People enjoy 'pretty' football because it's how the game should be played.
The long ball, playing to your strengths, is a tactic that you see in the lower divisions by teams who can't afford the top quality you see in the Premier League.
The fact that Utd have to resort to it after spunking nearly 300 million in a couple of years is just one more reason to laugh at them.

Spot on. Teams like the old Wimbledon side had a reason for playing route one football. It's the cheapest and most effective way of winning a game. Pretty it ain't, and no lover of football could be truly happy with their team playing that way. For a club like the rags, with the money at their disposal and the money they have spent building that team, it is inexcusable.

Aha likely true, he seems even more violent in the big matches, & being from Everton I wouldn't be surprised to see him elbowing the crap out of anyone who gets near him. Would love him to be sent off.

I'd love to seem him do it to the wrong person, and watch them get up and knock the **** out. He has got away with it for far too long.

It's great isn't it. A club that for so long claimed they played 'The United Way' with their wingers and attacking football have been left to resort playing a poorer version of Wimbledon!

After spunking nearly a third of a billion...
 
Two very expensively assembled Wimbledon style teams thrashing it out with each other. Worth a watch through comedy value alone.

And STILL there are too many Blues thinking the doughnut thief is a better keeper than Hart.

Is he bollocks, get a fucking grip.

Exactly. I remember seeing the highlights of that game where everyone was hailing him as the best keeper in the league. All of the shots were either straight at him or fairly easy to reach. There was nothing special in it at all. He's a very good keeper, but he's not Neuer. Or Hart. Admittedly, he gets a lot more chances to show his talents in every match playing behind that shite.

I was joking, tbh I actually like Pellegrini. Get what you are saying but it's not just about playing a straight bat with the press he just sort of mumbles whenever he's asked a question and it is kind if boring you have to admit. Anyway this fascination with what manager's say or how they look or dress is OTT. It's all about what happens on the pitch.

I've noticed City don't even put the press conferences on Youtube any more. I stopped watching them. I'm guessing a lot of other people did too.

Read that bit in bold and think about it, you've answered your own question, and if you think that deal fell through because of a dodgy email then you're more than a little bit naive.

I didn't say that it fell beacause of a dodgy mail but because of them not being able to do things in time. Raggies took 8 fucking hours for Navas and gave them only 1.45 hours to complete the paperwork for De Ratface. Furthermore submitted the papers at 11.59 for De Ratface. Tell me how's that a masterstroke from raggies considering he would've been a madrid player had they signed him a day earlier or raggies weren't fucking incompetent.

Or maybe they did it deliberately, in which case it worked out quite well for them. In the short term. Might have a problem next time they go sniffing for a Real Madrid player though.
 
Anyone read the "article" (using the term loosely) that claimed we had bid £44m for Martial? They are really getting desperate now
 
Rooney has gone downhill since he played in his old mate big Dunc's testimonial. Pulling on the blue shirt again must have messed him up!!!!!!

People are obsessed with pretty football. Long passes, not to be confused with long hopeful clearences to Fellani was unplayable at times last season. You play to your strengths and Fellani is good in the air. Even we struggled against it last season.

You're right, to a degree. I think the issue is when a team spends 200mil, they should have more strengths than kicking it to the big man
 
Apparently it's good for English football if 'Martian' is a success at United. That is the view of Ian Wright; long known for his support of expensive players coming to us.
 
When you think of the way Rafa's fact speech and Kev's I'd love it were reported its another indication of how the media have a rag wankfest that his singing (the latest in a long line of idiot actions from him) has been covered.

II even doubt rent a quote/look at me squirting water media darling Maureen would have got away with it.

I don't think he is getting away with it now, when the likes of Ferdinand and Neville are penning articles they have down recently you can tell the tide is changing. They know everything they built up since 1992 is eroding before their very eyes.

It's D day for turtle head today, the lose they could be down in 12th. Looks like their main goal threat might not be playing and they may have to rely on some kid who rocked up on dead line day. The scousers might throw them a free pass with their comical defending though.

The end of October can't come soon enough, we owe that horrible lot one for celebrating like they won the World Cup when they beat us.
