The way I have been trying to explain is - there were two stupid individual moments but outside of those moments, we didn't actually lose control. Despite two individual losses of heads, the team kept theirs. That's why we didn't ultimately bottle it, because the underlying problem wasn't a weak...

It's natural to prefer anyone else winning over your main rival, and I think for a lot of us that's too much to overcome. It's when people favour City over secondary rivalries, 'competitive only' rivalries like Liverpool-Arsenal or just because ''their fans are annoying'' that I object. They...

I've always been of the same long-term opinion, the only exception is I'll admit I did enjoy City's first title in the moment, just because of the way it went down. Back then there was still some plausible hope that they wouldn't become dominant or even that the project wouldn't last, so the...

I don't understand this logic tbh. A financial doping (and literal cheating) oil state club taking the league title six out of the last seven seasons and rendering actual clubs' best efforts and sound investments fruitless and pointless, surely just ruins the league? That's definitely something...

Yeah, I could take losing to Villa in some circumstances, they're the fourth best team in the league after all. What's difficult to take is that second half performance.

David Bentley has never played for either Bolton or Everton.

I had to double-check check this one was actually true. This would-be football Mandela Effect is probably caused by Danny Mills having the same initials and also being bald.

And another one for 22/23

I reckon all both Spanish coaches just said 'hijo de puta' Somebody could spin it as ''he called my mother a bitch/whore'' if they wanted to be a bad faith drama queen, but it's really more a generic insult. But no idea about Tuchel as he doesn't really fit with the theory...

There's some standard issue nostalgia, but yeah granted there aren't many who actually wish we were still back there as their considered opinion - but I think that's because of the obvious un-viability of our listed stadium with its 38,000 capacity. On the other hand OT has 76,000 right now and...

Old Trafford being demolished would be a sad day for English football tbh. I think if this was proposed in 2012 United fans would be up in arms. But what's actually changed beyond superficial stuff like a worse-leaking roof? A poor period (relative to history) shouldn't cause fans to put a...

I'm not sure about that, it feels ordained that you'll win it this year tbh (this is just a comment on fate/narrative not referees etc)

I'm a simple man who can't be arsed with any permutation more complex than ''draw = no team takes three points''

We weren't scintillating but neither are City or Liverpool in 100% of their games. I'm not seeing a ton of red flags or anything, so I'll take the points and move on.

He's not a top 4 level keeper but he's only playing because Raya is ineligible and there's a very real chance that's his last competitive game for us
