Think it’s safe to say sancho seems to have been a flop and if he carries on surely he doesn’t get selected for the England squad!

He looks a shadow of his dortmund self where he was so electric! Feel sorry for the lad

Don't worry, the 90 million or so he'll pick up in wages over the five years of his current contract will soften the blow.

I’ve longed said that de gea is absolutely shit, good at camera scars and making things look harder than they were with a media all to eager to sell his ability.

always happy to be vindicated!

Tbf to him, he is a good shot stopper, or a lucky shot stopper, which is the same thing I suppose, but he is never going to be able to play out from the back. Madness expecting him to. He should have been the first one out. But what is he on? 350k a week.

 

[Stoned Rose]

Rumours the rags are in for another commanding centre back to push them up the table to the dizzying heights of 19th.

 

[Vienna_70]

Just shows you how good Rodri, Fernandinho, gundogan etc are playing out from the back receiving a ball from the goalkeeper with their back to goal when you see Eriksen trying to do it today

Because Dave and Ilkay were bought by a manager, who demands that ability in any player he acquires, and Dinho was Dinho.

I’d assumed the Glazers don’t choose the transfer targets though.

No but they hired the people who do. Any business failing as dramatically as this, must look at the owners.

As they say, a fish rots from the head.

But who appointed the people making the stupid footballing decisions?

The Fans protested when they had come 2nd & were in the top 4 consistently. The fans have driven them from being the second or third best team in the country to a panic ridden basket case because it’s their right to be number 1.
Mainly because the thought of being behind likkle City is too much so it’s not really the glazers but a joint effort of City & the Rag fans.

 

[J.G.Blue.]

Hardly a peep from the rags in work today apart from one who messaged me to say he's done with football until The Glazers leave.

What a bunch of self entitled fanny wipes they truly are

I am self employed in Shropshire & have worked for a couple of different rags over the years, when we were shit & they were winning everything they never shut up about football but amazingly enough over the years they seem to have lost interest? they both went through the different stages, "citys new owners will get bored" "now we have got mourinio/that fat dutch bloke/that little norweigian dwarf etc back we will dominate again".
its been really funny over the years to watch them lose interest in football as it slowly dawned on them just how good we were getting,
They got a bit giddy when Ronaldo re-appeared at utd & fully expected to be back at the top but this season they have tried to stop talking about football altogether, "its not like it used to be" money has ruined the game" etc etc,
Needless to say neither has been to old trafford more than a couple of times about 40 years ago, in fact one of them has never seen a game his mrs took him for a stadium tour & to spend his money in the shop,
I have always loved to talk about football even when we were shit but when I am working for either of these two clowns now I never Fu#ing shut up about football!

Apologies if that comes across as "size-ist"

The Rags have been called in today on their day off. The players they have will be throwing the toys out of the pram having to go in.

Is that the Butcher of Amsterdam ?

Plays like that’s his real trade not a footballer

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I’d assumed the Glazers don’t choose the transfer targets though.

They pick the people that do, have oversight of the corporate structure of the club and allow Ferguson to carry on stinking the place up. Throwing money at players doesn’t make them any less incompetent- in fact given the money they’ve wasted, it makes them more so.

 

[itsnevereasy]

Who is this fucking cockney rag on sky sports news… fuck off!

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

But who appointed the people making the stupid footballing decisions?

How anyone can conclude anything other than this family simply haven’t got a clue what they are doing is completely beyond me.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Apparently in for extra training today.

Talk about no fucking idea, played a game 24 hours ago (I know they just walked about a bit) in a heatwave. Supposed to cool down tomorrow and don't play again until a week in Monday so let's get them in while it's boiling again.


No. Fucking. Idea.

SCUM

 

[Mr Fraser]

I can except Neville is employed by sky as a football pundit.

What I dont except is sky giving him a platform to discuss the way the rags are run. He is basically encouraging the rags fans to demonstrate from the sky platform. That should be stop.

I think sky got abit nervous about what Neville was saying that's why he had to say rags shouldnt be going round to people's houses etc.

I think Neville should step down as a pundit and start his own consortium to buy the rags, as he clearly knows better than the Glazer's

I think part of what neville is doing is encouraging supporter discontent and trying to force glazers out clearing the path for Peter lim (& himself)
