United thread 2020/21

Just wait until the New Year when he becomes the new Beckham with Marcus Rashford fragrances skiddies and is in every paper (perhaps not the Mail) and magazine and on every chat show.
Ashton is only on stage 2 of the Operation.

Haha. Imagine if he gets a knighthood and Beckham continues to be snubbed.

10 pens so far this season on watch. It’s hard to get the stats on penalties received in the cups, so we will need to keep on it for the other competitions just in case they miss any. So far it looks like this;

Prem 5 pens 4 scored
Champs League 4 pens 4 scored
Carabao Cup 1 pen 1 scored.

On course to beat their record of last season of 22 (which is the 2nd highest of all time of all 5 top leagues - only Barca in 2015/16 have received more (24)). I reckon a few more before the New Year to get them near to 15.

Strange considering how much possession they haven’t had in games.

Didnt they play 5 at the back against us, with their coward brand of football and the ref still managed to point at the spot.

Nah. Strange is what the likes of Riley and his cohorts want us to think. It's planned and it's calculated so that both the rags and the dippers will be there or thereabouts come the end of the season - money.
Why should the likes of Pigmol and the VAR operatives worry if the rest of us can see what they're doing? We cannot prove anything so on it goes. Year in year out, contentious penalties, red/yellow cards for opponents, farcical leniency for the redshirts, and favouritism from the media means those two clubs are a protected species.

It is not going to change unless we do something, all of us. We have to make a stand because sooner or later the anger and frustration from the fans that has been simmering for a long time will boil over and something awful is going to happen.

Maybe we need the fans of all the other clubs on board with this to get it off the ground.
I totally agree its time we all stood up against it

I think what Rashford has done is absolutely brilliant. Forget the rivalries I really like this kid, he's local and has made it at the club he supports, I bit like our Phil.
What he has done for the poverty that is an undercurrent in this country you can only applaud him, footballers these days get tagged as greedy, selfish, aloof and being detached from reality and couldn't care less about society but this kid has put his heart and his time into something that obviously he still carries with him to this day despite the fact he's made his money in the game.
Even if he'd managed to feed just one family in need he'd have succeeded in his fight against it, to get the numbers he did is fantastic.
I find it heartwarming and especially in the difficult moments we find ourselves in at this present time.

Have to respectfully disagree. This is a very well staged PR exercise aided and abetted by the albeeb in particular Silly Sally who is a good friend of St Marcus's media manager. Whilst I agree that no family should ever go hungry in this country this crusade is for the benefit of the rags and Rashford. Real champions of the poor are people like my old fella who as a shop steward sort donations from the various plants he represented worker's from both the members and employers during the miners strike in 1984. He refused recognition from within his union as he did it out of genuine human compassion rather than the sycophantic response that Rashford, his PR team and the rags are courting.

Fair play, excellent post.

Didn't even realise he was still there tbh.

All about opinions mate and I wholeheartedly respect yours, your old fella sounded a true gentleman with a heart of gold. In this day and age with social media people in the spotlight can't go incognito, I'm sure Rashford would have preferred it that way, unfortunately his PR team and the rags PR team wanted the limelight more.
