  1. Post match vs Everton

    I don’t understand why Cavani was taken off,he works so hard in all parts of the pitch. Ronaldo is never going run around and chase back. Everton played the game the way they wanted, 28% possesion, 1 corner, two shots on target, and to honest they would have been delighted with a point at start...
  2. Post match vs Young Boys

    At least we can concentrate on the League, FACup League Cup. absolutely awful performance, last season against the Turks all over again. we are a million miles behind City, Chelsea and Liverpool. Be lucky to finish 4th in PL.
  3. The Make A Fecking Sub Ole Thread

    Two points dropped against a team that will finish 15th at best.
  4. Manchester United v Brentford | Pre-season Friendly Wednesday July 28 20:00 BST

    How does Andreas Pereira keep getting a game? I see nothing in him at all.
  5. Unbeaten Away From Home All Season

    Don’t forget the seven games away at the end of last season, so 26 unbeaten PL away, which is superb. I know that for most of those games there have been no fans present, but it’s been the same for all teams. I feel mixed emotions as to the season we have had, yes second is good and in ELfinal...
  6. We threw the game

    Just handed Liverpool CL place , no way they will not get 9 points from last three games. WBA, Burnley, Palace teams that have nothing to play for against a team that knows they have to win, like they did tonight. Why oh why do we keep trying to play out from the back, we are useless at it, the...
  7. Stuff in football that really annoys you?

    the same could be said about Kante, also I remember when Matic was at Chelsea, he was always stopping play with niggling fouls,yet very rarely got booked. One that is a bit of a mystery, despite Xhaka,s record of yellow/red cards he still gets away with far more fouls before he is bought to...
  8. Stuff in football that really annoys you?

    Goalkeepers holding the ball for longer than the permitted 6 seconds, it happens a lot yet not one free kick or booking.
  9. PR gimmick after the ESL failure

    I notice that Chelsea and City fans are not demanding the owners should leave their clubs, mmm surprising that, considering that the greed their owners generate is fine and have bought success for them both. The greed will still be around, players will demand more, TV will demand more, fans will...
  10. Post match vs Brighton & Hove Albion

    i would argue that top 4 is not yet secure, yes, a lot of teams play each that are vying for top 4, but I believe we still need at least 4 wins, possibly 5. We have 4 home games, two of which are Fulham and Burnley, we know how,those are likely to pan out, plus Liverpool and Leicester, both good...
  11. Is Ole’s football really any better than José & LVG’s?

    This was the worst performance I have seen in all the 65 years I’ve been a fan. No ideas no fight, no creativity outfought by Palace, tactically out thought. Team couldn't even pass the ball from one white shirt to another. I love Ole but I’m afraid he is not a good coach. Look at Chelsea...
  12. Post match vs West Bromwich Albion

    When you watch City or Liverpool play, when they have the ball there are always players moving all around the pitch, whenUnited get it they just stand around. I am sorry it’s all down to coaching.
  13. Most Memorable Meeting with an Ex-Player?

    When I was lad Bobby Charlton was my hero. I always dreamed of meeting him someday, but of course I lived many miles from Manchester, so is was unlikely that I would bump into him. However years later the company I worked for had a promotional event and the person who was coming to to do this...
  14. Roy loves Denis

    Denis was one of those players every team needs, steady player , never caused any problems, just got on with his job, didn’t seek fame or attention. I will never forget that incident with Ellery at Liverpool, Denis was running down the touchline to try and keep ball in play and as he went to...
  15. PSG and Leipzig - We’ll never get out of the group!

    In the past we have been in so called easy groups, got enough points to qualify with a couple of games to spare, and then went and played second string players in final two games and then finished second in group, subsequently have a tougher game in the first knockout games.
