  1. Mason Greenwood | Please be respectful and stay on topic

    No, It doesn't say anything like that was wrong. They're saying they don't think he committed the offenses of which he was charged, but that is *miles* different than saying he wasn't wrong. You can be wrong - horribly wrong, in fact - without having broken the technical definition of a law or...
  2. Champions League Final: FC Internazionale Milano vs 115 Charges FC

    I've got one mate who is a City fan, been a season ticket holder since the late 70s. Been with them through the shit years, never wavered, never sold it. I'm happy for him, and only him. I don't know if I could keep supporting if that happened to my club, but I get it was tough for him at...
  3. Antony | 2022/23 Performances

    Antony may still develop into a good player but mate, if he goes on to have a better premier league career than Saka, I want you to find this post, quote it, and I promise you I will get a tattoo of Antony right on my arse. Hell, I'll even get another one on the other cheek so it looks like he's...
  4. Oleksandr Zinchenko: The most underrated player in the PL?

    I don't think that's quite right. The usual fill-in for Zinchenko is Tierney, and while I do like him, he's a completely different kind of player. Tierney is more of a hug-the-touchline and send crosses into the box - very much more in line with the traditional attacking fullback position. He's...
  5. The mythical talents of Antony

    He wasn't your worst player by any stretch today. Could have been much better, but not why you lost the game. This piling on for the sake of piling on can feel good, but it's not useful football discussion.
  6. Marcus Rashford | 2022/23 Performances

    He needs to do some work on certain parts of his game, but without him you would be in some serious, serious, trouble. He's the only player today who made me clench my buttocks when he got the ball. If you traded off what he did offensively for the other aspects of his game that are lacking, I'm...
  7. Antony | 2022/23 Performances

    Whether or not he was ever world class (I tend to think he got awfully close for a couple of years there) the major difference from an outsider's perspective now is that I *never* looked forward to playing against Nani, especially after some of his goals against us. When I saw him on the team...
  8. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    What counts as a reaction? What is "unthinkable"? At least in the short term, I think you need to adjust your expectations. This United team is *not good.* Their confidence is *non-existent.* Liverpool has stumbled, but you are getting ready to go up against what is a perennial title contender...
