Triple captained Alvarez thinking Haaland would be out and an easy win. Waste so far

Shares a name with my late Grandad, brings shame to the name

Gutting news, everybody loved Terry Venables - much like Bobby Robson. Giant of the game, underrated manager, probably a top 10 English manager of all time

In the full article he is referring to leaders who have been injured/out this season

I'd be for that. Martial is finished and I don't think we have any young strikers who can be considered for the first team. Having 2 up top would be great for Bruno. Would mean a narrow team and dependency on full backs but our wingers provide nothing generally anyway.

LVG played a lot of kids, they listen and are grateful for the opportunity. Amrabat, Amad, Mainoo are young and need to be given chances. Garnacho over Rashford. Hojlund over Martial. Haha has to give that a shot as most of these players are unlikely to play into form and sort their attitude...

We've had worse stretches I think. Appreciate this thread was made a few weeks ago, we have won 3 in a row since then, albeit with about 60odd minutes of decent football. Off the pitch issues and injuries need to be taken into account too I think. The month or so in the run up to this thread I'd...

Sancho?

Scouts probably read the Caf, apparantly he was a one trick pony, useless etc! Used to know his brother a bit when I lived in Southampton back in the day when James was coming through. Really nice grounded lad and family, imagine JWPs attitude and drive is impeccable just based on that

I was discussing this with a United mate this morning at work and with the best will in the world I'm really struggling with supporting the team right now. I have a monumentally stressful life and going through some personal challenges, United should be an escape for me and bring some joy but...

@davidmichael This has turned into a far more interesting thread than I imagined! For me it is 100 per cent Maguire as building from what @TheRedDevil'sAdvocate alludes to, he represents the farce the club has become over the past decade

If the latest reports are anything to go by then he just doesn't have the mentality to perform at a massive club in the biggest league. He should be jumping through hoops to ensure he makes the RW spot his own. Unfortunately a lot of this is down to the lack of due diligence and investment at...

I saw him on that book tour at Hillsborough a friend bought two tickets, you did right cancelling I fell asleep half way through. Raised a few interesting points about his view of the world then descended into very long ramblings. Was essentially him and a PowerPoint show for around 4 hours...

You could argue that Garnacho being side on in that situation is advantageous so the shoulder counts I guess, but this is killing great moments for me. Think I would prefer to get rid of VAR altogether even though we'd have conceded a penalty today

I'm not convinced we have fallen behind too much. Perhaps comparing to our history (Busby Babes/CO92) then it can be viewed as not what it was, but relative to the current competition I think we are there or thereabouts and that is reflected in the performances of the youth team. In the past...
