Surely you meant ambled or possibly traipsed?

My thoughts exactly.. Rick Holden was a very talented player.. had he broken into an amble more often when plying his trade down the left-wing, I think could have made it at international level..
 
I am on here as i am banned on the media thread, but yesterday i listened to Talk Sport, the only access to the match i had, the commentary was awful, when they stopped talking to themselves Lingard was great KDB could not pass and there were 3 goals, that might be right when i watch the match i will know, but during the match the regular commentator mentioned City`s treble saying utd`s is the real one so rather than taking the bait i thought which one is the better?
First off there are a few quirks no 1 the CL does have more prestige than the LC, utd played a preliminary game in the CL and they lost the Charity shield which we do not count as a cup but is a competitive game.
Secondary utd`s treble Champions League, League, and Cup has been done 8 times, the Champions League is invitational and not open to all, and i have not included liverpools 2 trebles .

So utd`s played 62 won 36 drew 22 lost 4 goals for 128 against 60 goal difference +68 points 79 overall win% 58%
City`s played 61 won 50 drew 5 lost 6 goals for 169 against 39 goal difference +130 points 98 overall win% 81%
The domestic Treble is open to vastly more competitors yet has only been accomplished once , in short City have won the Treble, utd and liverpool have won deviants,

So what is your reasoning Talk Sport

It's all good and I have no objection at all to avoiding walking through the badge because it's totally a personal choice.

But I also think we don't need to promote it as a behaviour that other people need to follow. My thought is, why do we have to walk around the badge to show our respect?
The badge is created right there on the walking way which is used to walk, so just walk through it. If walking through it shows disrespect, then why the club itself decide to create it on the walking way? It clearly shows that when the club decides to create badges that way, they don't consider walking through it is disrespectful, so just make our life easier by just do it that way.

And finally, by avoid walking through it, what're benefits do we bring to society, to the community, to people? I don't see any of it.

What a load of crap this 'expected goals' is. Unless I read it incorrectly, ours against West Ham was 0.50, theirs was 2.5something. How does a Dias free header and a Stones free shot not count as 2. And West Ham 2.5? Other than the goal they scored, they had a couple of half chances at best, blocked shot in the first half and a header in the end.

You are absolutely correct in terms of the overall balance and synchronicity.

I never thought I would see the day when it felt like we were shoehorning in Kev?

He's obviously not fit, but the gaps just aren't there when we play the line up you posted.

Even the second goal today came when Foden and Jesus pressed West Ham by the right left touchline.

Horses for courses, I suppose?

As I was reading through your post, My first thought was, 'Horses for Courses', so I'll agree. My finals thoughts are possibly KdB or Gundog, not both, in the starting XI
