We have an unhealthy drinking culture. Take away the booze and this kind of thing would hardly ever happen.
Yeah, it accounts for 99% of it I’d say. Mostly Brits falling out with other Brits as well (as seems to be the case for Harry)

Well at least we get a new captain!

...so how do you guys think Lindelof will be as club captain?

What was he thinking of, just going to some bar where English tourists go? Top footballers should have more sense and stay in their posh villas.

I don't understand that mentality though. He's an absolute professional and lives an immaculate private life off the pitch. Because people don't know Pogba, they project onto him.
I think saying people project onto him is a generalisation and unfair criticism of people with completely legitimate concerns about his performance levels and interactions with the club and his agent in recent years. Personally if the notion that the captain is an emblem of the club mentality and direction I would genuinely hate to see pogba in the role. He has been a massively underwhelming signing and I think it's more likely he will leave than we will see him deliver a consistent full season here

Anyway, better keep on topic

Not this again. He once mentioned wanting a new challenge, which we all fecking do over fighting over top four and no silverware, then the rest has been complete paper talk. If you think Bruno's going to keep his head down and be content with us sitting in sixth or seventh in the league, and struggling to get out of the Europa League group stages, then take a look at how he finished up at Sporting: completely committed on the pitch, but he's going to ensure the club matches his ambition off it.

I said Pogba wouldn't be leaving this time last year and was laughed out of town by people. He's still here and will likely sign a new contract.
I also said that he would stay because no one was going to pay what we wanted and what he and his agent wanted. That was before Covid. He has no other realistic option.

Close to fighting? :lol:
They were in each other's faces, perhaps I was exaggerating but players arguing on the pitch is a bad sign for any team.

Shall we just find out what he actually did before calls to strip him of the captaincy or nah?

Well that video was a huge disappointment! They marked it as of it shows some sort of incident.
I wasn’t impressed by the video, but not sure what to expect. Like others have pointed out, its more if a covid case with that vid than what he has been arrested for.
I’m relatively sure this will blow over, unless there is more to it than what has come out so far.

It all started when his friends bet all their money that he could score a header into an open goal. Then they doubled or nothing that De Gea could save a l low shot from a 5 year old.

Perfect time for the club to actually do something positive in the transfer market.

In fairness captain of United shouldn’t be scrapping in Greece on his hols.

Give it to Jones I say. Now there’s a man that could have won this fight with his face, without throwing a single punch.:drool:

Incidents like this remind me of how much I appreciate Pogba.

devoted, family man, not involved with smoking nor drinking. Model professional.

He doesn't seem the type to get involved in pub fights without good reason.

Probably just defending himself or a friend.

Apparently Victor was there too but had well and truly gone missing when a physical square up presented itself

Not a great look as captain, but with so little details, not going to condemn him either. Easily could have been provoked by English tourists.

Let's see what Maguires statement will be. Definitely not doing himself any favours.

I’m sure he was, he’s got to rise above it though. Footballers get tons of shit from the public, probably someone giving it large over United being shit recently or whatever. I live in a small town where even local players here will get slagged off on nights out. I’ve seen it happen, and they’re nobodies. Can only imagine what it’s like for a globally-known player like Maguire. It doesn’t excuse it, but I bet these guys get shit loads of abuse from drunken punters every time they go out.

I thought the club reached peak banter club status, but then the captain gets himself arrested in a foreign country.

Global pandemic times and he finds it fitting to go abroad and get in a bar fight with some other idiots who thought that sounded like a great idea too.
