Under these rules on the goalie staying on his line it's essentially giving Fernandes two bites of the pie, his staggering run up will more often move the goalie.

Should be stopped......they've nailed keepers to line so they should stop these stupid run ups too.

Is it just me, or does anyone else do a double-take every time Van Der Beek comes on, thinking 'Fuck me, is Alan Smith still playing for Utd?'

[Jennings]

Where on the arm did it hit the WBA defender?

The picture is from Facebook not LinkedIn as far as I can tell

This game is absolutely awful. 

[Chocoholic]

The origination of the pic is irrelevant. If it's on social media, it can be shared across any platform available.

It's still fake....his actual Linkedin profile had same of him but with a different background.

 

Anyway - he is still either very shite or bent - the useless get.

Well, the officials have just about dragged United across the finishing line, faithful minions that they are.

It was from Facebook and it was taken down once we got hold of it after the Derby.

 

He had that United background there according to multiple sources.

 

If you're not 100% sure you should perhaps make that clear when you post it.

You may well be right but he's dodgy

Beyond incredulity united are averaging almost a penalty a game. What are the refs doing, getting together and saying united should be given a pen in circumstances no other club should get them?

 

The rule for the penalty taker is defined as " feinting to kick the ball once the kicker has completed the run-up (feinting in the run-up is permitted); the referee cautions the kicker." That's a massive inconsistency to me and one the IFAB needs to correct.

 

Fucking Harry Kane doesnt get the number of pens these cunts get. Should tell you everything you need to know.

La Liga is very good this year, partly because Barcelona and Real Madrid aren't. Atletico have the best team, squad, and manager in the league. Real Sociedad and Villarreal aren't far away either.

 

They're fucked are Barcelona. Absolutely fucked. No side, including United, have bought as badly over the last five years. 

[3 Stacks]

The United penalty stuff is straight up bizarre. They're not even a particularly good or dominant attacking team that spend lots of time in the opponent penalty area. It's a mix of unprecedented luck and the aura that they still have as a top club, despite not being any good.

I watched the Bobby Robson documentary yesterday and it really hammered home just how unpleasant a football club it is.

I think they'll pull the plug on Koeman sooner rather than later.

The club is in limbo. They're waiting for a new president and Xavi to become manager. Koeman knows this, which probably isn't great for motivation.

Getting Xavi in is the logical next step in their Manchester Unitification. He’s proved nothing, but they did something similar once a few years ago and then loads of dead dead good stuff happened, so let’s try the same thing again.
 

Lad who was good in midfield with “CLUB DNA” running through him in place of credentials or experience. That’ll work.

The colour of his Christmas tree decorations could be a clincher.

Agreed. 

 

What they actually need is someone that is very tactically astute to keep them competitive for the next 18-24 months while they deal with clearing out the dead wood (about two thirds of the squad). 

 

An Allegri. But the white hankies would be out the first time he played for a draw away from home in a European cup quarter final, or had less than 60% possession in a game.

The pic was fake 100%....there is no not sure about it.

 

The original had the same small photo of him with him inside wembley as in that one posted here earlier and where there is old trafford in the bigger part of pic that was wembley as well.

Have you seen the original picture then because if you haven't then how can you be 100% sure it's fake

He is an absolute twat, either a totally useless one or a corrupt one.
