It’s all very well being top of XG but no good if you can’t hit a barn door.

Precisely. There is no column in the table for xG.

You cannot paint a turd.

But you can flush it.

I’d be interesting to see he footage that goes with these stats. I imagine Erling races clear & knocks it past the keeper into the net & Nunez chases the ball trying to get it under control before smashing it out for a throw.

Meanwhile Antony is still going round in circles........ before putting the ball out.

Exactly. I think I prefer Actual Goals.

& his options have been closed down with every slow rotation.

I blame it on the Rags spin doctors.

Slightly off topic but I caught the last ten or 15 minutes of United v Surs the other week and was just in time to hear the co-commentator (Savage, I think?) inform the wold that... "He [Rashford] doesn't know his own speed. He wouldn't have been expecting to get onto the end of that through ball, surprised himself when he did and couldn't control it...".

Pure poetry, that. Emotional stuff, I'm sure you'll agree. Certainly, there wasn't a dry seat in my house.

The thought of you all weeing on your armchairs has put me off my poached eggs on toast.
Savage is a wordsmith .

I really couldn't give a toss if the press/media think Nunez is better than Haaland.

A centre forwards roll is to score goals simple.

Somebody thinks Nunez is better than Haaland?

I agree about Anfield. Old Trafford used to be horrendous in those middle terrace sections. I still think Burnley is a potential deathtrap with just one exit tunnel by the toilets. I can't believe that stadium has a safety certificate.

Spurs away late 70's i think. .as we were leaving the 'yid army' tried to charge in..bottle neck at the gates.. i was about 10 at the time and crushed against a wall about 3 ft off the ground..bloke grabbed me and somehow put me on top of a cabin roof.. i just sat tgere watching the mayhem. Then when it quietened down my old man walked back in and found me...still think i was quite close to never seeing Barnesy flying down the wing again.. we should all bow our heads when Hillsborough is mentioned not think its a WU tool.

Yeah but your not taking into account the new rules for this season.

* Tap-ins don’t count.
* Charity Shield goals count double.
* Goals by players earning more than £5 million a week don’t count at all.

Larry Ryan: How can 'boring' Man City entertain us if we want them to lose?

There is considerable momentum behind the idea that City’s style of play is tedious

Not sure how I missed this but well, wow...

I'm genuinely stunned that I enjoyed reading a balanced article that wasn't penned by one M. Samuel...........

All the XG experts are that boring they'd turn Medusa's tits to stone.

No one mentions Hillsborough. It's all the other shit that everyone 'mentions'.

Mr Sheen from Stretford is doing a roaring trade locally :-)

 

[Tommy_Catons_Perm]

Not if its man utd. They are definitely a synonym for a turd that won't flush. I often refer to man utd in such a way to a rag supporting neighbour and even he considers it rather apt.

Pep once again “bigging up” other clubs & managers, scum are back etc. always seems to work against us…..okay being a nice guy but doesn’t do us any favours

That’s the one, jabba the hut. Last few times his shite videos were posted on here he was very vocal and was actively encouraging all the other collection of fan gobshites to slag us and our ‘oil money’.

We stopped watching his vlogs years ago.
