Just seen the Newcastle penalty, and has highlighted another change in how the attitude of the game has change in the last 20 years. Years ago everyone would have said "what a cheat" he left he legs and dived, now it's a stonewall penalty
Yes I would say anyone who delibaretly drags his foot into the keeper is late and should be a free kick to the keeper.

dont see it as a stonewall at all, falls into the horrendous category where the ex pros fawn over someone earning a penalty
 
Well, I did call it that Everton would beat United. I have never hated a bunch of United players as much as I do right now, and they've angered me for quite a few years. Absolute bunch of wasters. Salaries should be performance based, and therefore they should not get paid a single penny.

I cry when I see Matic on the pitch. Bruno Fernandes is quite simply abysmal. He might as well just continually kick it back to the opposing keeper any time United get possession. He somehow thinks he is going to play the killer ball every time he gets it. And, any time the ball gets to a United player, they take umpteen touches. Clearly they've no intent of moving the ball quickly with nice 2 touch football.
 
9-0 watch on again at Southampton :o

Horrid looking Arsenal side today again, Xhaka at left back, Soares at right back and Lokonga left in central midfield alone. January decisions coming home to roost sadly

Wish you'd told me that before I'd picked them for Last Man Standing. 2 weeks running Brighton have done me :mad::mad::mad:

Totally agree, so much so that I didn’t even know the score until a mate sent me a text. Golf this morning, then after a quick pint I went straight on to other stuff this afternoon. I lost interest in this season weeks ago.

It’s not the results, or the fact we’re not competing for any silverware. It’s the manner in which United are going about their business and their football. It’s just turgid, depressing dross.

I’m a lifelong fan, have been a club member for years, but I won’t be wasting my time or money going back to Old Trafford until I see some sign that the club are putting a structure in place which supports what goes on out on the pitch, and that starts to filter down into the performances. I haven’t felt such gloom about my club for over 40 years.

I pay my money to be entertained, even if that ends in defeat. Watching United now just leaves me feeling cheated and angry.
