Palmer's brilliant, but come on. Yamal is definitely more talented. And I think Palmer is England's best player (alongside an on-form Kane). There aren't actually that many attacking players I like more than Palmer right now, but Yamal is one of them. It's nothing against Palmer who I believe is...

Yeah I never get it when people compare Ancelotti favourably to Pep. Most of that really seems like a popularity contest and perception - Ancelotti seems a cool, fashionable character who isn't flustered often. Pep is a headcase with a nickname like the 'bald fraud'. But Ancelotti proved that...

They've been playing like that for years to be fair - all the way back to the early days of the Madeira rapist and maybe before. They're like a far better version of Man United in that they get by on attacking firepower, vibes and moments rather than generally controlling games. Not every game...

Proper wrong 'un, that lad.

Thanks for the late exact prediction Real, you useless cunts.

Amazing, hold on now (especially as I predicted 1-1)

Anyway I can't be bothered arguing mate. It's after 10pm and I have a few things to do before bed. I am confident in what I say but time will tell. This has been a bit heated but you know I like you as a poster. I rate your knowledge and evaluative skills well - my only issue with you is you're...

Mate, you are telling me to be more objective... I have predicted Man United's struggles and failures every step of the way since 2013. I will be wrong eventually (unless I change and see progress) but I have not been wrong yet. Now some of that was bias true, but if they were good I would...

Look at Man City's squad, the players they constantly turn over and the quality they replace them with. Do you think Zirkzee, Ugarte, Mazraoui and de Ligt can ever compete at that level? I don't think you need to be a rocket scientist to see they're not elite level players and never will be. De...

Who says he was the standout player in Serie A last season? You? And what relevance does that hold. You're contradicting yourself now because earlier in the thread you're calling other leagues 'farmers leagues' and going on about the PL being different gravy and a huge step up, yet now you're...

We will have to agree to disagree. I am not a fan of giving players 'time' when it's abundantly obvious to me it won't change. You'd probably have advocated giving Schneiderlin, Fred, Herrera 'time' in the past. Zirkzee is a good example - I think you rate him so much because he's a...

Also, you don't need to 'wait until the third season ends' to do an analysis. Football isn't about letting things get worse and then finally making a decision - use some foresight. It's obvious they're fucked with him there (and without him to be fair) and it doesn't take a full season to know...

It isn't knee-jerk ffs. They've been wank for 18 months! Look at them getting outplayed most games and their record over the last 16-17 games in the league. Nothing is changing. I and others have predicted this, have predicted the poorness of their signings etc - look what I said about de Ligt...

Yeah, 'love' was a bad comment, fair. But you rate him higher than many, that's what I meant. His first season flattered him a little on the metrics, but yes, of course it was far better than last season and this season. There were still signs there in my opinion though that it was ready to...

Either way, to reiterate, I do not agree with attacking people on here for their football opinions in general unless they're trolling, whether it's people attacking Birdy or Birdy replying in kind. Someone like Rassvet is different as his only aim is to instigate and he has zero interest in...

I don't feel bad for their fans either - MOST of them are deluded cunts who overrate their players, underrate those of other teams, and are wrong about absolutely everything. They deserve this too.

You could see progress with Klopp and Arteta; you can only see regression and absolute amateur hour with Ten Hag.

Also, birdy IT ISN'T KNEE-JERK or an 'agenda' (the most abused word on football forums). United have been wank for donkey's years, and have looked abysmal under Ten Hag for at least 18 months now. It's not like they've been dominating teams and today is a result out of nowhere. That's a bad...

I don't agree with the mobbing, and I think your heart is in the right place. I do like you and think you add better than just saying 'he's shit/he's good' or the likes. But I do stand by my belief that you put way too much stock in the metrics, when you need a balance of metrics and trusting...

Also, to whoever wrote that it's heartbreaking that United are struggling. Why is it heartbreaking? They're a cunt of a club who ruled through the terror of a classless bully in the 90s and 2000s, and never showed any grace or humility whatseover. Arrogance and hubris runs through that club and...
