Deja vu?

 

[remember arthur mann]

They’re not winning the ball, we are gifting them possession.

Yep, faffing about, giving them options.

 

[I'm Blue]

No need from Ake.

every decision by kevin this game has been baffling

Sterling needs to know what's around him before receiving the ball. He is slowing down play by thinking after he has it.

Moyes with the proper backing would have had the rubbin' rags purring.

It’s got nothing to do with rubbing. They’re called ‘the rags’ because they wear red and they’re annoying.
As per the phrase “like a red rag to a bull” a reference to a bullfighter waving a red rag at a bull to annoy it.

It seems that the historical and actual meaning of the word ‘rags’ in the context of united, is generally poorly understood and some people make some comical guesses.
One of my daughters once asked me if calling united the ‘rags’ was a reference to a ladies monthly cycle.
I was tempted to say yes but I’m a fair minded bloke so I put her right on the topic.

That is never a foul by Ake.

Blobby Moss is a joke.
