I genuinely don't think he has ever really had the heart for it. As soon as he can't buy whatever he wants, or things don't go to plan, he throws a paddy and bottles it. I really believe that.

I think only Shaw has a good reason to be peed off. Miky and Lingard were both appalling in the derby and rightly subbed at half time. Mata's substitution in the Charity Shield was a time wasting exercise which people read too much in to...some said at the time he would be sold by the transfer deadline. Herrera has a point if indeed he is peed off..played well in opening game when Pogba was suspended, then came on and did well in the derby. Basti is a similar situation to Hart's at City, clearly not fancied by Mourinho but he won't leave for another club in Europe.

I didn't like Mourinho publicly berating Shaw after the Watford defeat. I much prefer Fergie's 'siege mentality' and everything stays in-house. I think you can make similar 'clickbait' cases for most managers 'upsetting' players, goes with the territory of the modern squad game...

I think the Miky thing was because they bought him on the back of a magnificent season playing number 10 for BVB, i assume made promises about him playing the same position at Old Trafford and then playing him out of position to accommodate Rooney. Wasn't he dropped completely from the next match day squad too? Co-incidence perhaps.

From memory he was on the bench for the CS and opening game at Bournemouth, then picked up an injury playing for Armenia during the international break, played his first game in the derby where he was subbed at half time and later found to have aggravated the same injury, and he he's been out injured since.

I read that Miky played on the right side of midfield at BD last season, but if he wants to play at No. 10 I'd give him a go as clearly Rooney isn't cutting it there at the moment. I'm expecting Rooney to be dropped for the Leicester game, about time too...

I really don't understand "your team is shite.." posts. What's the point?

Shite yes but it's early and the triple bogey of injuries stadium and newcomers will work itself out. Still not worried- though will always loathe the stadium - it is crap for football.


Zaza though... and Masuaku...? strange bit of business or are they geniuses in (bloody good) disguise(s)?

      Dell Autos is closing tomorrow

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?

      I'd quit this thread, let those who just want to slag Labour off have their own thread.  Your views on the economy are worth debating.  I'm just stunned how there wasn't this level of noise with the last government.  I could try to get some dirt on Badenoch but she is pointless  Whilst I am not a fan of the Daily Mirror at least there is some respite from Labour bashing. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/grenfell-hillsborough-families-make-powerful-36175862 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farage-facing-parliamentary-investigation-36188612
