That didn't look like turning a corner to me.

They turned loads of corners. With the ball. Looking for someone to pass to.

While City celebrate the De Bruyne to Haaland combination Utd have Maguire to Rashford

If the ref had a good view of that I think the utd player would have been in trouble

VAR had a good view of the handball ‘goal’ and nothing happened, in fact they instantly edited it out of all replays under the pretence of checking for possible offside.

Well they wanted a consultant and while the inventor of German football turned out to be a subpar coach, he did fulfill his consultant mandate. They just didn't like what they heard I guess, but if they were just going to completely ignore him anyway for doing what they paid him to do (an "outside opinion" on what's wrong with the team) it's mystifying.

I think the narrative is different. They wanted to sack a “legend” without it looking like they fucked up, yet again. How many sacked managers get a 15 minute interview video saying goodbye? Wreck It was literally nothing but a figurehead from beginning to end which the Glazers knew — the “consulting fee” was a “pay me to save your face” fee. Their desperate, hopeless idiot fucking fans didn’t know however. Nor did the grizzled dildo sycophants in the media who are just as dumb as those fans. Except for the cynical, crafty portion of the media who knew by bigging him up they could exploit rag fan stupidity.

Dozens of people here said this the day he was hired (including me). They/we were right. Again.

Gashtastic!

Millions turned up before their match today to voice their concerns that the Glazers are not spending another 2 billion to finish 4th.

There's more letters on that banner than rags behind it.

I was in the pub when that happened and there was no sound on the TV. What was the justification for allowing that? It only hit his upper arm?
