Match of the Day - 2017/18

[JASR]

back page review all about salah

You know MotD usually has the previous year’s champions lifting the trophy as the final part of the opening credits, well, next year it’s going to be a bit of change, it’s going to be a mixture of different winners, as it was getting a bit boring and repetitive...
So, it’s a combo of:
Last years golden boots best moments
The FA cup winners
the CL runners up
A montage paying tribute to the English managers of the PL
British Leylands best red vintage buses with player cameos in hilarious poses
The Harry Kane teams new stadium

And then straight into 2018/2019 prospects with City only scoring 2 goals on the opening day, means that the overhyping over the summer has been bubble burst

They prove absolutely nothing without context. That United team won titles and got to Champions league finals. Now we did magnificent in the league but fell short in the Champs League, got embarrassed in the fa cup and did our best to get knocked out if the league cup.

Our stats are magnificent. We are the greatest ever team over one single season, in the premier league. That does not mean we are the greatest ever team. Now does it mean we are better than other teams in every way. In as far as that United team goes, I would have VDS, Neville, Evra, Ferdinand, Carrick, Rooney, Ronaldo and Tevez as being good enough to get in our team.

Admit it you're Danny Kelly he was building upto this kind of rubbish when I turned talkragshite off yesterday early evening.

I've watched it two or three times this entire season but never again. It's dross.

 

[Nightmare Walking]

Give over lol.

Which one of the players I listed would not get in our current team? I have even left Vidic out but you could argue that the 2007 version of Vidic was better than any of our centre backs currently are.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

And yet we clearly are better than them in every respect. The numbers prove it.

The point I would make is that we are never gonna be given top billing wether it were for a single moment in a game, an entire game or a season. Every time we reach a milestone, and have done it with more style, panache and artistry than any other team, the RDAHMeedya shift the goalposts. We are better than MANUre's title and trophy winning teams, but as JugEars said last night on MotD we have to be serial winners. Bullshine, I call it! They cannot bring themselves to fully acknowledge that there has ever been a football team like ours and their beloved Rags and Dippers are streets ahead 'cos they did it over a lengthier period. The Romans and Greeks lasted a fucking long time but since either of them there's been a lot better stuff that ain't lasted as long! Longevity is not a measure of quality!

That Utd team was absolutely class tbf as hard as it is for me to admit it. Van der sad, Gary neville, Rio, vidic, evra, carrick, Scholes, Ronaldo and rooney would walk into this City team and pep would admit that himself. What this city team does have though is youth on their side and the ability to improve a lot

Personally I have no problems with what Shearer said as I fully understand where he`s coming from.We need to use this year as a stepping stone to prove to one and all that it was not a one off season,as has happened in our previous two PL years when trying to retain the league.
He did use some wonderful words to describe how we`ve played this year but I do understand his using of the word "great" in the context that we need to show consistency over the next couple of years and get back to back PL wins.
No fucker with half a brain cell can say anything else about this seasons remarkable way in which we`ve broken,what is it something like eight different records ?
Lets do it again next season lads and then prove we are truly a great team.
Consistency is all we need and with Pep at the helm he wont let standards drop.
Bring it on you Blue Boys.

So, 3 Premier league titles in 6 years isn't worthy of being called a great team? Pray tell who else has done anywhere near that? Almost forgot the 3 cups.

They prove absolutely nothing without context.

The context of the complete history of top flight football you mean?

It's 3 in 7 seasons.
