  1. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    I’m absolutely Erik in at this point, and I’ve pretty much written off the rest of this season with the injuries we have. The fact that we’ve spent so much money and are unable to deal with injuries to 3 first team starters (Shaw, Martinez, and Hojlund) is absolutely criminal though. It’s the...
  2. City and Financial Doping | Charged by PL with numerous FFP breaches

    City have always been irrelevant. Even in a thread about how none of their success means anything, their fans are getting out-meltdowned by Chelsea fans. Up your delusional game lads!
  3. Lionel Messi | PSG Watch

    How many penalties has he scored from outside the box?
  4. Lisandro Martínez | 2022/23 Performances

    I think he’s my favourite current United player. It’s like they took all the good things about Daley Blind, and combined that with all the good things about Marcos Rojo.
  5. Scott McTominay | 2022/23 Performances

    You are aware McTominay didn’t start that game right?
  6. Fred vs McTominay

    I think both of them are more suited to a box-to-box role, and have both suffered from being asked to play a different position for most of their United careers. However, I think I can think of more outstanding McTominay performances than outstanding Fred performances. I also think it’s...
  7. Fred vs McTominay

    I’ve already posted this in the McTominay performance thread, but hey, I’m always keen to be educated, so I’ll try in here too. I am biased, because I've always liked McTominay, and used to find the “McFred” chat ridiculous, as if they were the same player. But am I right in thinking that...
  8. Scott McTominay | 2022/23 Performances

    I am biased, because I've always liked McTominay, and used to find the “McFred” chat ridiculous, as if they were the same player. But am I right in thinking that, this season: McTominay has started 6 games. Didn’t start v Sociedad, didn’t start v Brentford. So started 6, lost 1 (first game of...
  9. U.S. Soccer: the Women's National Team have finally obtained equal pay | New CBAs for both Men and Women

    The United States have recently set up a blind football team, to compete in the Paralympics in 2028. I take it they will be getting paid equally too? Or will it be like tennis (and every other sport), where all of the arguments for equality don’t go as far as paying disabled athletes equally?
  10. Is Sterling the best english player at the moment?

    Sterling is basically Pedro. Works hard, and loves a far post tap in, but pretty clearly one of those players who benefits from Pep’s system, rather than one who is fundamental to it.
  11. Mikel Arteta | Lego Pep watch

    Won the PL more recently than Arsenal. Won the CL more recently than Arsenal. And yet, most United fans are either outright unhappy about our recent performance, or at least slightly apprehensive. Just shows what a fall from Grace Arsenal have had. Or what a shambles their fan base is…
  12. Mikel Arteta | Lego Pep watch

    Just FYI, our lowest PL finish is higher than the consecutive 8th place finishes you’ve had in the last 2 seasons. Your new mid table reality is something most United fans haven’t experienced, even under Moyes, LVG, Jose, and Ole.
  13. Top 4 race / race abandoned (or maybe not) / Leicester & Chelsea in the process of bottling it

    I get that you’re probably saying this off the back of xG or whatever, which I don’t entirely disregard, but you’re pretty much ignoring the overall context of the season, our lack of preseason etc. We’ve lost 6 league games, 3 of which were in the first 6 games where we were clearly miles off...
  14. Henry vs Cantona - who was better

    Henry probably the better player (although I do think Cantona actually gets underrated as a football player because of his aura, a bit like how Keane gets underrated because people just remember his mentality), Cantona is the “greatest” Premier League player ever though, in terms of impact...
