So glad that we didn't bring Sancho back. he'd have brought nothing to us.
I don't know how we keep doing it, but, we've dodged loads of bullets lately.

Embarrassing that he brings out that shite celebration for a tap in against (18th)Burnley for 3-0. How the mighty have fallen.

What is a turnover? I've only heard used for rugby.

A turnover is when Burnley have the football and the rags win possession

Then Burnley win possession and united win it back

Then Burnley win possession and united win it back.

Then Burnley wi..... Well I think you can work out what happens in the next 87 minutes without me typing it out. That's how easy it is to break records I wish we could do that.

Just spoke to my mate who's an honest Red and went last night

His exact words.

Bar the goals, it was absolutely dire.

This happened in late summer, they got an easy start. Once they hit the corresponding fixtures that got Ole sacked the natives will be restless.

I think we discussed it on here, when the paperboy was sacked - the run of easier games made the decision for them. If there was a game against the big teams they would have backed off.

 

[Blue Mist]

Are they back again? Turned another corner?

As George Michael sang
Turn a different corner and we never would have met
Would you care ?
Cos I fuckin' wouldn't.

(I might have added the last line)

Cavani is another one for doing that, in fact all united players celebrate each and every goal as though they've just scored a 90th minute worldie to win the CL final, I honestly think they must be contractually obliged to do it for the benefit of the cameras.

Every time one of them scores even the simplest or scrappiest of tap ins they run around like deranged lunatics, screaming and leaping and punching the air or striking a pose like they're some form of supreme being to receive the adulation of the supporters.

I think the term for them is, cunts, pitfiful shit ones

Exactly, to have a lot of turnover, you've have to lose possession a lot, keep possession = no turnover.

I reckon he had little choice in the end

the window was nearly over, he was so far down the line with City by all accounts that most other bridges had probably been burned/other clubs off the table, and after they blew us out the water with the wage offer he probably had no other choice. Bet he’s gutted with it all.

Completely his fault and zero sympathy. Instead of being a money grabbing PR machine to generate as much cash for himself as possible, he could have joined city for a final 2 years in an illustrious career spanning 4 countries and gone out with a bang. He would have added another premier league title, potentially a couple of other trophies along the way too and been regarded as one of, if not the greatest player in the last 20 years to grace this league. What has happened due to joining United is the complete opposite. He won’t win a trophy, and most people don’t feel sorry for him. He made his bed, let him lie in it. Granted he is clearding £525,000 a week after the taxman so his bed will be a rather big one with pornstars feeling him grapes but tough shit.
