The teams are out! Manchester United in their storied red, white and black, Chelsea in their famous royal blue. It’s coming down stair-rods in Manchester; in other breaking news, the aforementioned Pope is Catholic. We’ll be off in a minute!
Let’s have a rummage around the pre-match postbag ... and by the looks of the contents, Ruben Amorim has lost the crowd.
“Any sign of a Papal Bull at Old Trafford? After all, there’s been plenty of another kind of bull there over the last 12 months” – Gary Naylor
“Fortunately this is only football. Imagine Amorim as a general. ‘Sir, our troops are being slaughtered.’ ‘Look son. Not even the Pope could make me change my system. Carry on!’” – Mary Waltz
“Shaw was atrocious at left centre-back position last week, as Bruno’s been in midfield each and every game; so it’s kinda weird Yoro’s out and Shaw’s still in and United’s been set up in last week’s exact formation of midfield and attack. What was the definition of insanity?” – Karen Asad
