General Premier League Thread 2018-19

Utopia Parkway

Man Utd

Some battle it’s going to be for 3rd and 4th.

If Chelsea win their game in hand there will be 3 points between the four sides.

Looks out of his depth. How much was he?

It was a very questionable transfer. I remember Jose saying a few months before he arrived:

"A team without a Brazilian is not a team"

"I worked with Brazilian players in every team I coached, and I enjoyed them a lot, everything they can give and also every problem they can create!

“But honestly, I enjoyed a lot, and who knows we can have a Brazilian in the squad next year. I don't believe it will be Willian, because Chelsea won't make it possible.”

Then we came in he never had any real intent on playing him. It seemed to be a signing from the cash kings at the club to feed more into the Brazilian market. That is all I can really make of it? It surely wasn't that much of a footballing decision.

I am not an ABU "bro", I support Utd,

If you want to defend his signing and see him as a long term player, that is your perogative.

It's nice to see the concerned committee find their way back to the surface after going missing since the Merseyside derby.

Concerned committee # 2 was MIA from Aug-Dec

One key stat conspicuously absent from that list...

To be fair I thought he was decent and the peno was v soft. Bigger error was the poor pass he played just before where he could have put someone in down the left.

So one possible mistake justifies the nonsense posted about him here?

Fair play for acknowledging his good performance beyond what you say was an error.

I mean there are other utd players today who should be judged far harsher than Fred is today. Even Arsenal players for that matter. Actually thought Utd were the better side beyond the finishing. Not taking away anything from Arsenal they were more clinical ultimately.

As I said easy scapegoat or wind up material to finger point Fred.

One or the other

Seriously? You seem a bit sensitive.

I said nothing about justifying anything said by anyone else. My comments are my own and i don't represent anyone else. It was an error - he gave the ball away instead of slipping someone in.

You're not beyond a windup yourself so cop on and suck it up. It's only a game and neither of us are playing in it!

Fred, (or bro, whatever you want to be called) for a guy who spends most of his Boards time trying to wind up and cause friction and fishing for likes , you really are very precious when someone posts something you don't agree with.

Fred is not a 50 million pounds midfielder and a few stats drawn up in a 2-0 defeat won't convince me otherwise.

Fred was fúcking shíte today tbh.

That story doing the rounds a few months ago bout the Shaktar owners laughing their holes off at uniteds transfer bid looks to be true and even more so after his performance against PSG where he was truly muck only out done by McTommmminays (spelling?) shíteness.

No goal post move.

My points, for your clarification.

1. It was a questionable transfer
2. I don't think it was wholly driven by footballing reasons (hence why I say he is not a 50 million midfielder.
3. You are very precious at times for someone who spends his time trying to wind people up !

That's about all "bro"

Is there proof it was fake? Did the owners or anyone else involved in the story come out and say it didn't happen? It is an office story said to have taken place in Shaktar Donetsk so it's hard to corroborate if it's true or not. Can't recall if they did.

And in fairness the way he has played since he arrived at united fake tweet or no fake tweet he has been shíte so far.

Nothing sensitive about it. It seems you are the one that can't handle it.

Again I've given legitimate reasons why Fred played well today as in discussing football in the general PL thread but you went off on a rant about me specifically.

In fairness just because you chose to name yourself after such a shíte player doesn't mean you should be so sensitive and emotional when someone criticizes him for his shíteness.

Thought Fred was poor today. Must be the biggest waste of about 50 million in quite a while.

He is def on the list of biggest wastes. Although that list is featuring quiet a few post fergie united signings these days. Hopefully if ole gets the job they can sell on the rubbish and start signing players that suite their ilk such as callum wilson and lerma

Hard to pick between the shíteness of Fred or Sanchez since they joined united?

I'd probably go to say Sanchez is the bigger waste of money through wages paid and wages to be paid even though he didn't cost a transfer fee.

Maybe we could just pump crowd chants through the pa system like they do at yer gaff

On the plus side it was so quiet you could hear the managers on sidelines give instructions, at least that was positive and interesting

Wasn't aware that was the case. I've not mentioned Utd but they moved the singing back into the Stretford end as per request from the supporters clubs. It's made a big difference to the atmosphere.

Fingers crossed uniteds result today doesn't ruin Ole's chances of getting the job. Be tough to watch if they got a top level manager.

Ya your right. I mean Moyes only won 1 trophy, Van Gaal only 1 won trophy and Jose 2 trophies at United

Compare to that to your manager who win bucket loads.

Joke. It was suggested a few years ago that united could pump chants through the pa system to bring in an atmosphere. In fairness the singing section has improved things a lot.

Anfield is brilliant for those top European nights but when it comes to the league fans are a lot quieter. Ive been to a lot of games and a few beers makes sure i am vocal but you get a lot sitting around you who will not sing. I can see how that mentality spreads. 12 on a saturday or sunday is an awful time to expect fans to be pumped. But we do need to improve. Still though on a european night no stadium in england can compete. Just wish it was like that all the time

Fair point. My post was directly aimed at the atmosphere during the PL games. I agree the atmosphere for European nights is impressive at times.

Man Utd

Solskjaer will still get the job though won't he?

I seriously think there should be a dedicated thread where Man U and Liverpool posters can just tear strips out of each other so every other poster is spared having to read the juvenile bull$hit!
Jesus Christ lads, ye are grown adults and ye post like a bunch of 12 year olds. It's embarrassing.
