And the rags and Littlewoods were the main offenders.

If the FA had held their nerve and maintained the law, excessive holding at corners would be a thing of the past now.

In fact we got a penalty away at stoke for the exact thing mentioned.
Shawcross holding Otamendi from a corner and the ref pointed straight at the spot. All pre VAR of course.

Yeah, I remember that.

I think Stoke were one of the worst for holding at corners.

as I sit here musing I am amazed ( but have enjoyed ) the rags demise. They have had world class managers and player - Schweinstieger was a world cup winner for fucks sake and they have been shit and thought they could fix it with nobodies as manager and by spunking £80m on either unproven youngsters or over the hill fading stars - never thought I would ever witness it

Still not signed Wesley Sneijder?

The rags might beat Grimsby should it go to penalties.

Only if the officials cheat.

Did you mention Thomas Bramall there?

He’s not the ref for their first game is he ?

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

No but I'm lumping on for a penalty for United when he is

Didn't they get one in the same game for Sterling holding?
Week after it was all stopped after chris smalling wrestling someone to the ground and the same ref didn't do anything.

Hooper with Tierney on VAR

Hooper with Tierney on VAR

No doubt, VAR will make a "mistake" in the rags' favour, and then, on Monday morning, cheating Arsenal will receive an apology from PGMOL.

I see the £115m fee for that Brighton player has scared them off.

I’ve just heard about the giant electronic advertising board close to Old Trafford counting down the days since the FFP hearing ended. They just can’t get us out of their heads, reminds me of the banner of our trophy drought.

It's a PaddyPower advert

Joking aside... ( wonder how many of their league games will go un televised this season.... at a push I'd say 2.

Benjamin Sesko signing could define Ruben Amorim’s Man Utd reign: Will he kick on or toil like others before him?

Benjamin Sesko is a big prospect but one with plenty to prove and his success could be crucial to Manchester United’s rebuild under Ruben Amorim. Watch Man Utd vs Arsenal live on Sky Sports Premier League this Sunday from 4pm; kick-off 4.30pm

The good news is their demise isn't over yet.

They've still got plenty of failures in them.
