Hoping Onana plays against us this weekend. He is shockingly poor.

Arguably cost them both goals and the penalty shoot out too. How many did he get to that went straight through him?

Darthlaw

Wow. Just wow.

Darthlaw

In fairness I can see Fernandes missing the pen because of the ref. No one else would, but Fernandes has that personality to focus more on the ref bumping into him, rather than putting the ball in the back of the net. I'll never forget him asking to be taken off when United were getting tonked by Li...

This United keeper is like a deer in the headlights on every corner.

He's goalkeeping like me after a home match, when I've had about 8 pints. It's hilarious.

Darthlaw

I have to be honest, I thought they'd find a way for us to be the first club to be penalised for holding at corners. Unlucky, Fulham. Not sure how different it was to the Arsenal player who had Mount's shirt over his head last week, to score against United. Big clubs getting the decisions, I suppose...

I guess the brand name 'slum' was already taken?

There will have to be a significant increase in fanzone customers to make up for the amount of money the 'enhancements' will be costing. Cricket club will no doubt be upset about this with the new additions to their pre match offerings. I'd assume they will hope more away fans will use it now to ke...

Darthlaw

'Exit via the gift shop' or in their case enter via the fan zone tactics from the yanks.

Simple response, don't spend any money that you don't have to with the club. No merch, no food, no ale.

Owners like these only understand one language and when they see the revenues drop, they'll have a rethink.

The difference was I suppose that it was all done without any statements from club or player but I do know Shackell refused to play in pre-season so effectively went on strike.

Last I can think of is Kyle Lafferty slating the fans? Wasn't a 'I want to leave' but near as dammit.

Darthlaw

I thought we'd made a cheeky bid when I saw this thread surface. This let him rot in the reserves idea - should we have done that with Shackell or the collection of players a year ago? They may have downed tools behind closed doors, but I don't think there were any instances of effectively going on...

Darthlaw

I'd be for him spending a year in the reserves, but isn't there some rule that a player has to play a % of the games or else they can trigger some release?

Darthlaw

Mad one I saw this summer was the number of folk with their phones IN the swimming pools, in some sort of waterproof 'jiffy bag' tied round their necks with a bit of rope.

We truly have reached the point where people can't even go swimming without being hooked on their socials.

Late announcement to coincide with the scary as F… original Aliens scene?

Darthlaw

I've no problem with this.

Come here, play out of your skin, keep us in the PL and earn a move to a bigger club. We make profit on you and will not stand in your way when an acceptable offer arrives.

Should be exactly what we're aiming for from our younger players.

Think the taxpayer funded element is the new station (where the old station is) and the works to move the freight terminal to St Helens or wherever it’s going. Think this is the land United will build the new stadium, so their problem. Surely if its the freight terminal move (Freightliner being the...

Darthlaw

Arent Man U funding the stadium and asking the local government (taxpayer) to fund the rest of the development? Sounds like the current landowners are trying to take the **** out of the taxpayer to me.

I’ve seen a runner employed on tv this year. I’m not certain but I think it was Livingstone for Lancs.

Livingstone definitely had a runner in the T20 this year, as I was there. Must be an international thing.

That said, I only think we'd have got another 4 runs, had Woakes had a runner.

Darthlaw

Umpires caught up in the hype. That was so far leg it was ridiculous.

Look at non direct flights for a start. By connecting somewhere in between, you can save up to 40% on your flight costs during school holidays. Another is to get your hire car from somewhere not on the airport. This year I got offered something like a ford focus size for £800 from the airport, alter...

He'd had a sensational season in the Championship, whatever you thought of him and deserved an opportunity. VK clearly agreed and eventually gave him that chance. VK 'clearly' agreed that much, that he sought a replacement No.1 at the earliest opportunity and waited for 75% of the season to have go...

Darthlaw

we could all see that the treatment of Muric was unfair and it's that which is what was causing the huge divide. Apart from VK and the coaching staff? They clearly saw enough to want to replace Muric as No.1 fairly early into the transfer window. Maybe they saw, in training, the type of performance...

Don't really want to contribute to this further but this is not really true. The incidents related to Incel are quite small and relatively few individuals are involved. The real issue with Incel is that when individuals are referred to PREVENT they are escalated meaning there is some justification ...

He sets the standard. Unfortunately the standard is petulance, moaning, going to ground easily, and throwing your arms in the air. This. Coupled with the petulance Garnacho has shown, Rashford too whilst he was there Man U need a clear out of the rotten apples they've put together. I can't see Amor...

Darthlaw

Downside could be that he's become a bit of a womaniser (though still respectful) but in late teens/early 20s I think most lads fell into that category. Sadly the statistics suggest otherwise, which is where the real deep 'red pill' and incel stuff takes hold. Fair play to your nephew though for us...

Like myself, it maybe that many posting on here have never seen or followed any of the vile stuff that he posts online Not in any way a defense of the tosspot that is Tate, but I think it’s interesting to consider something you’ve never seen or followed as ‘vile’. Would it not be better to see his ...

Darthlaw

Pointless booting Amorim as realistically there’s only two players who he chose in the side. Man U have been on a steady decline in front of goal since the Van Gaal days and still haven’t managed to recruit a forward who puts the ball in the back of the net. Can’t see him lasting past the end of Sep...

One thing I don’t think I have mentioned before that I’ll throw out as an off the wall tip.

Darthlaw

Done.

Interesting questions!

Darthlaw

On sensible wages I'd have him back in a heartbeat.

Darthlaw

Is it worth the risk though? How many million does it cost to replace him? And can anyone replicate his return at the minute? It’s a tough task to find somebody that steps into his shoes. Undoubtedly his return this season suggests big shoes to fill for any potential replacement. For me, it's worth...

As we’ve seen with KDB, you go from world class to being a passenger very quickly around that age.

Which makes it strange to give him his bumper pay day, to me. If he keeps it up, fair play mind.

Darthlaw

Bold prediction here, but I think this will be the start of the waning of his abilities.

Form only, obviously, but seems to have gone off the boil since April.

The Estonia entry was class.

For some reason they just decided to take the **** out of the Italians with a novelty act highlighting Italian slang.

Best of all the Italians gave it 10 points.

Everything else just boring, including the winner being yet another ‘let’s sing a ballad on helium’ entry.

Isn't the first English player to be lured by Chelski money and won't be the last, although at least he'll get some first team football in their development side. Unfortunately this is the tough part of trying to convince young players of long term benefit vs short term gains. He could have 1 decent...

Go a bit further past Clitheroe down the A59 and have a look in Shackletons.

Amazing sofas, well made and have outlasted others we've bought in the past from the likes of sofology and the like.

Downside is they only offer 12 months 0% finance, as opposed to others who do 3&4 years 0%.

Just as Muric looked a world beater in the Championship, Trafford has looked the same, the main difference being the solid defensive partnership in front of him. Equally, in the PL, Trafford looked highly suspect with an ever changing defence in front of him (whilst also opening against 7/8 of the t...

Had a Tesla model3 LR from 2020 - November last year. Loved the car and never had any mechanical issues in the 70k miles I did in it.
