  1. Man U aren't some unstoppable force who turn up on any given day and just decide they're going to win, man :lol:

     

    I think that's just what they are :lol

    In any case, it's just statistics, if you've been following football for long enough you know that it's rare for top teams to drop points against lesser teams in two or more games in a row. Of course it's not a rule and sometimes it doesn't go that way, but honestly looking at them and looking at us atm that seems a quite remote possibility.

     

    :naughty:

  2. Notice there has been no tweet from Demba rubbishing any of this stuff.. There has been in the past but not this time.

     

    He's never rubbished stuff in a 'I'm not leaving' way. He's loving every second of this tbh.

     

    Yeah i should have used "played down" not "rubbished"

     

    I watched the video. He knows what he was saying/doing, otherwise why go through the trouble of going on TV and risking the wrath of the management the following morning?

     

    He's clearly frustrated about how things are going for the club atm but to basically have a go at the club in public is not the way to go (Cabaye too btw...).

     

    Cabaye had a go at the club? Or did Ba have a go at Cabaye?

  3. Love how everyone's just expecting Pardew to revert to the mythical formation he hasn't gone back to all season. :lol:

     

    Fair comment, he might not revert to it just yet. But at least he's buying a player who would fit very well in that set up in case he decides to switch to it finally. Or should his successor be clever enough to realize it's the best we can do with the type of players we have.

  4. He won clearly won the ball, just unfortunately followed through and collided with the attacker coming in.

     

    Never a penalty in a million years. If a goalkeeper isn't allowed to do that, he might as well not be on the pitch.

     

    I was desperate for Michu to score for my fantasy team man. It's been that bad  :weep:

  5. I know the keeper punched the ball away, but if a defender went in knee high, won the ball and took the player out even if unintentional, it's a red for dangerous play. Lloris knew Michu was coming, punched the ball, nearly knocked him out...is that not also dangerous play?

     

    It's like when a keeper gets touched at a corner he wins the free-kick, yet he's quite able to jump through players with his knee up at chest height to claim a cross.

     

    Probably one for the Pet Hates thread.

     

    IMO that was a penalty. Yes the keeper should be going for it, but if you cant make the catch, you cant just punch a player full in the face like that.
