He's awesome, always liked him a lot. He doesn't seem that hyped though, which to be fair probably suits him just fine.

Haven't you heard? I am not Tempt anymore, you and I are the same person now :sneaky:

Thanks mate. No doubt a poster or two will mock you/me for saying that, but it's kind of you to say (and it's obviously not my place to agree you are right). As for the content of the post - I do find myself scratching my head over various things. It gaslights me into thinking I am the one in...

Imagine being as good at football as him. It's a once, maybe twice or three times at best type of gift in the last 170 years (Maradona and maybe Pele being the others). I often wonder if there's guys out there as talented as Messi but just never became a professional - maybe they are amazing...

Didn't you get the memo? Youtube subs are a major football attribute now, alongside passing, dribbling, heading and finishing.

He actually looks like a slightly better all-round footballer too. The other day he was linking up play well. Hopefully he continues to improve in that respect as I take no pleasure being negative and saying players are donkeys in general play. It would please me if he could become a quality...

Yeah, I'd argue that a lot of Pele's friendlies against strong European and Brasilian teams were far more competitive than Ronaldo's games in Saudi Arabia or more pertinently against minnows in international qualifying, where he pads his stats massively. People are just ignorant of football from...

Yes I agree with all of that, totally the same as stuff I have said over the years, stuff Don on here has said etc. I would only add the caveat that he only really plays a more settled, controlled game for Portugal in qualifiers against minnows - he reverts to his usual chaos ball in the...

Also, Fernandes is a number 10, with none of the abilities a number 10 should possess. He can't dribble, he can't link play, he can't protect the ball, he doesn't take care, he's poor when pressed, terrible on the half-turn, he doesn't just do 'good footballer' things throughout a 90 minutes...

Yeah that is fair enough. They're top players in the sense that competing for a top four is still better than 99 percent of players in the world. But when you compare them to the elite, they've very very average. The problem United fans have is they're in such a bad state that they have got...

Very true. They can maybe play that way if they have an extreme level of attack. But they do not have that and likely will not, given the competition for top players and the preference of top players to go to RM and Barcelona (and better PL teams than United). Another thing that is overlooked...

Other than calling them 'great players' (I think they're both very mediocre, especially Rashy, who'd had one or two good seasons in 8) I totally agree. I have been saying it for years - these two guys thrive in transitional football and actively prevent United from even trying to play a...

Was talking about it with Loki, and said the following to him. Of course they can't be written off, but their identity as a club is their biggest barrier for me - even when Barca and Spain were in their prime United fans looked down on possession football. It's the same problem England had when...

Bellingham is actually a good player, and to be fair, despite having technical deficiencies can have a great career because of his athleticism (even if I do generally consider him overrated). But this is the easiest prediction ever. It's frankly amazing that they keep fooling people into...

I have the odd team I have a soft spot for but would never claim to support them as I am not gonna start supporting a club as an adult (as my early adulthood I still supported Rangers). Not just gonna pick a team to support, wouldn't feel organic or natural. Tbh my main tribal interest in...

No, never mate. Well maybe when I was a kid, and believed in stuff like nationalism etc. Frankly, a lot of Scottish people are fannies (same as many other nations), so I am not gonna pretend I have solidarity with them just because the national team is playing. Fuck that. I don't have a group...

Yes mate, to be honest I am not bothered. I don't care much about Scotland, not particularly patriotic. Plus I dislike a lot of the players in the team and can't stand Steve Clarke and his prehistoric, ultra-negative football.

He does that all the time Birdy. You can't have been listening to him. Just as one example he still claims United should have won at the Emirates last season - a game Arsenal clearly deserved to win. Pretty sure he babbled some nonsense about United's offside goal at Brighton being the...

Anyway, I have said my piece. The nature of being a mid-table team is you'll win some, draw some and lose some. It's literally the definition of mid-table - inconsistent results. Not so good you accrue most points available and not so bad you hardly get any. So no doubt the next time United get...

Pretty much gave it in the Man United thread.
