Yeah and I also read that the players are going to still lineup for the anthem and then walk past their opponents, but with no handshakes? So what exactly are they going to do? A gentleman’s nod as they walk past?

What about defending corners in the box... no touching?

The Dier incident is funny if it was scott mctominay or jordan henderson that did it. This thread would be non stop about it with varying opinions depending on which player did it.

Even when something has nothing to do with Utd and Liverpool some poster has to make it about Liverpool and Utd.

He never mentioned Liverpool or Utd

Indirectly maybe. But the point is valid.

Ole nominated for manager of the month. Unbeaten in 9 games and 7 clean sheets in those 9.

Hope he gets it.

First manager since fergie left who actually looks like he has a long term plan in place. A few more signings in the summer and im sure we will see a big push next season

You know well that it's premier league manager of the month. United played three league games in that time and that's what it'll be judged on.

Dyche should win it. He played an extra game and was unbeaten in February.

8-10

But mad that the only manager to win 3 games in February didn't get nominated....

Fair enough...not really sure why a "utd supporter" would be thanking your post. As a utd fan myself i would always want a utd manager to win it

Fully deserved. No reason why he shouldn't be kept on now for at least another season. Proved the doubters wrong.

You can say he deserves it without grandstanding. You knew the nomination was based on three games but you had to mention 6 others that are irrelevant.

Just make a point without all the fluff.

Klopp won 3 games. Lost the fourth. Liverpool picked up more points in February than any other team I think.

8-10

For the record I don't think he should have won this month, I think Arteta or Dyche, but to win more than anyone else you'd think he'd be nominated at least.

y0ssar1an22

of course klopp should have been nominated (and prob won. haven't looked at the individual matches the various teams have played in). the premier league obviously feel he has won enough and to give other managers a chance

8-10

The teams beat were down around the bottom and the loss was a big one but just shows the incredible standard he's set this season. Lampard is the only other manager to have won the award this season so far.

Iused2likebusts

Dyche should win it great points return from a difficult fixture list and have made themselves save based on their form in Feb.
Edit
Actually Leicester and Utd was in Jan so fixtures werent as tough as I thought.

Shanotheslayer

Just saw a stat that Petr Cech had a 91% save rate in 2007. What the ****?

Oranage2

Probably the first game in a long while that I'll enjoy waiting pool play.

callaway92

McManaman with that bias on BT commentary.

This guff getting team legends doing commentary for their former teams shining a crap light there insisting that was a push/foul from Callum Wilson. Was a bit of strength.

Oranage2

Gomez is rubbish

sReq | uTeK

The best team of the universe on par with Peps Barcelona are on a rotten run of form.

Liamalone

Klopp mouthing off to Howe straightaway, stay classy Jurgen, stay classy.

niallo27

Even the most biased fan will say that was a push.

Yeah, he should wait until after the game and mouth off to the ref and get sent off. That's really classy.

He said wait wait. He didnt mouth off in fairness.

I said biased not completely blinkered.

Mushy

I know its soft, but should definitely be called a free. Even if Gomez was a bit weak.

Still funny it wasnt though

RasTa

Not a clear and obvious error, excellent by VAR.

Although they will still win

:D yet weirdly never received a touchline ban

The greatest sports team in the observable universe are losing 1-0

A major enquiry is incoming

Gomez very weak there. Liverpool still asleep then in the buildup

Didn't say he did. Lack of class all the same.

Gomez hasn't been stellar for a few month now. Got the run around during the CWC games too

Mane done the exact same thing against Norwich. Gomez to weak and casual.

I thought he said ''Eh lid, what are you doing, you always let us win easy!'' lol

Still end up 4 or 5 to 1.

niallo27

When your man on bt, Peter Walton guy says it was a mistake you know something is up. First time I have heard him say the ref has made a mistake.

Thats a shove in the back from Wilson. Its a foul.
