I know it is, but it’s a cheap shot that, for me there’s no more or less moaning on here than on any other footy forum.

Agreed.

Whether it's here, Other football forums or Even in a pub debating football you'll always get these conversations.

ITV was shite anyway ;)

 

[SWPISHOME]

Why is he still there? Another ridiculous decision by the rags.

He's there so we can all piss ourselves laughing when De Ligt is sitting on the bench and Jonny Evans is starting.

Definitely not a cheap shot like you said.
I often have a good moan on here it gives the wife and dogs a break. CTID

It's a pity that a large chunk of the comments involve all sorts of accusations against the ITV commentary team and limited insight into what was good and bad about the teams performance. Surely informed opinion is what constitutes a good post match thread. I am reaching the conclusion that a lot of people alas have little of substance or import to say. To me it seems a lot of our fanbase set out just waiting to be offended and have more interest in what the commentators say than analysing what is actually happening on the pitch.

Spot on obviously. Its very concerning from the sociological point of view. I mean hopefully there is no simple transition, that if a man find himself comfortable only mouning and to attribute only iadequacies to others in area of life hobby/entertainment (watching football is this category i believe) means hes doing in upon other life activities, lets say profession, talking on family, friends etc.

How is it come, that man must have never asked themselves before own opinion, whether I am really sure I would have done better job? They best commentaries, football players, coaches, rivals, experts in any aspect. Constant criticism of everything

Just watched the game for first time. Glad we won as it clearly meant a lot to the players. Not really much can be read into it imo

 

[remember arthur mann]

Probably very happy, as he will be coining it in.

He's had his teeth done,care of the rag fan's, now he needs that dodgy chin and wandering eye sorted.

Thought we started OK yesterday and got gradually worse as the game went on. The United goal when it arrived had been coming for a while but at least we responded, got the equaliser and won the shoot-out.

Kovacic good, Bobb made his case for a lot more mins this season and Rico was decent. Akanji and Dias deserve credit for playing the entire game having only reported to training this week. The midfield was concern though; the O'Reilly kid just kept overrunning the ball and lost it way too many times to be serviceable in the team on that showing. McAtee did ok and largely passed it to a Blue shirt but we were overrun in midfield second half when our inexperience in that area showed. Savinho had a decent cameo but he will be competing with Doku, Grealish and Bobb for minutes this year in an area we have covered twice over.

We desperately need younger legs and someone who can both play alongside Rodri and also spell him so he needs a rest, without the current huge drop-off when Rodders doesnt play. We also cant go into the season with 33 wide players and only 1 recognised striker. We've trousered £150m plus this summer so funds absolutely must be there - this areas need addressing if we want to be challenging for the 2 big pots.

Agree with most of this. We still haven't resolved how we set up when Rodri is not playing but am confident Pep can solve this issue. Kova has been mosty excellent, Bernie can play deeper if needed. It will only be a problem against the better teams because we will just overwhelm most of the weaker teams.
I thought yesterday United actually played better than they did in the Cup Final but didn't get the breaks this time. But we were also better yesterday than we were in the Final, even with a depleted team.

 

[Eccles Blue]

Either that or Rashford is a lying twat.
Based on his Walter Mitty defence story when he was caight speeding, I would suggest it's the latter.

He attended Ashton on Mersey School near the Carrington campus. As did all Trafford United academy people apparently since 1998!
He also got a BTEC National Diploma in Sport! I really really think you need to pick up a few books to do that. Especially at AIM School.

 

[ScottSinclair]

Does this ring any bells?

Haha yeah, that was a pretty obvious one to miss

What is it with all those back room staff dicks, lined up in identical suit and ties, like they’re getting a team photo done or some shit?

Until I watched highlights of the game this afternoon, I’d never seen that Omar guy in my life. Despite being at City for years.

They showed more of him and the other bellends than half the players on the highlights.

Didn’t look like Scruffy Jim bothered though. Probably at the Chelsea game.

Agreed. Like the Soviets at a 1970s rally. They are such Wally's from top to bottom. The fans look like the Bay City Rollers even now.

 

[Hoghead]

Well, we won without Rodders!

Thanks for the confirmation EB.
I've said all along he's a self serving fraud.

So many rags in the City ends (and one lad with a C Ronaldo shirt). How do these tossers get tickets? Are they being sold them by blues, or are they paying £35 for cityzens membership?

Don’t know why they needed to though as there were plenty of empty seats in their end, especially top tier behind the goal

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

Just watched the match, rags playing Dyche ball , crowding their area with little to offer. Good work out for us but bigger fish to fry

 

[PeterBarnesShorts]

So funny watching them trying to ‘play’ out from the back!Absolutely f’kin clueless still…not to mention technically inept!..The gift that….

Weird dickheads there to provoke a reaction mate

And just in case you blinked and missed one of the aforementioned knobheads, the commentator gleefully mentioned all the new staff 3 dozen times in each half, the daft twat.
