  • Essentially I agree with you but I think Sam`s position makes it more of an issue about privileged people who are involved in various campaigns against racism etc behaving in ways that are similar to those they tell others not to do. If she did...
  • I get what you wrote about the legal side of it. There is a difference but I think the attempts from Sam`s supporters in the media who also are very quick to be all over people from the opposite political spectrum - not talking any extremists...
  • As an Australian, it was interesting to read in various newspapers that apparently Australians `agree` that nothing wrong was said if the allegation is true that she abused a white Police Officer by calling him `A stupid white bastard`. While...
  • ryansgirl replied to the thread How good was Ryan Giggs?.
    Scholesy was the ultimate quiet achiever - and as a few perceptive football writers noted, his reserve and refusal to live the life of a top tier footballer in terms of the PR and lifestyle considered normal tended to make him under-rated by too...
  • ryansgirl replied to the thread How good was Ryan Giggs?.
    You`re entitled to your opinion and we all have our biases - even me.....However, Giggsy never ran like Forrest Gump or some of the donkeys in English football. He was similar to Georgie Best which is praise indeed - with more defensive...
  • Great video, thanks for warming our hearts and very best wishes to Pete - you`ve got people you don`t know and will never rmeet sending you positive thoughts. Never give up.
  • ryansgirl replied to the thread How good was Dwight Yorke?.
    Aaah, the Yorkie-Goal King Cole combo literally brings a tear or more to my eyes when I think of those times. Of course they were getting great service from Becks and co which made things easier but their partnership was one of the most...
  • I don`t think Jesse`s forays into the J Lingz brand, laughing at rival fans behaving like a mob of morons in targeting the United team bus, hanging out at events in the public eye with Marcus etc actually affected his performances on the pitch...
  • Valid points but would Marcus be different if he had been surrounded by players like the Nevilles, Beckham, Scholesy and Nicky Butt who usually all pulled together and encouraged each other - probably. Gary Nev had a rep for being mouthy and...
  • ryansgirl replied to the thread Jose wants to return.
    No, no and no again to the Moyes comment. Maybe you don`t remember the way he managed to alienate within a very short time the same players who were title winners by his small-time approach to proven winners, his lack of tactical nouse, his...
  • Is he having difficulty adjusting to life in the UK? Not every professional sports player is cut out to be a happy nomad living here and there, coming up against different ways of doing things in their new teams. Obviously the UK`s...
  • The Class of 92 occurred at a particular time in a different context, timeline and demographic-wise. Manchester United never spent that much on players although Sir Alex wanted top European players like Figo to come to Old Trafford. While this...
  • Good point - Marcus may, notice I say may, be the type of talented player who never develops into the player that people think he is because of inconsistency and getting distracted by whatever is going on behind the scenes. However, he grew up at...
  • ryansgirl replied to the thread Who replaces Ten Hag?.
    I can`t believe Mourinho`s name is even being mentioned. The sad thing is, if we could have got him after Sir Alex then that was the time to get him and United would have been on a different path. Coached at Real Madrid, managed later at Real...
  • Thanks for the laugh. I don`t post often but I do recall there are some oddbods here who enjoy aggressively pursuing targeted posters and will keep doing it as they can`t get by without a response. Then they whinge about others `derailing`. I`ll...
