Let’s just hope we don’t make a pig’s ear of it.

Quite some stat from the Beeb... "Four of the past five 90th-minute winning goals in the Premier League by players aged 18 or younger have been for United: Federico Macheda in 2009, Marcus Rashford in 2016, Alejandro Garnacho in 2022 and now Mainoo."


Mainoo has started really well.

To come in at 18, play in arguably the most demanding role in the team and make the role his, is impressive.

It would've been very easy for Ten Haag to play the Brazilian fella and put Mainoo in sporadically.

He's very relaxed on the ball and plays that role well for a kid. I really like him.

And, an academy that has another, only around four miles away, that, over the last decade has built a reputation for producing some of the best young footballers in Europe.

But you wouldn't know that if you relied on the good old British media for your information. They just will not have a negative word said against either the rags or the dippers.
It's been open season on us since the takeover all those years ago, and yet despite all the evidence we are still the evil, corrupt, villains of the piece: funded by dirty oil money wrapped up in brown paper packages being handed surreptitiously to pgmol and their ilk.

I was watching the highlights package of Mainoo on sky last night and all it seemed to be was doing a little trick beating a couple of players and then it cut away before he presumably gave it away or it went out of play oh and one clearance off the line. Hardly setting the game alight but I do think he is a prospect at the right club bit like Macheda and Janujaz turned out to be :-)

Re: Some background for Plastic Ratty's stadium plans...

Taxpayers are on the hook for billions of dollars worth of new sports arenas as 2023 yields one new project every month

“Our preference is to keep the franchises where they are,” MLB CFO Bob Starkey says. “But ultimately, we’re not going to do anything that’s short-sighted.”

Come on, the rags must be wumming us with these leaks about appointing Southgate, even they're not that stupid. If it is true we'd get a decent fee for Phillips off him as an additional bonus!

What's all the fuss about mainoo being called up to England squad?

Rico Lewis was in the England squad earlier in the year and I don't remember all the jizzing about that

And he was man of the match!

You're wasted in here sometimes. ;)

Mainoo could play for Ghana.
They want him to play for Ghana.
Then only reason he has been called up and will probably get a few minutes at the end of the game is to tie him to England.
