  1. Xabi Alonso: Bayer Leverkusen manager - Bundesliga Dinner Plate Winner

    Bring him to the Theatre! Appointing him or Carrick would be the best thing this club has done in a decade!
  2. Michael Carrick - Middlesbrough Manager

    I would take him as ten hag's replacement tomorrow! Followed him closely since he took the Boro job and hes exceeded all expectations there. They were 21st when Carrick took over facing relegation yet he still managed to take them to the championship playoffs. Had a terrible start to this...
  3. Who replaces Ten Hag?

    Only real candidates should be Michael Carrick or Xabi Alonso. Both those guys are showing that they are destined for greatness as managers. Arsenal and Spurs took a chance on two unproven managers and are reaping the rewards. We won't go wrong with either of those 2
  4. Bruno Fernandes | 2023/24 Performances

    It absolutely baffles me how this guy's managed to play 90 minutes every game this season. He operates with complete impunity knowing ten hag will never take him off. His kick and hope for the best style of play is not conducive to the style of football needed to challenge the best. If bruno...
  5. Bruno Fernandes | 2023/24 Performances

    Bruno's been a liability and a passenger so often in these big games, his style of play is just not conducive to success imo. What bugs me even more is how he's seemingly untouchable on the pitch. No matter how shit he is he'll never be benched. Meanwhile a young gun like hanibal scores on the...
  6. Would you take Conte at United?

    Are there any Inter fans on here that can elaborate further on Conte's style, philosophy and management during his 2 years there?
  7. Would you take Conte at United?

    Perfect response!
  8. Manchester United sign Raphael Varane! (not in time for Leeds)

    Crazy how the narrative around him has changed going by the reaction of rival fans. Apparently he was just fortunate to be a part of a great Real squad and lucky enough to play alongside Sergio Ramos. Never mind that Real's success coincided with signing Varane in 2011 and how he basically...
  9. Players you had forgotten existed

    Nobby Solano and Laurent Robert from those early 2000's Newcastle United team were always a handful on their day. Robert in particular had a wonderful left foot if I remember correctly
  10. Marcus Rashford | 2017/18 Performances

    He's so much better in that hybrid 10 role than he is as a solitary striker or winger. For me he's at his best when he has space in and around the middle of the park as opposed to the wing. Kind of like the role Rooney played for us in his prime. The problem is we have so many players in our...
  11. Things in football that make you cringe...

    Players who directly assist a goal then seemingly refuse to celebrate with the goalscorer as they feel all the plaudits should come to them and them alone.
  12. Ander Herrera | 2017/18 Performances

    Sad to see how far he's fallen off from last season. I think the holding midfield role was perfect for him but now with matic's arrival he's had to go back to being the allround player that had a tenancy for erratic play. With that said no player is immune to a drop in form. I've still got...
  13. Manchester United vs Cambridge United

    Surely someone from the extended Van Gaal family does. Better to take no chances
  14. Manchester United vs Cambridge United

    No coincidence that the game is so much more free flowing when Herrera and Wilson are out there. A little speed makes a huge difference... Take note Louis
