Saying Bruno and Rashford are the "problem" is an oversimplification, in my opinion. They both have talent that can significantly enhance a team's performance under the right conditions. They excel when the team is already doing well, contributing moments of brilliance that can change the...

I'm guessing that is a no then? I'm just someone who find these lazy takes about preferrantial treatment boring when they are not based in reality.

Do you have any data backing up this claim of preferential treatment? What is it based on? Anecdotal observations?

Do you actually belive this, or is it banter?

I believe that biases, particularly confirmation bias and in-group bias, might be influencing this perception. While I don't regularly follow English news, I am active in multiple football communities. My observation is that supporters from almost every large club share similar sentiments: the...

This reasoning is just baffeling, especially when you have 0 insight into Citys recruitment process. The reason why a certain transfer doesn't happen can be any number of reasons. It could be that it is because the manager doesn't rate the player, but that is far from the certainty that you...

Thanks! Crazy that 1 goal in 1 match is the decider.

So how does it work with rematches? Do they not count?
