This week we ask the big questions: do football stats have commitment issues, or do they just ghost you after one missed game? We tackle the international break blues, the never-ending United takeover saga (is it real or just boardroom banter?), and whether Sir Jim Ratcliffe is giving more interviews than United have points. Keane wants Simeone, pundits want blood, and The Athletic needing to divorce The New York Times. We also dive into the Sesko slander. Is he really that bad, or just the latest scapegoat in the United blame game? Plus, our take on the Liverpool clash, the long-ball love affair, and whether one win can rewrite the script. Spoiler: probably not, but we’ll argue about it anyway.
