Don't fall off your chair with shock BUT tonight Eamon Dunphy actually said something divisive.

Have you recovered from the fright of having the typically fence-sitting, placid, middle-of-the-road pundit come out of his shell? Good.

"They're not a big club anymore," Dunphy said. "Manchester United is not a big club anymore. "We're going to watch Barcelona, we're going to watch Bayern Munich. They're the big clubs. Real Madrid, they're a really big club. "They [United] are not a big club anymore."
