That was a tremendous shot with his weaker foot, nonetheless. I was like... "Wow, take a bow!". I am not his biggest fan, but sometimes you have to take a pause and appreciate the little things. Like these moments of brilliance that win us matches during this dismal season.

It does hurt a bit, but mostly because he's from Manchester and United were his boyhood club. But adding a player whose whole game revolves around getting on the ball to become the epicenter of everything to a side that already has the epitome of that player as its captain isn't really the...

It makes more sense if you recall that Mou's second season was the last time De Gea was absolutely world-class for us (then, he had that horrendous WC in Russia). Most models have us overachieving in xGA and xPTS by about 15 goals and 20 points. And a lot of that was down to De Gea's heroics. In...

13.58 pg. Finished the season with 13.4 pg. It dropped to 12.7 in 22/23. Now, we're the worst in the league with 17.9 shots pg. For comparison, Solskjaer's best was 10.3 pg in his first full season. So was Mourinho's with 9.5 shots pg in 2017/17, and LvG's with 10.1 in 2014-15. Moyes stands at...

As someone unfortunate enough to be too close to Greek football to avoid it, i chuckle a bit at the reactions to the NF statement. More so because Forest have every right to feel aggrieved. But this is nothing new for their current ownership. And should the British press decide to run a story on...

I believe it's more of a modern era issue that creates this debate. The creation of mega-clubs in this age of overinflation and oil-state/oligarch ownership. Sadly, a few years down the line, what Ferguson achieved with Aberdeen will be a distant memory. And by the end if his career, Pep will be...

Definitely! It's her debut film and my reaction then was similar to yours now.

Moyes to lead us with his experience to a Conference League victory next season!

He's very prolific and seems to jump from one project to the other in no time. Perhaps, he just wants to work with people who know him and what he expects on his sets to get things done without much fuss. And one of his post-2000 films that didn't feature either Leo or De Niro is, IMHO, his...

Not seen Saint Maud?

Fair enough. I still maintain that it shouldn't have come to that. United and Newcastle failing hard isn't the same as Union and Eintracht flopping in terms of expectations. BvB got the luck of the draw, and it helped Germany, but still.

Very few people were expecting Union Berlin to be in Europe after December, and Eintracht Frankfurt won more points for Germany than Newcastle and United combined. There's a difference in expectations, which was reflected both in the early projections and in some posts on here claiming that it...

England's coefficient this season was basically butchered by United and Newcastle, who finished bottom of their groups. It was always an uphill battle from there, no matter what Opta's projections were saying. A couple of rounds in Europa League for either us or the Geordies would have helped a...

The kind that demands of his players high levels of concentration and elite decision-making to work well. There are no magical solutions here, and his midfield - on the ball - is much better than a lot of people give them credit for. In Pedri and De Jong, they have two options who can either...

Nah, if we're being honest, a lot of people on here and in the media were giving him stick for trying to change Rashford's position. To the point where Rashford himself gave an interview stating that he doesn't have an issue with it and sees it as a crucial part in his development as a player...
