EXCLUSIVE CLIP
The atmosphere at Anfield can be intense 🔥

So Mikel Arteta prepares his players by blasting out You’ll Never Walk Alone during training 🎶 #AONArsenal pic.twitter.com/CjBQ3Lsn3T

— Prime Video Sport UK (@primevideosport) August 2, 2022

I am so glad United rejected the idea when Ole was there. One thing I have learnt from these documentaries is how human these managers are. You would start having a soft spot for them and understand how hard their jobs are.

After the first episode, I started feeling genuine sympathy for Arteta. They lost their first 3 PL games and he was desperate for a win. You need to see how hard he was trying to rally the boys to not set a terrible record for the club.

Now that Ten Hag Is at United, I think United should do theirs this season. Amazon has this shit on lock. They make the best documentaries. The Spurs one was good too but it was basically a Mourinho show.

Oasis007:
Jonathan Shrager: So both Netflix and Amazon Prime are competing for the rights to film a Manchester United documentary series. I wonder if Disney+ are monitoring the situation.

They should let Amazon do it.

The ones they did for City and Arsenal are too good.

Arteta took loudspeakers to the training pitch to simulate the Anfield noise so his players won’t be intimidated or distracted.

After 90 mins, Arsenal still lost 4-0.

There are way too many losers on this thread.

People who have abandoned their villages in the South East because poverty was about to destroy their souls. They finally made it to Lagos and they ask questions that they weren’t able to ask in their impoverished villages.

If Lagos is too rough for you, get on the overnight coach and go back to your village. It’s very simple. Curfew-abiding idiots are in Lagos pointing accusing fingers as if their own village is peaceful.

Dumbfucks…..

BlueRayDick:
A wise man once said: " If all you have is hammer, everything looks like a nail. It's obvious tribalism has eaten deep into the root of ur soul to the extent that everyone you see criticizing the government is a Southeasterner or Anambran(Not like those from that part of the country don't have a right to demand good governance from the government of their resident state where they work and live as responsible citizens). Are u not ashamed of urselves?

Some of u have travelled out of the country and some are planning to; where they intend to live or already living responsibly and enjoy the good of such places, but the moment u are in Nigeria or think of ur fellow Nigerians, reasoning must takes its leave while tribalism takeover ur coconut head

For ur information, I'm a born and raised in Lagos; so miss me with all that ur Anambra gibberish u are spitting all over my mention.

It doesn’t matter to me where you were born or raised. Go and develop your village. Leave Lagos alone. It’s the 2nd dirtiest city in the world with a megalomaniac controlling all the resources of the state, right?

It’s crime-ridden mostly caused by agberos that you thoroufldy despise. It’s filled with poverty and diseases and the state is nothing to write home about. Why don’t you leave this place and move to Anambra that towers above Abu Dhabi in infrastructure?

BlueRayDick:
I live in , work and pay my tax in Lagos; I am within my right to speak against government's actions and inactions that affects me and the life of my loved ones. If anybody feels otherwise, they should go 4ck themselves; not everybody will be a government praise-singer in the face of recklessness in governance.

Whatever the problem u lots have with South-easterners and the IPOB situation down there is ur headache.

Go and pay your taxes in Anambra. Nobody needs your tax in Lagos. The city is overpopulated. It needs to be decongested.

How’s a state of only 452 square miles inhabiting 24m Nigerians? The law enforcers and the government facilities cannot cope. And when there’s a breakdown in law and order, parasites like you are the first to complain.

raumdeuter:
Obi, his house and businesses in the SE every Monday must obey the sit at home. This is a former governor trying to be president yet his own state he governed is under the control of a terror group that he must also obey

He is either one of their sponsors or just a coward like his voice suggests given the way he squeals when talking

Obi is IPOB.

There’s nothing anyone can say that will change my mind. If Obi is really serious about governing Nigeria, he should be making plans to negotiate with IPOB to stop the unnecessary curfew and the impoverishment of his own people.

How can someone hoping to govern Nigeria submit willingly to terrorism? I am shocked none of these stupid interviewers on AriseTV or ChannelsTV haven’t asked him this question directly.

What is Obi doing to the compulsory sit-at-home in the SE?

BlueRayDick:
When we talk about the dangers of institutionalizing Agbero(touts) in Lagos and to the extent of the government rebranding them (calling them Lagos motor parks committee ) ; this what we are worried about .

I saw video of the chairman being hacked to death on Facebook omo!

Innocent taxpayer’s vehicles and properties were also destroyed by the warring factions in reprisal attacks .

https://www.nairaland.com/7304906/lagos-tension-mile-12-over#116149395

As opposed to IPOB maiming INEC staff and terrorizing those that came to register for their PVC.

The entire SE are observing another curfew today. Even Obi’s conglomerates all over the SE also observe this sit-at-home - losing billions of naira in trade every Monday.

Yet, the agberos(who also include 40% of SE boys) in Lagos are your problem. The hypocrisy of the average Nigerian baffles me every day.

ChristoBam:
Just so you can have the last say in an argument, you're now saying whatever and drumming up whatever no matter how silly it sounds. Calling Antony that hasn't even played a single game a flop already?

Calling Di Maria's name in almost a direct comparison to Antony. Talking about how we're not sure if he'll want to leave in 2 years. Is the case in every single signing? They could win thing here and decide they want to leave. And they could stay here and decide to play till they retire. All depends on a lot of things.

But one thing's for certain, we'll never sign a young player with a release clause that means he'll certainly be leaving after 2 years. We'll never do that.

So far in everything you've said since yesterday. Logic has been far from you.

Your brain cells and cavity should be donated to a primate lab.

You are justifying paying double the price for a quarter of a talent and yet you cannot guarantee the player won’t leave after 2 years.

Don’t disgrace your schools any further with this cockroach brain power. It’s embarrassing.

Haaland

Finished article
Golden boot candidate
Elite striker
The best young striker in the world.
£51m
Could leave after 2 years.

Antony

Unfinished article
Never scored 10 league goals per season
Only has 25% of Haaland’s talent
Not an elite forward player
75th best winger in Europe
€100m
Could also leave after 2 years

Only a stupid person with a malfunctioning brain would choose Antony over Haaland.

ChristoBam:
Dude you just love going on and on and on. Sometimes you write a lot of words just deflecting away from the topic being discussed. I don't care about Antony or whether he's the next huge flop or a future balon d or winner? This was never the discuss.

The whole Convo has been about how we couldn't have gone for Haaland because of the release clause. If Antony asked for a release clause, we'd laugh at him. He's here on a long term contract. They can decide to extend it in two years. He's our player for the long term. He could even retire here.

Don't even try to make this about Antony. Calling him zero talent cuz you're trying to deflect.

You don’t know what you are talking about.

I am making a direct comparison to a flop that cost twice as much who could also leave within 2 years.

Why would anyone with brain cells pay double the price for quarter of the talent and yet cannot guarantee such asset would not leave after 2 years?

Antony left Ajax, he can leave United too. He has actually shown his disloyalty. A babe left a guy for you and you don’t think she could also leave you for another guy? Engage your logic gear for once, dude.

Di Maria left after one year. Don’t make it seem like if a player wants to leave United, United can stop the transfer from happening. No such thing happens.

And if no such things happen cos there’s player power, why not get Haaland for 2 years then? He’s not a work in progress, he’s a finished asset that would guarantee goals and multiple titles for a small fee.

How can you people not see this?

ovoP:
is halaand worth 51m pounds? No.. he's worth way more, that was just his release clause.

He’s worth what City paid Dortmund.

With £51m, he’s made City better in the attacking department. He’s scored 6 PL goals in 4 games. He’s got a hat trick already. Rashford/Martial who would become Methuselahs at United have 2 hat tricks combined since 2016.

Haaland would win another PL or possibly a CL for City. Even if he stays there for only 9 months, it’s already a good business for Man City unlike Antony that would probably never reach such heights but spend 45 years at Man Utd.

ChristoBam:
Honestly you're not making sense. We're signing Antony now. If he becomes a world beater like they think he will, he might want to move to Madrid or Barca. At that point, he'll leave if he really wants to go. But our hope is that he stays in the club till he's almost close to retirement.

You people should be engaging logic once in a while.

You are putting €100m on a player with zero or little potential to improve Man Utd. His stats looks awful even in Netherlands. Sancho that was tearing Bundesliga apart is still finding it hard to get his groove in England but you think €100m is okay for a player that may never be as good as Martial.

ChristoBam:
It's different from Haaland, coming in with a release clause that he can activate after 2 years which means he's definitely leaving. We don't do those kinds of deals. Even Arsenal won't do that kind of nonsense deal.

Haaland was £51m. Everyone knew what he brings into any team. His talents precede him. He’s torn everywhere apart. He’s a sure banker to win multiple golden boots in the PL, but you would rather pay double for a player with no talent.

What makes you think Antony can’t leave after 2 years? This dude literally downed tools at Ajax. He betrayed his employers because United wanted him. What is to say he won’t betray United again upon his zero talents?

I’d rather have a sure banker Haaland for a year than Antony(zero talent) on a life contract.

JayKayMaybachz:


ANTONY ISSA RED

I hate this deal.

It’s money laundering. This dude isn’t worth the amount.

Why is Antony almost the double of Haaland?

ovoP:
listen to your self.. United did not want to lose ronaldo, but he wanted to leave, so we got a record fee for him..

So Ronaldo without a release clause still left but you don’t want Haaland cos he could leave?

ovoP:
Did man united want to sell Ronaldo? Did he not leave for a world record fee.. a player wanted a release clause of 75m euros in his contract, because he planned to leave after 3 seasons, but we should sign him.. not as if d player is old.. Respect yourself.. you talk as if if halaand were here, we would have played any better..

So Man Utd(the biggest club in Britain) sold their best talent(Ballon d’Or winner) at the age of 24 but suddenly the same club do not want a player that would leave after few years?

Make it make sense, dude.

ovoP:
sold them towards d end of their careers after winning 4 champions league with them, and getting replacement.. we should buy 19 year old halaand and sell him at 22 to further is career.. yoy do that in clubs like dortmund, ajax . Stepping stone clubs.

How old was Ronaldo when he moved to Madrid, you dumbfuck?

Expert17:
At least he saved a PK from a player who hardly miss.

So once he saves a penalty, he automatically gets 3 points.

Why couldn’t he save any of the penalties against Boro last season in a cup competition.

Even the first goal, Henderson eyeballed the ball into the net. He made no effort to stop the shot.

ovoP:
That's not how big clubs operate.. selling clubs operate that way.. not progressive clubs.. you are letting your emotions get the better of your judgement,

You are very silly.

Real Madrid sold Ronaldo, Casemiro, Varane and you are here lying to yourself that big clubs don’t operate that way.

How do big clubs operate?

Expert17:
Lol, his set-piece, distribution, and sweeping abilities are far better than his saving/goalkeeping ability just like Ederson, Valdes, and Pickford.

Why didn’t Henderson come out to catch Richarlison’s trivela cross to Kane?

If that was DDG, you would blame him for the goal that he was glued to his line.

ChristoBam:
United and City is not United and Liverpool. They already had an 100m bid rejected for Kane last year. We're talking of paying a release clause and the player is theirs. You know the truth.

Liverpool can never dream of going for Ronaldo. City did.


FYI, City tried to sign Pogba. Reported by Fabrizio, Laurie Whitwell and any tier one reporter you rate.

So why didn’t Ronaldo and Pogba go to City?

It’s a non-starter. When Rooney even flirted with joining City, you saw what yobs were doing outside his home.
You have to live in Manchester to know how bad the rivalry is.

It can never happen. Even if his release clause is £200.

ovoP:
why didn't other big clubs sign him.. you guys talk as if United is dortmund or benfica, we don't buy players to sell. Release clause which city paid for him is what dey wanted.. then in 3 years time, he tells you he wants to leave for Madrid.

But he would have won plenty of trophies in those 3 years. Why would you want him to stay at United forever? Is it slavery?

Your club couldn’t even keep Di Maria(no release clause) for more than a year and you are concerned about a player that could leave after 3 years.

Worry about today, tomorrow is not given.

ChristoBam:
Haha City wouldn't go for one of the best strikers in this generation because he's at United? Because the respect us?

They won’t.

It’s the equivalent of United trying to sign Trent Alexander . City would have gone back to sign Kane or Lewandowski(short term), Aubameyang or an unknown entity from South America.

No top 6 team in the PL would dare to.

ChristoBam:
Last season, City were the ones in the best position to sign Haaland. Probably the only ones that could, given the costs.

So imagine he was at United, with our disaster of a season. He wouldn't have got to City? You're having a laugh.

City wouldn’t bid for him if he was at United - that’s the point. This is like expecting Ramos to join Barcelona.

ChristoBam:
How's it not possible? When he has a release clause. Bro just agree the deal was impossible.

How many times has a United player gone straight to Man City?

ChristoBam:
Firstly, Man City paid 100m for Grealish but they won't pay for Haaland?



Secondly, you know release clauses are compulsory in Spain, right? That's why they go through the trouble.

Any player that comes to an EPL club with a release clause wants to leave at a certain time. Haaland wanted to come here and leave after 3 years or so. Now tell me why in this world, they'd agree to a release clause of an impossible amount?

You said we should have put in a release clause of 900m. Dortmund agreed to a release clause of 70m. Why the hell will he choose United?

Haaland can’t sign for United and then go to City.

It’s literally impossible.

United would have offered triple the wages Dortmund offer with plenty of commercial deals. He would have become the face of Man Utd with the team built around him.

ChristoBam:
He'd literally be playing for City now if we accepted the clause.

And how the fvck are they going to accept a clause higher than 100m? This is the reason he's not here. You're funny sha.

City won’t pay that amount for any player.

kokaneprodigy:
Are you going to include the clause after he has signed?
Cos I’m thinking how he’ll sign a contract with a ridiculous amount in release clause, perhaps with a gun to his head.
Your emotion is getting the best of you.

You people don’t understand how release clauses work. I would implore you to go and check the release clauses of all Barca players during that era when they were unbeatable.

Ansu Fati and Pedri(several tiers lower than Haaland) have €1 billion clauses. Messi had €700m clause in his final contract at Barca. Vinicius has €700m clause, Benzema has €1 billion clause.

All what these means is if you can pay the release clauses, the player is yours(no argument). This was how PSG were able to buy Neymar. Neymar’s clause was €220m. PSG called their bluff and they paid and the player became PSG’s property.

ovoP:
halaand had nothing to do with ole.. Its d fact that he wanted a release clause in his contract, and united refused..

Why would United refuse a release clause? If Haaland wanted to sleep with the Queen of England as part of his personal terms, we should have given him.

A club that has failed massively from making good money from transfer sales should have welcomed a release clause.

Haaland wanted a release clause? No problem. Set it to £900m. If any club is stupid enough to pay that amount to prise Haaland out of United, it is good news.

When was the last time United sold a player for profit? £89m Pogba walked away free to another club. That’s how bad the decision makers at United have been.

I wonder how City were able to deal with Raiola but United couldn’t.

Ole and Woodward blamed their incompetence on the agent.

Ole losing this gem of a striker should have got him sacked. The football results shouldn’t even have factored into it.

Career hat tricks at age 22…..Haaland leads by quite a distance.

eph12:
ETH is also unable to convince Dejong to join him

De Jong had contract issues with Barca. De Jong want the money owed to be paid and United aren’t ready to pay Barca’s debt.

Haaland was a free pass playing for RB Salzburg then. Anybody could have gotten him then. Yet, Ole bungled it.

Expert17:
He created a clean chance for Elanga today and against Liverpool, the idiot missed both.

He should be doing more though.

A player of his quality should be providing 4-5 big chances per game. He was doing that regularly at the start of his United career.

eph12:
I don't have confidence in Bruno's creativity anymore. Looks like he needs a rest

He tries too hard and I am not sure about the quality of the strikers.

Elanga and Rashford won’t start for any of the top 6 sides.

Expert17:
I don't know how we miss out on Vlahovic and Haaland.

Ole was the problem.

If we had Mourinho when Haaland was discovered, he would have become a United player.

Ole could not convince his ex player to join Man Utd. It’s the most embarrassing fiasco you could ever read about.

eph12:
We actually need to replace Bruno in that midfield if we're being serious. He's better playing as a striker or ss

Bruno is fine.

United just need to settle the DM position and bring in FDJ.

The midfield 3 should be Casemiro dovetailing Bruno and FDJ.

Casemiro - Destroyer
De Jong - Passer
Bruno/Eriksen - Creator
