[color=royalblue]It depends on whether whatever blows we are giving is having an impact on the gorilla. That's what would make the men fight back.

If the gorilla has squeezed 15 of us to death, the remaining 85 will have 30 praying for their reposed souls.

There has got to be a weapon for the men to have an edge oh.[/color]

Nah, the men will have to fight back if they have no choice. If the choice is between sitting in one corner, waiting for your turn to die and mobbing the gorilla and hoping for the best, men will mob the gorilla.

Blows won't be weapon of choice but stampede. That, and fatigue on the part of the gorilla. If you punch a gorilla, you are very likely to shatter your hand. The way to go is for dozens of men to keep rushing it and trying to push it to the ground. After it has bitten off the heads/torn off the arms of the first 36-48 people, he will get a little tired and the next dozen will get him on the floor and then all the remaining people who have their heads and limbs intact start running and jumping all over it.

I will be at the back coordinating the war effort. You will be the general of the vanguard. I trust you. grin

Jose Maria Gimenez from Danubio FC, 2013/14 - £896,000

David Villa from Barcelona, 2013/14 - £1.89million

Antoine Griezmann from Real Sociedad, 2014/15 - £48.6million

Jan Oblak from Benfica, 2014/15 - £14.4million

Yannick Carrasco from Monaco, 2015/16 - £13.5million

Diogo Jota from Pacos Ferreira, 2016/17 - £6.3million

Rodri from Villarreal, 2018/19 - £18million

Thomas Lemar from Monaco, 2018/19 - £64.8million

Joao Felix from Benfica, 2019/20 - £114.5million

Marcos Llorente from Real Madrid, 2019/20 - £27million

Alvaro Morata from Chelsea, 2020/21 - £31.5million

Don't let them whine you. We have been linked to this guy since as far back as 2016. Maybe now e don expire na him Glazers go reason his side sha.

GBR1:
He should appoint Mourinho and get the footballing side of things right. We were linked with one DOF dude Berta or, what happened to that? Jose has worked under even more inept folks than Woodward with success. Everything gets easier with him; We would sign more hits than misses.

Expect an extremely silly reply once you put him in this kind of fix...

We all know you didn't recommend Onana, Afrodoc. We know you wanted Costa. 😄😄

Onana that i have known for a long time. That day i was just teasing you for switching to Onana over only one game but marine people don't have much understanding.

I gave multiple warnings about Onana's tendency to have brain touch but many people here said that they would manage it like that. grin

Well we have to manage it until the season ends. We should just pray to Otem that things improve either directly from him or from the defenders in front of him.

I suspect that even Kovar would have been a better option, which is why i suggested recalling him if Onana flops (cos i knew the likelihood of that was quite high).

And oh, like i said last month, Top 4 is gone for this season. That is why i am watching these games with relaxed mind. The crying and complaining you guys are doing after every match day i don do am since last month. I didn't even watch the Champions League match.

I can't even start to quote each and everyone of you. Y'all are too far gone in your Ten Hag out reasoning. You won't see any sense in anything else till he gets sacked.

Nitrogen is asking why the club should take the blames for giving Ten Hag 100% control of transfers just after I've stated reasons it's on them. Says a lot.

You set City, Liverpool, Madrid, Ajax(Style of rebuild) e.t c as examples of how you want your team built. Which of these clubs operate with the manager in total control of transfers?

How do you operate a football club with such nativity?

Nitrogen will never blame the management for anything. He would rather deny his chi 3 times before the cock crows than say anything bad about the club management. If you are waiting for any criticism from him then you are on an incredibly long thing.

Ten Hag was just looking at players he's liked in the past and dropping them to Murtough and man was saying 'Yes Sir'.

Those ones didn't know to walk away when Antony's pricetag became unrealistic. Na Ten Hag do negotiations? But guess who will take the blame as the list for agenda is being compiled?

Even though the club is not exempt from blame ETH has to share in the blame big time. Him not keeping Rangnick is similar to when Moyes came from Everton and chased away most of SAF's backroom staff and felt he could do it with his own crew.

The club's culpability lies in them allowing a manager who had limited powers in a smaller club like Ajax to have such overriding powers at a much bigger club like Manchester United. He asked for almighty power with no evidence. Very foolish. They gave him almighty power with no evidence. Very foolish.

Onana can be erratic. The wires in his brain get mixed up sometimes. A GK like Diogo Costa is a safer bet.

Onana dey get brain touch from time. Right from his Ajax days.

I missed this. This is really such a tough fight to call. But if we are using Boxing math I look at their high quality common opponent. Shawn Porter. Crawford dispatched him much easier while Spence got a SD. Might not matter but just saying

Styles make fights and the fighters they have both faced all faced Crawford AFTER they had faced Spence. That has to be considered as well.

I understand why Crawford would be the favourite though as he has the more flashy skill and has single knockout power but I am a ride or die Spence fan so I am praying for Man Down season.

My concerns are 1) Spence’s long lay off 2) His car crash 3) My fear that he is having to increasingly drain himself to make weight. I don’t think he can make 147 much longer.

By the way have you seen the video of his car accident?

Science teaches us that Pangea broke up through continental rifting because of plate tectonic forces and molten magma fissuring.

Pseudocience teaches idi.otic things like Atum, Orunmila, Allah, Yahweh, Zeus came together to start digging the land and dividing Pangea up like family plots.

The continental plates are still drifting today. Are Orunmila and Atum still digging?

grin

What a pseudoscientist.

Make dem sell Elanga abeg

You guys are too impatient. Harry Kane went on 4 mediocre loans before making it at Spurs. Elanga had the misfortune of being introduced into a dysfunctional system last season. I am willing to give him an opportunity under a good coach with a working system before giving up on him.

Players like Mejbri, Iqbal, Shoretire are lucky they were not integrated into the team last year. By now people would have been shouting for them to be sold. The fact that the academy players were more fluid with the triangles training ETH introduced while the senior players struggled with it should tell you something.

I really don't understand why supposed fans will hope one of our players flop just so they can come back to say "I told you so"...

My position alongside many others here is that Bruno has to tweak his game to adjust to ETH's style else he'll be benched but trust those who read meanings to every post to twist it to mean that Bruno will be benched for VDB...They are blind to the clause as usual all for the sake of agenda...

Don't take it personal. You are not the only person those posters are responding to. Some of your colleagues have lambasted Bruno and stated that ETH will definitely bench him for VDB.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PtolemySoter: 6:01pm On Jul 12, 2022

We need to get a RW before the season starts. Neither Amad nor Pellistri is ready. Then Sancho can move to the LW and Rashy goes to the bench. We can then loan Elanga out.

Bissaka was good.

He wasn't. The team could not build up play easily from the right because of him. He was the reason why we kept trying to Telles, Malacia, Savage, Elanga square.
He huffed and puffed but was not good enough on the ball.
