And, I think it was spunking up all that cash on Antony that led to Utd’s board not following through with the signing of Gakpo, which they had looked to have had wrapped up in the summer window and were still reported as favourites to close again towards the winter window?

I strongly suspect that Frank Spencer has been secretly pulling the strings for the past decade.

- They paid money and a huge salary for Casemiro. The total outlay on Casemiro would probably be 82 million (including Salary and Wages). That’s more than transfer fees for Grav and Mac.

I agree that on paper, they do have more than enough players to play 3 at the back.
But not everything is about fitting a formation, it would be too easy. There’s actual football being played, quality, cohesion, level of physical capacity that is usually built in pre-season, style in phases of the game, etc.
If they would hire a new manager tomorrow who would play 4 at the back, would things radically improve? I doubt it. The one who last did got fired.
It’s just lazy talk, that 3 at the back is the main problem.
There’s work to be done and lots of damage has already happened this season.
Was looking at what are their lowest table finishes. Funny to find out that they finished 13th in our 89/90 title winning season.
If it’s about the same this season, I bloody hope it doesn’t mean also the end for us and their return back to the top…
Joking. 
They’ll be back sooner or later and hopefully we remain up there also. Would love a direct battle between us two.
Editing. 60M as transfer fee for Casemiro, 350k per week as wages. That’s equating to another 67m on a 4 year contract. That’s 127m for a dud.

12 minutes of Goldbrige, I can’t stand even 20 seconds. Sorry mate.
People filming themselves watching football and other people watching them how they watch football.
No wonder the world’s gone mad.

First time i’ve watched a full highlight reel from him. I’m being lazy this AM.
I was hooked by the title to be honest.
It’s his little rant in the last minute that’s probably the only bit worth watching.
That said, going to a cemetery and getting some gravestones to improve their defending at corners is kinda funny.

Rashford’s back in the squad tonight. What a mess
Hope he will scores a hat-trick and they lose 3-4.

Twitter Rumor. Not anything confirm yet.
Line up will be interesting with no Fernandes and no Ugarte. They might really struggle in midfield, leading to a lot of the quick through balls off turnovers that Isak thrives on

That’s why the lineup has leaked early.

Not before we’ve won about another 5 PL titles first, thanks. Still feel the sting of that 08-09 title fight and that bloody Macheda goal in the run in.
Yeah of course, let’s hope we can not only get to 20-20 this season, but add a few before they’re really back.
Our ratio isn’t great, but hey…
Say what you want about Goldbridge , but at least he’s genuine. Watching him being tortured by the team he loves , while being funny with it at the same time is pure joy to me. He also knows a bit about football too.

Even funnier watching them slowly but surely realise that Ineos might not be what they wanted and needed.

Quickly on that general format, I genuinely admire or better to say wonder how the hell people manage to be active online while they’re watching football.
Either talking or, even more harder, writing on forums, social media groups, chats or wherever. It’s too chaotic, what is there even to discuss about in a quality way. Just a bunch of people talking at the same time. By the time you maybe even write something constructive, multiple things happen on the pitch.
Especially if it’s something you’re passionate about, either simply being a fan of your club who wants to grasp every detail about it or also make a living (those fan channels or whatever) because of it.
They go into details about the game, so really, there needs to be a good amount of focus I guess if they want to talk about things in a quality way.
Honestly, I think people like Goldbridge (don’t know specifically him or someone else) miss a lot of stuff in front of their nose because of all the madness around it.
Not everyone is the same of course, but there’s no way I could do it.
I can watch it among other people in a bar and have little conversations while watching the game, but I go totally offline when our games are on. Wifi/internet off, only there for emergency calls.
