  1. Ole Gunnar Solskjær | 2021/22 Discussion

    What else is there to be said. Liverpool could have scored 12 and you, me and every other poster on this site knows it. This man is a relegation level coach. Even Steve Bruce can coach a better defence. I loved Ole as a player but yeah, it's time to admit rival fans and pundits were right about him.
  2. Villarreal - Manchester United | EL Final Build-up Thread

    Some wankers just want to moan about everything. It's a major trophy and a huge deal for our team.
  3. Weird things about football that are true but don't sound it

    Till he was 27, Yaya Toure had scored fewer than 25 goals in his club career. In fact those with long memories will recall he was one of the centre halves in the Rome final (2009).
  4. Will India & China produce world-class footballers soon?

    I don't mean you OP, but most people don't seem to understand the sheer effort it takes to make a system that produces quality talent. Indian children begin playing football at age 10 not at 5-6. Schools have woeful infrastructure for sports at the best of times and the cities are not designed...
  5. Youri Tielemans | signs for Villa

    If it's a reasonable price (which it won't be), we should buy him. He's a brilliant player, a proper centre midfielder who can pull the strings in midfield and slow things down. They are probably the rarest players in the game. We lost out on Modric, we should at least make an attempt to lure...
  6. Donny van de Beek | 2020/21 Performances

    He looked like he's finally adapted to the robustness of the league. Fought for everything. Long may it continue.
  7. Arse FAM TV

    Didn't even get the St. Totteringham's day trophy eh lads?
  8. Jermaine Jenas in line to replace Gary Lineker - Ian Wright leaving MOTD

    Aye because Lineker is known for his studied silence :lol: If it happens we'll be stuck with Jenas for decades.
  9. Arse FAM TV

    :lol: Poor Moh, somehow manages to get shafted by Robbie and still come across as the biggest bellend on a channel that has Ty and DT as regulars.
  10. THAT penalty shootout

    Van der Sar's story is one of the more remarkable ones here. He'd gone from making blunders for Juve to moving to Fulham at 30. I don't recall him being regarded as an especially great penalty killer at the time (though he did fluke one against City in 06-07) and he'd lost a few shootouts. How...
  11. What level could an old great team play at ?

    Too much is made of this. Veratti, Vidal, Sneijder, Naingollan and plenty of others are not exactly models of Olympian fitness. If Eric Dier can make a living in the 2010s despite his inability to trap a bag of cement, then I'm sure Ruud Gullit, Dalglish and Souness would do just fine.
  12. The Tottenham Hotspur 2020/21 thread

    Wow that was rotten. Spurs fans, where does that rank among the season's worst performances?
  13. Phil Foden - What Is His Potential?

    He's a mini-Messi. The goal he scored yesterday was astonishing. What strength and balance to ragdoll Ben White!
  14. Luke Shaw - ManUtd players' player of the year

    All good but who won the Scott McTominay award for manager's most 'umble player of the year?
  15. Worst players we’ve been linked with

    Cra/wildly overrated: Eric Dier - £50M Danny Rose - £50M Nikica Jelavic - £13M. This one came from the man himself. Yerry Mina Charlie Adam - £10M - and that was just for his corner kicks! Decent players: Arnautovic - not a bad player talent wise but come on. Moussa Dembele - as a forward if...
