United thread 2017/18

If that jigsaw they keep building comes anywhere near winning the league then the Premier League is gash!

Another shocking display from media darling Pogba. I just don't get the coverage he gets. He is not in the top ten midfielders in England. Way behind Dele Alli, Wanyama, Dembele, Eriksen at Spurs; much worse than Silva, KDB, and Ferdy; not as good as Sigurosson at Swansea and even his teamate Herrera is better than him. He was a flat track bully in the slow-paced Italian league where Juve won 4-0 most weeks and is outpaced in the Premier League. He epitomises the deluded nature of the rags and the moronic nature of most sports hacks.

If the Madrid player are holding that line on the assumption that lad is offside


If the Madrid player has stepped up enough based on him being in an offside position, he's interfering, therefore offside.

It's a horrible grey area thing, but that defender is probably stood there based on him.

it's not a grey area in the slightest, it's not offside

It's not an offside mate, give it up. Only if he goes for ball and if he blocks goalkeeper. Everything else is onside.

I lol'd at Owen Hargreaves last night when he said "Real Madrid really are World Class and this is what Mourinho's building at united. It'll take a bit of time, but he'll get there"

I thought to myself, it will take him some fucking time because he hasn't even started

He scores in the same passage of play as the original shot is taken and he's gained an advantage by being in an offside position when the shot was struck
If that isn't offside then the offside law isn't fit for purpose

Been over-hearing heartache and sob stories all morning in work. Amongst the more delusional ones:
Hose A's heroes,
Plucky, gallant display,
Should've scored 4 or 5,
We're gonna walk the League,
We'd half a Team on,
Crap competition anyway,
Not much difference between the two sides.

Dry your fucking eyes. The work Rags are incapable of thinking for themselves due to incessant brain-washing by mainstream media.

Man Utd's footballing dilemma.

And RM should have been out of sight before the rags first opportunity
The two sitters from six yards where they hit the bar for starters

Are you talking about the Utd player second from the top of the picture (about a yard offside)? He's not interfering, so doesn't count under the current rules.

I'm pretty certain that the ball went back to Lukaku, who's by the penalty spot and onside (level with the defender).

If not, could you explain what you think happened?
