Why did it take Rashford so long to come on?!

England needs to get their s*** together, this game has shown the world the Premier League is a joke. The commentators were pulling no punches either, they were ripping England apart.

Luckily they've already got 3 million signatures on a petition to ignore this result and play agai... oh, wrong Brexit.

Because Hodgson would rather play Sterling :txbrolleyes:
 
Alli should have been dropped after the first game

Kane shouldnt have started yesterday

Clyne should have played ahead of walker

Sturridge should never play wide, either play uptop or drop him

Sterling... anyone with half a brain would see he shouldnt even been at Euros. i would have taken townsend over him

finally Kane taking set pieces, utterly ridiculous. worse than Jones taking corners for us.. Hodgson is clueless

His biggest problem was he picked his team based on qualifiers from months and months ago, didnt want to let go and the fact he was deluded about all the group game performances meant he didnt do anything.

England must be thankful they did not have to face France. :grin:

I dunno. I think they might have enjoyed a chance to play with the big boys, and they almost pulled off a huge upset against Iceland to get there.
 
Probation. What does it even means? Community service, report to some dude every day?

If so, I am sure many will not be scared into attempt tax fraud. It seems rich, famos always seems to get away crimes comon folks will be harshly punish for. Look at Oscar. 6 years for murder!! Then Hilary. What a corrupted world we live in.
 
The new Premier League season is fast approaching :banana:

Saw that pre-season United friendly against Wigan the other day. Seems they have already improved on what i thought they failed on in the last few seasons. We moved the ball alot quicker with one and two touch passing. There seemed to be more movement off the ball....but we still wnt backwards a bit too much for my liking.

Miktarian looked good though. Very mobile, tricky, change of pace, direct, creative. He looks like he could take to the league like a duck to water.

Was also great to see Luke Shaw back playing in a United shirt. Hopefully this unlucky lad can keep injury free this season and get his promising career back on track.

Think we play Club America today, right? in that Chinese pre-season tournament. Hopefully Zlatan might feature.
 
as far as i know United dont play again until the 22nd against dortmund

Ibra isnt even in training yet so i doubt he will play until galatasaray game in Sweden
 
FA Community Shield tomorrow with Leicester City v Man United. Kick of at 4pm BST.

That means we are 1 week away from the Premier League kick-off. How I have missed thee.

:bow::bow:
 
Got my Ibra home kit in the post today. I am sooooo ready for this season after all the downs of last. Glory, glory!
 
Good game against Leicester. Other than the Fellani mistake it wasn't bad. Bailly will be good for us going forward, we need better ball control though.
 
Most excited I have been in a year. Gotta be patient and give this new aquad and coach some time to gel. This match I saw more team than "me", dynamics like that are a step in the right direction.

I thought it was terrible. Still going backwards or sideways far too often. Still passing the ball far to slow. Ibra might as well have joined the fans in the stand for the first half.

I know it is still very early but based on that match not much has changed at United.
 
Arsenal's back line already getting hit with the injury bug...no Koscielny, Mertesacker or Gabriel for the first game with Liverpool. The lack of big name signings this summer is pretty frustrating too. Our biggest needs are a central defender and a striker and Wenger signed a midfielder...and we have a glut of those. Good to see Carzola back in form though.

No point buying players just for the sake of it. But I can see it being a concern when you see what the other big teams are buying.

There is still plenty of time though. And going by the rumours Arsenal seem to be going after Icardi.

I'll believe it when I see it...so many rumors this summer that wound up not being true.

Petty as f*** this guy!

First competitive game and he's already not happy lol

Give it some time mate ^^
 
Prediction of the BPL. Arsenal started off bright, in 1-2 positions. In mid winter or early spring, a series of injury hit, then the bubble burst & they eventually end up 3-4.

When someone tells you Arsenal won't win the Premier League because of injuries

Menace,

At least say this...wasn't it nice to see a manager standing on the sidelines for once? :crazy:

It's going to be very hard for me personally to warm up to Jose' after hating him at Chelski those years but I did like his lineup and subs this first game. And best of all some emotions that will carry over onto the pitch.

If it wasn't Mourinho it would have been.
 
I still hate Chelsea because that douche Costa is still there, but, I now hate Man U more because as Mourinho is the devil.
