa! Kourtney Hause you beauty!

A reversal of last week when United got the late winner and then West Ham missed the pen.
A good day for Man City with none of their 3 main rivals winning - great game between Brentford and Liverpool. Brentford overloading Trent T-A repeatedly and he struggles to defend without being overloaded.
And if Brighton win the last game of the weekend they go top for the first time ever.

Has MK Dons played Wimbledon AFC this season? Is this the first season they have been in the same div??
@hooroo we havent played them this season yet, no, we've been in the same league for a few years now, was a sweet moment the first time we overtook them in the league

Ronaldo is a Freak!
The jury is still out on whether he will be the catalyst to United winning titles and cups or the weight around Ole's neck that will bring him down. He does seem to be playing him a lot in a long season and a few times Ole seems to have no idea what formation to play to get the best out of his players - almost too many attacking options now and they can't all play at the same time.
As for Spurs, they look close to falling apart and Harry is bringing down his transfer value with every game. Nuno might have been passed a very well paid hospital pass - let's see if he can get the best out of what is still a talented squad.
As for Arsenal, they look well set up to compete in the battle for 5th to 9th place - the new right back looks decent which makes the defence looks better overall and Partey needs a long run to keep the team stable.

In these trying times it's always good to find some joy in the world
Going to Old Trafford and winning 5-zip definitely sparks joy.
Add in Ronaldo losing his shit and should have been sent off, while Pogba also lost his shit, and WAS sent off, and Salah scored 3.
The top 3 all had huge wins and it looks pretty much like it's them fighting out the title
Spurs lost again, and that doesn't appear to be going well at all.
If Newcastle don't start winning games they might end up the richest Championship club in history -
And still Ole keeps his job, at least until Saturday. Looks like all he needs is a win against another team (some time soon) or maybe even a draw and he can stay indefinitely. The Liverpool game had the look of a manager on his way out due to the fact that it was entirely predictable that they would be thrashed (in fact Scholes during the week had said that "if they play like they did against Atalanta, then Liverpool could be 3 or 4 nil up by half time").
Spurs are also reeling at the moment so it is entirely possible that United will beat them. Strange days. And hard to see it being anything but a 3 horse race for the title from here.

i think they have something like Spurs in to City in to Chelsea over the next 3 weeks. I probably wouldn't chuck a new manager in to that either. That's assuming there is one ready to go.

Not the EPL, but Barca have sacked Koeman after another defeat. That club is a dumpster fire.

I'll say, its amazing how fast they have gone from world beaters to also rans. Some of the best football I have ever watched has been at sitting in Camp Nou
