Was listening to Radio 5 yesterday for a few hours while driving. The amount of self promotion was unbelievable.... listen to BBC sounds....go to bbc website... Watch on iPlayer. The presenters must get a bonus for each plug they do!

Izzy Christiansen on radio 5 just said Rodri dived against the rags! Is she a rag supporter?

Desperate for a media contract.

Fair enough, just rewatched it and I did mis-hear 'ordered to give it a go' for 'always give it a go"

He did say united were 'in the mood to give it a real go'... not sure what evidence he was basing that on.

It's still inaccurate of the commentator to say 'united will be ordered to give this go as they always will at home'... as per my original point, I've seen no evidence at all that they're under any orders to 'give it a go' in any of the games they've played this season, if anything the only orders they receive are to defend deep, stifle the opposition and try and nick a goal on the break... the very opposite of 'giving it a go'

I agree, as I said I'm not sure who it is orders them to give it a go. But not withstanding being ordered to do something and actually doing it are very different.
However I do feel at the point he made the comment (within the first 10 minutes) United were giving it a go (arguably they were the better team) so I can see the evidence on which he based his comment on.

I wish some of them would plug themselves into the mains

She also said that Maguire would make a good captain..so I'm not sure she can really be taken seriously.

Exactly the same as Akanji’s sending off against Brighton. These idiots really should be held up for the shite they spout, at least we have an excuse as we’re unpaid.

And the bullshit that goes with it....I can't wait to listen to the podcast... I'll be checking out the website soon..... Make sure you watch match of the day tonight.....

I've gotten kinda addicted to this YouTube channel recently, I can't believe it has so few followers or comments, it's funny as hell and posts before/after almost every game (informative too!)

By the way, I have no affiliation with the channel owner!

It's, er, "different".

Spot on. What the Glazers have done, post-Fergie, is the stuff of gold.

A caller earlier on talk sport hadn’t right. Whenever big name players are banded about for a move, United are never ever linked anymore. It’s City, Real, Barca. Never United anymore.

That was from a rag.

It’s worse than that, players will look at it and see what happens to players there

People seem to be guessing that Ivan Toney might be the player in question. Would you class him as a "top top" player, though?

Disappointed but didn’t expect anything from the twisted media nothing on in the headlines with regards to City being the best team in the world for the last 2 seasons.

 

[Chris in London]

Is and always will be my favourite left back at City

Mods, ban this fucker

 

[Fred_Quimby]

Just complain Ed to the BBC about lack of coverage. Not holding my breath.

A good article examining the differences between how us and the Rags are run. Nothing particularly new it but it reminded me of City in the latter years of Swales where there were rumours that people in the club wanted us to fail.

Ralf Rangnick's appointment at Manchester United is largely regarded as a mistake - but was his diagnosis right all along?
