He's that one kid that every school football team had that thought they were better than everyone else, and they were usually a full-kit-wanker Rag's or Dippers fan. The ones who were always greedy with the ball and moaning if nobody passed to them. Weirdly, the team always used to play better without them in it.

I hope he stays another 5 seasons.

Give it to Gordon.
 
I thought we might have a full expose of United’s defence today on Sly and how they’re there to be got at. Completely unfounded as it’s all about the greatest game in premier league history between two also rans from mid-table.
 
What i want to know is why harry maguire's greek retrial has not happened yet.

The last postponement we heard was in october, the fourth such postponement, and the reason given this time was "because court documents had not been translated into English"
I mean, i could do that on google in about 10 seconds.

He was found guilty of assaulting police officers and then attempting to bribe them in august 2020..

Just askin', like.

Man Utd angry as Morocco rejected Mazraoui request​

Manchester United are angry with the Moroccan Football Association for rejecting their plea for Noussair Mazraoui to play in Monday's 4-4 draw with Bournemouth - six days before the country's opener at the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).

United head coach Ruben Amorim said on Friday negotiations with the relevant national bodies were continuing over the release of Mazraoui, Cameroon's Bryan Mbeumo and Ivory Coast's Amad Diallo to Afcon.

Fifa announced on 3 December that clubs only need to release players from 15 December, instead of 14 days before the tournament that runs from from 21 December to 18 January.

While Mbeumo and Amad were allowed to stay for Monday's match, Morocco - who host the tournament and play Comoros on 21 December - took a different view.
United had anticipated all three players would be available, given the rest of the Premier League matches were played before the revised release date announced by Fifa - which it said could be negotiated with the relevant countries.

Mazraoui trained with United all week thinking he would be involved.

BBC Sport understands United escalated the matter to world football's governing body, who did not force Morocco to back down.

This has led to considerable frustration at Old Trafford, with insiders saying United believe they have been unfairly treated.

While they felt Cameroon and Ivory Coast were sympathetic and collaborative in their discussions, the club feel Morocco prioritised a national team training session over an important league game.

Italian side Roma and La Liga outfit Real Betis experienced similar frustration in their dealings with Morocco.

Fifa had urged federations and clubs to "hold bilateral discussions in good faith to find appropriate individual solutions".

It added: "In cases where there continues to be a dispute over the release of players subsequent to such bilateral discussions, Fifa will, in mediating between both parties, apply guidelines that take into account the circumstances of each case, including factors related to the timing of matches of affected competitions, the stage of these competitions, the historical and planned involvement of the players in the matches in question, as well as any other pertinent factors."

Mbeumo and Amad have now joined up with their national squads and will miss Sunday's Premier League trip to Aston Villa.

In Mazraoui's absence, and with Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt both ruled out through injury, Amorim included 19-year-old Ayden Heaven and 20-year-old centre-back Leny Yoro - who joined for £52.18m - in his defence against the Cherries as United missed the chance to climb into fifth spot in the table.

BBC Sport has contacted Morocco and Fifa for comment.

Slimy Stone using his deflection tactics that Mourinho would be proud of & implying thats why they conceded 4 v an out of form Bournemouth.
 
Just found out that for their FA cup game against Brighton, they're charging away fans £55 for a ticket. What an utter disgrace.

Guessing they still do a mandatory cup scheme too which means they'll be rinsing their home fans for that too. Probably take the money put on Christmas eve just for maximum piss boiling.

Bet that wanker of an owner at Shrewsbury wished they had got United away. Could have charged £80 a ticket

Not wanting to stick up for the rags but they do have a valid point. Their game was forced to a later date for TV which meant they were without a player for a further game. If that had happened to us there would be about 50 pages of claims sky colluded with the Moroccan FA intentionally moving the game to put us at a disadvantage.

Could see those Fernandes comments today from a mile off.

Said it last night, he shushed the crowd when he scored because they’d been getting on his back throughout the game.

He’s an emotional bloke and coupled with the fact they tried to push him out the door in the Summer to Saudi, I think it’ll end messily.

I hope so anyway. Because it’d be beautiful to watch the soap opera plus see them lose one of their only players who actually battles for the shirt.

Battles for the shirt when it suits
Remember the captain wanted off at Klanfield while his team were getting battered.
I hope he stays and remains club captain.
They will never be a good side with him captain. MIND THE GAP.

Haha, what’s his point about Yoro. That they’re “having to play him”? They paid £52M for him so they must’ve thought he was ready, surely? Although quite who thought that should be investigated. And that Heaven lad has been one of their better performers this season anyway.
 
Paladin said:
I agree with this. He has been loyal to them through all sorts of chaos and shenanigans. If that's true what they said to him last summer, it's pretty shameful.

Another who has given his all, never complained, is Maguire.

They were forced to field a 50+ million centre half Yoro. It's hardly like having to raid the under 16s to make up the numbers

Guy at work rolled that one out yesterday, saying the had to play kids at the back! £52 mil is not an amount you spend on centre backs if they are not ready for the first team
