Revenge of British anti-football.
Premier League Gameweek 8

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
My five year old niece dislocated hers recently. It absolutely is.
We are shit.
Why would guys like Issa Diop see United as 'the big one' that they raise their game for? It's 2019, we haven't been a big deal since 2013 - nobody is raising their game for United in 2019. People raise their game for City and Liverpool
If you wanna be my lover?
You know your music
Searched Mane dive and there are so many results and videos. It's clear that Klopp coaches his team to cheat in situations like those.
Naive
Oh man! Hope she's ok!
still going around the forum being miserable, negative and a general joy to be around I see.
Cant believe we are still in short for top 4. If we can get our act together and win some matches, we could well be in top 4 .
Jesus the poor thing. 5 year olds aren't built to deal with that sort of pain.
It is playing out of the press that defeated Spurs, at least got the dominance, which requires technique from individual players. Then the Spurs main strength is nullified. Then the first bit of self destruction and two opportunist goals and game over. The southern clubs tend to do this with varying degrees of success. Not everything as Fulham found out last season, but BHA have a better defence than them.
The inquest on Spurs now begins. They appear to have stagnated a bit. It might include BHA v Spurs at academy level as well as BHA second string academy beat Spurs 4-1 recently.
Seeing the match live it seemed more one-sided than on TV. Spurs were chasing shadows for over an hour.
What a shock there was no mention by MOTD panel of that potential red card for Alexander Arnold yet they couldn't show a replay of that tackle on Salah quick enough.
Spurs fans also felt it wasn't a pen.
Well all I can say is Wilfried Zaha always had the potential to be a top forward but nobody bought him in the summer.
Thanks guys. She told her mum to not worry when it happened! She's just fine now.
They cant wait to wet themselves if and when Liverpool win the league.
Fanbases tend to be emotional and rely on no reason whatsoever.
When we wanted Mourinho out, many opposition fans had a more holistic view of things, less emotional. Doesn't make them more knowledgeable on all things United, but they can be objective-is.
Hence why rival fans are appreciated on here even if u get the pisc taken out of you every once in a while
If you can't understand that then take it as a compliment dear as you said ..........

I used to blame the refs all the time when Liverpool were shit too. The fact is that there is no grand conspiracy, and VAR gets far more right than wrong.
Good teams create more opportunities for officials to get decisions wrong. For example, when we were at our peak, people used to allege we got soft penalty decisions because the refs were terrified of Fergie. The truth is - quite often we'd create a few decent shouts for a penalty per game, and doing that often leads to the referee eventually awarding you one.
If you're a crap team that rarely gets into the opposition box, then maybe once in every 4-5 matches you venture far enough into the opposition penalty area to appeal for a spot kick. The odds are the referee will turn it down, because more often than not referees look for a reason to avoid giving a big decision like that. Now maybe 5 of the last 6 penalty appeals we may have had when we were at our peak under Fergie were turned down, but we kept knocking repeatedly enough to eventually get the answer we wanted.
How the feck are Palace sitting 4th?
Nope
'People' are beaten in the tunnel when they play City and Liverpool, they're not achievable scalps us on the other hand 100% are
I love all the complaining about the refs, media ,luck and generally anything you can think that is helping Liverpool. It makes the victories so much sweeter.
Pool fan?
What does United being shit have to do with anything? I've been a detractor of the current use of VAR in the PL since day 1 and citing it a source of impartiality and objectiveness is plain stupid. They never dare overrule the on field ref's decision. There's no right or wrong with VAR in the PL, they just don't do anything. Sit and watch like a spectator.
Would you say the same about peak City? Peak Chelsea? Invincibles Arsenal?
Never felt luck was crucial to their successes apart from maybe couple of games a season. They were just too good. However with Pool, it feels a bit different and I can't explain how.
Whats funny is Liverpool still haven't won a PL title. If you don't win it this year, it's hard to see when you actually will.
All teams need a bit of luck to go on crazy winning runs, regardless of how good they are.
Not to the same extent though. Best United teams were famous for winning it late in the game, and City had a run of last minute goals two seasons ago. Chelsea in 16/17 is an example of team that got even more fortunate and hugely overachieved, accumulating enormous amount of points without ever looking really dominant.
But this Liverpool thing is something unseen before. While Chelsea eventually crashed the next season, Liverpool's run doesn't seem to stop. And for all their overachieving, Chelsea never got this many gifts from opposition in key moments.
Yeah
Yeah I do worry that if we don't win it this year we might miss our golden opportunity. Man City are just so good that I still expect them to pip us to it again this season. I doubt we will keep this form going for 3 season on the trot.

You do seem much more relient on desicions going your way than City. A lot of margins going your way.
I thought that was a straight red personally. Only saw one replay so I don't know if he slipped into that challenge. But VAR needed to be more certain. Can he be retrospectively banned or is it now not possible?
Teams will always raise their game for United no matter how far they fall. The difference is they don’t have to raise it that much at this moment in time. That’s what makes all the glory years all the more impressive- every team was out to beat United. And they still are. A team saying they’ve beaten Liverpool or City certainly doesn’t carry the same weight even now.
Sorry for the late reply, I'm still a newbie on this forum.
Yeah. He brought Perez on for that. The difference was immediately noticeable.
Great chance to shithouse the game and we squandered it.

No idea what the rules are now regarding being retrospectively banned. The Leicester boys on England duty will not be happy with him though.

CHO starts!
Chelsea fans must be very excited over this new concept of actually starting talented youth players.
That is an exciting looking team, to be fair.

I agree, looks exciting! They'll be hungry and batter Southampton
