With all the cost cutting going on Ratcliffe must be relieved Rashford isn't wearing out any of his boots

Fucking hell, you’d think they were signing Maradona

Can that post be moved into the language of management BS thread as a prime example of the type?

The waistcoat hated us then. I hope he gets the rags job.

Camelgob was as big a twat then as he is now.

What a fucking wanker!

That was all down to Anderson losing his shit when Mario flapped his shirt at the rapidly emptying rag end of the stadium, I had a great view of it all from my seat. I hadn't seen the ITV footage before, what a pair of biased twats the interviewer and waistcoat were. Strachan called it right, "you wind people up and if they can't take it, fine" and Anderson and Ferdinand couldn't take it.

For every mad Mario moment that followed he had more than enough credit in the bank just with that wink alone for me and then topped it up with the ‘Why always me?’

It looks like the rags have the Corporate Restructuring Cup all sewn up this year. #Winning

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Just a quick correction, it's not swoop it's swap. Bellingham for Mainoo.


You saw it here first.

Edited :)

what stands out to me is the pictures are of Mario walking away and Ferdinand and the united players losing their shit but the commentary is all about how its Marios fault.

Ferdinand was always winding up other opposition supporters during winning goal celebrations, but when one of our players does the same he didn't like it.

One rule for them, another for everyone else it seems.....

They should have been in awe of SWP holding the fucker back & giving him xx stone & height.

Wio was just posturing and would have legged it if Balo came for him.

"THEY DONT LIKE LOSING"
They are used to it now though;-)

Always have to get some sort of a dig in at the end

That's rio for ya...

I know a few people in boxing because I was a decent junior before I had to pack it in but I still know plenty around the game in London, some were in the gym with him in Bermondsey and they said that time Rio wanted to become a boxer, he was willing while he was hitting the bag. As soon as he actually sparred, he shit himself and the boxing journey come to an abrupt end.

Thats literally why it was a big story that he was boxing and then he suddenly knocked it on the head out of nowhere. He simply shit his pants when he had to do a sparring session and you get hit back.

Absolutely. I boxed from the age of 6, I could say I've probably seen hundreds of lads and blokes that fancied themselves a bit and come to the gym until it was time to spar and take some punches and never turned up the week after, like Ferdinand.

I don't mind that, it's simply not for everyone, its barely for anyone, so I don't mind people giving it a go and releasing getting hit is not enjoyable.

The thing with Camel Gob though is that he was making a big song and dance about it, getting reporters down etc. before he had even sparred a round. Completely underestimated the sport.

as you said it looks fun on tv and in the rocky movies but getting hit in the face is not fun and never will be lol, some people think hitting the pads are enough but its never the same until someone hits you back.

yeah well Iron Mike was just ripping of an old Prussian General...(don't tell him..)

Helmuth von Moltke was a Field Marshall and brilliant war strategist in the 19th Century. He first coined the term "no plan survives contact with the enemy"
