MOTD 2016/17

He seems so combative as well, having different views is fine and without it discussing football would be a lot more boring, but he can't seem to disagree without being condescending, Jenas (who I actually quite like) seemed genuinely a bit annoyed by the way Sutton reacted to his Bravo analysis.
You want to watch the Scottish games. Him and Michael Stewart(ex United kid) nearly comes to blows.
 
The confusion of that rearranged fixture in midweek still affecting the crowd at City it seems.
 
Chappers is a United fan, he knows what's up. I like Murphy as a pundit but his comments on Rooney are usually baffling.
 
That was a funny exchance, Chapman (united man) "Rooney is shite every week".
Danny Murphy (Liverpool man) Trevor Sinclair (City man) "Nah he has to play".

I know nothing of Stewart (now other than he played for United at one point) or his disagreement with Sutton, but I fully support Stewart if it descends into a fight.

Problem with Palace smashing Stoke is that I think I dislike Pardew a tiny bit more than Hughes. I wish they could have both lost 4-1.
 
Did they at least acknowledge he was probably the worst player on the pitch today.?

Albeit in a tightly contested day of total shitness.
 
I absolutely agree.

Provided Carrick is in the stands, of course.

:lol:

That was kind of surreal. Danny Murphy was a decent CM in his day. So strange that he can't see that Rooney just can't play that role.

With the likes of the Nevilles and Scholes, I get the Manchester United connection and why they feel the need to big him up. Yet the majority of pundits treat Rooney the same way regardless and it's really weird. Does he threaten them??
 
These are retired footballers trying to earn a living in a new field. Be bizarre if they risked their credibility by lying about obvious stuff as part of some devious strategy to influence Mourinho's team selection.

How about some very basic media manipulation then? You surely do agree that there is, to some extent, pro-Rooney bias amongst English pundits in general, with very few of them calling him out? His former team mates or not really.

Let's not credit Danny Murphy with anything more convoluted than being a cnut.

Reminds of our campaign to keep Kenny at the Kop.
I'd find it a lot harder to believe he was deliberately lying.
Why the blindness though? I struggle to believe Shearer and Rooney are particularly close or have even met that often. That's the most baffling aspect, that yes he was once seen as a potential top three world player, but now has clearly deteriorated badly, yet some cling to his past potential...cos he's English? It's bizarre.

The alternatives are that they're backing their mate, or that they're all idiots - possibly/probably both. It's too prevalent, we had Crouch calling Rooney world class after the Iceland debacle ffs.

I think part of it is the fear of going against the grain. Usually one will make the lunge, then the rest will follow suit.
As long as the one isn't a weirdo like Paul Parker that is.
 
I admire the recruitment work at Southampton, a lot of their buys over the last 5 years or so I'd have loved to have had at Swansea. They've built a good side again despite losing 30+ players every 6 months.

Injury problems or not I'd have rathered Austin to Llorente.

To be fair to Sparky he was and always will be a big player in our history.

I didn't realise how nice Mata's goal was when I first saw it, good football.
 
MOTD showed that United were playing a 433 with Pogba and Mata ahead of Herrera. This is the way forward I believe and many other people on this forum will most likely agree.

Now let's get a trio of Rashford-Zlatan-Mkhitaryan then we will be ballin :)
 
What's the point of these tweets motd are showing at the end of each game. "Great 3 points today! Well done team!" :boring:

Because the BBC is run by a bunch of stupid cnuts who can only get jobs in marketing departments.
