Not hard to be a Man U fan at all.That I don't share your sense of "humour" is irrelevant.I didn't say humour was non existent I said it was a "rare commodity". You spend a lot of time undertaking petty bickering and have admitted many times you "Hate MU" as a club so not sure why you are on this thread.....boredom ? You obviously enjoy the mental gymnastics that toing and froing entails. I would rather watch repeats of Fawlty Towers.

Some of them are genuinely witty, others come out with outrageous statements which make me laugh, others are funny without even knowing it. @Bredbury Blue doesn't come under any of those brackets.

Sparkles Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Last night win over Norwich was hardly convincing but some positive signs.The front 3 Rashford ,Martial and James showed finally some combination and movement. Sadly VAR was the main talking point. The first penalty wasn't a penalty in a million years.If a referee can't see that from a few metres away he shouldn't be on the pitch and the decisions from the video room are equally confusing. Its killing the joy of people attending the games and they should maybe scrap it and bring it back when they can sort out some consistency. The penalty attempts were poor ,both hit at a comfortable height for the keeper and again for the first the keeper was way off his line but VAR and the ref didn't see it. But to positives Mc Tominay again has done enough for me to convince that he is a permanent fixture in the best side,even he gave away the ball for their goal and is a potential leader . Big lad 6 ft 4" now and physically very strong. Fred showed some improvement but is still giving the ball away far too much. 4 games in 10 days ,going to be some sore bodies if they don't get more players back. Pogba for one is apparently way off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's quite a 'glass half empty' review for you Sparkles. Apart from the sloppy ending I was encouraged by the confidence running through the team. Give or take Pogba / Shaw / Bailly that could be our first XI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a better effort but lets not forget Norwich fielded far from their best team through injuries.I get back to my comment weeks ago .Its going to take at least 3 summer windows to get a team capable of being contenders. The first window has been good Maguire,Wan Bassaka and James have been brilliant and at age where they will hopefully be around for a while but still need at least one more creative midfielder (2 if Pogba moves on) which I think he will and at least one more striker to be anywhere near and that doesn't allow for any more long term injuries. Shaw ,Dalot , Matic, Pogba, Bailly, Tueznabe no return dates I've heard of. Smalling is apparently playing well for Roma,best thing he did was to get away and hopefully come back a better and wiser player Edited October 30, 2019 by Sparkles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I come from, it's also normal to say I hate, Rhubarb, Liver, Spinach, Rain, Cold and a plethora of other trivial things. I have an intense dislike for Man United mainly due to the grief I got from their supporters when I was growing up (yeah because we were mainly garbage) but also because my mate got hit with a dart at Maine Rd thrown from the away (United) end.

Bet you wish James was English. He's very similar to Raheem Sterling at the same age. The question will be whether he can add all the things Sterling has to his game. Forgetting everything else, Pep's biggest achievement in the English game is probably the development of Sterling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadilo Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 (edited) If he was English I would be embarrassed by his antics. It’s bad enough having your Country’s captain doing it without anyone else adding to the numbers. Ability wise I see a lot of pace but not much else. Maybe he will develop but OLS ain’t no Pep so we will see Edited November 4, 2019 by Kadilo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
