“They looked like they wanted it more than us and that can’t be right”, said hero and villain Christian Eriksen after Man United’s draw with FC Twente last night.

It was the same old United on the pitch, but what about this proposed 100,000 seater stadium, aka “the new Wembley of the North” the owners want the public to fund?

We chat to Barney Ronay and John Brewin about Man United’s doughnut team, the fallout from the Man City Arsenal game, and the North Korean women’s team winning all around them.

There’s also the European manager Dermot Keely loved to hate, and the sheer misfortune of being struck by lightning when you’ve just imbibed some musk deer glands.
