Paul Pogba put Manchester United's worst start in 27 years down to being "cursed"

“We’re going to start thinking we’re cursed,” said Pogba.
“It doesn’t matter which team comes here, we dominate them, be it Arsenal or West Ham.
Our luck will change at one time or another and it’s then that we’ll have to take it.”

Strange... they didn't dominate us!!!
 
Here's what I want to know.
If that was a yellow card offence, why was the exact same one that he did a few minutes later at the other end of the pitch result in a foul against the west ham player and not another yellow?
And when he deliberately pushed the player to the ground, from behind, after the ball had gone out of play, under the linesemans nose was deemed a throw in instead of another yellow card?
 
Denial is a wonderful thing.

They're now a top end mid-table side at best, at some stage they'll eventually come to terms with it....or perhaps not.

It's interesting to apply the Kubler-Ross 5-stsge model of grief to their situation. I always thought this was a linear model, where you moved from one stage to another, eventually getting to the end state. Yet Peg seems to be exhibiting all five simultaneously.

Stage 1 - Denial. "We're the unluckiest club in the world. We're dominating opponents but aren't getting the wins".

Stage 2 - Anger. At refs, his players, his situation and anyone/anything else, real or imaginary, that annoys him.

Stage 3 - Bargaining. "All I need is 4 more transfer windows and a billion pounds then I'd have a world-beating team.

Stage 4 - Depression." I'm living in a hotel and my family are staying in London".

Stage 5 - Acceptance. "We have to be realistic. We aren't th at good any more and we need to rebuild".
 
After completing her questionnaire, I gave her the first nine inches of my nose.
