  1. Anthony Martial | 2023/24 Performances

    Some very harsch ratings here that seems to be based on previous years. Looking at today's game only he provided a link-up we haven't been close to seeing the previous two games. That said, looked like Casemiro or Eriksen in his first cameos, rusty and cumbersome at times.
  2. Donny Van De Beek | he stays!

    Think that would be a good move for him. There is a player there and a mid-table Spanish side is probably the right level. Actually had the chance to see Real Sociedad this spring and Silva was brilliant. Not fast or strong but technique still there and his footballing-brain 3 times the speed...
  3. Who from the current United team would you want in your pub quiz team?

    I'd resign Mata just to win the quiz.
  4. Snus

    So I am Swedish and a long time user of snus, the old-school Swedish type. For a professional athlete there are zero benefits to using it in terms of performance on the pitch and of course no health benefits for the average Sven either. Effects like killing you gums, possibly increased risk of...
  5. What made you become a supporter of this club?

    So I started following United somewhere late 70’s/early 80’s. Back then in Sweden we would get one televised game of First Division football per week on a Saturday afternoon TV-show, which apart from playing myself was the highlight of my week. Didn’t really know much about anything at that age...
  6. Ralf Rangnick | ex-interim manager | does anyone rate him?

    Sounds good! Get a football brain in there!
  7. Slow Build-up play

    This is something VdB does better than McFred. Also more press-resistant.
  8. Are the yooof really losing interest in the beautiful game?

    My kids, both now in their later teens and their friends who are largely football players. I coached both the boys teams so the last 10 years or so has been been a lot of football. Good thing I have an understanding wife:)
  9. Are the yooof really losing interest in the beautiful game?

    I agree that there is something in this. The teenagers I have around me to a large degree are more into watching highlights and browsing through club/player/various football accounts on social media than watching full games. But I also know that none of the have the slightest chance of paying...
  10. Post match vs Manchester City

    Fantastic! Cred to Ole, got the plan spot on for this team. Beat Pep again. Spotted Williams struggling (obviously) and changed it. Ighalo is very useful, solid player.
  11. FPL Subscribe (twitter gossip): Rashford back injury (possibily out for the season)

    I’m not a medical expert or anything but a “fractured back” means a fractured vertebra. That’s not something you pick up from being played too much. It comes from severe violence to your back like what happened to Neymar at the 2014 WC. From the replays of the tackle on Rashford it doesn’t look...
  12. David de Gea | 2019/20 Performances

    Watched the Sweden-Spain game last night and my guess is it isn't too bad. Kepa was warming up during HT so my take is that DDG felt something just before HT and then decided to come off when the problem was still there. I think/hope he's ok.
