One of the best I have seen at Old Trafford was Van Nistelrooy. Incredible eye for goal and I’ll bet he was horrible to play against.

He stands on his toe !
Not much but Thant’s enough now apparently.
But to book him without even having a second look is very poor imo.
Isn’t it the same VAR ref that gave a pen yesterday.

Always admired Mark Hughes thought he was a great player.
Back in my hockey days, 20 odd years or so ago before concussion was talked about, I played an away game where one of our players got a ball at full whack on his temple. Sickening hit, he dropped. Game stopped, he may or may not have been out for a few seconds but he was certainly dazed. After a couple of minutes he declared himself fine to carry on. He played the rest of the game okay. On the journey back, 3 hours, he started to go pale, and woozy. We got him home and his wife, a nurse, took him to a and e. He had a hairline fracture of the skull. Speaking to him afterwards, weeks, he had no recollection of the match. He remembers the journey down but nothing else. He would have passed a concussion test but was absolutely concussed. He was lucky,
This was a real experience for me. Any proper whack, get them off, get them an x-ray. You don't mess with the brain.

Scary really you never know the day.
I got knocked out last year by a golf ball and still don’t remember anything until I was in the ambulance.

He didn't have to, I thought it was a clear dive.

Happened to me , was playing in a festival some cocky little spanner decided to reverse hit on grass ( wasn’t allowed ) , ball flew up cracked me on the head , I went down. I was assessed and put in a neck brace for 5 mins but then played again. When we got home about 2 days later was getting headaches , doc said it was just a bit of bruising , stayed the same for another 2 days , went to another doctor who sent me to hospital , had a very small hairline crack and was also suffering from a bit of concussion and i had been driving for a few days. It’s no surprise the first doctor left the RAF Surgery

time for us to stop pointing the finger at the manager and start pointing it at the board, the management of contracts, player acquisition/disposal and the players!
squad isnt close to being good enough, attitude and effort levels are awful, there are some that need removing and removing fast imo, get rid or arteta, whos the next lamb to the slaughter with this group?

without overthinking it:
why did we pay 25m+ for sailba, loan him back out last year, fail to loan him back out this year but not include him in our squads. at St Etienne he was rated above Fofana who is ripping up trees for Leicester
why did we sign an aging Willian on a 3 yr contract on a rumoured 250k a week
why did we give the clown Luiz a contract extension
why did we loan then sign an out of contract injured Cedric
why did we not take the 20m+ offer for Maitlin Niles if we dont intend to use him
why sign aubam to a big contract then play him out of position
why did we not manage to offload any of the deadwood on the books? xhaka, ozil, mustafi, sokratis, kolasinac, lacazette for starters (i know i know no one wants them on their exorbitant wage demands)
thats just the last year or so, let alone some of the utter mismanagement that went on the years before (mainly buying the above deadwood!)
can only hope to see a complete rebuild at some point with the above removed, and more of the youngsters given proper chances before more additions can be brought in

You could have been talking about Man United there. That’s exactly how I feel about the goings on at Old Trafford.
Before any managerial changes at Old Trafford are made the club have to recruit a director of football or CEO with some nouse. The recruitment of players, with a handful of notable exceptions, has been chaotic since 2012. And the failure, every transfer window, to move the deadwood on has been unbelievable. How the likes of Jones and Lingard are still there beggars belief.
As one pundit said in the summer, the best transfer window signing United could have made would have been Edwin Van der Sar. A CEO who knows football, knows the club and understands the Premier League.

weve had a rather David Dein sized hole for more than 10 years now
We’re in a very similar position but I do still feel Solskjaer is worth standing by.
The problems started the day Ferguson left, primarily because David Gill went at the same time. An ageing squad was left behind which only won the league because of Van Persie’s goals and the fact that 2012/13 was a less than vintage Premier League season.
In comes Moyes and the very first thing he does is move on all of Ferguson’s backroom staff. A massive error of judgement, and one which triggered a steady decline.
Since then there have been false dawns and the biggest scattergun approach to recruitment I have seen in years. Big name signings being brought in with no apparent thought how they would fit in. Di Maria a Van Gaal player? Really?
We have men who know about commerce but nothing about football who have far too much influence on the footballing side. We need the right structure above the manager, and that side of things is shambolic. Has been for far too long.

At least you have the semblance of a decent squad with a few additions (and one major leaver), you have 8 or 9 of a first team, we have 4 or 5 (and im being generous)

Projecting only shows I'm right. Fans of my club, know we are crap and will always be crap, the best we'll get is a cup win maybe.
A large chunk of Arsenal fans are delusional, believing that they're a power house. They haven't one the PL for 17 years, and haven't made the top 4 in 5 years. You are a better than average side, mismanaged at most levels. Just accept it and you'll be likeable to the rest of the league, and happier!
(also we're above you in the table, and we are crap
)
