Today's Games

Ahh, yes it is, from the beeb, amazing sometimes what a different manager/change in set up/ position can do for a player that believes in his own ability and is prepared to work.

From the beeb :

Lookman, 26, had never managed double figures in a season for Charlton, Everton, RB Leipzig, Fulham or Leicester.

After this treble the former England Under-21 winger, who now represents Nigeria at international level, has netted 15 goals in each of his two seasons with Atalanta.

Gasperini said: "We had a senior manager at Atalanta [Lee Congerton] who had worked at Leicester, who saw the opportunity to bring him in and thought he was a possible useful player.

"Nobody could ever imagine he'd could make this much progress. He wasn't overly prolific in England. I changed his position to a more attacking role.

"Tonight he achieved something which will remain in the annals of football history - a stunning hat-trick."

Lookman was asked afterwards if he could have imagined this growing up in Wandsworth and when he started out at Charlton's academy.

"Probably, yeah," he replied. "I've always had the confidence in my ability.

"In the past two years I've been able to take my game to a new level and show it on a more consistent basis.

"Maybe it could have come earlier but it's come now. I'm pleased with the progress I've made but this is just the beginning. I hope for more nights like this."

Great times those mate

This match today is tedious, Citeh keeping the ball and Manu standing watching them

Like watching paint dry

[Irish Ian]

Old Firm game.

0-0 after 20 mins, Celtic looking slick and Rangers labouring so far.

Not many chances for either side

[1964white]

Oh dear!

[White Riot]

Defensive c**k up and Manu score.

[White Riot]

Oh dear!

ManU will sit back even more now

[mentalcase]

I hate moan utd but will take them winning today if it means we win tomorrow

[1964white]

ManU will sit back even more now

Citeh do prat about with the ball at the back, too much, just poor defending there!

[White Riot]

Citeh carved open like a Christmas turkey but Garnacho was offside.

[White Riot]

Mainoo gets another 2-0 to Manu.

[1964white]

Shocking at the back again.

[White Riot]

Shocking at the back again.

Very sloppy Leon.

Ten Haag has produced a boring performance, but it's effective so far.

[Cjay]

Don't mind Manure winning.

Makes them look even more daft when they kick Ten Hag, or even better harder to sack him.

And Charges FC should have been punished by now anyway

Glorious times, Blanc.

The last time I saw Leeds win at Wembley, so I missed the TV billing for that one!

[White Riot]

c**k up by Onana and Citeh pull one back

[White Riot]

Dreadful goalkeeping

[1964white]

Why Pep didn't play one of his two wingers Doku or Grealish from the start baffles me

[White Riot]

Why Pep didn't play one of his two wingers Doku or Grealish from the start baffles me

Yeah, strange as Doku has done well.
