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)?

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
