  1. VAR and Refs | General Discussion | Forest go into meltdown

    I know that the referees are provided by PGMOL, but who ‘employs’ them - is it the FA who provide them to the PL are do the PL employ them directly? Just wondering what is stopping the PL from saying “We’re no longer going to put up with this crap so will go and get our own referees for PL...
  2. Let's say INEOS go full fire sale this summer: Who are your untouchables?

    I’d add Dalot to that list irrespective of his cock-up tonight. Ordinarily I’d have had Shaw and Martinez on the list but they can’t stay fit for five minutes so they can go too as far as I’m concerned.
  3. The genius of Marcus Rashford

    I could accept him looking pissed off on the pitch (I.e. like Bruno) if he was busting a gut on the field, but he just looks like he can’t be bothered. If he has personal problems then he needs to be removed from the team to help him work through them. He’s contributing so little anyway that...
  4. The genius of Marcus Rashford

    Agreed. Can you imagine a player from Liverpool or City or Arsenal (or any other team) being accused of bad body language or looking like they’re not putting the effort in? It just doesn’t happen. I mean, Bruno’s body language is shocking at times but he looks like he cares too much. It...
  5. The genius of Marcus Rashford

    I watched the game last night and Alan Shearer was fairly critical of his body language. I might be wrong, but I don’t recall ever hearing any other player get called out for bad body language or lack of effort and yet we have Rashford (and Sancho) who just seem to be going through the motions...
  6. Jadon Sancho Borussia Dortmund loan watch (Has ended ten Hag)

    100%. I can accept occasional sub-standard performances from any player but lack of effort infuriates me and those two are the prime examples of that in the squad.
  7. Top 10 greatest players of all time

    Hard to disagree with any of these.
  8. VAR and Refs | General Discussion | Forest go into meltdown

    I have to wonder what Sky make of his performance on this show - why would you want to pay money for someone to always back-up the referee's decision, even when it is demonstrably wrong? You'd be as well saving the money and replacing Gallagher with some AI generated talking head constantly...
  9. VAR and Refs | General Discussion | Forest go into meltdown

    You may well be right, but equally, MU may have privately contacted PGMOL and asked for an explanation of certain decisions. Sadly, maybe we need to react like Arteta and Klopp to get anyone to pay attention to our grievances.
  10. Sir Jim reportedly deems ETH's position not a priority unless results are particularly dire - missed opportunity or the right decision?

    Yes he has, hence the reason why I think he’ll be gone in summer. I just don’t think they’ll rush to sack him.
  11. Sir Jim reportedly deems ETH's position not a priority unless results are particularly dire - missed opportunity or the right decision?

    Which is why I said that I think he’ll be gone in summer as I don’t think that he’ll be able to establish a playing style in the next four months. Not sure that there’s an obvious candidate to replace him so I think he’ll be left in position until summer and assuming no upturn in our fortunes...
  12. Sir Jim reportedly deems ETH's position not a priority unless results are particularly dire - missed opportunity or the right decision?

    I’d be amazed if he doesn’t get until the end of the season to prove himself (or otherwise). We are not making top 4 and unlikely to win the FA Cup so not much to play for. It is however an opportunity to establish a playing style for next season and beyond. Having said all of that, I think...
  13. Rasmus Højlund | 2023/24 Performances

    IMO, we need to be patient with him because I believe that he'll be a very good PL striker in a year or two. No doubt we paid too much for him and he isn't ready to start games regularly but that's where the market is for top (hopefully) talent. He isn't being helped by the fact that the players...
  14. Marcus Rashford | 2023/24 Performances

    Infuriating player who never seems to make the right decision. Garnacho looks far more effective.
