Can you find a source that Israel has bombed a hospital during its current operations? Israel's military at least attempts to take measures to spare civilian life, like pre-warning locals when an area is about to be hit and roof-knocking before airstrikes. Hamas on the other hand, specifically...

So Israel suffers an horrific terrorist attack, with thousands of civilians killed and dozens kidnapped, and Germany is 'embarrassing itself' by claiming that Israel the right to self defence? And no, the 'narrative' from western leadership is not changing. France has urged caution, Norway said...

Certainly not. Never understood the fuss about this guy and his tenure at United was disastrous.

Scholes-esque pass from Evans. I don't care what anybody says, I'm glad he's here.

There's very little objectivity in supporting your team. Same every time a penalty is given. Penalty against us: Chorus of "never a pen/feck off ref/joke decision" We win a penalty: "Stonewall pen/right decision"

What makes you say that? I think it was the right call mate. Hojlund was off and absolutely interfering with play?

:lol: Johnny fecking Evans It was all worth it now. Edit: Oh bugger.

Why did Burnley play with fire by having a kick-about with the keeper 25 yards outisde of his own goal? What's the point?

:lol: I'm not sure which set of supporters would be more angry.

In real life, SAF announced he'd be retiring at the end of 01/02 - he then changed his mind, but the game was already out by then. So in CM0102, Sir Alex retires after one season. He is almost always replaced by David O'Leary, who in reality went on to do feck all at Aston Villa. This annoys...

We have reached that strange time in a CM01/02 run, where, almost a decade after the game started, most of the big stars have started to retire and the new marquee signings are players who were 16 years old in 2001 and who Eidos thought might make it big, or the RNG was kind to.

Good post and I agree with most of your assessments but have to bring up this one. There were a few times we used Scholes (old man Scholes, post comeback) as an anchor in a midfield three, he’d sit deeper than the others and pull strings. Even at 38 his passing game and long balls were sublime...

Indeed, hell at The Dell. Wasn't that the one and only time United ever wore that kit? I could be mistaken. Edit: Nope, looks like we suffered four losses wearing that strip.

Unpopular opinion: We should have kept Henderson as #1. Problems run deeper than the goalkeeper of course, but Onana has looked decidedly shaky. Edit: Decent save just as I wrote this. Hope he can come good.

It won't be as bad as people are saying. United will make a game of it, and Bayern aren't special. 0-0.
