  1. ten Hag vs The Players - Who do you think will win out?

    Agree with this. Footballers are on the whole, thick. They know this manager won't stand for any nonsense, and in a different way to how it was under Jose. Jose when he arrived at United was already 'damaged goods' to a certain degree, and a whiff of yesterdays man about him. Not so this...
  2. Frenkie de Jong | The last muppeting lap

    Fair point, but He is genuinely world-class and would most likely get into both City's and Liverpool's team - when was the last signing we could say that about?

  7. We will never win the league with Marcus Rashford in the team

    What puzzles me is the media love-in with Rashford, for example on Talksport, where he is routinely labeled as "undoubtedly a great player who has lost his way..." Is it just me? I see a player who is not a 'youngster' anymore, and who has not improved one iota from when he was 19 'great'...
