  1. Post match vs Sevilla

    Obviously very disappointed with our performance last night. Credit to Sevilla, they played well, defended so well we hardly breached them and their substitution after 70 mins was class. But, I don't understand going out, powder puff, over two legs : at some point you have to try your hand and...
  2. Real Madrid and Liverpool - their support after The Munich disaster

    Very nice post on such a day, heart warming
  3. Post match vs Arsenal

    Watched it in my local ( I live darn Sarf now ) with a mix of United and Bummers fans, riveting match, fab goals from us and de Gea stopped us from throwing it away as we did ride our luck at times.......although our quick switch to attack always threatened cutting Arsenal open at any time.....
  4. The Pogba red card

    I just watched the MoTD lowlights, and I notice Wright and Lineker were of the opinion that Pog was unlucky, serial United hater Shearer was in no doubt it was a red card. From the ref's point of view I can understand why he sent Pog off, it ended up being a dangerous challenge. A combo of Pog...
  5. Post match vs FC Basel

    Only watched the 2nd half, and it was poor: sloppy, careless loss of possession on too many occasions. Darmian is a liability. What a chance to have put the likes of McTominay, Shaw and Tuanzebe. What was there to lose ? I believe we missed a hat full of chances in the first half, but hey, in...
  6. Post match vs Chelsea

    My thoughts : Rashford should have buried his early chance, who knows what would have occurred after that. We never came out for the second half apart from kicking lumps out of Hazard early on. Morata scored a good goal and is clearly in better form than Lukaku who appears to be suffering a...
  7. Post match vs Benfica

    Of course, we are not pulling up any trees, however, we've been dog sh*t in the recent UCL group stages, again, against relatively, so called 'inferior' opposition....
  8. Post match vs Benfica

    It wasn't a bad game, fair play to Benfica, they had nothing to lose and played quite well, but we did create good situations and may be didn't make the best of them. I sometimes think people forget how far we slumped after Fergie left, as witnessed by the fact this will be our first...
  9. Lee Sharpe - discuss

    Lee Sharpe, what a find by Fergie's scouts, IIRC Fergie turned up at Torquay's ground in a 'Balaklava' to watch Shapie, but was sussed straight away at the back of the stand. Played wonderfully well at full back in the 'Fergie's Fledgling' years, then developed into a decent winger, auxiliary...
  10. Post match vs Huddersfield Town

    I think that we have to give Huddersfield some respect for their tactics, which, by forcing two errors out of us for their goals, which we obviously helped them with, and then they just sat back on their penalty area and toughed it out. Yes, we miss Pogba, and may be Felli too, unfortunately...
  11. Post match vs Liverpool

    It's funny how times change, time was when a draw was a good result at Anfield, now, due to the pragmatic reputation of our Manager, it is fashionable to label the performance as 'park the bus' football....... may be 'park and ride' the pressure ? anyway, I have been to Anfield on many...
  12. SAF reneged on 'concrete' agreement to manage Tottenham, says former Spurs chairman

    There's a song there somewhere....'the handshake, seals the contract, from the contract, there's no turning back'......... but hey, it's just a song..... ah well, most people meeting in such circumstances would handshake initially and no doubt at the end, that Irving the Scholar read too much...
  13. Post match vs CSKA Moscow

    Fine performance, Martial fantastic....did a 5th official really give a decision ? I wonder if Golovin is on our radar ?
  14. "Only the PL and CL matter, the rest doesn't"

    Totally agree, and Arsenal fans will also agree that Wenger fluffed too many League Cup semis and finals and his recent FA Cup haul is all rather too hollow for them now....too little too late as they can no longer maintain any sort of challenge in the League or UCL
  15. Do we have a good chance to win the champions league this season?

    I think we'll do well to get to the semis this season, we're still well short of a few of the top teams, so I give us no more than a 1 in 20 chance
