  1. Bruno Fernandes | 2024/25 Performances

    Say what you will about his "Hollywood" passes and his brain fade moments but he bleeds red. Never gives others an inch, runs hard, day after day, week after week, for every fecking match. Doesn't need to be mollycoddled, doesn't need rest, doesn't need "managing" but steps up and takes...
  2. Fair play from Dorgu

    It's so refreshing to see what a difference it makes when a player really wants to play for the shirt. We may be battling relegation but I would any day watch players like Dorgu and Heaven leave everything they have on the pitch than the overpaid prima donnas like Rashford and Sancho, throwing...
  3. Harry Maguire | 2024/25 Performances

    His comeback has been nothing short of extraordinary. He had hit rock bottom and due to the pub brawl his personal life algo got entwined with it as well. However, everyone needs to respect his resilience and sense of pride. He hunkered down, lost the captaincy and the respect, was indirectly...
  4. Manchester United view sidelining Marcus Rashford as key to cultural reboot

    Something has definitely happened behind the scenes that none of us are privy to. It can't entirely be a footballing decision since (as you rightly point out) we are giving opportunities to players in worse form than Rashford. In a way I am glad that whatever it is isn't playing out in the...
  5. Jadon Sancho | Ornstein: Chelsea transfer falls through | Romano: Not expected to stay at United

    Excellent news. I hope he impresses the Chelsea manager to the degree that they take him off our hands. God knows we need retribution for Mount and Mata.
  6. Manchester City vs Manchester United

    That’s a damning statement, especially from a new manager who had wiped the slate clean. I have given up hope with Rashford. He has lost his motivation to succeed. Deep down I think he is done at this level. Garnacho is a different animal. He must quickly realise that he isn’t ever going to be...
  7. Cricket

    We need someone like that at the top to fight back. It shouldn't be on him to curtail his natural game because our overpaid legendary middle order can't do crap. Every time our openers fail, our middle order fails too. Let's not forget that one of India's best test players played up top with a...
  8. Paul Pogba - Free Agent | ban reduced - able to play competitively from March 2025

    This is literally the definition of insanity. We keep trying the same thing multiple times and expect different results. If this happens then the new regime has started in the worst possible way. Pogba has lost his hunger years back. He has no interest in pursuing team goals and championship...
  9. Facts about football that shouldn't be true - but are

    I think Leicester winning the league has to be up there at least in my lifetime. It's not like they did it in a farmer's league. They won the most competitive league in the world after 38 games. It's unprecedented and I don't think any team with the wages they pay will win the PL anytime soon.
  10. Facts about football that shouldn't be true - but are

    You are bang out of order accusing them of anything.
  11. Which of our player's fit Amorim's style/tactics particularly well or poorly?

    Did you read the rest of his post? What do you think about the constant decline in value that he pointed out? I was excited about the De Ligt transfer initially but now I am not sure what the fuss was all about. We leaked goals so ETH went out and got the highest profile defender that was...
  12. Antony (Out) - Tranfer talk only

    After spending more than a billion pounds in players, this is what their owners feel is holding them back? That's awesome.
  13. Erik Ten Hag appreciation thread

    I just read this damning statistic so thought I will post it here. The last time we managed fewer than 9 goals at this stage in the league, we got relegated. That itself is grounds for firing. Ultimately, the job proved too much of a poisoned chalice for him with the injuries, player egos...
  14. Are players ever justified in being happy a manager is gone?

    Don't know what the discussion is all about. These individuals were shown a mirror to their faces which hurt their ego. Now they want to have their moment of fun - let them have it. Does it mean that these guys are deluded and least interested in improving their careers? Does it mean that they...
  15. Vinicius Junior

    Surprising thing is that they won a couple of awards themselves. It was really disrespectful of not just Rodri but also Kylian Mbappe their own player and Carlo Ancelloti their own manager. I don't know what they are smoking but was it so hard to act classy? Also, for whom Vinicius Jr? He is...
