FOOTBALL English Premier League 23/24 Discussion

[BroncsFan]

It is a jobs for the boys situation at United. Totally agree there is too much politics but its not just the foreign players the fans or press get at. They bag the English players all the time. Look at the abuse Maguire is getting ( death threats from fans now ). Rashford copped it, Sancho has, Lingaard has. Phil Jones has got awful abuse. I cant think of a current player tbh at United who hasnt been criticised and slammed. The English press dont discriminate. They dont care who you are. I think Ronaldo for example got off really lightly with the press for acting like a petulant brat and slapping a phone out of a fans hand so its probably not fair to say they give it to the foreign players more than the English ones.

I've been saying it for ages, they are a squad full of good players, but they arent a team.

Recently all and sundry are copping it, but that is because they've been so poor that it can no longer be swept under the rug.

But over the previous 2-3yrs there was very little directed at the English players... it was typically directed at Martial, Pogba, De Gea (constant calls for Henderson to go into goals), Lukaku, Lindelof (but not Harry), etc. when in reality most of the squad has been extremely poor and no one should be getting a reprieve.

Under those situations typically the captain of the team would be coming under heavy scrutiny

He hasnt been really poor until this season, But Maguire has been copping for quite a while now.

Thing is with a lot of the English players i think they put effort in. I suppose when you have the reputation De Gea, Pogba, Martial etc you get more focus. Like Milford i guess when he was here. Big name, big money players are always going to attract more criticism.

As good as Ronaldo and Fernandes can be, I'm glad our Portuguese boys at Wolves are much better characters and team players than those 2.

 

[Wolfie]

United losing 2-0 already. Champions league is a pipe dream for them now. Would be hilarious if they dont get any European football at all.

 

[Wolfie]

2-1 now. Smart finish from Ronaldo.

 

[Wolfie]

Why is Fernandes acting like an idiot there. Nothing wrong with that challenge.

 

[BruiserMk1]

C'mon Gunners!

 

[Wolfie]

United miss a penalty.

 

[Wolfie]

Ronaldo gives the ball away cheaply. Arsenal make them pay. 3-1

 

[Wolfie]

Should have been a red for Fernandes. Awful challenge

Should've been a red for his penalty attempt.

Ronaldo is staying at Man United.

There was suggestion that he would be going to a new club because many feel he won't suit Ten Hag's style of play, but he is staying.

They will be going to market for two strikers when the transfer window opens, so it sounds like Ronaldo is going to be playing from the bench next season.

There's the first mistake. They need to get rid of the egos.

Well at least Liverpool didn't win it.

Lmao, choked? Mate, the fact we were one point off a team as corrupt as City, that has spent countless dollars building their squad is an incredible achievement.

We had no right to get that close to them.

How much have United spent in the last few years? Probably not that far off Citeh ( in fact i think they have spent more ). I dont think you can really say just Citeh are corrupt by themselves though. The so called "big 6" are all as bad as each other in their own way. Their contempt and disgusting behaviour with their break away league last year should never be forgotten. They got away with it with no consequences really which was disgraceful. And dont get me started on how they ALWAYS get decisions go their way. Wolves should have had a penalty for example against the scousers yesterday, and didnt even get a VAR check. The other way around, and its a stonewall penalty.

Sad day for Wolves. Looks like Neves is leaving and i'm gutted. Really hoping he doesnt end up at United.
