[Sir peace frog]

Some of us FOCs will remember Gary Birtles flopping like fuck there after playing for Forest, but OMG this new Haaland kid hasn't scored a Premier league goal yet for £72m and it's almost christmas.
The world as turned soft

i actually forgot about him, has he been playing ?

Think he's retired now.
Oh you mean the £72m Haaland

 

[Gazza]

Mate just sent this, could be bullshit.

Brentford got him sacked - that 4-0 defeat made him abandon his whole playing from the back philosophy overnight and try to go to a safer style that he'd never played before or was competent of coaching.

i havent seen any style of play or anything to suggest hes competent of coaching anyone, there isnt a single player who he has made better or is doing anything different now than they were before he came.

Not since Brentford certainly.

His defenders are pleading lack of service.
There was a time when in trouble Himalayan explorers, Pacific Ocean sailors, plane crash victims lost in the jungle, would all ask, when rescued: “ Has Birtles scored yet?”

Rasmus Birtles could you imagine the hatchet job the press would do if anybody else paid £72 million with a 0 return in the premier league …

The strange thing is that his goal scoring ratio before he joined the rags was about 1 in 9.
The poor lad as regressed since joining the biggest bestest club in the world.
Maybe he hasn't got the utd DNA after all.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

No rag striker has scored a premier league goal at the swamp this season.

And their top scorer in the league is McTominay with 5

That's just mental

I think the rags (and Spurs) stifled the previously prolific Alan Brazil's career too.
