Geordie Ahmed

Whilst Colback and Shelvey start 

Nketiah should be taking those chances 

Desmond

Good finish from Zinchenko 

Awful news even though it was sadly inevitable.

Seemed like a nice guy that always played with a smile on his face.

Looking extremely likely that Man Utd will be the next oil takeover as the Qataris have apparently put their bid in, and a Saudi consortium also about to hoy a bid in.

 

Must admit that them also having Saudi owners makes me a bit nervous for our own future. Would it be compromised? If Man Utd do better than us under a Saudi consortium then would PIF lose interest in us?

The Saudi interest in Man-U is reportedly from private investors, so nowt for us to be worried about

I think we have to if we want to go full strength in cup final. 

 

De Gea, Dalot, Lindelof, Martinez, Malacia, Casemiro, Sabitzer, McTominay, Sancho, Garnacho, Weghorst. 

 

Even something like that. 

Casemiro not suspended?

Man-U winning now, goal made by Rashford

Keeper error like 

He just can't stop scoring 

Rashford is ridiculous

still anxious as hell at the thought of having to play them next season.

hate derbies.

 

 

 

 Pre Ashley I would have been and whilst I would much prefer they don't get promoted I kinda would like to play them again

I agree with your point mate, all I would say is that granted his overall career was shite as a manager he waa probably better than some of other shite as in bruce mclaren carver etc. 

 

I do think Chris Houghton got ball rolling for him and would of been great for couple more seasons

Looking at it purely as a manager then Pardew is ahead of Bruce, McClaren and Carver but that's hardly a ringing endorsement

But for the reasons Kid Iracus has beautifully laid out he is arguably the worst of the lot

Have i said Ben Arfa is no good? It annoys me that he never fulfilled his potential? And its not a dig at Rafa. I liked Rafa as he kept us in league twice under horrendous ownership with a shite squad...

 

I dunno why soms fans turn so quick on few lads saying they enjoyed that season? 

 

 

 

I did say I'm walking away but I can't help it

Why are you struggling with this bit, the issue isn't about enjoying that season, I enjoyed it too, all the players I mentioned were brilliant and in the form of their life, so many great moments but it's the praising of Pardew that people have an issue with

They'd probably get to keep on loan again if they come up, easy way for him to get guaranteed games in the PL so Man-U can see whether he is good enough that that level

I haven't made it "all about Pardew"

 

Ben Arfa has annoyed me looking at his career, seems like he has never been arsed whereever he has been.

You came into this thread praising Pardew and with a not so subtle dig at Rafa

And then to top it off you aren't a fan of Ben Arfa, honestly in real life I'd walk away from anyone that had the following opinions so I'm going to do that here as well

Pardew = Good

Rafa = Not Good

Ben Arfa = Not Good

Happy he went to shake things up (not happy with replacement). The bloke is a cock yes, but still that season was more enjoyable than following and the real Stadium of light trip was class.

 

I dunno why people think any one is a huge fan of Pardew for enjoying that season

 

 

 

Because you can enjoy the season for Ba, Cisse, Cabaye, Ben Arfa etc etc without needing to make it all about Pardew

Commentators talking about Man-U being in a title race, which is probably true tbf but a nauseating thought nonetheless 

Arsenal have been poor in the 2nd half 

City pressed them and they continued trying to play out of the back even though it was constantly getting them in trouble 

Lovely finish that 

That was a quality tackle by Dias

Tbf City deserve that, been the better side the last 10-15 minutes

Offside my arse I thought it was meant to be clear and obvious

Not for offsides, that's never been a rule

Definitely offside 

I have no issue if we start to see those given as penalties but we all know that won't happen 

How often do we see players shoot, miss but get fouled after and it's not given

Yeah, not sure I'd be happy with that. Hasn't really hindered the player.
