Going to cost a lot of money to replace that, money which they clearly don’t have. Wonder what the transfer planning will be like now Rashford has decided he doesn’t fancy Villa as they don’t look nailed on for the Chanpions league? Can’t see any other takers in the Prem or elsewhere in Europe, wouldnt surprise me if he ended up back at the swamp.

Completely agree. That's why, I reckon, by hook or by crook, they will end up in the CL next season. Possibly the lowest placed side ever to do so.

Let's hope so. He's always going to be a middling talent with a high wage expectation and a crap attitude.

I wonder if they've realised that their best players are getting on a bit. Fernandes is only a month younger than Bernardo and without him they are fucked.

Maguire is only 2 years younger than Gundo. Okay, he's crap but he's the mainstay of their defence and their most dangerous attacker.

Casemiro is only 18 months younger than KDB and he's their best midfield player.

Lindelhof and Luke Shaw will be 31 and 30 respectively in the summer and Erikson is 33 going on 180.

Hopefully their elderly players will all have the same, simultaneous falling off the edge of a cliff drop in their performance levels that our older players have suffered from.

Makes me laugh when rags and pundits spout out about the loss of Amad Diallo for a long time.
OK he's scored a few high profile goals but he's just another example of how they get giddy at the least possible display of competency by a player.

Meanwhile, McTominay is firing Napoli to the top of the league. Tee-hee.

getting rid of Elanga and McTominay has to be the best business they've done in a long time, from our perspective at least

It's getting difficult to argue that there no bias referring regards the Rags.
Take the handball against Jack at Wembley against them. And the decision not to give us a handball yesterday. If Jack's was handball why wasn't that yesterday ?

Did they not change the handball rule after Jack's Wembley penalty decision against us.
Are we not playing to different rules from UEFA regarding handball rules.
If yesterdays handball was in the champions league a penalty would have been given.

I thought the forest player moved his arms towards the ball. Regardless of his arms being behind him

The casemiro one is insane. He runs like my grandad and he's been dead 15 years

The commentators mentioned his hands being behind his back, but failed to mention he wasn’t facing the ball he was side-on! In my opinion he knew exactly what he was doing

Nailed on imo , his hand prevented the ball from going in , clearest handball you will ever see , Im now at the point of not knowing the rules anymore

He certainly did.
The hands moved further backward into an unnatural and awkward position, with the clear intention to block the ball, iirc he was looking directly at the ball over his side-on shoulder.
I saw the replay once, and it was obvious.

To the agenda thread!

 

[dadnlad]

It was a great save as keeper nowhere near it

 

[waspish]

Any club we played if that handball happened to Dias they'll be all shouting handball and var would of give it in a heart beat! And why people in the var box get away with all this bias intervention is no two incidents are the same and we can't say well Man City didn't get that because not two incidents are identical! We will keep getting bias refereeing..

The other half won't know who Hilda Baker is

I might not be able to spell it, but she knows, you know!

You know the first rule though.

From The Mill:

Manchester United continue to be unbelievably, comically stingy under the leadership of Sir Jim Ratcliffe. Popbitch reports that charities linked to the club, who previously received free tickets to home matches, were informed via email on Wednesday that they would no longer be receiving any comped tickets. Ouch.

Even before Scruffy came along they were a disgusting club.
The walking disabled that require a support worker (SW) are entitled to buy one ticket (when offered) and one free to the SW. They sit behind the old scoreboard end.
Every single game you will see tourists in that section who have bought tickets from the club. After all, why give free ones to SW's ! when you can make £70.

Cheapskates.
