All that money spent and the strongest line-up they can muster contains a 32yo Eriksen and 36yo Evans.

 

[Gone for a Burton]

I thought it was 12 years

Historically they've been a mid table club.

City were a much bigger club for many years.

Without the plane crash, government money, Webb and City's benevolence they'd be the stretsal Charlton Athletic.

What the hell does Brailsford do ?

He sits there looking angry and menacing in a Mark Hughes kind of way and ultimately about as effective.

He reminds me of a young Harry Worth.

I thought Rashford was trying to get himself sent off.
It looked like he couldn't give a fuck, to do that second yellow (not given) straight after getting a yellow was strange.
The whole club stinks from top to bottom.
Scruffy Jim we are told is in charge of the football side yet he can't sack tent peg !. It's not his decision we are told lol.

Lol

Doesn't he arrange for secret jiffy bags with certain things in them that are top secret?

 

[TonyM]

How that wasn't a yellow is again a disgrace and how MOTD didn't call it out was a disgrace.

Seven games played, five goals scored. Red flag zone.

Three of those 5 goals scored against relegation doomed Southampton, so 2 goals in 6 games is the true stat ,spotty muldoon and the hair bear bunch, captain fishcake and the other "world class" players at old toilet sure do struggle to put the ball in the net don't they, Everton have picked up more points than united over the past dozen or so games.

I wonder if he's any good at that window trick

 

[East Level 2]

Funny after all the signings they start with Evans and Maguire in central defence. That shows the manager has no clear plan.

Not scoring against a defence including Evans and Maguire implies Villa had no clear plan.

 

[manclad]

there is no plan unless its double dutch

I remember 5 or 6 wins on the trot at Old Trafford and the next being a draw in the bell Lee Summerbee era.

Spends a lot of time hanging around the post room waiting for a delivery in jiffy bags I've heard.

How do you inhale, digest or inject football boots into your veins?

Didn't we have a higher points total until the mid 80's?

He looks like a Bond villain, I'm sure I saw a white cat on his knee during the Villa game.

 

[Protein Junkie]

It seems that the Senile Centre back JFE is now offering a new angle on the Rags mediocrity.
“All the talk about ETH is affecting the players”

WTF JFE? No your team is shite which led to the chatter and not the other way around.

Always reminds me of that John Christie guy from 10 Rillington Place

 

[jacko74]

According to Google united only actually had around 1000 employees in the UK, I'd assumed they had quite a lot more than that when I heard scruffy Jim had got rid of 250 staff.

To slash any workforce by 25% in one fell swoop is a very drastic action.

Unless there were some serious piss takers and deadwood behind the scenes they're surely going to suffer repercussions of such a major cut in the workforce.

He supplies the stimulants but unfortunately they only appear to work for cyclists.
