Schweinsteiger was quality and seemed like a decent person as well, I'm delighted he managed to scam the rags out of a pension top up once his legs had gone.

I can’t believe I forgot Weghorst

I feel (sort of) sorry for him, obviously well, well out of his depth, but in his shoes, how could he turn down the money?

Carthorse is one of those sign your mate on a big contract signings.

If they offered me money to play I wouldn’t refuse it. I’m 70 next and got rheumatoid arthritis wouldn’t play when City are playing and would play well below my best. ‍

I see Luke Shaw has said "I've grown immensely since coming to Manchester"
You should have laid off the pies Luke.

100% where is this Ajax possession football that he was supposed to bring? Pep came didn’t have the players but still stuck to his principles trying to install his beliefs into the players we had?! Seem Ten Bob the fraud shit the bed and went for parks bus after to losses in his first two games it worked so he shat his beliefs philosophy out his arse!

Ole mark 2 at the wheel

Absolutely. If you dump your principles after 2 games what chance do you have of success in the long run? He'll be gone the season after next. Oh, and he's a dislikeable **** so fits the club like a glove.

Wayne's World.

Think you should leave the biddy fiddler out of this

 

[Grassland Blue]

Great post. They have hardly played well in any matches this season yet Tent Peg gets a free ride in the media. They have won nine league matches by a single goal and not scored more than three in any game. I know they say "the table never lies" but I believe they are in a false position. They have too many players who are technically weak. Some of them are nowhere near Premier League level, Weghorst for example. The media narrative has been absurd all season.

Do not forget the points they got by cheating against us at the swamp.
SCUM

The latest is they are all coming out with after Newcastle, is we’re a different team with Casemiro in it…

I replied I agree, class player (always throw them a bone to get them listening), there is no way you concede 7 goals to Liverpool if he’s playing…

The more knowledgeable ones, acknowledge he is at this point, whereas you more typical one agree.

At that point, actually it was the game after he was sent off, so he played at Anfield. Sorry (not sorry) to say but seems your equally shit with him or without him.

 

[Silva2021]

On Shaw I don’t blame them as he’s coming into what is normally the peak ages.

Lack of decent LB’s out there as well.

If I was them I would be concentrating spending money elsewhere.

Minsterly Parade?

Can't say where as it'd blow my cover. I've said too much already.

They really are the gift that keeps on giving and long may it continue.
Their plastic fans get giddy and dig themselves into a hole time after time and it's hilarious.
St Beneathus Day is almost upon us once again.

That will be 10 years running. Is that a record?

I can - a total non entity

 

[Blueboy73]

Definitely a post war record.
Not sure about pre-war as the Rags were dog shit then, a point I never tire of telling clueless Rags who claim they've "always" been the biggest, bestest club in the universe.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

They've been insanely reliant on a suddenly in-form Rashford (and we all know how long his 'form' usually lasts) and Casemiro dragging them through games. And you see what happens when the former stops firing and the latter is suspended; they go back to the same old dreary, forgettable, mid-table football we've seen from them over the last decade.

Does this make Casemiro their Joey Barton?

 

[halfcenturyup]

Sang with a lisp ;)

And on a Shoestring.

 

[horlock_was_super]

I’m sorry really sorry and hang my head in shame. I’ve been busy sunbathing and drinking large amounts of Estrella and rather enjoying life too much and have neglected my duties to this thread so I would just like to say they are
FECKING PUTRID SCUM.

Good save - Ederson like in fact

Yes, but then he complained bitterly about all these pie cracks, said he was very pleased with his new contract and said it was really "the icing on the cake"!

Didn't they lose a game where they scored 3?

Discounted as the opposition stopped playing when they reached 6.
