    That doesn't seem in any way related. Still funny though.

    Never sold him mate, he walked because he wanted/demanded first team football ahead of actual great players <ok>

    I never wanted him back at that price because I had never seen him control or run a game, I still haven't so have the same opinion.

    To demand 1st team football at 19 ahead of players who have won everything is pure arrogance (or piss poor advice) when at best you have looked like a rabbit in headlights in the chances you have been given.

    The lad has talent and is still young, if he starts to work and use his talent instead of thinking he is already there then he could be a top class player for years, if not he could be another Balotelli.

    If I had Pogba's ability and Cleverley, Anderson, Carrick and a midfield pairing with the combined age of 172 in Scholes & Giggs were picked ahead of me then I'd be pissed off too.

    Did you ever see any of his performances for us? trust me we have had lots of lads at his age that looked much better and more composed. He had the talent but wasn't prepared to prove he was worth a place, still isn't apparently.

    Cleverley, Gibson, Anderson et al. were never going to reach the desired level at Man Utd, and Giggs & Scholes were on the verge of retirement. Not giving Pogba enough games to gain experience and keep him happy was obviously a massive mistake.

    Did you ever see him play? Cleverley and Gibson were streets ahead of him in first team standing, Giggs and Scholes were still winning titles and Anderson could be great (occasionally :bandit:). The lad did nothing to suggest he was anywhere near ready for the PL and still has a lot to prove on that score.

    This is what happens when you take a win for granted. Gives the opposition a lift and extra motivation to show that they shouldn't be dismissed as non entities. Unfortunately reminds me of our own manager who put up a less than strong side and got dumped. Why don't managers learn that fans like to compete finals and win trophies?

    maybe to fans.. but City threw the kitchen sink at Wigan, even with 10 men.

    only 1 in 3 chances were on target out of 27 I think. Sometimes you just don't win because of the law of averages :) The fact it was Wigan may have also had a small psychological effect on top of that if you (players) believe the bogey team concept
