I thought they had turned a corner though and now had the right man in?

Mary Earps is probably the most high profile womens player at the club now she's won the golden gloves at the world cup.

After a couple of days I hope she speaks on behalf of her team in public about the club rapist in the men's side.

As much as I agree, I'm not even convinced Casemiro is 'good enough' for the levels they're trying to get to.

He lacks mobility and the ability to control the game, which is what most top class holding midfielders can do these days.

As for Rashford, he still plays like a school boy. Chasing everything that goes into channels, and hitting shots as hard as he can from 40 yards, it's almost embarrassing.

They got lucky last year as Chelsea and Liverpool were shite, same can't be said this year, and Newcastle will be much stronger as well.

I fucking abhor the Rags and anyone, absolutely anyone who plays for them, so my judgement is blinded. However...........I have absolutely never got the hype around Rashford. He runs fast and kicks the ball hard - that's about it. If he didn't do the feeding the starving thing I think the Rags would have moved him on, but because of his social media presence they won't budge him. As a jock it gladdens my heart that England still think he's world class.

Objectively these teams are all better than the scum as teams, players and style of football.

Us - obviously
Gooners
Dippers
Spuds
Toon
Chavski
Burnley
Brentford
Brighton
Villa

I may have missed some. The only way they finish above any of them is

A. Cheating like the Wolves game
B. See A.

I use to think Martial was the most miserable **** in their squad, but no, it turns out it’s Rashford

I think it's a draw personally - both equally up themselves and miserable.

And she’s spoken

He got his break due to injuries was it Van Gaal who was manager at the time,I’d go as far as saying if not for that opportunity he’d have been already moved on after a few sub appearances for the rags ..

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Doesn't over rated and playing for that lot come hand in hand

Pre-requisite .

 

[Vienna_70]

Exactly. He’s 21. Do an apprenticeship, get a degree, start a business.

He’s got millions in the bank, he isn’t owed a life of 200k/week playing premier league football.

Do you really think he has the intellect to earn a degree?

He'd end up with dungarees.

Anyone notice their manager is trying to dress like Pep now? Reminds me of when Phil Neville started wearing the waistcoat!

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

Poor Alice! She's "done" after 2 games and is almost in tears.....

[TinFoilHat]

They need a good news story.

They'll be sending St Marcus into Newall Green to give out Man U branded vapes to kids...

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

They could worse than employ him as their manager.

He couldn't spell degree

He's a good player who's hyped up to be world class. He's very good at a few things, which means that occasionally if he's in the right system, he can score a lot of goals. But put him in a different system, he becomes a 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 striker again (sorry, winger). Reminds me of someone like Pedro. Had a couple of seasons where he scored over 20, but generally spent his career getting low double figures.

And the reality is that there are plenty of leagues in the world who wouldn't give a shit, so he could probably earn that sort of money still playing as a footballer.

I always call the police when we lose. Quicker than having a silly rant.

Is that because you are So Lonely?
