United thread 2018/19

[mat]

They've offered to play the Ronaldo release clause of €120,000,000 with De Gea and Pogbad going the other way.

Real said they can keep the Pog...

They've gone full dipper.

You should never go full dipper!

 

[Vienna_70]

So if we add up all of those medals the squad got, how many 'pieces of silverware' did they 'win' then?

And surely, 'runner up' is also an official title, as it formally sets you above those who didn't even get that far, n'est-ce pas?

Second is the first loser, as the Americans say.

 

[Vienna_70]

Me too. But my sheer and utter loathing for all things rag will stay with me for the rest of my life. It's like it's embedded in my DNA to hate those bastards and all who wear a rag shirt. This is something that will never ever leave me - a hatred that I'm sure will live long in my children and my children's children for generations to come.

And your children's children's children.

And your children's children's children' children.

I was kind of hoping we'd stick in a cheeky bid for him. Spanish isn't getting any younger, you know? And Fellaini is a ready made, like for like, replacement.

Oh J.

You are a wag.

 

[Vienna_70]

At least Phil Jones looks pleased.

 

[hutton who blue]

Held to ransom by bog brush and the MEN hails it as a master class from Mourinhno. Can Man City fans vote anywhere for a contract extension for Peg?

You have to look a few times to see his face reflected in the mirror behind Woodward.

 

[East Level 2]

True. It will only end in tears.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Oh J.

You are a wag.

Wag ? Bloody autocorrect.

 

[laughing gravy]

Oh J.

You are a wag.

HAHAHA reminded me of this lol..

When De Gea plays for Spain he saves nothing....especially penalties. He seems to get very nervous playing for the national team.

Because there ain’t 6 defenders in front of him.

 

[SWP's back]

I’ve always said De Gea only saves thing hit straight at him.

Today he proved me wrong. He managed to avoid getting in the way.

3 reasonably simple saves. Didn't make 1. Massively over rated.

I've always thought almost the opposite. He seems to get nutmegged consistently or fumbles it if it is near a legs. One of the most common sights is him sat on the floor punching it after someone rolls the ball through his legs.

As a goalkeeper, its the hardest place to save them unless you have a big fat arse.

He usually is very good at shots hit straight at him as he waits and saves with his legs
In the shoot out he decided to gamble move early, while Russians hit it hard and straight.

Perhaps that is why he is so bad at it. It still feels like one of the weaknesses of his game though compared to other keepers and I would say a ball at or between your legs is 'straight at him'.

 

[ws01]

The ultimate Hollywood keeper who basically only makes saves for the cameras. Just look at the way he saves anything to his left.

Grossly overrated
