What a dopey thing to do regardless of whether it was deserved. At his age that could be a career ender.

No need for the "fans" being such eejits. If they can dish out the digs then they shouldn't start crying if Jose correctly tells them to shut it.Evra kicks them in the head

I almost dunno if I'd give Mkhi a smiley. I've found him quite frustrating overall. He can be great but he can be bloody kak. Last year in Europe he was great but the league was blotchy. This year great start but currently blotchy. If we do get Greizmann for RW I wouldnt be against moving Mkhi on and putting Mata central. Mata's consistency makes him more valuble imo, and its not like Mkhi is a youngster who'll become consistent.

Personally I would be doing away with both of them for the future.

Matic

----Herrera/Fellaini

Pogba---
AG/MR

Martial/Rashford

Lukaku

One man sitting in Matic with Pogba given the free role and Herrera being the water carrier. Well balanced defensively and offensively.

You can plug Mata or Miki in to the right wing position if needs be but I don't see them being key players in a couple of years.

Pogba will make a difference to both Miki and Lukaku when he is back and the number 10 will look better again but it is not something I expect to see once the right wing position is sorted properly.

Cowardly effort from Evra. At least Cantona went all in.

I'm suprised it took until the 8th post for them to try and get some attention.

It’s quite sad that Evras career will end this way, things have changed since cantona got nine months and a few weeks community service, Evra will never play again.

I'm not Evras biggest fan, but I am enjoying the hatred in that thread.

My views on Evra will be perfectly consistent with my views on the Cantona incident.

Some people just need kicking.

I think its actually funny. Did zidane no harm going out with a head butt. Some people deserve a good kicking

Really immature attitude shown throughout the last few pages. While I don’t doubt that the ‘victim’ had the IQ of a Brussels sprout and his behavior matched this, nobody ‘deserves a kicking’.

It doesn’t prove or help anything and will only serve to end Evras career in disgrace. There’s also a large enough target on a human head which if you connect with sweetly enough, you could kill a man stone dead. Given that Evra is a professional footballer and he was acting in a moment of rage, the likelihood of hitting this ‘sweetspot’ increases.

I’ve lost so much respect for him both as a player and as a person.

If he was in the states he could have pulled a glock out, shot him and got a medal for bravery.

He could have killed him

The likelyhood of a normal person hitting the sweet spot must be small then because looking at the replays evra only made contact with his arm.

I agree it is shameful or whatnot but he ain't a united player anymore so we can leave the shame to someone else and laugh from the distance as others rage over it and try link it to us.

The thing was it was cowardly as well and he didnt really need to get involved. Had the barrier and his team mates between himself and the crowd. Threw a kick over the barriers and then retreated.

Deserves everything he gets now.

How is it cowardly, he isn't a super hero to engage 10-20 fans and fight them all on his own.

He threw a kick at a fan and immediately retreated and left his teammates to deal with the fans who were now even more riled up. Pathetic.

Are grown adults really laughing at this? Or perhaps laughing more so at how Liverpool fans try to make this relevant to them which is admittedly amusing.

I wonder if he will go on to manage Real Madrid now

You have no idea what led to that happening. What was said but i cant imagine it was pleasant considering all other players were having verbals with fans before evra got involved or match even started. So what, he kicked someone. He will get his punishment and we move on. No big deal

It’s not acceptable to kick someone, no matter what was said. Especially a fan of his own team. There will be no moving on from this. It’s the end of his career.

I really do worry about your attitude to violence if you think kicking someone in the head is something that can be brushed off as ‘so what’.

He can also say goodbye to any sponsorship or image deals he had as well as a possible role as Manchester United ambassador which a lot of retired players fall into. As well as his football career, this moment of sheer stupidity will cost him millions and affect his retirement plans.

Telling the way some people think the trust group are "crying".

They've been working with the club for a few years now on things like atmosphere, exchanging ideas, implementing changes and suggestions and what not. It's a connection between the club and the matchday going crowd. The club meet with groups like the Trust multiple times during the year discussing numerous topics and the likes. It's only made paper news because the manager has made it headline worthy news and it being twisted as some showdown or some nonsense.

It's called being an adult. The manager has moaned about the atmosphere and had a few pops at the fans, and the group in return are looking to see what the issues are and work collaboratively to try improve things or address issues.

I work in a toxic atmosphere in my workplace, not a hypothetical, it's actually a terrible environment where a lot of people don't like each other. I don't just tell people who complain about it to shut their noise, because I'm a critical cog in the machine that does amazing work and keeps critical infrastructure online by a thread. I sit down and hear the issues and work with people to try address it, or put in place some change or measure to try improve it. And I'm not even a senior manager.

Oh my god what an outrage, how dare people behave like adults and want to actually address a problem

Get a grip...

Dont be silly!!

First of all he didnt kick him in the head, he kicked his arm.

Second of all, Eric cantona made millions on the back of his kung fu kick. Still has loads of sponsorship deals and is still huge at Nike.

Zidane heaebutted a player in a world cup final, he is now manager of real madrid.

Roy Keanes tackle on haaland, pre meditated, wrote about it his his book, said he had no regrets, was kept man utd captain, loads of sponsorship deals and is now ireland assistant manager and a pundit for ITV

I think you are being very over dramatic on this.

Evra will move on, will get loads of tv interviews, maybe do a book, tv work and wouldnt be surprised to see that he is a coach very shortly

This is a marvellous post.

Can you tell me what universe you live in, how it connected to ours to allow you communicate with us, and how I can get to this paradise of peace and love?


Think a lot will depend on what was said. I've only seen the video, but my first reaction, for Patrice Evra to kick a fan in the head, was a certain something was said, and if so, all power to him.

Tom.D.BJJ

He's not called mad Pat for nothing.  I think he could potentially be charged with assault, silly fecker.

Mitch Connor

Ron Atkinson is employed by the club despite his description of Desailly.

Paper talk saying Shaw will be allowed go on loan in January.

Januzaj has found himself back in the Belgian Squad. Anyone any news on how he is getting on at Sociedad since he left?

Think I read that Jose has settled his tax evasion case, paid the fine and that should be the end of that.
