Rooney is a mid-table Premiership quality player at best these days, and I say that as someone who has been a fan of his ability in the past. On paper United have an 11 that stacks up against anybody's really.
De Gea
Valencia
Smalling
Bailly
Shaw
Blind
Pogba
Mata
Mkhitaryan
Rashford
Ibrahimovic
Lines is generally good for you isn't he?
He split opinion for us, but I was very much in the camp who didn't rate him. Now and again he showed he had ability but he had no heart, completely went missing in games and generally ran around like a bit of a fairy.
I'm guessing playing for his...
Basically he's good going forward, shocking going backwards. That means that any side with a decent midfield and/or playing counter attacking football effectively will have an absolute field day, especially if someone like Herrera or Carrick is alongside him. The sensible thing to do would be to...
Pogba has to be given a license to be the one player in the United team to do what he pleases to be truly effective, which under Mourinho is never going to happen. To me they still look very much a side full of some extremely good players than any sort of cohesive team.
In fairness we also had a centre-back at left back and two centre-halves who wouldn't have been in many people's starting 11 before a ball was kicked this season, while also missing our main man up front. We haven't had much luck as of yet on the injury front either.
You'd have to be a bit of a simpleton to not know that they'll not only win the league, but are going to do it comfortably. United and Chelsea are very much a work in progress, Arsenal will be the same old Arsenal for as long as Wenger remains there and Liverpool will have too many 'Burnley'...
Pisses me off that we can't get at least another thousand on the gate. Don't the stay away supporters realise that would obviously benefit the club they're supposed to support and give us a better chance to succeed? That said, whenever we have had a big gate in recent memory we always seem to...
I've now come to the conclusion that Justin Edinburgh, along with being a toss player back in the day, has to be THE most deluded man in football.
What a weapon. I hope Gillingham go on to have a really shit season just because of that cretin.
Yeah, I was a massive fan of his back then and genuinely wanted him to turn into the player he once threatened he could be if only to benefit our national team. I think he's one of them players that need to be 100% and no less to be really effective, but you could probably count how many times...
To be fair Bournemouth can and do play some really good football. They're a credit to the league and long may they continue to be.
If that doesn't get me a reach around from Bournemouth fans then nothing will!
Harsh sending off that, though expected really. If I got shoved like that by some little twat I can't say I wouldn't have done the same thing if said person then got in my face.
Wilshere had a mare apparently. He has to be the most over-rated player in the country, and has been for years, surely?
Very true!
But back to the game, they were full of confidence coming into this with their away form and the return of Dack. We beat a pretty good team despite only playing for one half. That's the sign of a decent side.
I thought Shalaj looked more than capable when he came on. Fast and...
Oh, and the referee was awful. Gillingham are a decent side and will beat anyone in this league on their day, but they are also cynical, and how they finished with all their players on the pitch is beyond me.
First half we were awful and lucky to only be 1 down. Gillingham looked decent, obviously have some very good players, but we simply didn't get out of the blocks and even a poor side, which they are not, would have gone in leading at the break.
2nd half we were immense, and as soon as we got...
