I'm going to test this issue of a 20mph speed limit taking so much longer on my way home from work later. Waze says it should take 14 minutes. I will not go above 20mph in the 30mph zones and see how long it takes me In an entirely unexpected/unbelievable/predictable turn of events.... It took me e...

If this wasn't such an important issue, reading this thread would be hilarious

A perfect example of why charlatans are sick of experts

Admittedly this is very rudimentary, but if you accept we need 10 win and 10 draws, and split the table up to see where you get them from, we aren't too far behind par Interestingly, some of the other clubs are miles behind. Yes, it needs us to actually pick up those points, and we could lose 3 or 4...

Brownhill has to play to get the press onto Enzo Fernández. Otherwise he will just dictate at will And need some pace to counter Mudryk But otherwise I think its just about setting up to have some of the ball and get onto their back 4 I wouldn't be surprised if its the same XI as Luton Be interestin...

If its a tax issue, and they can afford to pay it, does that mean there's no chance of a points reduction?
Or does this case mean the FFP issue can be revisited later if it brings any new info to light?

This concerns me a little. Especially after the praise he got after Salford

Did Lyle Foster come off at Luton due to lack of match fitness as missed last three games?

He looked injured. Started hobbling at one point, and JRod was about to come on. Then managed to run it off. But started hobbling again 5 minutes later

I find it almost impossible to believe that they haven't broken the rules; and to quite a large extent too. The numbers speak for themselves The fact that the PL helped them resolve the issue, but with absolutely zero transparency just adds to this belief If the inquiry is properly independent, then...

The Riverside ones will be the normal Surge cans and not the nitro surge. A few pubs sell Surge. Surge works from the bottom of the glass. The nitro surge is different and for home use. Never tried the nitro surge but an Irish bloke on holiday this year told me about his and said it’s spot on! Turn...

Trafford 5 For the first time this season, I've decided Muric is a better bet. Trafford's distribution is not good enough Roberts 5 Gave the ball away so many times. And has done in a few recent games AAD 6 Beyer 7 Taylor 6 Cullen 7 Other than the clearance, completely anonymous 2nd half. But very g...

Had one at the Riverside last season. Not quite a proper pulled pint. But certainly better than a normal can. If you have enough Guinness at home, I'd say it's worth it

Decision Making: 12 Consistency: 7 Fitness and Positioning: 10 Control and Authority: 2 I thought he was really poor, and lucky that he wasn't in charge of a top of the table televised clash, with lots of incidents. Even in a game of relatively few big decisions, he seemed to get lots wrong. I thoug...

Roosterbooster

I know what you’re saying but there has got to be a reason he’s not getting close to the team. I honestly believe it’s got to be because of his output in the final third. I can’t think of any other reason But Koleosho has only 1 assist and 0 goals in 7 games In 7 league games last season, Zaroury w...

Roosterbooster

I'll give it a night's rest first before i score him. But that was absolutely appalling

Roosterbooster

I'd be amazed if AAD isn't playing to counter Ogbene's pace

Roberts AAD Beyer Taylor

Agreed, will be a sad day when grounds like Goodison and Kenilworth road no longer exist. The worst grounds to me are the Lego grounds on retail parks in the middle of nowhere. Agree Coventry and Hull spring to mind Much preferred the experiences of Hull's old ground, and real dust holes like Grims...

I wouldn't put it past us having a £100m player. But not in the current market. The prices will go up though, and in 2-3 years its possible. We have some young gems with real potential

Foster, Amdouni, Koleosho, Odobert, Zaroury, AAD...

I'd struggle to name our best XI right now. Still a few players who need bedding in / getting their fitness or form back. But it'd probably include:

AAD
Beyer
Ramsey
Zaroury
Amdouni
Tresor
Foster

Roosterbooster

I'm not sure we need 2 CBs alongside 2 FBs
Play Delcroix as both, get Cork to drop when needs be

I expect we will have about 80% of the ball

...................Muric
Vitinho ....O'Shae ...Delcroix
...........Cork ......Berge
Benson.... Zaroury .......JBL
.............JRod Odobert

I've seen the incident. And now the photos. And I saw the slow motion version too. The slower it is, the worse it looks. He went in to win the ball, and he didn't really go in dangerously. It ends up as a potential leg breaker through bad luck essentially. Football is a contact sport, and you can't ...

.........................Muric
Egan-Riley O'Shae Delcroix Vitinho
...............Massengo Cork
Benson ......Redmond ....Bruun-Larson

Subs to be used if possible:
Odobert
Zaroury
Berge
Ramsey
Tresor

plus Vigoroux, Amdouni, Al-Dakhil, Roberts

Roosterbooster

He was a potential threat. Looked dangerous when he had it. But hardly went looking for it, and did absolutely no pressing or tracking. But I think that's the story of Utd at the moment. Lots of potentially good players, relying on a bit of magic here and there, but very vulnerable to quite an array...

Roosterbooster

Best player on the park first half. Really enjoyed watching him

Roosterbooster

He was at the Etihad earlier in the day. So made sense to come to this

Might have not been looking at anyone in particular, although obviously Rashford will be in his thoughts. And Trafford and Ramsey are in the England youth setups

Roosterbooster

Didn't bother me in the slightest

Although I do see your point, Robbo

Far better than most at not giving free kicks when there was no foul.

Spot on. The assistant gave an invisible foul down in front of the Jimmy Mc. But I don't remember the ref doing it. Makes a nice change

Roosterbooster

Glad Ramsey is getting a few votes. I thought he was our best player first half

Trafford 7
Roberts 6
Al-Dakhil 9 Pretty much flawless as far as I remember

Koleosho 7
Amdouni 6

Tresor 6

I asked questions after spurs. He's answered them
We deserve to be on 4 points
I'm really disappointed with the last 2 results, but not the performances

I'd be happy if he reffed us every week
As long as he got new assistants- they were awful

Zaroury is still a beautiful footballer. We need to get him up to speed as IMO he’s the best we have! Last season I thought he was the obvious player who would be able to make the step up. He has such a good touch, is two footed, and seems to balance the decision making well (pressing, dribbling, p...

Roosterbooster

Utd there for the taking tomorrow. While I potentially agree, they still have quite a few players that can really hurt us. If we let them get going, it could be a long, long evening. If we really have a go at them, press well, handle their counter attacks, and keep turning them around, it could be ...

Quality, pretty poor
Entertainment, pretty good

I turned it on to see the score
Probably gonna watch through to the end

As there's no seating plan for the game you're just making this up! Unless you're psychic! Nope. You just type in the number of tickets you want. If it adds them to the basket, fine - there are at least that number of tickets available. If there aren't enough, it will say so. You could have just as...

Less than 30 tickets available

Just less than 60 left

Dubiously? That's possibly the most stone wall penalty I've seen in a while, despite the weird take by the commentators I thought it was incredibly harsh. He is trying ro move his hand out of the way. Fine if the ref gives it, don't overturn it. But I'm not entirely sure how he avoids it once his a...

City have been on a different level to Red Star. And are now losing despite having 22-1 shots, and missing at least 3 absolute sitters

Bizarre substitution just before it happened too. Bernardo Silva replaced by Doku on about 43 minutes. No obvious injury either

Roosterbooster

I'm not sure the argument of "ex-players" is the fix we are looking for. Too many times I've heard ex and current pros commentate on games and provide nothing more than an audible expression of idiocy. Some ex pros are excellent, and can clearly balance the evidence to provide a reasonable judgement...

Roosterbooster

He was pragmatic last season, playing Taylor, Roberts, Cork, Brownhill and Barnes as a spine in the first game despite so many new signings. This season we changed so many tactical things ealry doors, that it's no wonder we struggled. But he changed tactics last season at times to suit, and he's don...

Roosterbooster

Yep, he needs to play higher up the pitch. He isn't a DCM. Lots of potential, but not sure how he fits in our best XI

Cos the ball went nowhere near them so it didn't impact on the game

A completely irrelevant point as far as the rules of the game go

Roosterbooster

Better team over 90 minutes
Much more balance
Real game changers on the bench
Lots to be happy with

The worst referee I can remember, still being the worst referee I can remember
VAR confusing as ever

Lots to be apprehensive about
