Brentford scored in the 1st minute yesterday vs. West Ham, becoming the first team in PL history to score in the first minute in three successive matches.

Brentford was really slacking over the weekend against Wolves - they took 1 minute, 16 seconds to score. :ROFLMAO:

They then proceeded to hang four more on Wolves to win 5-3. It's probably a race between Gary O'Neill at Wolves and Erik Ten Hag at Manchester United to see who is the first Premier League firing/sacking of the season.

Manchester United gets Brentford at Old Trafford coming out of the international break. If they don't get the full 3 points in that one, I'd have to think ETH is gone.

After having the feature used during this past summer's Olympics, Multiview will be part of Premier League coverage on Peacock beginning December 4th. Multiview will give the viewer the opportunity to watch 4 Premier League matches at once. While it made easy sense for the Olympics coverage, it wasn't demanded as much by comparison for Premier League coverage.

Ruud van Nistelrooy has been named caretaker manager for Manchester United.

Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim is reportedly the lead candidate to take over for ten Hag. Manchester United has also reportedly inquired about the availability of Brentford manager Thomas Frank.

Amorim would be quite the coaching domino considering he has to be high on the list of potential Pep replacements assuming Pep leaves City as expected. Sporting’s “GM” is heading to City after this season as well.

My guess is Amorim and Xabi Alonso would be the top two picks for City, and Alonso also has to be the assumed front-runner at Real Madrid when Ancelotti eventually retires. If Amorim heads to United, it could be quite the bidding war for Alonso if both clubs are committed to him.

City have already ruled out Amorim as a candidate.

Quite honestly, I don’t really believe that. I think it’s just press conference speak since Pep is still coaching there.

City will let United hire Amorim and then turn around and buy him out in the summer once Pep leaves
