Remember saying to my old man, “He’s the real deal”, after the Barcelona win at Old Trafford. How’ve we gone from that to where we are now under him in less than a year, with a trophy sandwiched in between?

Tight margins in games like these, and when you look at this group as a whole, the mistakes he’s made have been the difference between winning and losing/drawing.

Not to be a pessimist, but does anyone else just feel like with Pep at City, and to a lesser extent, Klopp at Liverpool, whoever we bring in however good they may be are never going to compete with either of them. The problems here are bigger than the manager and the players, and identifying...

Why would they care about his intention to clear the debt and invest in the team/infrastructure? You wouldn’t list a car for sale for £4500 and when a buyer turns up and outlays his plans to fit a new spoiler, leather seats and new alloys, then go ahead and take less than you were originally...

Pressures on Ten Hag massively now. That said, the goals we’ve conceded tonight can’t come from bad coaching, it’s brainless play from senior professionals.

I’d like us to adapt a 2 season policy for big money signings. First season is a grace period where a player is given time to fit into their new surroundings, second season is where a player needs to nail down a starting position and show they can perform on a consistent basis. For me...

This, we’ve hired every type of manager, every profile of player, spent millions upon millions, and the end result is still the same. We’re a forgotten team being left behind by clubs with owners who have real ambition.

They’re not like for like, but to me, the response to Mendy made it clear that a lot of Footballer’s very much view women in a ‘Us v Them’ kind of light. One false claim could be conceivable, 6 being brought before a jury, with a further 12 unwilling to put themselves through the agony of a...

Judging by the response to the Mendy verdict, a lot of Footballer’s would be very sympathetic to Greenwood’s situation.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

What’s baffling to me is how the club thought a player of Greenwood’s age, missing 18 months of Football at a pivotal stage of his career, could somehow slot into a team, under a new manager and STILL be worth the hassle they had to have known bringing him back would have/has brought on the club.

It’s basically “He can still play Football, would you rather him score goals for City, Liverpool or for us” rephrased. I’ve not seen one take on this that doesn’t agree that this was the best course of action that isn’t trying to justify his reintegration and excuse his action.

Yes, that is literally the argument.

This has been handled horribly by the club. All it would’ve taken is a simple phone call to any half decent PR firm who would have told the club of the backlash they’d face regarding Greenwood’s reintegration. the statement last week as a measuring stick of people’s attitudes, followed by...

Like losing your virginity to a prostitute winning your first bit of silverware over there.
