  • Never go full LVG!
  • I saw it in a trashy tabloid that Sancho would consider coming back after EtH left but I'd rather not support him given the hassle he caused, it would be bowing to mediocrity.
  • Agreed. When SAF left, I thought I was being clever because I thought some form of mean reversion would happen. It seemed obvious to me that we weren't going to see lightning captured in a bottle again so be prepared for some painful performances...
  • I think there's a lot of truth in what you're saying but it's quite complex. There's definitely a problem with having to accommodate our "way" and I'm as guilty as anyone I suppose. I always had this anti-Jose mindset but when appointed I felt...
  • I liked that one as well. Funnily enough it sounds like something Agent Smith from the matrix might say.
  • Kellyiom replied to the thread Who are the "problem" players..
    Totally agree. If I was in charge of recruitment at Arsenal, Citeh or 'pool and they said take your pick from our team as a man for man replacement, I'd struggle to justify it. Probably Garnacho & Mainoo. We must have very poor scouting to keep...
  • Kellyiom replied to the thread Mason Mount's Misfortune.
    That's what I thought although I hadn't watched Chelsea. Maybe he's seen what a disaster it's been and has been keeping out of it as much as possible!
  • Spot on I think. Hopefully we can get the cup everyone can just move on from it all. I'm still amazed at how an upward trajectory was reversed so drastically.
  • I think that and @bushyzor are making fair comment on the situation. I really don't know who could replace him. The 7-0 shocked me tbh and showed me how behind we are. Part of it is we're playing whack a mole where we address one failing to...
  • Yes, I'm afraid that really is looking bleak, for this late in the season. Our performances have really looked more like that of a team in the lower half or trying to keep out of the relegation zone. As it happens I do think Onana will make a...
  • As I read that, tears welled in my eyes thinking of Morrisey's sorrowful voice on I Know It's Over!
  • Kellyiom replied to the thread Warning: Positive United story.
    This is the kind of thing I remember nostalgically about 'my' club. I've really felt disconnected when I saw that enormous net spend figure and I understand football has changed. Just nice to see this.
  • Yeah it's weird, a bit like old Soviet photos editing out people who had gone to the gulag.
  • For me, the 7-0 is a major factor but I don't know how that would be allowed to become entrenched in our mentality. Maybe I'm misremembering but didn't Shaw make some odd, cryptic comments about it that suggested there are issues all over the...
  • I think you're mostly right but there are a few factors - injuries happen when : - an under trained muscle group is over exerted (conditioning issue) - a player is forced into an unexpected activity (tactical error) - contact occurs with a...
