What does this mean? The truth is that players over 27 are actually one year older than they actually are?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
That Obafemi Martins ages like normal people.
That United let Pogba go to Juventus on a free, or for a nominal fee
Obviously we all know we repeatedly tried to renew his contract but he ended up leaving on a Bosman (we got some nominal compensation owing to his age) citing lack of opportunities

Well in fairness - he doesn't. But that is simply because most top strikers don't score against big team. Which makes sense as these games usually don't end up 5-0 or 4-4.
As I showed in another post - even Shearers record against other top teams was mediocre at best
If you play with say Martial / Mkhitaryan on the wings - Rashford and Lukaku up front, and Pogba in a 2 man midfield - that wouldn't work.
It all depends on what kind of football you play. Pogba is a lot better going forward than defending. And if you play a team where the wingers are defensively poor (like Martial and Mkhitaryan are), using Pogba in a 2 man midfield would not be good.
This 100%
Premier League is the best league in the world.
The whole 'adapting to the premier league ' nonsense. I think it's more a case of adapting to your new team's style.
Ronaldo vs Messi is a matter of preference. No it isn't Messi, objectively Messi is a superior footballer.

Real Madrid are a 'circus ' . No they are not, they just have extremely high standards. They have their share of controversy, as every club does, but they are the biggest. They have also been very well ran in recent years.

Matic was Chelsea's worst player last season, a worthless passenger and is past it

Players over the age of 27 are described as 28 in January or 29 next season.
Ander Herrera, average holding midfielder. We need to buy someone better.
Kante is the greatest midfielder. dying myth?

Fellaini is a pub player
Liverpool is still relevant.
Barcelona plays against 3 teams all season, Ossasuna ( every single match ends 8-0), real madrid and atletico.
Serie A is defensive and boring.

Journalists have a clue what they are talking about
Eviant and Llorient are the same team
Lingard is a professional football player

I believe it references an Arsenal fan last year trying to claim that because a player was past his 27th birthday old he was actually 28 because he was closer to 28 than 27.
Yorke and Cole had a "telepathic" understanding - I can only remember it happening once when Yorke dummied it for Cole in the semi against Juventus..
Watch Coles goal vs Barcelona in the Nou Camp in the group stage.
Mourinho only signs/plays old players.
It rains in Stoke every tuesday night.
Yeah, I'm 61 mate..
Yes, sorry I wrote it without context, as you know last year only Vardy and a few midfielders scored more against the top teams.
PL proven.
Wales and England are part of the same commonwealth, not the same country. Just like Germany and Poland are part of the same Union and Continent rather than being one country.
It wasn't his mum.
That's not a myth. England is a great footballing nation. Yes, the national team was never really all that but that's not the only aspect of being a great footballing nation.
PSG has discovered success thanks to Qatar
Possibly the most annoying one, along with the 'shirt sales can recover the cost of a galactico signing'.
It helped a lot though.
PSG didn't need Qatar to win the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1996
No, it was Canal+ bankrolling them then.PSG didn't need Qatar to win the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1996
What about the time between that and the 2010s then?PSG didn't need Qatar to win the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1996
You are right.
Glazers, Berlusconi (Milan AC), Morratti (Inter), the Spanish King (Real Madrid)... are/were poor investors or capital providers with modest means
If you read my initial post, I've used the term "discover"
discover
(dɪˈskʌvə)
vb (tr; may take a clause as object)
1. to be the first to find or find out about: Fleming discovered penicillin.
2. to learn about or encounter for the first time; realize: she discovered the pleasures of wine.
3. to find after study or search: I discovered a leak in the tank.
4. to reveal or make known
Messi. Cold Night. Stoke.
We will never know.

Klopp is a passionate hipster and not at a cnut.
- Alex Ferguson was poor tactically.
- 2008/09 was peak Vidic/Rio with that clean sheet run even though Johnny Evans played most of those games.
- Daley Blind struggles against strong/fast opponents. He does seem to have a mistake in him, but his struggles seem to have little to do withe the player he's up against and more his own form.
- LvG abandoned the 4-4-2 diamond formation after the Leicester defeat. He played the same formation in the 2-1 win over West Ham (Paddy Mcnair's debut) as well as the 2-1 win over Everton (de Gea freakish saves). He abandoned it because of our inability to control games with it.
Plus, the whole 'adapting to the premier league' nonsense. I think it's more a case of adapting to your new teams's style
Sorry, but what's this NYSE thing about?
