United Thread - 2021/22

[Bonzo Nododo]

was going to watch the united game on amazon until i seen the pre-match headlines of ronaldo just needs one goal for 800 goals. knew what was coming and changed my mind. you just knew it was going to be the ronaldo show ?
its so bent and fake and somebody is writing the script

i just watch the highlights and arsenal first goal was being review for so long by VAR to find a way of not giving it
even DDG faked injury by fred who tripped him

its now game on and the officials and VAR are going to open the flood gates and get united back into the top 4

The desired outcome of all decisions for each sort of incident is known before kick off. Time spent on reviews is entirely on how to engineer that particular outcome. How else can decisions be given for similar happenings that range from an instance decision by the match ref with no review, to playing on then being stopped to look at VAR to stopping immediately for a VAR review of varying lengths.
Last night's goal was unusual and they had to do their best to try and disallow it. Many of the lengthier decisions are merely dismissing certain views until they find the one the one they want.
De Gea should have been booked for cheating, dropping to the ground like a stone and then wasting time as if he was seriously hurt from just a bump.

united players are bad enough for diving and feigning injury whenever an opposition player goes anywhere near them, to now start diving and feigning injuries when their own team mates go anywhere hear them really is a new low for the scummy, cheating pricks.

Not forgetting the new concussion ruse.

Ralf the red first press conference on now. Every question he's answered it's all about control. He's seen how hopeless they are at possession and pressing. How he's going to implement his style to that squad is beyond me.

Also no other coaching staff will be leaving

How did that old **** Ferguson manage to find out we were talking to Ronaldo and stick his oar in? Why isn’t our transfer business confidential until a player actually signs?

imagine those goals for us instead of those shits, how much further down the league they’d be.

Perhaps because his snidey double dealing agent rang the rags ?

(alleged) Rapey Ronny and rag media wankathon have got them all giddy again.
VAR is a fücking joke. Magliar, hauls down a gunner in the box, nothing given. Fred falls over and VAR scream PENALTY.

Might as well just give them 4th now. I said it ages ago, they will NOT be allowed to finish outside top 5. The PL need their cash cow to be relevant.

Maguire is constantly at it, he gets away with it virtually every game, so glad we didn't spunk £80m, not for the fact he's a useless lump of shite, but for the amount of penalties we would undoubtedly have conceded.

And agree with you on the 4th place, the only reason it may not happen is if, over the remainder of the season, they can't find a minuscule reason to chalk something off for an opponent, or a minuscule reason to give them something, but I'm sure they'll find a way.

Be better if he compared himself to Eddie Howe or Ranieri

I can’t remember the fridge holding on to attackers when he held Leicester’s beer, but I might not have scrutinised their games as much.
But ever since the fridge was delivered to united, he’s been enveloping attackers in the box on set pieces with nary a card nor a penalty.

I've never seen a defender get away with so much grappling in the box week in week, week out.
As you say, if he played for any other club he'd be conceding penalties every single game.

The one on Iheanacho in the Leicester game a few weeks back was the most blatant I've ever seen, it was open play and Nach was about to jink past him in the area and he literally just held him in a bear hug for probably a couple seconds until the ball had been cleared.

imagine those goals for us instead of those shits, how much further down the league they’d be.

And imagine us not having a press and being forced to sit deep and service a static striker?

They’re calling him the professor !
I sincerely hope this all goes wrong ,comedy gold if so

It'll be just like the Blues Brothers getting back together.
