>> Castles and the Sky <<
Man to Man in Manchester?

Once upon a time, the whole pack of football writers was in thrall to Jose Mourinho. As time has gone on though, and Mou has got more bad tempered and defensive, his cheerleading squad has defected one by one.

These days it's only really Duncan Castles who's left defending him – and that's mainly because Castles is Mourinho's pet hack, getting the party line directly from agent Jorge Mendes, then regurgitating it straight into the Sunday Times – for about £1-2k a pop (nice work if you can get it!)

But Castles' defence of Man Utd's Paul Pogba (who was red carded against Arsenal last weekend) was too much even for fellow Murdoch hacks to take. Sky's touchline reporter Geoff Shreeves was so incensed by Castles that he basically offered Castles out over Twitter this weekend, suggesting they settle their argument "face to face" when Shreeves is up for the Manchester Derby on Sunday.

Manchester-based hacks are waiting with bated breath to see if Castles takes Shreeves up on it.

I had a stupid to-do, you know the social media group arguments with ManUre fans on Chinese WeChat... and these guys were expats, eventually I found out that one is from the Mancunian district of Brighton (or Hove) and the other, strewth knows. Everything was personal insults at me calling me inbred because I'm from Manchester. Flipping classless fans.

De Gea is a good keeper but he does make a lot of routine saves that are raved about as world class. And when he does make a mistake it's pretty much ignored.

Best in the world? I wouldn't have thought so.

Right now I'd say he is because neur is out injured.

De Gea is the best goalkeeper in world football by a country mile and it's hilarious how people continually down play his brilliance.

He's absolutely phenomenal, the sole reason they're so close to us. Without him they'd finish midtable.

Agree. It's just a matter of time before he leaves for Real Madrid.
 
Can we please move on from the De Gea debate.
At the end of the day he pulls on the Devils colours therefore = twunt.

Can't believe De Gea's ability is being questioned. Partly this is down to differing definitions of world class. For me it is simple. You are world class if you would get into most teams in the world. Would De Gea? Absolutely he would. Especially in a country like Peru where he's originally from. they'd even weave his man bun into a poncho
