it's so depressing

Assuming you mean events at Millwall yesterday

Fans are right to express their opinion when there is a political element with the BLM movement and comparisons with the knee/clenched fist to the Nazi salute.

Personally the Kick It Out campaign should have been at the forefront when sport resumed, as it covers all aspects of discrimination.

Comparing the BLM going down on one knee to a Nazi salute is easily one of the stupidest, most idiotic comparisons I've ever heard.

Only white racists would have a problem with footballers going down on one knee for a few seconds in a salute to a fight against racism, which is a plague affecting not just English football, but English society at large. So yes, those Millwall fans are racists!

I support Black Lives Matter, not Millwall racists....

Spurs title aspirations have taken a hit this week.

United already 4 up against Leeds. Shambles defence from Leeds. Might need to worry about relegation at this rate....

If United win their game in Hand they go outright 2nd and only 2 points behind Liverpool. Still Oles job in in the balance

How did Bielsa get 2nd in the best coach in the world voting?

Winning the championship is the 2nd hardest league in Europe after the PL??????

perhaps only matches against Newcastle were taken into consideration?

It's been incredible really - the draw against Liverpool was disappointing - United had a couple of great chances to win it. But even with that, it's great to see Utd back in the mix for the title this far into the season. Man City starting to look strong and Liverpool will probably get stronger so United still have a lot to do and will probably need to strengthen. Ols's insistence on playing Lindelof and Maguire may be aproblem - Bailly and Tuanzabe have been superb when I've seen them this year and they are both strong and quick - playing them would mean our defence can handle 1-1 situations and then we could play just one holding midfielder and have an extra attacking midfielder like VDB or Pogba

Newcastle win a game

seemingly miracles do happen

Racist abuse directed at

Martial

Clearly racism is still a problem in English football.

Continue taking the knee guys!

Is this a problem with football, or a problem with society in general? Either way, Rashford's post in response once again showed a lot of class. The young lad is incredibly likeable.

Maybe its time the police and government stopped talking and started acting. We cant go on as a society allowing this sort of abuse online, we have to tackle it, identify those responsible, and bring them to justice.

That David Luiz red card and penalty last night looks like a terrible decisions.

Think the pen was right but not the red card

Wonder where Burnley will be in a few years. A well run club with no debt and generally making a profit most years.

Now 150 M in debt and new owners. Still has the same directors though a leveraged buy out still seems so wrong. Very vague on all the details at present which is never a good sign.

Newcastle continue to try and shoot themselves in the foot

3-1 up and cruising in the first half.... concede straight away in the second, get a player sent off, another stretchered off after using all their subs and having to try and hang on for 15 mins and a load of injury time with 9 men and a 4-4-0 formation
