Does ten hag have a brace or something on his bottom teeth?

Struggle to understand Neville’s point that the Glazers are spending the clubs money rather than their own and this is a bad thing

Isn’t that the whole point of the FFP they pushed for?

Also if they own the club isn’t it their money?

It was not Eriksen's fault.

When Ederson plays that pass to Rodri or Bernardo coming back towards our goal, he plays it at a decent pace so they can take it in stride and slightly to one side of them so their first touch puts their body between them and the person pressing them.

That second point is something Delph and Kompany talked about in the press in our first season under Pep, you as the passer can see the person behind them, they can't, so you have to play the pass in a way that helps them get out of trouble.

De Gea just blasted it to Eriksen's feet, so it took every bit of skill he had just to kill it, and that left him vulnerable to getting robbed.

Wouldn’t say he blasted it but I take your point.

We all remember " Not in my lifetime"

We all remember "The banner"

We all remember the sh*t we had to put up with growing up, if you were of a certain age..

However, what we need to acknowledge in the here and now is that WE, City are fkin brilliant and are top of the league and THEY, the rags are fkin BOTTOM of the league and are already looking fcuked..!


Enjoy your summer Blues..!

Neville says the first thing that comes into his head, and his stock one-liners regarding ‘taking money out of the club’ just confuse the argument and miss the point.

The Glazers could have chosen to invest in the stadium and training ground but haven’t, whereas investing in the team is obviously problematic under FFP. Neville fails to make the distinction, which actually leads to other pundits defending the Glazers in terms of the amount spent on transfers over the past decade.

You know, no team has an entitlement to permanent success, genuine Man U fans should get some humility and stick with their team through thick and thin, like the rest of us

I’ve just had an orgasm.

Too much information!

Sky have told Neville to wind it in

How do you know they have said that

The problem at United is not the money (they have the biggest net spend in Europe over the last 10 years) but the way it's being run.

Neville knows this, but the people running it are his friends, like Fletcher, Murtough, Arnold, Gill etc.

So he has to aim above them at the Glazers.
