She wanted to meet up for a Millwall Swansea bash at Wembley for a FA Cup Final.


Well that's not to happen now.


;)

I quite like Paddy Barclay as a journalist and I like this piece reminding Scholes and Ferdinand it wasn't always fantastic when they played for United:


http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/patrick-barclay-ferdinand-and-scholes-should-remember-what-they-achieved-after-failing-in-europe-a3133246.html

I dunno, I think it's easy to cherry pick from history to make a point.

Scholes is right, the current team is average. Despite failing in Europe in those examples Barclay cites, you couldn't say those teams was average. Utd won the CL in 2008, and made the final in '09 and '11, losing only to one of the best ever club sides. The current team is light years away from Barca now. You also have to remember that Fergie's hands were tied in the transfer market at the time, so when we sold Ronaldo for ?80m, we ended up buying Valencia for ?16m because there was ''no value in the market''. LVG has had no such constraints. As well as average, LVG has turned Utd into a joyless, souless team, something you could never level at a Fergie side, win or lose. For me, his constant use of 2 defensive minded holding midfield players, is the crux of the problem. This system which he's used all season tells me he's more concerned with not conceding than scoring goals. Perhaps he doesn't trust the defence. I don't think there's any coincidence that the best spell of football we've played under LVG, was last season when he was forced to play 4-3-3, with only Carrick in the DM position, using Herrera's energy to drive the team forward. For some reason he's culled the club of most of the attack minded players. He's either sold or loaned out at least 8 and only bought in two, Depay and Martial, both very young and inexperienced at this level. You only had to look at the Utd bench for the Wolfsberg game to see the paucity of attack minded players we have at the club. To me it's careless and a dereliction of duty to have let so many players go and not replace them. If he continues in a similar vein until the end of the season then I expect he will go then. He's got time and a transfer window to address these issues, but I'm not holding my breath, he's not known as the Iron Tulip for nothing...

Me neither!! I thought Giroud and Campbell had great games, and Ramsey is far better playing centrally than out wide. Probably be out next round but hey ho.

Yeah, credit where it's due. Excellent stuff from Le Arse last night. Having Ramsey back must be a massive lift for the team. Excellent hat-trick from Giroud and you'd hope that would put all those silly Walcott fantasies about being a centre forward back in the box where they belong.

I missed this and totally agree. Saw him at Upton park, maybe 4 years ago? Almost impossible for a defender to mark.

Manchester Evening News reporting that Ryan Giggs would be open to leaving Utd for Swansea job.

From a Utd perspective it makes sense to me for several reasons...


He can't be enjoying how LVG sets up Utd. His lack of comments speaks volumes.

With his close ties to Neville and Scholes through Salford, their criticism of LVG must be awkward for him.

Lining him up as Utd's next manager is a massive risk without any managerial experience...

Excellent performance from Spurs tonight and a Lamela hat-trick. We're now at long last starting to see what a player he can be for us. His work rate as with all the young lads who came in tonight was phenomenal. It goes to show if you really put in the effort and work hard the breaks will come. And he speaks the lingo too. Woo!

Walcott will never be a centre forward, striker yes but never a centre forward

Some interesting stats I learned today. Bournemouth players run more than any other team in the league. When they beat Chelsea, Chelsea ran more than they had ever done according to John Terry.


Injuries are the result of a previous injury and secondly due to a change in training regime for new players. That second one you would think clubs would work out. Every player is different and their needs are different. It would appear with all the money in the game that some clubs haven't worked that out.


Man United's goalscorer today was taken off because...........please complete the sentence.

And forget about the stats. Tottenham round around a lot too and I'm sure our fitness had helped but its goal that win matches.

I could do this all day :)

Fergie always said that young players were inconsistent.

They also haven't learnt game management, how to play out a game from a winning position.

Arsenal on the other appear to be doing just that, another slick, professional performance...

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
