    Vermaelen scored (finally started playing regularly - mainly due to Pique being red carded) so 1-0 win at home.

    Juve lost to Roma now

    BVB have started really strong this season. I doubt they can keep up but I do hope.

    Man Utd won't win anything this year either. I used to like the fact that they were never big spenders (compared with other big clubs) but I guess it's really hard to be competitive without throwing ridiculous amounts of money left and right with the likes of Man City, Chelsea, Barcelona and the worst of all, Real Madrid around. They seem to be bad at it however. It looks like they just stumble upon players and buy them without any plan in mind. They have the midfield clogged up while the attack... well, there's no attack at the moment.

    Man Utd's transfer strategy has been a complete shambles since Ed Woodward took control. But the Premier League is just a complete joke in general at the moment.

    The team that finishes bottom of the EPL will get more money in TV rights revenues than Bayern Munich will, and almost all the English teams are obsessed with spending this money on expensive average players.

    United have bought this 19 year old Frenchman I've never heard of for £30+million and sent their own youth academy star, Adnan Januzaj, out on loan. What is this all about?

    They splash out millions of pounds without thinking about it because of the ridiculous money that is in the game. £30million is peanuts to Man Utd. They can waste their money and still expect fans to pay £40 for League Cup tickets against Ipswich Town.

    Why do the top clubs even bother with youth academies anymore?

    So 22m for Pedro was too much and 36m for some unknown isn't? Andy Carroll pt 2.

    Maybe the problem was that with Pedro they would have had enough midfielders to make a team only of midfielders. Paying 36m for that guy was a bet but they can afford it.

    Andy Carroll was not that young and LIverpool didn't have that much cash back then. Other than that it's completely the same.

    Actually, while Man Utd are doing an awful job on the transfer market there's some comfort that Liverpool is way worse. They've replaced Torres with Carroll and Suarez with Balotelli ))))

    I'm back comrades

    Tsipras, work and vacation kept me away.

    Well done to Ernesto Valverde for exploiting crappy Barca Swiss cheese defence!

    I missed most of the developments. I need to catch up!

    ^I did, but you are an idiot who does not check fb/pm etc

    btw BigBen, Pedro is not a midfielder!
    Though Luis Enrique did want to turn him into a wing back this season
    Still your comment about Balo replacing Suarez etc is spot on
