    Gary is bang on. Those Italian sides were 100% juicing. That Barca side under pep were fucking million percent on the juice or blood bags. I even think that Liverpool side a couple of years ago were doing something dodgy, the asthma thing needs looking into. I don’t think it’s illegal though so they found a loophole but I’ve come across so many unnatural teams over the years. 

    Absolute load of shite.

    Sometimes teams are just really fucking good. 

  2. I just don't know if binning him off is actually going to change anything substantial though.

    These players, while a lot of them talented are used to years and years of mediocrity and poor standards - they know the buck always stops at the manager and so many average players have been there for so long, there doesn't seem like there is much jeopardy for their place in the squad. 

    I don't doubt that you could play better than you are but the core is fairly rotten and I'm not sure these group of players will ever get you to where Man United should be, no matter who the manager is.

    I really am lost for words on this manager - he is utterly clueless at judging games. 

    What the fuck was that corner when you were 3-2 up? just keep it short and retain possession instead of slinging it in and getting done with ease on the counter. Was actually lost for words when watching it at the pub last night. 

    What a last 30 mins though, what the Prem is all about.

    My knowledge of basketball is limited but I reckon the red sea put up more of a fight against Moses than anybody did against Lebron in this video.

    He ran in a straight line and some dude kinda ran next to him while the guy in front didn't even make a challenge...

    West Ham have become a bit of a nightmare to play against tbh. JWP, Paqueta, Kudus and Bowen have been fucking sensational. Probably the 4 most inform players in the league atm. 
     

    What’s happening with Cornet? @Low Value Boy always thought he was a good player and though he was excellent at Burnley. He must not be doing it in training?

    Yeah those four have been great. Alvarez has come in and done great as well and even Soucek has upped his game this season. Fact our first choice centre back pairing was out last night and Mavropanos and Ogbonna came in and did a job shows we have good strength in depth as well.

    Cornet just hasn't really got going, he got some super rare injury just after signing and missed a lot of last season and not been able to really make a push for the starting 11 as we've got a lot of quality in his positions. I think he might end up being sold.

    The mental thing is if he was going to sign ex players then why didn’t he sign kudus ffs. He’s ten times the player Antony is for half the price. Ineos can’t come in sooner ffs, hopefully we can get some footballing people in the club but that’s also fucking dragging out. I hate the glazer rats. 

    63 apps 8 goals vs 22 apps 10 goals

    Fairly damning that even though I appreciate football isn't all about stats

    Since when did Kane need chances created for him? - he constantly makes goals out of nothing (like the other night).

    He was desperate to come - he would have waited until next year to join for free - but Ten Hag chose Hojlund. 

    I don't think Antony is garbage - usual overreaction as always, the reality is - most players would fail in this team because the manager hasn't created a system, style or chemistry. 

    I mean he can create stuff out of nothing better than most but like all strikers he still needs some form of service to get anywhere near the numbers he gets.

    Do we have any evidence Kane was desperate to join? Other than just paper talk? Bet he's fucking glad he didn't, staying at Spurs would have proven to have been a better option in all honesty.

    Antony being shite is not an overreaction, he cost £85-90m and has to have more impact on games even if the team is disjointed. He is predictable, doesn't score, doesn't create chances for others - when he ends up in good positions he does nothing with it. Also just seems like a bit of a bag egg on a human/personal level. I support West Ham and wouldn't want him anywhere near our starting 11, just not good enough.

    i mean fuck those two... we could have got Harry Fucking Kane! 

    What would have been the point, you don't create chances for your striker?

    I don't think he'd have come to you in all honesty, wanted to win silverware and wouldn't be really any closer to winning a major trophy with you than he would have been with Spurs.

    Either way, not really the point I was trying to make...Antony is absolute garbage and the fact he cost that much money is insane.

    Antony is the worst signing in the history of the sport 

    Absolute shite, scored a couple nice goals last season but never been impressed with him in a Man United shirt.

    When you factor the amount of money he cost, he's probably one of the worst Premier League signings of all time.

    Very interesting...  

    I was reading a thread from a guy on reddit who said the PGMOL want to keep VAR in house - because its a semi-retirement home for current ref's. Essentially, It will keep them employed long after they are done officiating. 

    I'd be open to trying to outsource it and see what happens - maybe a bit of competition will give them a kick up the arse.  

    I don't buy into the conspiracy theories that people spread about refs being against their team, any trends are purely coincidental to me - of course teams were poor disciplined and whiny players are going to get booked for dissent more. Refs are just generally incompetent though unfortunately. Michael Oliver is actually the best referee we have in all honesty, I think generally he is pretty good. Some of the others are truly horrendous though. 

    They all seem to a bald white bloke from up north these days, the lack of diversity is shocking and it's starting to show.

    Trouble is, in reality who would really want to be a ref these days? from grass roots right up to the very top level it's just abuse, abuse and more abuse. They are paid a decent wage but it's not life changing, I honestly thinking paying the top referees in the very top leagues a wage that is reflective of their importance to the smooth running of the game would be a good start, would likely attract a higher calibre of candidate as well.

    Agree it's just job for the boys though at the moment though, nothing will change until it is forced and that doesn't look like happening anytime soon because then most of them would be out of a job.

    We don't watch him close enough apparently 🙄 so maybe it never happened?

    Having a bad game doesn't make you a bad player though does it? 

    I'm also fairly certain that Scott rates Rice very highly, you're clinging onto him having one sub par game so hard - it's actually kind of cute.

    Live on the daily Rice report: pocketed by John McGinn! Like ah duck to water he said 😂

    Seem like you're more than happy to bring him up yourself when he has the occasional bad game though?

    Either way, I didn't see the game, was he actually pocketed? can anyone who actually watched the game (that isn't clueless) confirm?

    yeah its far easier than club football - Tuchel, Eddie Howe, Emery, Frank would be worthy imo. 

    Managers who take time to implement a philosophy who only get players for a few weeks a year - not so sure about that, also a lot of those younger managers would miss the day to day interaction of club football. 

    Dipped out for the Rice fanfare didn't you, ready to admit how wrong you were on that one yet?
