Bit confused by articles and comments on multiple sites (okay, the Guardian and Football 365) complaining that it was a terrible game. Scoreline aside, I thought it was pretty entertaining.
My prediction: United sack Ten Hag and appoint Potter, who spends a few weeks teaching the players how not to score goals. Then he's sacked and the board appoint Rooney as caretaker, with hilarious results.
I'm basically rooting for a re-run of Chelsea last season.
Obviously I hope RDZ never leaves, but if he does, I hope he's replaced with someone I've never heard of and we get to see Tony's "cat who got the cream" grin at the unveil-the-new-guy presser. That's how I'll know we're in good hands.
I remember staying up late for ITV's football league highlights show when I was at uni at the end of the 90s. They'd show the games in the order of the home team's league position, so we were often the very last game.
Which meant I'd be staying up past 1am just to see a 30-second clip of us losing.
Amid all the scenes at our win, it's easy to forget that Sima opened the scoring for Rangers in their impressive 3-2 win away at Real Betis. This means they topped Group C and are straight into the round of 16 with us.
Sorry if this question is fixtures, but does anyone know if he's allowed to...
Some parts of this article annoyed me but the headline made me laugh

As someone who has musicians in his family, I've gotta respect the details about Tom Gray that someone posted above. He'd probably get my vote for that alone, if I still lived in Brighton and was still a member of the Labour Party.
But I'd absolutely be voting for Sian Berry in the GE if I...
I can actually imagine the United board sanctioning a loan rather than a sale. If I was on the board there, I'd be thinking "why take a big loss on this expensive asset because he's fallen out with a manager we're not gonna keep for much longer? The next guy might get a tune out of him".
But I...
How often do left-backs win player of the season at any club? I think the bitterness that surrounded his departure has made some people forget just how good Cucurella was for us.
Can't see him coming back anyway, I suspect his next move will be to a mid-table Spanish club. But if I could...
I think this weekend's starting line-up is partly explained by the importance of Thursday's game - I'm sure everyone at the club is eager to avoid an extra two games in February.
Last time I remember us putting out a team with an eye on the subsequent game was when we went to Newcastle near the...
I noticed a little while back that some of the papers had switched to reporting Mac's fee as 55m instead of 35m. Not sure if that means the add-ons have been triggered already, but everyone was saying at the time that they were going to be very easy to trigger.
Zephania's "Rong Radio" did more to advance my understanding of how the media affects our views of each other and ourselves than anything I studied in my politics degree. RIP.
