This is just it, frustrates the hell out of me how many times these VAR decisions end up costing teams.

several seasons ago they were gifted/stole at least 19 points (I think it was 19)

the corruption in their favour by PGMOL is madness

I should have put my quotes here instead of the transfer thread, but ManUre online fans have turned on him in just one game after gloating that they took our best player.

It wasn't only the ref + VAR w/ that ridiculous call. I'm also disappointed with Wolves; you can't dominate a game like they did today and not score at least a goal. That's a very worrying sign for their manager to think about--they are prob expecting a lot from Cunha, but his injury record is worrying.

Yeah this was the time for United to lose points at home to a non-competing side. They now have a week to up their fitness levels and improve their game. 😕 Hopefully a week is not enough because they look "not ready."

Reassuring apathy signs from Ten Hag tho.

Casemiro had one of his worst games since he joined the shitedabbers

most shots on target allowed by Manure at OT since 2005

Totally normal for over 30 players... he will need an additional couple of weeks to get to a decent level esp w/ his build. You'd expect the younger folks to be flying high tho, which was not the case. They looked very unfit.... like physically unfit. Mount too.

Should make us think about these long-term contracts doesn't it. Any flop with these contracts will become a nightmare to deal with for years to come. Kepa for example. Isn't Bakayoko still our player eh?

Man United fans protest against Mason Greenwood's potential reintegration into the squad ahead of their first game of the season... with 'spineless' club told 'not to leave the decision up to the women's team'

One banner said -'Don't leave the decision up to the women's team you spineless motherless fuckers''

Aside from the players selected above,
I would also take Mount but depending on squad balance -- point here is nuanced and demands a long text. Too busy at work for that now.
I'd take Anthony too... I don't think he's good enough yet, but he's got skill, power, pace, and lacks decisions. If, and is a big if, he can improve on that mental aspect, I think he could become a very interesting player.

nope

but Sarr still is

haha took me a second to remember him... now I'm trying to forget.

Yeah these super long contracts are a new thing... it shows a lot of confidence in the scouting, but it's scary as any player could have his career changed by injuries and whatnot. Especially younger players, because they are still developing physically--some still bulking up--and it's difficult to predict how the joints/muscles will adapt. R9 at inter was the extreme case of that.
