Other football

They only did that after they saw what a colossal fuck up they'd made with Pogba.

 

Oh I know that, but they'll be doing it with every other young kid now - and I can't imagine they'll all come as good as Pogba.  Morrison was kind of different, he'd never have succeeded living in Manchester, he had to leave the area. 

 

He chinned one of my mates in the Printworks about 2/3 years ago, and then was shouting his mouth off about how much money he earns, with his fucking shirt off and tucked into his jeans.  Bad goon.

The legend that is Antonio Barragan came on for Valencia last night, by the way...

[Section_31]

Refused to give a "greedy" Pogba £25,000 per week and allowed him to go on a free, but agreed to give Januzaj £40,000 to stop him doing the same haha. You've got to laugh really.

Was it really 40k? Fuck me what did Moyes and The Equalizer do to those fucks? Delightful scenes, delightful.

[Gym Beglin]

To be fair to United, I wouldn't have given Pogba £25k a week at the time.

 

That said, I wasn't at United's training ground and seeing how good he was, so maybe it was startlingly obvious he was world class...but if that was the case, then why didn't he play for the first team?  Makes no sense to me, and maybe the move to Italy booted him up the arse, or maybe he just thought Ferguson was an old creepy racist cunt.

We have been linked with him this season, I thought he must have gone to some lower league Spanish team but he must be doing well.

I remember a reserve game against them, or it might have been in the youth cup where Pogba and Morrison were just as good as Sterling who we had huge hopes for.  It started me wondering if perhaps we hadn't massively overestimated Sterling's potential, but looking back it's clear that the issue was that we had underestimated Pogba's and Morrison's. 

 

I still think that there is an unbelievable footballer inside Ravel Morrison somewhere, if he can ever see past himself to find it.  He might need a top-class manager to bring it out of him, but the talent is definitely there.  He was sensational that day, every bit as good as our Raheem.

[moof]

Rodgers could work wonders with Morrison the footballer. If he could sort out Morrison the man then we'd have a fucking player on our hands

[Gym Beglin]

I think the same about Ravel Morrison, he's got raw brilliance somewhere, and an engine on him. 

 

It's never going to happen, but as an experiment, I'd love to see Rodgers be given Morrison, Chalobah, and Berahino, Zaha, Redmond, and NIck Powell for a year and see what comes out of the other side.

 

That said, he's had Shelvey, Wisdom, Robinson, Coady, Ibe, and Robinson and none of them have made the same strides as Sterling and Flannagan.

Have we? I don't think he's good enough.

 

2 red cards in 27 games this season...

[Josef Svejk]

Have we? I don't think he's good enough.

 

2 red cards in 27 games this season. 1 in 16 last season.

I don't think we should cast judgement, they could have been red cards for 2 footed lunges on Ronaldo - which makes them perfectly acceptable.

Sent off against the mighty Real Vallecano and Elche this season. More impressively, he was sent off against Bayern Munich in the Champions League last season. By Howard Webb, of course. For an awesome foul on Alaba:

 

[Josef Svejk]

His second yellow against Vallecano was pretty impressive, too:

 

[JermainePennant]

Yea we definitely have, I saw a story saying we were after a former rb and I couldn't think who it could be and it turned out to be him, it was a shit source I think but you never know.

[DanDanShaw]

That red on Alaba has never ever been a red card and why was that maggot Robben running over to him like he was going to do something, only to shit himself and turn to the ref?

[RazorBack]

Barragan - haha. Need I say more?

[Josef Svejk]

[Russ Atmosphere]

It's a superb error, Jellybelly instead of Van Gaal, but I'm puzzled how it happened.

There's bound to be a Liverpool fan involved...

[PestiRed]

Fucking Sherwood. All he has to do is keep pressure on Everton for fifth and keep West Ham needing points against City. Instead he goes down to ten men and gives away an own goal.

 

Stupid gillet-wearing cunt. I hope his next job is at Millwall

[Caramac]

[aRdja]

Downing is looking world class.

[aRdja]

Paulinho is a soft cock.

[Mathewbet1]

so if West ham win or draw today means Everton can secure european qualification with a win against City, incentive enough so they can dust off their passports?

[Dr Nowt]

United for the Europa.
