This whole thing is weird.
1. The fact it's made the news is insane
2. The fact people find sunscreen "woke"
3. The fact people cannot conceive of a world where someone forgets sunscreen and may want to buy some
4. That the comments section is so angry over something so minor
But what I find interesting is how good Rashford was at Villa before his injury. Antony has been a revelation in Spain, too. There's something rotten stinking it's way through the whole club. If I were a player, I wouldn't go anywhere near that place
I think it does. Forest essentially blew PSR season 1, got safe enough that the points deduction was irrelevant and had a stronger squad this season as a result, but that's high risk.
Southampton and Leicester, plus Burnley and Sheffield United last season committed virtually nothing transfer...
Yeah agreed. Staying up, in theory, should be a lot harder for teams with our budget. It means a) we're doing a lot right, b) there are a few that are doing a lot wrong and c) those coming up are finding it harder and harder to compete
Other than Rashford (the Villa one, not the United one) I don't really rate any of those players. Amad and Mainoo have potential, but would either tear it up at, say, Fulham? Or Brentford? Or Brighton? The tag of being "the next big thing at United" carries FAR more prestige that it should
Ironic that Ferguson got the United "brand" to the very top of the game, and now they're more of less where he picked them up in part because of the whole Rock of Gibraltar mess. If you were being super harsh, you could say that 40 years on, Man United are worse off because of his influence in...
But international waters are a lot bigger than UK waters, right? So access to EU waters is just as beneficial, if not more so, than just UK fishing lanes to UK fishermen?
I'd be more worried if there weren't the occasional bust up. Who wants a team of passives? There's a time and a place, of course, but JPvH is widely known to have massively high standards in training, so it's would be unsurprising if he said something if levels drop
Totally agree. There's no reason to suddenly start selling players on the cheap (which, I know, is laughable when talking about £50m+ fees). I firmly believe that a player that's 23, has 3 years on his contract, is proven at PL level in multiple positions and a full Brazil international should...
Maybe, but I suspect that he'll either have an option for another year or a new offer incoming. His interviews recently have been very pointed in his love of being here and wanting to emulate Dunky. He's a big influence in the dressing room too and at 30, still has a year or two left in him at...
So far this season, our defensive partnerships have been:
Dunk & JP
JP & Igor
JP & Webster
Webster & Igor
Baleba & Dunk
JP & Cashin
So I suspect our biggest issue is consistently having a settled partnership, and that's not including the madness at full back
Although true, I don't think the season always has to be down to the wire to be a good season. That said, to have any of 5 clubs vying for the CL on the last day is no bad thing. There were years past where the top four was a done deal - Just pick the order. This year, Newcastle, Villa and...
No, I don't think it's less strong, but I do think that the traditional "top clubs" have had historically bad seasons. Man City have been inconsistent at best, Man United and Spurs have been abysmal and Arsenal have been, well, Arsenal. That said, Newcastle have been excellent, Villa too. For...
Spurs to win after a physically and mentally exhausting 120mins plus pens and a couple of injuries.
I don't want either to win, but if United lose their finances are destroyed. That's a good thing
Given that he's only got 3 assists this season, I'd say a max of 3 isn't quite "many", although that may be more down to our astounding ability to pea roll shots at the keeper's feet or balloon them into row Z whenever the ball goes in and around the penalty area
I hope I'm wrong but I doubt we'll ever see another midfield like it in the stripes. Truly spoiled. That said, our depth is better now. A midfield from any of Baleba, Ayari, Hinshelwood, Weiffer, O'Riley isn't too shabby at all. If we keep all of them and they stay fit, then we have some very...
