This. Not sure if I even want to bother watching this weekends other matches or paying attention to Twitter at all. Don't feel like seeing City completely eliminate the gap we had over them and see that shit United side pull within 5 points of us. The asshole licking for both of those sides on Twitter after they win is going to be nauseating. Not expecting any of these "small" or poor sides to take points off of our rivals during this holiday period.
Even though we'll have a game in hand it'll be pretty annoying seeing City level with us while having several of their best players injured and that shit United side only 5 points behind us. Must win.
Wasn't disagreeing about Remy. Just seems like every time I see him post nowadays he's whining about us not playing a bunch of academy players.Fully expecting him to say "Van Gaal would be playing 9 academy players in this match but José would NEVER do that."
Imagine if Hazard, Cesc, or Matić get injured in a League Cup game against Derby that we could almost certainly win without them. Not sure I like it, to be honest.
Google translate isn't great but from what I can gather from the PSG forums they don't seem like a very confident lot. Even see a few claiming that we're stronger than them in literally every area on the pitch. Most of their negativity comes from their complete lack of faith in Laurent Blanc, though.
Exactly. We beat them last season without Matić, Cesc, Costa, and with Hazard going off injured very early in the away match. They'll likely have Zlatan fit this time and Luiz in place of Alex but they're essentially the same team who aren't performing as well as they were last season.
Arsenal, too.Time and time again the likes of Arse, Spuds, and United are clearly second best but manage late, jammy, totally undeserved goals to steal 3 points.
Name one position in our side where a young kid can come in and perform better than a player in our current first team. José isn't just going to throw a kid in there for the hell of it unless he feels like he's better than what we have.When everyone is fully fit there I doubt we'll ever see any of Wilson or McNair or Blackman much in the PL. They'll spend another £150m on foreign stars. I'm sick and tired of seeing people bitching and moaning about "the academy" and "playing the kids." Yes, the notion of playing a kid who we've "made" is romantic, but when you're a manager who is demanded to win the biggest trophies and have a squad full of world class players it's not realistic to have some inexperienced 18 year old kids out there.
So annoying watching United and just shows how shit the league is outside of ourselves and City. A side so poor, yet the rest of the sides are even worse so they keep on winning.
