We had a manager who gave the media quotes and stories in Mancini, didn't exactly see us with a load of positive press did it? I'm more than happy with Pellegrini's "give them fuck all" approach. The media hate it, which is good enough reason to do it if you ask me. I'd rather have an unco-operative manager than one who looks a dick.
I was joking, tbh I actually like Pellegrini. Get what you are saying but it's not just about playing a straight bat with the press he just sort of mumbles whenever he's asked a question and it is kind if boring you have to admit. Anyway this fascination with what manager's say or how they look or dress is OTT. It's all about what happens on the pitch.
 
Didn't a certain P. J. Swales hesitate over whether to release the money to retain Bryan Briggs?

IIRC, we'd already exhausted our youth budget for that year and Swales wasn't prepared to put in the extra to retain the future sister-in-law shagger.
I can easily believe that to be the reason - we seem to have had a short period where we could have signed him up before the rags pitched up on the Wilsons' doorstep with the brown envelope.

I think you're on stronger ground with the manager to be fair!
 
Seems Shrek is out of dippers game
They've sent Wilson out on loan as well which leaves them with 'whatsisname' and Fellaini as their options.
Honestly, I don't know how much more I can take of laughing at the ineptness of that club. How can they make so many cock ups in such a short space of time?
 
From the mail .... Exposing LVG's philosophy


"United’s players practised lumping long balls up to Fellaini for Herrera, plus wide men Memphis Depay and Juan Mata to feed off the knock downs on Friday."

F'in hilarious ....

You could not accuse Pellegrini of being pompous, however if ever a term suited a manager.....

I'm not sure Wilson has actually gone anywhere yet as the loans window to the championship is still open so he may find himself leading the line tomorrow unless they give a debut to another academy product Tony Marshall.

Either one of those will do for me.
 
So if Rooney is injured they have 2 19 year olds (1 potentially out on loan imminently) & Fellaini as striker options. It's pretty brutal that.

To be honest though I see Fellaini causing teams far more problems than Rooney at the moment, he won't make any good runs, but (whilst he's a massive cnut) you have to give it him he does damage when in the box most of the time.

It's going to be a horrible match to watch with Liverpool lumping it to Benteke now they are missing their one creative player and United lumping it to Fellaini..

And most of the damage will be to the cheek bones of opposition defenders!

People are obsessed with pretty football. Long passes, not to be confused with long hopeful clearences to Fellani was unplayable at times last season. You play to your strengths and Fellani is good in the air. Even we struggled against it last season.

People enjoy 'pretty' football because it's how the game should be played.
The long ball, playing to your strengths, is a tactic that you see in the lower divisions by teams who can't afford the top quality you see in the Premier League.
The fact that Utd have to resort to it after spunking nearly 300 million in a couple of years is just one more reason to laugh at them.

Aha likely true, he seems even more violent in the big matches, & being from Everton I wouldn't be surprised to see him elbowing the crap out of anyone who gets near him. Would love him to be sent off.
