Did you have to remind me of Shrewsbury in the snow and Halifax in the mud-and that included the crowd

Character forming bud.

Makes it all the the more enjoyable now.

Have a scroll through Bluemoon. They're not the only ones to think they've signed a player based on YT highlights!! Their problem is every players they sign is the next [insert decent player name]. They never learn.

Hahaha yeah suppose, the whole youtube thing always mystified me anyway, it can literally make any player look world class through compilations.

But yeah, their comparing to their so-called legends is really their major problem. They also have a major, major issue with vastly overrating the shite that comes out of their academy or young players they sign, generally before they have proven a thing in senior football. I think it's because they see themselves as this club which always gives youth a chance. The most recent example is this Ethan Laird kid, who will probably be at Sunderland in a few years. Or the absolutely talentless Brandon Williams. But recent examples include Bothwick Jackson, Tunnicliffe, Fosu Mensah, Januzaj, Macheda, Bellion, Bebe, Obertan, Welbeck, Ravel Morrison, Lingard, Jones who they signed and Ferguson said could be their best player ever and the new Duncan Edwards according to Charlton, Cleverley, Anderson, Varela and numerous others. Fuck sake, it was obvious to anyone with a clue that welbeck was Bambi on Ice who couldn't finish his dinner, yet those utterly clueless cunts maintained for years that he was gonna be a top player and better than Sturridge. Then Arsenal fans acting like they had signed some superstar when they bought him. It's like the world had collectively gone mad.

Imagine listing a City away draw, in the season we actually won the cup, as one of the “most embarrassing FA Cup scrapes”.

Havent read the article so dont know how well researched it was.
Not sure why we are the headline when I can remember both Coventry and Birmingham as top division teams exiting to non league teams.
In 2005 a certain team scraped a draw at home to non league Exeter before losing at home to League 1 Leeds in 2010. Surely they would be more accuately described as upsets.

Soccer AM doing a best skill before goals and weeks biggest dive.

Showed Gundogan‘s vs Chelsea as the former and Martial’s dive vs us as worst dive.

The article is fine. It's different players talking about their worst/most embarrassing moment in the cup. Our section is Michael Richards talking about the Notts County game.

Yeah, apologies. Having since read the article it wasn't as bad as the headline suggested. No idea why Micah picked that game ahead of the 3-0 home thrashing we received by Forest in 2009 though.

Hahaha Daniel James. After a decent month of scoring they were talking about having their left wing sorted for 10 years. They were saying the same about Wan Bissaka at RB after a few months. Look at the state of them now. They never learn lol.

As for Van de Beek, I think he's one of their more talented players, he's one of their very few players who looks like he might be comfortable playing possession football. But an £80m player, the new Johan Cruyff etc? He wanted to go to United and not Real Madrid? Frenkie de Jong has always been rated far more highly. That SSN guy is a clueless Man U sycophant shill.

tHe paper boy has ruined him there. Very good player before he went.

Take it Bournemouth Vs Utd or Wrexham Vs Arsenal don't get a mention?

He's still a good player, just needs to leave United or get more game time. Tbh I love the fact he won't start him and persists with shite like Fred and McTominay.

For all the grief we give the BBC that tribute on football focus brought tears to my eyes.
