Seasons over and we're still losing?.
1.) 28 May 2025 18:24:08
Just read that ?.
2.) 28 May 2025 19:18:22
Least we are consistent ?.
19 May 2025 18:49:17
I hope this time next year we aren't loaning Cunha to the Portuguese league?.

I watched a few games over the weekend and I didn't enjoy any of them, including utd. I think it's finally happened, my long term relationship with football is ending.
1.) 21 Oct 2024 16:33:14
I enjoyed our game, at least the second half when we played some nice football against a poor defense.
For me, watching City, is a chore when they're playing inferior opposition. They are relentless. It's the same pattern again and again, and their superior ball handling abilities and positioning allow them to trap their opponents in their own half. It's admirable but it's hardly exciting to anyone who doesn't support them. It's just dogged defense for virtually 90 minutes. Yawn. All you hope for is that the opposition can somehow hold out which they can rarely do.
I think it's going to be interesting to watch what happens to the EPL in the future. My feeling is that it's peaked, witnessed by a general decline in the value of transfer activity. With all that's going on in the world, it's getting harder to put football at the top of ones list of important things, especially when the owners of these clubs are generally so unsavory. I'm definitely watching fewer games overall.

I think it's oversaturation shaw. It's too much now. Every ex footballer with a podcast, ex refs reviews, endless pundits. The same discussions again and again. And I always preferred football where wingers/ full backs ran and took on players. It's happening less now, probably because they will be crucified if it doesn't come off. Anyway, football is more popular than ever, so it's just the opinion of this old fella.
3.) 21 Oct 2024 17:27:52
I love watching city and love the way they play Shaw.
Fantastic technical ability and patterns and they all can manipulate the ball and the space so well that it's hard for the opposition to get on the ball.
Their work rate and ability to regain possession and force the opposition into turning the ball over again is second to none. If that bores you then fine but ones mans thrash is another man's gold
I bet you liked watching united dominate for 20 years. But guess what city fans thought we were boring then as did every other neutral.
Banjoe I take your point and agree with the over saturated state of the market. I don't watch much if any of the pre and post match stuff and don't follow any football on any of the social media channels as most of it is pure nonsense imo.
Even post match now is mainly about refs decisions which infuriates me.
Football fans are unique and more tribal than in practically any other sport. Fans are incapable of sitting alongside opposition without wanting to punch them. It's pathetic.
{Ed025's Note - im with Shaw Ken, passing for the sake of it bores me to tears mate, i thought the same about Barcelona actually, United in their pomp played with cut and trust and that was more attractive to me..
4.) 21 Oct 2024 18:36:04
I really like and admire it Billy. As I said one man's thrash is another man's gold.
I played to a decent level but their tecch ability and ball manipulation is off the charts imo.
I'd rather watch that style than United in their pomp.
5.) 21 Oct 2024 21:48:45
I admire City but I don't love watching them. Klopps Liverpool on the other hand were just brilliant fun. Amd as much as it pains me to say they were the best team to watch in the last decade in the EPL. I also really like the guy, it should not be like this as a United fan.
I promise you this though, once I have invented the time machine and bought United before the Glazers get a hold of it, Klopp is replacing Fergie.
6.) 22 Oct 2024 21:16:15
Hell no i'd never watch city compared to the way united used to play. Ken your deluded to think citys way is more attractive. They bunch of cheaters and boring as anything to watch.
7.) 22 Oct 2024 21:18:49
Im with oakboark as well liverpoola style was way better to wqtch then the way city play.
Klopps a way better manager then that sacrcastic looking Guardiola.
Everytime he does his presentations he comes across so rude and arrogant and extremely sarcastic!
He thinks he's the best ever but he ain't even in the top 5 coaches of all time.
Recently he waas saying Fergies is the best ever and even then he was saying it in a very sarcastic manner.
I can't stand him!
8.) 22 Oct 2024 22:35:30
Watching City is like death by a thousand cuts. Pep maybe the hest manager around, but his brand of football doesn't really get you off your seat.
On the plus side I do spend more time watching my local NPL West team since United's declined. Football is rubbish but very entertaining to watch.
9.) 22 Oct 2024 23:45:44
City bore me to tears, the whole thing is soulless and the passing teams to death is boring, I don’t enjoy watching the way they play. Good games of football are between 2 good teams both going at each other not one keeping the ball and not letting the other team have a touch, just isn’t for me and it annoys me that we try and play this boring possession game at times too. Everyone obsessed with passing out from the back, defenders passing goal kicks backwards to the goalkeeper, just all bores me.
I thought the same about Barcelona as well Ed25, I’m looking forward to Pep going as I think it will open up the league a bit and the top teams will have some good games and be challenging each other properly.
{Ed025's Note - absolutely GDS, its the same with the national sides as well who bore us to tears with passing to death when our strong suit is high tempo full in your face football, give me Fergie/Klopp style football that gets you off your seat any day mate..

Any truth that Erikson could join Anderlecht on a free?
1.) 02 Sep 2024 23:19:47
The press reckons that he will stay until January as cover for Mount injury. Who knows? I certainly don’t!
2.) 03 Sep 2024 12:20:47
Better he left.
I do not think we are making top 4 again anyway.
07 May 2024 07:48:49
I'm not saying he should be sacked but does anyone seriously know how the training is conducted. I mean he wants to play a system but hasn't had players available to him to play it, so what does training look like. Is he training a system with players who can't play it hoping it will click and then the injured slotting back in when available. Its just that his "preferred" players have been out a long time now so how do they train for this system with players that clearly don't get it or can't play it.
1.) 07 May 2024 09:52:48
Banjoe it didn't matter whether people want him sacked or not.
Eth will not be here next season. He knows it and he has for some time.
2.) 07 May 2024 09:54:09
He should get the sack Banjoe. The dross that’s being served up week in week out is indefensible. The players have downed tools, no doubt about that. The injury list is like nothing we’ve seen in a long time but ultimately it comes down to the coaches and how the team is set up.
Up until last night I thought Ten Hag might just escape the boot by the skin of his teeth but last night was the final straw for me.
3.) 07 May 2024 10:11:35
Who's told him that ken? How does he know?
4.) 07 May 2024 10:16:38
The players haven't downed tools they don't have the tools in the first place.
5.) 07 May 2024 10:29:50
They have a tool of a manager?.
6.) 07 May 2024 10:36:28
Last night was Watford all over again. If INEOS and SJR are serious about getting this club moving forward, I personally feel like they need to come out with a statement on the manager now, he stays or he leaves. Don't see how all the uncertainty is helping.
7.) 07 May 2024 10:49:15
Ports they can't at this time. Just need to be patient.
8.) 07 May 2024 11:17:16
Why can’t they Ken? Finances?
9.) 07 May 2024 11:28:50
Yeah, I’m not sure why they can’t? Bayern did with Tuchel?
10.) 07 May 2024 11:30:34
Would they sack a manager before a cup final? If that's the route they go down it will be after the final whistle, van Gaal style.
Anyone else spit their drink out when Carragher suggested bringing in Ole for the final three games?
11.) 07 May 2024 11:35:18
Yes Tim that's a large part of the reason I'm sure.
I'm not privy to his contact details but a new financial year starts 1st July they can't take the financial hit on this year's books due to psr.
4 games to go. It's not too long to wait.
12.) 07 May 2024 12:05:24
Feels like an eternity. It’s going to a painful 4 games I’m sure.
13.) 07 May 2024 18:17:05
Just as I thought ken ? ?.
03 Jun 2025 16:59:20
I'm not a fan of Sancho but "greed and delusion" does not come into it. Utd gave him that wage and that contract and why would he take less. He has also had a disagreement with the club so why would he make things easy for them.
19 Aug 2024 09:54:44
Welbeck would be great around the place, ports but like quite a few other ex players, he was hurt with the way he felt united treated him. I doubt he would come back.
26 Jun 2024 05:53:09
Morata doesn't want to live in England.
12 Jun 2024 17:05:25
To be fair weed, I'd say the review would have been a lot harder on him had he not won the fa cup. I'm glad he's staying but I don't want any whinging about injuries or anything else next season.
16 Jun 2025 20:30:41
Football is played professionally all over the world, most countries are obsessed with it but every transfer window it's the same players mentioned again and again.
14 Jun 2025 07:38:47
I would rather we stick with what we have than buy Oshiman. I'm not sure he has that "one for all" team attitude that Amorim wants.
28 May 2025 21:02:20
Dead right GDS2, and they were ALL STARS, we never stood a chance??.
28 May 2025 06:17:02
We have no links to him but I think Schade from Brentford had a great season. Only 23 around 25 million value and will definitely improve.
26 May 2025 12:33:42
Yeah but maybe villa should worry more about their goalkeepers shoulder charge and they quickly forget how they benfitted from faulty goal line technology to keep them from relegation.
