  1. That Nani red card against Real Madrid

    What still infuriates me the most is that in the exact same match, the Real Madrid keeper jumped for the ball at a corner, missed it completely and then as a result punched Vidic in the face. Nothing happened and nobody remembers it, but in the VAR era that situation would've been a penalty...
  2. Erik ten Hag vs Sancho

    Everytime I see a guy like Sancho, or perhaps Martial wasting their career I think about this. There's no big mystery to why they're not performing.
  3. Jadon Sancho (Out)

    Was that the League Cup game against Chelski away where Anderson gave 3 assists within 70 minutes or so? :drool: Players like Anderson are what made us so great under Ferguson. We had the likes of Carrick, Scholes, Fletcher, Rooney, Giggs ahead of him for the 3 midfield positions. Anderson was...
  4. Qualify for the Europa League or exit Europe?

    All our managers have applied the same logic as well, also with their jobs constantly being under pressure they've had the short term fixation on instant success to relief such pressure. This has brought us nowhere other than winning some 'meaningless' trophies after which the fans still weren't...
  5. André Onana | 2023/24 Performances

    Feel somewhat bad for him. Didn't help at all that Ziyech practised free kicks on him for years at Ajax. Onana looked nervous as hell when Ziyech was about to take the first one. A bit like having to take a penalty against a keeper that you've played with for years, fecks with you mentally...
  6. Qualify for the Europa League or exit Europe?

    Exit. Actually for the next few years it should either be CL football or focus on the league in my opinion. European football on Thursdays just seems so detrimental. Winning the Europa League was hardly a great experience, only covered up flaws and relieved some short term pressure. Chelsea's...
  7. Erik ten Hag vs Sancho

    Exactly, I've no idea how people come up with the 'Fergie would never criticize players in public' nonsense.
  8. Mason Greenwood | Please be respectful and stay on topic

    This is the confusing part for me. Cutting all ties with Greenwood wouldn't be unreasonable given the circumstances. However you could make an argument for giving him a second chance as well. At the very least you'd expect some kind of plan in that case though. A club statement along the lines...
  9. Pro Cycling 2023

    Fair enough, it was hardly the most sympathetic move! Though he did mention talking it over with Eenkhoorn the day after. The reactions though, for example on Dutch and Belgian cycling websites... Philipsen apparently is the dirtiest rider in Tour de France history. He ruined the whole...
  10. Pro Cycling 2023

    Yeah, I've noticed that there's a lot of negativity towards Philipsen and I can understand why to a certain extent, but still it's somewhat suprising to even see someone Belgian react like this. I figured you'd at least be very proud of your fellow countryman. Personally I've both been very...
  11. The RedCafe Boxing Thread

    Love how many people seem to be offended that Fury is fighting Ngannou, I saw some weird talk show hosts from YouTube channels I'd never heard of completely lose their mind about the announcement. Boxing has been shite or years, not very often that you get two of the best in their weight class...
  12. André Onana | signed for United | On a flight to NYC

    How many times have the geniuses who referred to Barthez mentioned that we won the Premier League two times in three seasons with him in goal, I wonder?
  13. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Fair enough, I presumed you used the word 'another' to refer to someone else than Promes. Ten Hag had a friendship with Overmars for over 10 years, working together at two different clubs. He owes most of his succes directly to Overmars. Still the first thing he did when his behaviour became...
  14. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Ten Hag did a lot of things, suggesting he flat out defended Overmars, or specifically his actions towards female employees at Ajax, well that just isn't true at all. Realistically I think Ten Hag handled that situation quite well, like you'd expect a somewhat decent person to handle such a...
