Keown says 'City are anchored in the bottom half of the table' Talk about being negative.
 
Ole shifts the Balance

Guardiola languishes in the bottom half of the table,whilst Ole’s revival skills prepare Manchester United to retake the City bragging rights.


Liverpool beat Sheffield United in a rightfully emotional Anfield still in shock from losing their inspirational captain.
 
Marcus Rashford on BBC Breakfast for the SIXTH successive day this time as the lead item. 2000 doctors including eminent paediatricians are giving their professional opinion and concerns on child hunger. Even Conservative councils and MPs are saying the government decision is wrong. They are NOT following a footballer. They are doing their jobs.

The BBCs pictures include one of him on the pitch with a spray of sweat around him like a halo on the saintly figure they are painting him to be on and off the pitch.

And once they given the headlines and lots of red and white pics the programme gets down to the serious business of dealing with the matter.

No escaping him in on Radio 4 either
Insufficient vredit to the councils, supermarkets, restaurants etc for doing their bit in actually providing the food. Lots pulling together but a bit disappointed Liverpool is doing something and not Manchester.

While I understand the irritation of the media's love affair with Manchester United, not everything associated with them that appears on the BBC News should be seen as a bad thing or a slight on our club. I get that we are treated shabbily compared to some other clubs, but there are wider issues at stake here.

The BBC is run by privileged individuals who have come through the private education system & whose political editors are Tories. Our government is happy to live in a country with 4 million children living in poverty as long as its MPs & their friends & donors can continue to live a life of luxury.

It's precisely because Rashford plays for MU (& England) that his campaign is newsworthy & being reported on the BBC shows this government up for being the self-serving, uncaring bastards they are; something the BBC is reluctant to do.

Rashford has a platform. His status as a top profile footballer means he has admirers across the political spectrum. He's already shamed the government into paying for school meals once for those who are going hungry. He knows what it means because unlike most of us he went through it himself.

This is one occasion when being affiliated with MU & appearing on the BBC is actually a very good thing!

Yep, every shit scouse performance and defeat will no doubt get a Van Dijk mention somewhere in the story. Imagine if they had eight first team players missing, they'd try and get the league halted.

Yep, anyone who complains about Rashford doing this is a ****, pure and simple. Sorry but it's true and ironically, they're being as self centered and selfish as they claim he is.

Great to see Marcus distributing the contents of Luke Shaw's fridge and funding the cost of the transit vans

Manchester United should pay their fair share of taxes instead of offshoring. This would support his scheme. That’s not to say he is not a caring person and should not be admired.

As for the policy I would rather see a government spend on trying to get the reasons for poverty down. There’s loads of safeguarding triggers in schools for kids that are hungry and mistreated. Loads. The CPOMS system works well. Kids at my wife’s school get referred if their bag smells of cannabis. You might think that’s over the top but that’s a trigger. They get a visit. There’s lots of kids who got free school meals in summer whose parents did not come for them. They all got visits from social workers. So just paying for food is not going to work if parents don’t bother getting it.
 
It is now Day Eight, and Danny Moron in the Daily Excrement still thinks that Pickers shouldn't be playing today. No mention of the elbow into James' ribcage, though. But I suppose Danny would be of the same opinion re Virgil had The Most Famous Dutchman To Ever Grace The PL not, er, yer know, tripped over a blade of Toffee grass and slipped on, er, yer know, the Greatest Ass Ever to Bounce on the hallowed turf of Goodison.
 
Rashford's baseline cause is a worthy one, however, the media machine driving the campaign is definitely not motivated by altruism, nited are milking it big time as are the Boris bashers. The government have provided additional funds to local authorities for kids meals during hols etc. It's not a simple 'free meals' - 'no free meals' scenario, as anyone with half a brain can discern. That said, it's not the lad's fault.
 
We still press as hard but the other teams have become fitness junkies and can press more then us. Our Players looks gassed after 30Minutes because they are not used to this. 2017 Opponents got tired but nowadays they ignore it and still have energy left.

In Pep Book he specific says he plays possession to tire out the opponents but clubs evolved and can withstand it
