  1. Homegrown all-time xi club sides.

    Not too sure about a first XI but the Southampton one could be interesting. Bale, Shaw, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Walcott, Le Tissier, Shearer, Lallana, Bridge. A more knowledgeable poster might be able to fill in the gaps at the back! Callum Chambers at a stretch maybe?
  2. Weird feelings of football

    Any player who scores during a match that goes to penalties, misses their penalty in the shootout.
  3. Financial Times: La Liga in talks to hold league matches overseas

    Maybe the League Cup could be revived if some of the latter rounds were played abroad? Foreign fans get to see competitive football and there would be no unfair advantages due to teams having extra home/away games. Assuming there's more interest in the games there would be potentially a higher...
  4. The 'why aren't we in for that player?' thread

    Came here to say this. Fair enough, the Scottish league isn't that strong but Dembélé is young and has stood out as much as van Dijk and Wanyama did in their time up there.
  5. Released PL players

    Surely 'arry Redknapp will snap up a few of those for Birmingham
  6. World Cup 2018 Qualifiers (and friendlies) June

    The same Hungary who drew 3-3 with Portugal at the Euros.. Andorra unofficial champions of Europe 2017 :D
  7. Released PL players

    ---------------Caballero Zabaletta--Terry-- Lescott-- Clichy -----Fletcher--O'Shea--Flamini Navas-------------------------- Pienaar -----------------Ibra Would've had the makings of a decent team there a few years ago with that (apart from midfield :nervous:)
  8. World Cup 2018 Qualifiers (and friendlies) June

    After losing 86 consecutive games previously, Andorra have now won two (Hungary and San Marino) and drawn one (Faroe Islands) in 2017.
  9. The importance of trophies

    It was actually Arsenal who finished 2nd after Leicester which only illustrates your point more. I don't understand people running us down for winning the Europa League. For a club like us that's been pretty mediocre the last 4 years, it was arguably more important to actually win a European...
  10. How To Rescue Man Utd From Disaster | The Man Utd World Orchestra XI

    Maybe sign LeBron James and Tom Brady to increase our popularity in the U.S. as well?
  11. Pot 2

    No real disadvantage to being in pot 2 as opposed to pot 1 by the looks of things (apart from not being reigning league winner). Not being in any European competition in 14/15 really hurts our coefficient.
  12. Your Lineup Prediction first PL game 17/18

    Romero Valencia Bailly Lindelof Darmian Pogba Herrrera Mata Mkhitarian Rashford Griezmann
  13. Ander Herrera should be the next Manchester United captain

    An interesting point was made on the ITV highlights about on-the-field leadership. If anyone can find the clip, its worth a look imo. For the corner that lead to the 2nd goal, Mkhitaryan initially begins to walk back towards the half way line. Herrera calls him over and seems to instruct him to...
