  1. Sky Sports loses rights to La Liga

    I subscribe to Eleven Sports to get Premier League. It’s horrible. The matches are often joined in progress or not even shown. Local sporting competitions are given priority. Tuning in to watch an important match only to find out that a live Table Tennis tournament is being broadcast instead is...
  2. Patrice Evra Hates Thursdays | West Ham on a free?

    Not sure why everyone is calling him a fan. The guy was a troll. He went to the match to get a reaction from the players. He wanted to act all tough with his mates and see what they could stir up. The players dealt with the abuse for thirty minutes or so as reports state and then they...
  3. Post match vs Southampton

    I think if we learned anything from this game it's that Smalling and Jones should not be on the pitch at the same time. In the short time they shared the pitch they almost knocked each other out. It's like they are fated to injure each other.
  4. Pogba out for 4 to 6 weeks | No Megathreads

    Blessing? Will give Pogba a rest heading into a busy and important period. A well rested Pogba will give us a nice boost. I'm not worried about the fixtures he might miss as we have adequate cover and depth to fill in.
  5. Premier League Matchweek 3 (26-27 August)

    Shocking. There is absolutely no consistency in premier league reffing. Teams should have to plan their strategies to defeat their opponents, not to deal with how the ref will call the game. "Dean never to shy away from a controversy" the commentator says. The game should not be about the...
  6. Mourinho ditches the Lowry and gives fitness coach more prominent role

    It's obvious what happened. While doing Jose's whites the Lowry staff mixed in a red scarf. Now he is stuck with a closet full of pink shirts and underwear. This is merely revenge for that catastrophic mistake.
  7. Champions League Draw | United in group A with Benfica, Basel, CSKA Moskva

    Was bored so I did a mock draw. Group A Bayern-Utd-Besiktas and Celtic Group B Monaco-Dortmund-Spurs- Steaua Bucureşti Group C Benfica-City-Roma-CSKA Moscow Group D Chelsea-Porto-Napoli-Karabakh Group E Shaktar-Atletico-Anderlecht-APOEL Group F Juve-Barca-Liverpool-Feyenoord Group G...
  8. The Title Race 2017/18 | Done and dusted.

    I've read your post numerous times and I have absolutely no idea what you are trying to say or how it remotely relates to what posted. Cheers.
  9. Barcelona to sue Neymar over move to Paris St-Germain

    I really don't understand all the hate toward Barca on this. If we had a player sign a new contract with a massive signing bonus only to take the money and sign for another club a few months later we'd be seriously peeved too. Neymar and his father are in it for the money but if you keep...
  10. Marcos Rojo returns to first team training

    Great to see him back. Hope his rehab continues to go smoothly. It's great seeing his passion on the pitch. As long as he doesn't require a passport he's very reliable.
  11. The Title Race 2017/18 | Done and dusted.

    Not a good comparison. The league is closer to a marathon. You don't start predicting the winner just because somebody sprinted for the first few minutes after the gun. We can enjoy the start of the race but until the pack starts to thin everything is wide open. Players are still returning...
  12. Would you sell Smalling or Jones to rival for 40m?

    City and Pool have strong offenses and lack a quality defense. If Smalling or Jones provide the stability required to unleash their offense how is that any different? Our main concern is not strengthening a rival.
  13. Would you sell Smalling or Jones to rival for 40m?

    Strengthening a rival is not worth any amount of money. A club out of the top 6 without hesitation, but not a rival. Look how foolish Arsenal looked when RvP won us the league. Hopefully Chelsea will have similar egg on their face at the end of this season.
  14. That's all folks!

    I'm perfectly happy with the business we have done this summer. Some cover for Tony V would have been nice but I like the squad we have. Martial needs to make LW his and Mata Mkh can work along the right side. The flicks and tricks we were putting together against the hammers demonstrated the...
  15. New signing you thought would turn out better

    I'll go with Memphis. I thought he was going to be our dead ball specialist. After watching so many horrible spot kicks I thought with his reputation that our problems were going to be solved.
