    Sancho performing well in a high profile game helps his value. That’s great. But he’s been decidedly average since his return to Dortmund, and even if he ends up playing great there, he’s shown he’s not cut out to play in the premier league or at...
  • I’m offended by the thread title. I was feeling good about myself today, only to be labelled “old” because I remember that season. fecker.
  • simonhch replied to the thread Astronomy & Space Exploration.
    Technology innovation is usually driven by necessity. The moon landing had a powerful geo-political driver behind it for instance. Concorde was driven by the idea that most passengers would want to travel so fast and it would be ultimately, down...
  • Ineos are clearly shaping up for a massive clear out. Another article saying AWB, Casemiro, and Varane are all potentially Saudi bound. Hopefully for decent fees. That right there will pull in some dough, and crucially move on two of our highest...

    1/10 performance. 10/10 bantz

    I’d love to see what would happen if you gave prime Fergie this exact same squad for a season.

    The lack of structure in this game is reminiscent of amateur or lower league football.
  • simonhch replied to the thread Manchester United vs Burnley.
    We are embarrassingly bad.
  • That’s pretty much in line with my take too. A good manager has the strong basis of a solid top four squad there. With 3 or so signings, this could be transformed into a really excellent team; but again, only under the stewardship of a really...
  • simonhch replied to the thread Who replaces Ten Hag?.
    I think we have to face the likely reality that any manager we get is probably here on a 2-4 year cycle, unless they absolutely kill it….which is fairly rare at any club. I think the continuity we used to look for in a manager, we now have to...
  • simonhch replied to the thread La Liga 2023/24.
    There is one angle almost completely with the posts aligned and in the tiny gap between Lunin and the line, you can see the yellow of the ball and it disappears behind the post, meaning the whole ball wasn’t over the line. Because of the lack of...
  • Yes, our fans are very passive. It’s a quality that we have a supportive fan base that isn’t completely knee jerk - at least in the stadium - but there’s also an acceptance of utter mediocrity that creates an environment that doesn’t demand...
