No doubt they've said that we've shared it over the last 8 years.

Having seen Adrian Heath score should be the new (though even older) York away.

My memory of him was the booing when his name was announced.

They can have 2 in 6 or 2 in 34…….

My simple view in Rashford.
Hedge fund club trying to get him off the wage bill.
Answer loan to another hedge fund club dropping Watkins to accomodate.
Hedge fund owned MSM ordered to premote him above all .
Result Rashford gets a move and United nearer to passing PSR.
Simple view i know but bet its not very far from the truth.

Isn't there owner Egyptian?

 

[waspish]

For years I have been amazed how the pundits and sports writers (and the current England manager) fawn over him. Any other England player exhibiting anywhere near his poor form and attitude would have been in the wilderness long ago.

It is a classic case of the Emperors New Clothes.

Rashford PR management team I swear pay these people to chat this about him the media because they can't be all blind

From there web site yes partly Egyptian owned.
The club is currently owned by V Sports, a company owned by the Egyptian billionaire Nassef Sawiris, the American billionaire Wes Edens, and American investment company Atairos.

Isn't there a Rashford thread somewhere where you can all slag him off to your hearts content...?

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

My memory of him was the booing when his name was announced.

He got booed on to the pitch when making his debut as a sub IIRC. Keeping Clive Allen out of the time whilst not scoring didn't endear him to the fans.

Any thread I enter is an anti-Rashford thread. The guy's a total fraud.

 

[dadnlad]

is merson ok here ? he keeps repeating what he's saying

Boring and childish.

 

[thegoatsthegoat]

Don't usually watch pre match just caught the 2007 highlights but if ure happy with sky's unbiased coverage good for you

Happy? Probably not, I would say educating on their actual build up rather than screaming agenda over one small snippet just adds a bit more balance doesn't it. Them highlighting how dominant we have been in that fixture, showing every game during that period of dominance probably outweighs showing their last win in 2007. More than happy go go in on sky when deserved.

 

[Damocles]

Boring and childish.

Having opinions on football and football players is sort of the entire point of a footy forum mate

 

[mexico1970]

Boring and childish.

Maybe start a thread asking "What makes Marcus a great player and how do we replicate that in our academy?".

He was Reid’s drinking partner

The thing about Rashford is that I meet a lot of people, particularly middle aged women, who love him to bits due to the school dinners project he got himself involved in. I've had more than enough conversations with people who have little to no interest in the game who wax lyrical about Rashford and how amazing he is. The Utd fans I know can't stand him, but there seems to be a cultured narrative around him as some sort of man of the people that was also played into when his mural was defaced after the Euro 2021 final, when the narrative was around racism. He seems to act as some sort of symbol for whatever the issue of the day is. It's strange, because I've heard a few times that everyone from Mourinho to Ten Hag wanted him out of the club, and struggled to shift him.

If you can't get in the rags team you must be shite.
Rashford is a self indulgent wanker. Why would any person own 3 Roll's Royce's, one being gold coloured. Then parade up and down Kingsway in them flaunting his wealth. What a roll model !!!!

Brian Clough used to drive a big Rolls Royce. For a period around 2000s or so, I used to see him all the time in Wilmslow but he never seemed to live locally.

Yet when he helps feed the nation everyone takes the piss and calls him fish fingers. What do you want him to do to be a role model? Not drive down Kingsway? What a weird take.
