To be fair, still more insightful than listening to Owen, Wio, McManeman, Ginger Pig, Stephen Warnock etc etc etc :-)

Edit: FFS - how did I manage to leave Rat-Boy off the list. Many apologies all............
That’s not saying much, though, is it?

You also left camelgob off your list.

;-)
 
The press will cover it up by saying it's an essential expense required to prune the squad for the dawn of the Scruffy Jim era. He's running the football side so it's OK.
They will not consider why the rags have to get rid of these ten players when every one of them has been hailed as the new fan-kicking ****, the new liver-wasting, wife-beating ****, the new sister-in-law-shagger, the new Duncan Edwards and the new bald ticket tout.
Almost every player in their squad has been lauded to an unbelievable degree just because they play for the rags and the over-hyping is forgotten about once they leave.
The owner is Rat-cliffe the players are rat-shit. - We know a song about how shit they are.
And it was sung brilliantly at Etihad on Sunday.

Rarely has a truer chant reverberated around a football stadium.
 
I've just watched the tunnel cam video on the OS of Sunday's mis-match. The look of resignation on the face of the Rag players as they came climbing the stairs. All they needed was a tattoo on their foreheads - WE'RE GONNA BE FUCKED! It compares markedly with the look after the game - delighted it was over no doubt.

Doing alright isn't he?
 
Saw bits & pieces of the second half, but the first half of United was very tight and compact. Probably one of their best defensive performances this season. Some unlucky bounces saved City from their counterattacks and it could have been worse than 0-1. But it was kind of expected to tire eventually, read that both Rashford and Evans carried an injury and in normal condition wouldn't have played at all. The number of injuries many top sides around the leagues this season is worrying, Liverpool, United, Barcelona, and Bayern all ravaged at some point.

City & Arsenal have been luckiest in that term and it shows that they are doing good and contesting for the titles. We'll see if Liverpool gets some of their players back now or if they have to rely on kids longer.

I loved ETH's Ajax & I was quite buzzing to see what he could do in United, but this season has been so tough. I don't follow them in depth so I don't know if they have a plan now on how to prepare better for next season, but they need some quality additions and figure out how to outcome the injuries.
 
If you want proof Rashford just doesn't give a shit just watch the tunnel cam video City have released.

At full time he stroms down the tunnel on his own in a huff. Pep gives him a little handshake but that's it.

Doesn't go with his teammates to clap the rag fans which are left and zero interaction with staff.

Entitled twat
