Not much can align London's football fans to be together. The usual rivalry between Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea is fierce, a bitter battle to be crowned as the greatest team in the capital. Especially with an expected top four crunch match tomorrow between Antonio Conte and Thomas Tuchel.
There will be a moment tonight, though, probably longer, that even the players at each of the three biggest London clubs look at the TV and social media and laugh. Their supposed Champions League rivals Manchester United being 4-0 down within 35 minutes against Brentford was too much to take.
The Red Devils had a pre-season dominated by Cristiano Ronaldo speculation rather than Erik ten Hag's takeover and subsequent rebuild, and it has told. With only two match weeks being played, United are rock bottom of the league, conceding six goals in 135 minutes of football against Brighton and Brentford.
