What's interesting is that statistically, Ancelotti's first 7 games of his first season at Bayern are nearly identical to Pep's first 7 games of his first season at Bayern. And yet I don't remember Bayern ever looking this bad at the start of a season under Pep.

The Athletico game started it all. Pep never had to face such strong opposition this early in his seasons

Pep lost 4:2 against Dortmund in Supercup 2013.

I hate refs that "let the game flow" by sacrificing players' health. Already dislike this ref

Mourinho has Yanited really up for this. Winning every 2nd ball and creating some chances all be it half chances.

Any good referee would have given ManUtd at least two yellow cards already.
Good luck killing the game with fewer players

You are right, but you also have to think about the game which i think the ref is doing too. Easily could have been 4-5 yellow cards this first half, which is only going to kill the game in the second half. However you argue of course that these tackles should be punished no matter what.

Rooney would offer more than Ibra here right? Ibra offers nothing in behind through ball due to him being slow as ivanovic. So surely Rooney will give more?

It should just be forbidden to hype any top level game involving Mourinho, just have Boro Watford as prime game instead.

After the boring first half of the Liverpool-ManU, I switched to Eibar-Osasuna quite fast and the 5 goals were worth it.

According to German media sourcing the Danish newspaper BT, all Danish first division clubs are threatening to leave all UEFA club competitions and there are considerations of an own international (not necessarily restricted to Europe) club competition as their response to the changes made to EL/CL.
But they are not alone with those threats, as other other European clubs are joining them. Clubs mentioned in the article are: Ajax Amsterdam, PSV Eindhoven(Netherlands), Glasgow Rangers, Celtic Glasgow(Scotland), Malmö FF (Sweden), Rosenborg Trondheim (Norway) FC Brügge ,RSC Anderlecht(Belgium)

Oh that sounds like an exciting competition lol. These clubs so silly, if they leave they only hurt themselves and then it be begging to rejoin in 10-15 years time.

The point is that the changes won't happen and they won't have to leave. You can look down on them but if they all leave they'll take a majority of the viewers from those countries with them. They might hurt themselves but they'll also hurt the UEFA and the big clubs.
Being a small club doesn't mean you have to take all the shit the UEFA and the big clubs throw at you.
