Brilliant stuff, been to the theatre tonight so just catching up.

Not just tonight but I've seen nothing to suggest this keeper is good with his feet, he either lumps it forward or passes to an opponent and as for his shot stopping....I posted he'd be nowhere near no.1 for them by the end of the season as he's crap...he'll be lucky to still be in nets by the winter window.
 
I honestly think United's biggest problem is the power they give to certain players that aren't as good as what they're cracked up to be.

If I'm the manager walking in there, I'm getting shut of Rashford.

You can't have players like that sulking and strolling around like he's on the beach. His application and attitude is absolutely terrible.

If he walked around like that playing for Pep, it wouldn't be long until Pep completely binned him off.

There was one incident in the second half where Rashford was through on goal and all he had to do was roll it across the face of goal to a teammate for a tap in. He took far too long and passed the ball too short and at the wrong time. Then literally walked off like he genuinely wasn't even arsed that he'd wasted a golden opportunity for his teammate.

He just doesn't have what it takes. You just don't win titles with players like that.

Then you have Bruno who literally goes missing in almost every big game.

If these are the two players the Rags are counting on, they're never ever going to compete for titles. The whole squad needs an overhaul.

They need to be bringing in the right characters. The mentality and attitude in that dressing room is at an all time low. Embarrassing.
Rashford & Penandez are the 2 biggest problems there, Pep would fuck em both out the door.
 
I have some cousins who live in the USA. Two are presently visiting relatives in Manchester who support the Rags. One of the Americans posted a picture on her Facebook page smiling outside the Theatre of Dreams with a bag of goodies. She is supposedly visiting my younger sister in Scotland who is a crazy BLUE detesting the rags with a passion. I hope they don't come to blows when the blue takes the mickey out of the red.

Rules....
 
LOL they probably only bought Onana because he can sort of pass the ball which De Gea was not good at. They saw their two main rivals' goalkeepers had elite playmaking ability, and then figured "ball passers gut, darrr" and didn't even bother checking any of his other qualities.

Utter incompetence over there.

Unfortunately fake Haaland looks somewhat decent, even a stopped clock, etc.
 
Deep deep shit if they crash out of the CL then don't qualify for it.

Can't wait.

Unfortunately the leagues is probably top 5 getting in this season, they may luck in.

City, LFC, Arsenal, Spurs are nailed on for four spots--don't know that Villa, Brighton, West Ham or the Barcodes can hold of for an entire season. And even with Spurs, lots of hype now yes, but I'd like to see how they handle a rough patch.
 
First week in October and out of the premier league title race, possibly out of the champions league and hopefully back in the europa league. I can’t stop laughing at this club and the fans got a good pissing on from the roof.
 


I was watching a YouTube video from a former Citibank trader Gary Stevenson talking about economists in the media & their predictions being at comedic levels. He said if he was wrong he’d have lost his job, he was paid to be right & made millions whereas the media not only get it wrong every single time, they don’t even realise that they are wrong as their are no consequences.

Obviously you can substitute economics for football, politics & everything. Basically they are no better than graffiti taggers, they scrawl shit for people to read & then it disappears & more meaningless scribble appears again.

I highly recommend Gary Stevenson as a follow if you like the political finance guff.

Fake Haaland scored a goal that Rashford was scoring last season. Imagine a team leaving that much space for Erling to run behind.

I just realised I subscribe to him and he hasn't made a video for 3 months. But yeah, the other one is those financial gurus making predictions about which stocks to buy on US TV and on Youtube. Someone went back through their predictions from 2 years ago and found that if you'd followed their advice, you would have lost money. There's also the famous example of the cat that beat a good proportion of actively managed funds. And yet there they are, continuing to confidently make predictions as if they hadn't just lost everyone millions.
