This, they weren’t terrible last night but attacking wise that was them at full strength and they didn’t lay a glove on us. Bruno this and Bruno that he couldn’t create shit against a good defence. If these are out title rivals then I’m not worried one bit

Agreed but we were so good we made them blunt. I am worried that against other teams they have the tools - pace, players who can see a pass, diving and dodgy reffing for them to be a major challenger this season.
 
Get a tenner on them getting a pen against Burnley if needed. It is the Prem that the powers that be want them to be challenging for. That’s where the money is. I had a feeling we would get a fair game last night.

They have improved, no doubt about it. However, I’d say only to top 6 level, whereas last season I’d say they were of top 8 standard.

Just shows you how they can be artificially elevated though.

The Prem will want to keep them within touching distance to create the narrative. I think they will be happy for a few to be tussling at the top but make no mistake they won’t allow the rags to not be part of it and well out of the race come March.

Burnley are 6/1 for the win with Paddypower......might have £20 on it.

Is why they are where they are.

Rentboy comes across as an affable sort of chap, nothing like the Pisscan or Bingo. But he is woefully out of his depth as a Premier League manager/coach - as has been noticed many a time in the last 18 months or so.
But as long as the media are on his side he's safe. And as long as the current footballing authorities in this country remain in their jobs the rags will always be there or thereabouts.

However, any football club that has to rely almost 100% on controversial penalty decisions to win a game is on thin ice. Very thin ice. Because although the vermin might think they've got friends within pigmol, there's no such thing as a free lunch in the Premier League. Riley and his mates have got the rags in the palms of their hands because of the favours that are owed to them. Like making a pact with the Mafia, they do you a favour and by fuck do they want one in return...with interest.

Enjoy it for the moment, lurking raggies. But the truth will always out and you WILL pay, one way or another (Oh, fuck! Now I've got that Blondie number bouncing around in my bonce).
 
A deflected lady minute winner and a penalty that should never have been given and all of a sudden "they're back"

This happens under Ole every season, give it a month and they'll be fighting for fourth at best again.

Pogba is shit all this hype about him is a joke

Pogba is not shit. Pogba is an exceptional player. Check out his performances for Juve or for France.

Since he has been at the swamp however Pogba has turned out dogshit performance after dogshit performance. He is not the only player in recent history who has looked the dogs bollocks but has turned to shit within a short time of arriving at the swamp. Falcao, Angel Di Maria, Sanchez, Ibrahimovic, Rojo, even Donny van whatsisface. Back to Juan Sebastian Veron, even.

There is something toxic about that club, something that stops a lot of players playing to the best of their ability after they arrive, and something that they benefit from being free of when they leave. It has happened too many times for it to be a coincidence.

Pogba would be five times the player at pretty much any other club in the world.

I'd have gladly have had Pogba at one time at City under Pep. I'm worried he's a bit damaged goods now though.

I don’t think he’d fit with us. But at PSG, Barca, back at Juve, he’d be a different player. Just like Falcao, just like Sanchez.

I think Serie A suited him more with a slower pace to the game and more time on the ball. Juventus were a very defensive side which suited him to give him freedom to go forward. I don't think he's shit he does have ability but hasn't shown it in England, I don't think the Rags are all to blame for his rapid decline he us just as much to blame as anybody. How long is he their now 5 years is it? Can count on one hand how many good games he's had. The Rags have actually tried everything basically bought players to try free him up and still not producing.

I wouldn't think he would make our bench to be honest.

The main issue with Pogba is that he feels he's bigger than the club. All about what's good for him etc.

We need to kill this dead. Sky play the crowd noise straight onto the tele. It is why you can select a chanel without crowd noise. Sky put the applause in NOT the rags
