We muddied my argument for the Premier League a lot though earlier in the season I will admit. This United team was one of the worst English sides ever to get to the champions league. We were an utter disgrace in Europe. Real put us to shame the past decade as a traditional “big club” that’s...

Yeah I agree with all that. City are a far more well rounded and overall a stronger side as it stands than Real but on a one off game the Spanish side can perhaps prepare more for said physicality to make up the difference a little. I do think City are adapting to the schedule now with Pep...

Exactly burned out because they played better football most weeks at a higher intensity. Don’t see Madrid burning out… I wonder why? City were just ridiculous in 2023 so no Madrid weren’t beating them. Injuries this season evened the odds although again it was a lucky win but it’s football and...

Easy to manage minutes when you aren’t fighting for 3 points each week and players getting injuries left right and centre. I wonder even if City could win La Liga league without Haaland and De Bruyne? I reckon they would comfortably.

I watch La Liga it’s factual. Getafe - Barcelona the other day was more like a premier league game it was great but on the whole yes Spain is poor right now. Imagine City playing in La Liga? It would be an absolute stroll for them right now to pick up that title each season.

A lot of this is the intensity of the premier league. City are a better side than them by some distance but at the end of the season it’s pretty gruelling in England. Allows Modric for example to have a great year and stay fresh for the end. If he played for United he would get slaughtered in...

You are probably nail on the head with this. Plus their eternal rivalry with Barcelona. Both clubs will put themselves in the mud financially if it means getting one over on the other for a few years.

I don’t even understand why Madrid would bother when they are already successful. It’s a bit like in 2000 would United need Zidane? He’d have been awesome… but end of the day we already had a strong squad. Keane, Scholes, Beckham and Giggs just worked well. Madrid might have a master plan for...

The pressure people are putting on a kid is unreal. He’s played about 6 months worth of football and yes he lacks upper body strength… I’m still unsure whether he’s found his actual position yet he’s that young. Could become a more attacking player or a deep lying playmaker. Who knows.

They’ve literally just walked in the door after the Glazer’s have torched the building. :lol: How can they even affect anything yet on the field? They are currently planning for the summer and trying to get backroom staff through the door.

This is the one thing United still have that is best in class. The fanbase. People talk about Real Madrid fans as great for the opposite reasons but the facts are in Italy and Spain ultras would have turned up at the training ground by now and forced their way in to see the players / manager in...

It’s like the Glazer’s malls. All ran down to the ground. Profit first everything else afterwards, hence why they have failing businesses including our club. I think the only success they’ve had recently was the Bucks due to them actually giving a damn.

Jim is so right by the way. We all blame the footballers, manager and ownership but end of the day it’s obvious standards have fallen across the board at the club. The staff who are genuinely good will be kept and others replaced in time. It needs doing, we can cry about livelihoods all we...

I agree with this even if the athletic DM becomes a rotation option when we need them instead of every game. I do feel with a bit of pace and power in the CB’s and the midfield we could become a transformed side. We score goals quite well on average recently but obviously the right wing needs...

Kane literally has better stats than Lewa in his first season playing in a much weaker Bayern side… Kane has been better than Mbappe last few years apart from the World Cup so I don’t really get the Mbappe is easily the best on the planet argument. De Bruyne is also just a better footballer...
