well Rashford did have a decent chance second half but I agree with you, we outplayed Villa second half and in part inspired by Nico O'Reilly down the left.
I was going to the game until I had to cancel yesterday morning so had to suffer the Sky commentary and what a load of biased old shite that was.
Rashford hitting the post must have been mentioned at least 6 times in the first half.
The commentary was almost exclusively from a Villa perspective what with the commentator spouting out an endless stream of Villa related statistics ad nausuem ("and this is the 17th time Villa have had 5 or more throw ins during the first half of matches, quite remarkable isn't it Gary?" "Well Rob. the way that Rashford moved his body to hit the post in the first minute was a thing of beauty").
Ad of course, Manchester United had to be shoe horned in
It was utter shite and I won't make the mistake of watching with the sound on again.

Nauseating to say the least and you just know neville would've loved to have given Rashford motm , think sky were that gutted they couldnt stomach giving one of our players it (has that happened before ? no barclays motm ??), if thatd been anyone else hitting the post it wouldve been "should've done better/great chance missed".......pre match they had to go back to 2007 showing highlights of the last time villa beat us in the league away....sad sly cunts

They also shown every single city victory since then, or did you miss that bit?
 
How can the like of Neville, Rooney, Deeney, Shearer who have all failed spectacularly at management and the like of Richards, Carragher, O'Hara, Sutton, Hinchcliffe and Alan Smith who have never managed have the gall to sit on their pampered arses and suggest what Pep (and to be fair other top manager) should do is beyond me. Why can't they actually analyse a game and talk about tweaks managers have made mid game to try and gain the initiative. Or why haven't they looked at what Nuno has done at Forest compared to last season to have them in the top four most of the season or why have certain players flourished at clubs on loan when they have been a sack of shite all season elsewhere. I don't want them to tell me if the shot had been on target and the keeper wouldn't have saved it then a goal would have been scored.
 
I don't believe this to be a fake as I was also sent the link and maybe I am looking in the wrong thread but;

No mention of this anyone!?!*

Said this before, but it obviously needs repeating. Despite stiff competition, I think Jamie Jackson is probably the worst of the lot in modern football journalism, at least among those who are or have been employed by national newspapers.

Not only does he have nothing of any worth to say, but his prose style is embarrassingly deficient for someone who makes a living writing for a supposed quality newspaper. I'm aware of the Guardian's lineage of truly great sportswriters going back to the days of Cardus, C.L.R. James, Donny Davies and others. I remember myself reading the likes of David Lacey, Frank Keating, John Arlott and Richard Williams in the paper. The fact they now employ this shit-eating gimp shows just how far the once-august sports pages of the publication have fallen.

Remember that this is a man who was accorded the privilege of covering Pep Guardiola at close quarters over several years yet chose to publish a book about the managerial genius of Ole Gunnar Solksjaer. That really tells you all you need to know about him and his work; in other words, he's a pathetic rag fanboy who shouldn't be taken seriously. By extension, nor should his paper's coverage of Manchester football when it accords him the role of correspondent for that topic.

And did anyone else come across any of the novel he published under the name Jamie Paradise? I saw a couple of extracts and it was so bad that I genuinely wondered whether it was some kind of elaborate joke. It was a garbled, try-hard mess from a lame-brained clown who mistakes rambling incoherence for literary style. Read it only if you want to know how a gonzo-style novel might read if authored by someone who seems to be suffering from brain-damage.

Blueknows said:

Stone really is a total grifter, he must get paid by how many times he can shoehorn that red shower of shite into a story.Rashford has scored 4 goals incl 2 pens, keep polishing away Stone but at the end of the day it'll always remain a turd. 1000024398.jpg

Or even "Pies From The Ashes" as a nod to those that believe in reincarnation.

There's an old saying "you can't polish a turd". I disagree but often all you get is a shiny turd.. Mr rashford appears quite shiny
