  1. Why aren't the other teams in the Premier League rallying to have City ousted?

    A bit late I know but better late than never. Ha ha! Bravo!
  2. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager / awaiting clarity from the club over his position

    I'm clearly not forgetting 'how bad we were at times this season' when I literally stated in my post 'despite how bad we were at times this season'. I wonder whether some of you lot just watch vidiprinters and websites for stats on the game rather than using your own judgement. We just won a...
  3. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager / awaiting clarity from the club over his position

    All this highlights to me is how the current trend of over reliance on stats is flawed. As bad as we were at times this season. No amount of statistical evidence can tell me that we were more deserving of 14th place. As the saying goes: "Statistics are used much like a drunk uses a lamp post...
  4. Official: FC Barcelona charged with Corruption over payments to former referees chief | UEFA open investigation

    Thanks! Colour me not shocked at all. Barca looking to have almost as many asterisks as 115 FC.
  5. Official: FC Barcelona charged with Corruption over payments to former referees chief | UEFA open investigation

    Can anyone give us a summary? Preferably before Don Johan and Ragnar jump in and tell us their version of how this is a genius financial move by Barca, all part of their completely corruption free masterplan and there is nothing shady to see here.
  6. Bruno Fernandes Out?

    Excellent post. It’s mind boggling to me how underrated he is. The minute he was sold, he’d go on and be the star man at another club and the Bruno out brigade would move onto a new scapegoat.
  7. Bruno Fernandes Out?

    Am I missing something here? Forget all your decimal point stats. Bruno has 10 goals and 7 assists compared to Odegaards 8 and 8. Not to mention infinitely better stats for his club. Bruno has to function in our dysfunctional team while Odegaard has the luxury of operating in a functional...
  8. Bruno Fernandes Out?

    I hope to god Bruno doesn’t read The Caf. Else he might think why do I bother busting my gut week in week out for this club when many of the fanbase would sell me for chump change at the drop of a hat. Unless there’s an eye boggling huge fee from Saudi and I’m talking Coutinho levels then it’d...
  9. Casemiro (Out)

    Exactly. If Bruno had fallen out with the manager then fair enough, or been a crock, or was looking leggy ala Casamiro then fine. But he's hardly ever injured. Gives his all, and is nearly always our most creative outlet. But some people want to sell him. Sir Alex sold players from a position of...
  10. Casemiro (Out)

    I'd hate for some of you lot to be in charge of this team. You'd do a worse job than ETH has regarding wheeling and dealing. Casemiro out i'm fine with. Looks past his best. But Bruno??? Good teams don't sell their best players, the very notion that you sell your best players to recoup some...
  11. Biggest creators of chaos in football

    Allain Saint Maximininimuminin I think I spelled his surname correctly ;) Update: Just realised he plays in Saudi now. Didn't realised they'd sold him. I'd assumed he was injured. Used to love watching his chaotic runs where no defenders could predict what he'd do, likewise his own team mates...
  12. How bad have our injuries really been this season?

    Ha ha. When you put it like that.
  13. What Would You Sell Our Players For?

    There's a few like Kobbie, Garnacho etc who i'd say are priceless, the vast majority I wouldn't let go for less than 50p and a bag of Revels. And I REALLY like Revels. In fact speaking of which I remember hearing our performances recently described as a bag of Revels since "you don't what...
  14. Hojlund fell out with both Bruno and Dalot

    https://www.manutd.com/en/news/detail/teddy-sheringham-talks-on-utd-podcast-about-andy-cole-relationship-and-competition-with-dwight-yorke Just a personality clash according to Sheringham. A lot of rubbing each other (but the wrong way :))
