Leyqute:
You got everything right apart from the part where you blamed Mourinho for Lingard and Mkhi's poor display. Both of 'em weren't expected to flop but that's just football. Would you say Mou made a mistake by not seeing the future? Blaming him for their poor performance today is taking things too far.

We all pray for Rooney to lose less of the ball but he was okay today, his performance didn't warrant any criticism.

SailorXY:
the point is not Rooney's performance today, the point is Rooney doesn't figure if a team is to be selected on merit. This didn't start today, it started from SAF last season in charge.
He can have the odd good display but reality is he makes our moves predictable & quite simple to defend against.

The hard fact is that we are not in a strong position to field on sentiments, we are on a journey to return to the pinnacle & the most potent strategies should be employed while other peripheries like "goal record" should be very very secondary.

elampiro:
With what Mkhitaryan played today, even he played in the middle against kindergarten defenders he would have flopped. Moreover I was told by a Bundesliga follower that Mkhitaryan is better on the wing.

I didnt also understand what you mean by Mkhitaryan's wing, did you allocate wings to them in training?

Secondly, this was what you people kept saying about Mata, until he was given chance in the middle, he couldn't own it. Then you said same thing about Herrera, he also couldn't own the number 10 in the absence of Rooney in the second half of last season.

SIRcumalot:
this payet na bastard.

elampiro:
Your criticism of Rooney showed that you didn't watch the match.

You said what was Rooney doing on the wing when Lingard ought to have started. Mr Man, Lingard started and Rooney didnt start from the wing.

Secondly, you said Rooney is blocking Rashford, Mkhitaryan and Mata. But Rooney far performed Mkhitaryan today. Even Opabunmi would have done far better than Mkhitaryan today.

E be like say you don already program your brain to always criticize Rooney.

Elampiro, Valencia's positioning is poor..

There were atleast two occassions where he drew tight to an opponent on the flank (who wasnt with the ball)...only for another city player to run into the space created

Valencia did he best - he supplied width (especially in a match where our wingers failed to turn up) and he also showed commitment but I think there are still flaws that would make some people wish that we sign a natural RB.

He's still the best we have got at the moment though..

SailorXY:
Statistics suggest the first half was really poor cuz I didn't see much wrong for the 40mins I viewed.

Pogba need to do much better attacking & this is why I advocate a 3 man midfield. Either Schneiderlin or Herrera should join the CMF & release Pogba going forward. This is the only way we can get good value. Besides I didn't see the midfield prowess from Man City many people seem to be raving about.

Smalling & Bailly should be our pairing. These men together will be indomitable.

& Zlatan should have gotten more than a fücking goal!

dopeJemi:
Is it

The city game were it was Rashford's individual brilliance that bailed us out?

The 3-2 win against arsenal were it was also Rashford's individual brilliance that bailed us out?

The FA cup game against Everton were it was martial's individual brilliance that won us the cup

The westham game were it was Rashford's individual brilliance that won us the game

Or the match against Leicester that martial's individual brilliance earned us a draw?

You see the nonsense you've been spewing since?

I ask you again, which game did martial, lingard, rooney, mata, carrick all kick the ball at once into the back of the net to earn us a win? Because according to your stoopid theory, when an individual scores a goal it is down to individual brilliance, so which game under van gaal did 4 players score a goal at once?

SailorXY: Look @ the nonsense you typed, Rashford only played cuz Jose needed to win.
Guy forget, if this was some form of physical gathering na only Jah know the condition you go use reach house

Spy360:
He may be wrong, I am not to judge. But ganging up to insult a single person by throwing posts here and there is a sign of low self esteem. Because such people would never make a single contribution whether right or wrong. They only pop up when they find someone is being picked out. Inferiority. Simple.

Spy360:
It is stupidity to pick out someone for insults. If you can't engage in a civil discussion, argument or criticism; jump and pass.

Pouncing on a single individual because others do is cowardice and low self esteem.

adeyemi2015:



Are we watching different Matches under Jose Mourinho?! I think you should blame Martial for slowly adapting to the new Manager's System!

What can You say of our last Match before the Break?! Rashford replaced Martial, and he wasn't glued to the wing, rather he was switching positions which eventually got him the winning Goal!

Was Mata also limited on the right wing?! When Micki came in, was he not roaming and inter-changing wings?!

I think you have no point here, you simply just wanna start another baseless argument this Evening!

Lana1:
Lol. Me i don tire for all their jagbajantis and useless conspiracies. If beating a major rival 8-2 or coming from 3 goals down to beat an in-form Spurs 5-3 is their definition of bullying opposition, then i no mind dat kind bullying.

They no get point. Let em keep saying their nonsense!

kante, hazard rejected manure for Chelsea. Can you say pogba rejected Barca, Real Madrid for manure huh. Those players you mentioned were held by their various club, the players were willing to come so it is a different scenario. Di Maria never wanted to come to manure, Tevez hate manure, sneider... Only overrated English players that fergie used in winning the heart of English fa love to play there. David Luiz had to terminate his contract when he heard Chelsea calling.

Express Sport understands the Belgian was one of Antonio Conte's first transfer targets as he looked to overhaul the Blues squad.

During Euro 2016, the 28-year-old admitted he had talks with the Blues about a move to Stamford Bridge. "I have met with Antonio Conte and I know he wanted me at Juventus," he told reporters. "He has told me what kind of player I can be for him and I feel he still wants me."

But in July, Nainggolan confirmed he would remain at Roma after meeting director of football Walter Sabatini.
He said: "Will I stay at Roma? Yes, I'm going to remain here."

Niklas Sule's agent says that the Hoffenheim defender turned down the opportunity to join Chelsea but remains a target for the Blues.

[b]The Croatia international will pen a new contract with the Nerazzurri that is worth less than the one the Blues offered him to move to London.

Marcelo Brozovic has turned down a contract offer from Chelsea in order to sign a new deal with Inter. The Blues had a £25 million bid for the 23-year-old accepted by the Nerazzurri, but the player turned down the chance to move to the Premier League outfit. Although Chelsea offered the midfielder a bigger wage than Inter, he has opted to remain at San Siro.
Brozovic's agent, Miroslav Bicanic,
encouraged a bidding war over his client , after making Inter's valuation for Brozovic known to Chelsea officials.
"Yes, it is official Brozo will stay in Inter," he told Goal. "Otherwise, he would have been on the plane to London and not with national team in Sisak. After he returns from Croatia, Marcelo will sign a new, improved contract with Inter.

"With it he will earn less than he would have if he had signed for Chelsea, but he feels comfortable in Inter, he knows the city and the club will play in Europa League. He didn't want to rush to England because there is a new coach at Inter."[/b]

Inter recently signed Joao Mario and Gabigol, who will boost the efforts of Frank de Boer's side in Serie A.

Meanwhile, the news that Brozovic will not sign for Chelsea is another blow for Antonio Conte's side. The Stamford Bridge outfit have already missed out on the likes of Napoli's Kalidou Koulibaly and AC Milan's Alessio Romagnoli in recent weeks.

If you observe very well it's hunting them already,most times players reject them for other big clubs.

Sinizia....

Halsey also wrote in his autobiography, Added Time: “I was in the same boat as Lee Mason that time when Wayne Rooney swore into a TV camera in a game at West Ham.
“No referee would have sent him off for that but Lee came under pressure to report that he hadn’t seen it but would have given a red card if he had seen it.

“That way, as in my case, the FA could take retrospective action.”

Danhumprey:
Off topic..... .. ...




Guys, a little help here. I got a friend who stay abroad. We intend chatting on whatsapp, we exchanged contact, but I am not able to add the contact to my whatsapp list. I don't know what's the problem.

A little help please.

Sinizia sinisterly laying down the law.
Before long people will claim we bribed Dayo and UEFA to defeat Bayern in Fergie time in 1999
When we beat City in "Fergie time" it was corruption, when City won the league in "Fergie time" it was persistence and "never say die" attitude

eph12:
Why are there hidden posts na? What rubbish has cocaineprodigy written again?

kokaneprodigy:
just look at how you've embarrassed your generation, your own future is very bright

Nihilist:
I don't think there's anything more to be said here...

Sinizia see what your post is attracting...

Nihilist:
Whether the penalty was awarded or not was irrelevant. The Ref didn't think it was pen and clearly even Ferguson wasn't concerned about it.The point is why do you have a manager trying to call off a game 'in game'? Why is the manager then asking for extra time 'in game'? Did Nihilist coin the term 'Fergie Time'?

Actually, Halsey was banned from contacting Managers whose games he reffed, but he did it anyway....you really should know better. See below:

""At the beginning of the season all our referees were reminded of the importance of adhering to the PGMOL protocols.

"This covers a number of issues, including making direct contact with managers and players, which for integrity reasons is prohibited."

the 2012-13 campaign, has, in his book 'Added Time', claimed to have had a good relationship with Ferguson.

The ex-official has revealed how he contacted Ferguson to ask the Scot to support referee Mark Clattenburg, amid allegations that he had racially abused Chelsea's John Obi Mikel -- of which he was ultimately cleared.

In The Sun on Sunday, Halsey also alleged that Mikel said "I'm going to break your legs" to Clattenburg, and the threat led to referees considering a strike.

The Daily Mirror quotes Halsey as writing in his book: "I took matters in my own hands and rang Sir Alex asking him to speak out.

"He agreed and used his Friday press conference to say he could not conceive of Mark saying such things. It helped the situation a great deal.

"It took time to gain Sir Alex Ferguson's respect but in the end we had a very good relationship.

"One thing should be made clear about my relationship with Sir Alex. I may have spoken to him a lot and shared texts but he knew when I crossed that white line there were no favours.

"Players and managers would not respect you if you gave decisions based on friendship."

But the Professional Game Match Officials Limited, which provides match officials for all Professional Football matches played in England, has warned referees against such behaviour.

A spokesman said: "At the beginning of the season all our referees were reminded of the importance of adhering to the PGMOL protocols.

"This covers a number of issues, including making direct contact with managers and players, which for integrity reasons is prohibited.

"Any new publicity will only heighten awareness of adhering to these important PGMOL guidelines."

Nihilist:
The fact that Dermot Gallagher didn't acquiesce Ferguson, does not negate the fact that Ferguson asked for the favour .

Other people did do him favours though. Same Mark Halsey that brought up the Aguero gate row, regularly texted Ferguson and even attended dinner at Ferguson's house as a ref.
And of course nobody can forget Howard Webb.

I don't know what you're trying to deny when even Ferguson admitted that he used to unduly influence referees.

"'The fourth official (against Swansea) on Sunday showed me the board and it said eight minutes. I said, “think again!” - Alex PDP Ferguson.

When even David Moyes was questioning whether Mike Riley was a united fan, you know whats up!

PDP!!!!
