  1. He may well do but he won't get to that level here. He needs a couple of seasons of regular football.
  2. I expect everyone to work to curb their emissions to the best if their abilities. The Chinese government will know the affect their emissions are having on the area and the health of their citizens. Having an ageing population all dying of respiratory problems (thank god there’re none of them going round at the moment) will probably kick them into action more than any international pressure.
  3. Nobody gets a pass but you can’t just sweep the fact the fact they have an obscenely large population under the rug. I doubt it’s much consolation to the residents of Beijing, Shanghai, New Delhi, Mexico City or Karachi that they are actually less polluted per person than a picturesque village in the Cotswolds.
  4. Supergoat car park eats mountain disappointment ghost jealousy astronaut. I’m willing to bet you can’t provide any evidence that I’m wrong.
  5. The very real and ultimately correct fear that you may be about to die from severe respiratory failure, when you’re barely into your forties, tends to do that to people. When you’re a 35 year old widow and single mother, you probably start to wish you could go back in time and get a free, ten minute vaccination. You may also start to doubt that some of those pictures with text on Facebook are 100% accurate.
  6. It's more than possible to wince in anticipation of something unpleasant happening, even if it doesn't necessarily come to pass. I do it every time Shane Long shapes to shoot.
  7. Article published on Monday with the quote, "died on Friday." I'm fairly sure this was NOT their first thought on the situation.
  8. That’s not a foul, the still frame doesn’t do that justice. Watch the video, his toe barely flicks Neves’ shin pad. Neves sets off after the ball absolutely fine, not even a hobble, then when he sees the ball’s gone straight to Varane, he looks round at the ref and collapses in a heap. I’m not exactly one to side with United and Pogba but Wolves can’t complain about that.
  9. Which 90s, budget supermarket bags are Man Utd wearing?
  10. Training alone because Bournemouth didn’t offer him a contract in the Championship. I’ll pass thanks.
  11. But writing him back on again after one fairly good game against substandard relegation fodder is perfectly rational?
  12. I’m certainly more optimistic for our season than Newcastle’s. They look like they’re reliant on teams like us throwing points at them, rather than ever actually outplaying someone.
  13. Wow, that was… something. 🤷‍♂️
  14. Has he really? Sounds like we’ve been absolutely all over them, played much better and the players have let us down not taking their chances. I very much doubt missing a sitter from two yards was a tactical move by Ralph.
  15. Ings couldn’t score against 9 men in this fixture last season.
  16. Because you will never build anything resembling a settled defence swapping ‘keepers every weekend. I’d have played Forster too but the sad fact is we have two substandard options and we’ve got to make our bed with one of them.
  17. Come on, at least get 7/8. Give the ‘gators something else to talk about more interesting than our 9-0s.
  18. 3-0 at half time against ten men. This could be a cricket score.
  19. Arsenal, please never change.
  20. He’s the delta variant.
  21. Personally, I'm glad some of our regulars moved on and were replaced. I think the squad was looking stale, at least as far as the first team regulars were concerned. If you look at the core of last year's team; Forster/McC, Bertrand, Stephens, Bednarek, Vest, Romeu, JWP, Redmond and Ings have all been here three years plus. Some of them 7 or 8. Man City have just left their all time top scorer go, when many were saying give him another contract. Instead they brought in a £100m player many feel they didn't really need. United got rid of Stam, Sharpe, Cantona, Yorke, Cole and Beckham and kept winning things.
  22. I seem to be in a minority but I wouldn’t play KWP and Liv together. I’d swap them around, keep things fresh and intense. Start one, tell him to go nuts for an hour, then bring on the other to do the same. When you’re other bench options include Long and Elyounoussi, I’d say that’s as good an attacking switch as we can make with our squad.
  23. Ronaldo 4th behind Cahill and Fonte IMO.
  24. Without going into details, it’s probably a good time to take Mendy out of your fantasy team.
