  1. Things about football that get you unreasonably annoyed…

    The thing is about that is that they all know how much everyone cheats. Because everyone does it. Just play on and magically the prone player will somehow (laws of medicine begone) will get up , limp a little for a few paces and then (if the ball is within 10 yards) effortlessly move into a...
  2. VAR and Refs | General Discussion

    What exactly did he see? I think me might be blind if he thinks the defender touched the ball first. Must be the only guy on the planet who would get that utterly incorrect. Training isn’t going to help him if he’s fecked that one up, he needs eye surgery
  3. 'I wish United had signed them' XI

    Shearer is the massive “miss” for me. When he left Southampton I mean. Once Newcastle were keen when he left Blackburn he was only going there but we missed a trick before that. Gazza is the other one. I think fergie could have tamed him and got the best out of him. Haven’t picked anyone post...
  4. Elon Musk | Owner of X

    I visited a friend last weekend who had just bought a Tesla and I can confirm this is true, his 9 year old thought it was the funniest thing ever. The thing makes a fart sound when the doors are opened and on request. I’m not sure how I feel about this!
  5. Summer clear out?

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ce96wzkgzpgo As reported by bbc. If true I’m pretty happy with this. Ineos not messing around it seems…….
  6. Mo Salah

    I’d cash in if I was Liverpool. The only question mark is whether the new boss will spend it wisely or not.
  7. Marcus Rashford | 2023/24 Performances

    I see what I see when he plays. When he lets opposition players waltz round him whilst he jogs. When he doesn't track back. When he loses the ball, sits on the ground and waves his arms in the air instead of getting up and trying to win it back. When he refuses to make any runs in behind and...
  8. Marcus Rashford | 2023/24 Performances

    His performances this year have been genuinely disgraceful though. A consistent lack of effort and cowardice from physical challenges that would not be tolerated in a Sunday league game. If he doesn't want to be called a disgrace to the shirt then don't "perform" disgracefully.
  9. Marcus Rashford (Out) | Ornstein: United want to keep, will only consider substantial bids

    If he doesn't like random grannies abusing him perhaps he should try harder. You know, actually earn that £350k a week. At least some of that money will have come directly from the fans, we are paying his wages and he's showing up like that? Fans will forgive poor form and mistakes made on the...
  10. Klopp to leave Liverpool at the end of the season

    Does anyone know what they were actually laughing at? Must have been funny!
  11. VAR and Refs | General Discussion

    Equally as bad. Every single penalty shout is reviewed no? Why not this one?
  12. VAR and Refs | General Discussion

    Getting it wrong is one thing and to a certain extent is part of the game, but deleting a recording you perhaps don’t want anyone to hear is another. The Liverpool one for instance was completely wrong but was “just” a miscommunication. The bullshit decisions Utd have had against us this year...
  13. VAR and Refs | General Discussion

    I don’t think you can legally complain about a subjective decision but if the recording of the 3rd one against Everton was deleted for example then you’d have a case. Maybe.
  14. VAR and Refs | General Discussion

    If Forest get relegated by a point or two I can genuinely see this becoming a legal matter. There are hundreds of millions of pounds at stake and the people making the decisions are running it like its an under 9s 5 a side festival. They have 2 recordings but no recording of the 3rd (and most...
  15. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    1 win (Everton) 3 draws (Liverpool, Brentford, Bournemouth) 2 losses (Chelsea, City) I agree its probably not the best statistic to track, but does show you what company we are keeping at the moment.
