Man United's problems run much deeper than the current manager and managers since Ferguson left. The club is rotten.

Unstoppable and quite brilliant

taio

Anyway back to this season and some links for the last 26 hours… Not sure about that. It's well worth discussing, on a transfer thread that is clearly supposed to be about rumoured players only, which of our existing players will leave if we get relegated, especially in August after just three leag...

Went to Ram a couple of weeks ago. Very good. Crow Wood is very good too.

Got mine. What do you do if you have a 8 year old phone where the battery always dies before the game? Doubt Old Trafford will allow a charging pack brought in. I plan to print off my QR code but not sure if that is allowed? Turn my phone off before Saturday's game to preserve the battery, and then...

But what if you don't know which wallet someone uses?

The easiest thing to do is forward the email so they can download the relevant ticket themselves, making sure they download the correct one. Google Wallet doesn't allow sharing from the wallet itself.

Well in four lines of text, you've 'presumed' and 'imagined' which suggests to me you don't know.

Because Marseille signed him permanently and he has Champions League football to look forward to. There is another reason too why some clubs would steer away from him.

Hope that suits you better.

In this day and age where 'goal scorers' are at a premium, why isn't Mason Greenwood ever linked with anyone? Now that lad can finish, put him in our team and we stay in the division. Because Marseille signed him permanently and presumably he's happy there with Champions League football to look for...

I never mentioned over crowding...all I said was that was the only problem I saw It was much busier than normal. Don't think there will be a problem but I can't imagine people will fall like dominoes because of mobile phone use. If there are any problems it is much more likely it would be due to a ...

No, but not looking where they're going, tripping up, falling over then people falling over them might be, but in your rush to try and be funny you didn't think of that

I wasn't trying to be funny. The root cause of any overcrowding wouldn't be people using their mobile would it.

taio

Yes, the root cause of any overcrowding risk is people using their phone!

Why do people always use the word "soulless" when talking about certain grounds? What does that even mean? Only saw brief pictures today, but I bet there aren't many Everton fans pining for their old ground today. I have been going on the Turf since 1970 but would not miss it one bit if we moved to...

taio

I certainly wouldn't want a soulless new stadium at a different site for a whole range of reasons. It would be a terrible idea.

If the commentator was correct, the actual words from VAR were 'full control of the ball'.

That didn't happen.

The commentator I listened to said "John Brooks says the defender clearly has full possession of the ball AND is fouled from behind"

The 'fouled from behind' part being key.

taio

Clear push and the goal should've been disallowed

taio

All things can simultaneously be true. Of course we deserved it. But in the first half Sunderland seemed to control the game and had two very good chances. It's not lucky if the opposition fail to take their chances. Their manager talked about not being clinical in those two moments and needing to ...

taio

No. You’d do what Parker did last season. Start him in order to push back the opposition and panic them (remember most teams doubled up on him last season, they won’t this). He has never completed 90 minutes for us, so take him off after 65 and put either JBL or Hannibal on to shore things up, or t...

I would like to think so.

Just going by what was said.

I think what VAR said was the defender was in possession of the ball and fouled from behind

Because that's the VAR parameter.

I struggle to believe this is the case, surely. VAR parameters are determined by The Laws of the Game.

taio

I don't agree. That defender was never in control of that ball. and was mightily relieved when it was chalked off. He knew. He would have been in control of the ball had Foster not fouled him. Why does he need to be in control of the ball anyway, as Foster didn't touch the ball before making contac...

taio

Foster's goal was correctly disallowed unfortunately

All the club needed to do was consult affected supporters, particularly those with mobility problems, to get their views on how the club might mitigate their main concerns. I'm not impacted by the changes because of the stand I sit in, and so I didn't notice anything different yesterday but then aga...

Reading the 'Sunderland fans' thread, it seems we had away fans in plenty of different pubs, all safely enjoying themselves.

Saw plenty of Sunderland supporters in town pubs and it was all pleasant, as normal. It was how it should be.

taio

That's clearly an exaggeration and in the contect of JBL being available for £1.5m. But even so, at that point I don't recall anyone challenging that. He'd just been moved to the right after even Parker tired of giving him chances on left after 12 straight games there. At the time we signed him in ...

taio

Again, I wasn't criticising the performance at Spurs (which I felt was decent). I was criticising the recruitment and how it lined up with the system used at Spurs. A similar system was used vs Sunderland and guess what? I still don't think the recruitment is joined up with that system. We played w...

Sorry, a bit off topic I know but didn't want to start a new thread, but, how how do I download a digital ticket for Saturday?

Thank you, do they advise and take a commission off you pal ?

The ones I was referring to are passive funds, so charges are low. This might help you:

Some fans would be happy to see us drift back to league 2 with 7000 fans on the turf.

I don't know a single Burnley supporter who'd want this. How many have you come across who'd want that, or were you referring to fans of other clubs?

taio

If you're a beginner and wanting to keep things simple and diversify lots, probably best to look something like Vanguard Lifestrategy, Fidelity or AJ Bell. You can then choose your risk appetite in terms of the mix between equities and bonds, depending how long you intend to invest for.

If they want to get rid of timewasting then good for them, but given Spurs were awarded a corner and their player spent longer than 8 seconds stood over it before taking it I'm not too sure what this rule actually achieves I suppose, in comparison to a corner, it's a recognition that the goalkeeper...

In favour of it so as long as it's applied rigorously, which is doubtful.

Parker hasn't said a word about this apparent blatant penalty in the two interviews I've seen (kindly posted by Vegas).

I don’t know how you’re still missing the point, I don’t care that Brownhill has gone but he needs replacing. Where is that replacement? Ekdal is not a new signing. The point is that you've slagged Brownhill, along with other players, countless times, so you ought to be less bothered about his repl...

It’s not the fact they’ve left that’s irritating, it’s the lack of replacements.

Give the new signings time, and recognise the difference in level - you had no time for Brownhill in the Premier League.

taio

I’m sorry but you can’t get promoted, lose 3 of your best players including your club captain and top goalscorer, the other 2 being your GK and centre half part of a record breaking defensive unit. the foundation it was all built on has gone and where are the replacements?
