The Blades play them midweek as well. Be great if Sheff could win both.

I’m not sure that’ll be allowed.

The titanic battle for 5th, spent probably as much as City have since Fergie has gone. They still haven’t come anywhere near winning a league title. It was never outlined on the brochure when those massive rags from Cornwall, Ireland and Beijing signed up to support the greatest team in the world that it would end up like this.

Like a time share at a building site.

If ever there was a home banker

All we can do is keep making them irrelevant, with ourselves & Chelsea collecting 11 major trophies apiece over the last decade & a couple of others winning the odd one, they haven’t won a title for seven years & look as far away as ever, if they ever qualify for the champions league getting out of the group stage is a struggle, take that one season of Maureen cup wins out of the equation & you’re left with very little to shout about, they are fast becoming the Arsenal of the north

Yep. Get your money on that and another penalty.

 

[Rolee]

That Pogba penalty, he grabs Dier by the arm and pulls him into him to make contact, what do those that say it's a penalty see?

This lot will be hoping the Court of Arbitration for sport rules against us to qualify for the champions league. They cannot qualify on sporting merit.

What is the story behind the breaks for drinking water?
Are the powers that be subtly trying to break the match up into 4 quarters like, say, American football?

It’s one rule for all games (regardless of kick off time) and was introduced (as with summer tournaments) when the temperature can get high in summer months. It’s literally two minutes though.

Don’t underestimate the power of Gill and Mike Riley!? Just look at the scousers this season yep they deserve the coronavirus Asterisk league but not by 20+ points.

We get banned the rags spend big they will push for the title next season it’s so easy for powers that be to manipulate games now with bent referees and those men in the Var box!!

Switched on Sky Sports News this morning to see this drunken Roy Keane reaction, cheered me up a bit to see him laying into them and Evra trying to cover for his mates, but honestly sky should just rename that channel as the Istree Channel and refund any Spurs fans their monthly fee. Pandering to the biggest fanbases shamelessly trying to get that feel of watching the game with your red mates, all in awe of the matchday atmosphere they've never experienced but love to use as a barometer to beat others with.

Evra and Keane analysing the game, heavily one sided for a start. United rescue a point, United's fault they didn't win, Pogba was great, Fernandes is the best midfielder in the world.

Spurs were 'ok' was the only mention they got in ten minutes I watched. They didn't show the penalty incidents either. Why? We know why. Showed Maguire getting outpaced I presume for the spurs goal, but stopped before anyone had a shot so I don't know for sure if that was the goal or not.

Embarrassingly biased. BBC aren't much better either, also running with the United rescue a point view. Which is pretty amazing seeming as though they were playing nobody at all, from what I can gather.

They can moan about illegal streams all they want, Saudi Arabia state piracy and blocking investment at Newcastle (whilst relaxing FFP for the cartel members benefit), but whilst our coverage over here remains so biased and unwatchable, they'll always be a market for a more fair football show experience. I just wish someone would figure that out, I'd happily pay for a more rounded service. I'm sure plenty of other fans of less important teams feel the same.

Saturday morning rant over. Just stinks how they're being shoehorned into Europe whilst the media blow sunshine up their arses to the point that other teams don't get a mention. Dirty red turdbaskets.

It was an amazing post even before it finished with the word “turdbaskets” but rather like the modern gentleman pursuing another popular activity, you absolutely finished with a flourish. Bravo.
