Media Discussion - 2023/24

You have to laugh…
Henry Winter in The Times with his player ratings: City’s total score: 75. United’s total score… yep 75. Absolutely laughable. A total and utter bell end of a ‘journalist’. He’s an embarrassment to the media and himself.

Winter is an absolute tosser. His arrogance is unreal, he speaks as though his opinion is of greater quality and is more important than anybody else's.

From the end of the BBC report this morning:
New co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has said he wants to knock City off their perch. On this evidence, he is going to need a pretty long ladder to attempt that.

You might see this in another couple of threads.

I won't deny he is a total and utter bell-end of a journalist and an embarrassment to the media but he could have been marling players based on their abilities. We got equal scores because the result reflected the (mind the) gap between the two teams.

I didn’t even Casemiro had played until I heard someone mention him on the radio as we drove home from the match!

It’s a crass football term…. Don’t look to be offended no one is being raped….

I much prefer "his 2nd touch is a tackle" ;)

Tbf to them, they usually look like a collection of players who have just met, have no strategy, and just do any old random shit they feel like.

Today they did all work to a plan, even if it was just to park the bus and throw away the key
.
I'd be embarrassed if we ever went into a big game with a gameplan like that. They did use to be a big club. Not any more.

I thought it was the worst United team I have seen. I think they are clutching at straws. We had nine times more shots and they had one on target. A fair result would have been seven or eight one. Ten Hag is deluded. I didn’t see any plan other than hoofing the ball up front. Basically League One level stuff.

I viewed it that way too.

To only lose 3-1 shows they played out of their skins.

I did wonder if Rashford was simply trying to control the ball when he smashed it in. I was staggered how poor he was, he failed at every other action.
