But the Tottenham game was pretty much right after arrival, 3 days after seasons end, and we played first-team players in that game? That's even more risky.

 

 

 

I think Howe's point is the first team players playing again is the issue

I think not getting battered off Spurs is the preferred option

The exact attitude that sees home fans continually fucked over here. Cash is king, fuck anything else. 

 

Get Silverstone a statue next to Shearer and SBR. 

FFP/PSR has made it so

You can be upset about it but that is the reality, we are not in a position to be turning down money that's on offer

I get the anger but I'd much sooner direct it towards those that push/implement FFP/PSR rather than the club

I can't believe people are getting worked up over this .

The same people that probably lose their shit when we lose during pre season

Pathetic all round. Who wins from this?

 

Club looks stupid. Fans who will have travelled and paid decent money have been mugged off. Youth team hammered.

 

Just looks like a cash grab from the club. Really, really doesn't paint us in a good light.

The club gets money for it, that's the benefit

I don't blame the club for taking it, FFP/PSR has meant we don't have the luxury of turning such things down

Firstly a bit of observance is that their forum is shite and littered with ads, makes you appreciate even more what we have here

and secondly they are absolute morons. 

The highlight was the guy who embedded a tweet saying our fans are stupid and sound like kids in the replies, yet the very tweet he embeds is a Man U fans account celebrating that Freedman has decided to stay. The lack of awareness is staggering.

Wonder if Palace recent form swayed his decision, if they can keep hold of Olise and Eze they will have a good season next year

Last time our first choice rejected us things turned out more than fine so hopefully this goes the same way

Ideally we can have someone in place soon, don't want this dragging on

Lookman with a cracking finish to make it 2-0

Leverkusen looking awful

Atalanta with the lead, deservedly so, been the better side 

Seen some references to Berrada using an Ineos email address, which article was that in? (Current in the middle of a whatsapp discussion where a Man U fan is trying to claim Berrada and Ashworth exchanging emails is just two blokes having a conversation, has nowt to do with Man U)

At what point do we dust-off Ashworth's laptop, change his passwords, carry out all his Windows updates and tell him he's not going to Man U as they're pissing about, crack on and do your job.

Never

The moment he said he wanted to go to Man U and we put him on gardening leave he was done here

If Man U decide they no longer want him then Dan will see out his gardening leave and go elsewhere but he is absolutely 100% done here

Love Howe and I'm almost never critical of him

Whilst those that slate him for picking Longstaff clearly aren't thinking straight, it's a forced situation due to injuries 

The goalkeeper situation I am critical of. If Pope is fit enough for the bench then he could easily be called upon a minute into the game so starting him was the sensible choice

I can understand being cautious if you have a competent number 2 but Dubravka isn't that, he's shite. 

Aside from that he's coached a game we should have won, at 1-1 we had a 3 v 1 but made a mess of it. 

Howe will be fine and next season assuming we don't get brutalised with injuries again will be better too.

Ortega was class for City, huge saves

What a save by Vicario

Spurs have started brightly

He actually wildly overhit the pass I thought.

The pass was poor but the run was really good 

Other end and that's given as a pen 

Some save from Alisson that 

What a strange goal but quality from Diaby

Lovely goal by Duran

Not clear and obvious then? ?

clear and obvious has nothing to do with offsides 

Looked off to me, not convinced by that line

Ultimately it's lines determined by officials so I will always remain sceptical of it

Sooner semi automated is introduced the better

He's the man to pop up with an jammy 94th minute equaliser

Not a chance, they are so toothless

Was Jesus not meant to wait 30 seconds before coming on since Saka got treatment, came on the pitch, got more treatment and then went off?

McTominay is absolutely shite

Decent team minus the defence 

The defence is a car crash

Arsenal will ruin them
