Bertie Wooster's latest activity

If we're going off dislikes of looks (with Jones and Murphy), then I'll throw in my dislike of Stuart Bingham. He looks like how an annoying git I went to school with (and still have to encounter from time to time) has grown up looking like -...

I'm struggling to read it as I'm not registered with The Athletic, but that would be a really shit deal if we end up just loaning Greenwood out again next year. You could understand it this year with the timing of it all, and doubts as to his...

Looks a strong group. We've already seen a good few of them at U18 level. Presumably a new striker will be one of the signings as we look a little light in that department?

Having read all these threads and followed the Youth tournament's, etc, then I've obviously heard of all 5 that are leaving, and know their positions, but I don't know too much about their ability. Being attacking players, Majid Balogun and Siem...

? I'm hardly 'dumbing down' standards - I'm just recognising where we're currently at. I said I always wanted us to finish as high as possible. This season, that happens to be a battle for EL / ECL. So I want us to achieve that. That doesn't...

I care about us finishing as high as we can and competing in whatever competitions that qualifies us for. At our current level, being in the EL or ECL is a much more realistic chance of a trophy. And as we've only ever won 5 European trophies...

Cup competitions are not a "distraction" to the season - they are a big part of it! Every year we go into a season knowing we have two domestic cups to go for, and should have a European campaign as well. That's part of a Man United season that...

Each to their own, but I really don't get this thinking at all. It's the whole "PL and CL are all that matters" type attitude that I just don't go along with. There's two major domestic cups, and three major European titles - and whichever we are...

It does feel this nightmare season is heading to a slow death of missing out on europe entirely by finishing 8th and losing in the cup final. :(

Yeah. He does seem to be one of those who is more threatening pace than end product.

Yeah, surprisingly not to see him in either of the U21 or U18 squads. He could be included in the senior squad I suppose? But as he'd be unlikely to feature I'd have still expected him to play last night for the U21's. Hope he hasn't picked up...

Ah, thanks. I thought he was a year older than that. Makes sense then.

Has Louie Bradbury been released, or is he injured? If he's still here and fit I'd have thought he'd have been in contention for an appearance as well as a player who's apparently being released or players from age groups below (Rooney or Gabriel)?

Awful effort. I was expecting a defeat, but thought / hoped we'd compete better than the contest being as good as over by half an hour, and definitely over by HT. Only consolation of course is that all the ones more likely to make the first...

Yep. I agree. I can't imagine they're using such tight pockets in the women's game, surely? There's already a huge gulf in the amount of high breaks you get there - if they have to deal with these pockets they'll really struggle! But then, if...
