Yesterday showed that we are starting to find our fluency again even if the goals didn't full follow. Plus as an added bonus we didn't give them the battering their performance deserved and so ensuring Mourinhos toxic reign continues a bit longer.
I thought Liverpool fans had a sense of entitlement but listening to Neville and Keane on Sunday, post match, I see we have some way to go to rival their outrageous sense of entitlement. Great clubs have dips in fortunes, we had ours when we were top dogs, now it's their turn.
Depends if there is contact. Contact could be deemed careless but no contact would just be a high foot
More to do with what her family would think mate. Getting married is one, just changing your name is another.
I've watched a couple of matches or highlights this season where the commentators have shown a sense of outrage at how poor Utd have been, with comments like "but this is Manchester United we're talking about!" There is definitely the sense of a God-given right to be at the top with the occasional challenger coming along to make it interesting. It's good for all of football for that bubble of pomposity to be burst. Like you say, many of us old enough to remember our period of dominance can recognise the feeling, but no-one has the right to be at the top without earning it, and sometimes when the tide turns you have to accept it and work to get back.
I know media coverage was as big as it is now but was it similar in the early 90s with us after we dominated the 80s? It is funny that over over the last 15 years or so liverpool Chelsea and arsenal have all had big dips and yeah it’s been talked about but it doesn’t seem to have got anywhere near the coverage united have had. I guess they were far more dominant than the above 3 and the money and big names they brought in have made it more news worthy but as you say, a lot of the pundits and media are talking like it’s unthinkable a club like united could fall behind when in all honesty a lot of them have done the same.
You have to rememebr that its a feeding frenzy style media these days a) social media (simply didn't exist pre 2004. Twitter was 2006.) b) Sky only had stiff upper lipped BBC for competition form 1992 unitl a couple of players came in. They did hype stuff but were more interested in hyping up then hyping down. c) Media outlets are at each others throats, a website in Azerbaijan can break a story faster than the british outlets so they have to be all over everything instantly. d) own fan tv and youtbue channels were a radical concept not so long ago. If you look at the demise of wenger...we were all laughing at the arsenal tv morons and the fans in stadiums with banners. whine whein whine thats all thats really heard. In many ways i'm glad 2008-20010 happened when it happened and not in these times.
probably i think we have taken ****e corners for ages, don't know why we don't play it short and work the ball in.
Our corners are total pants. I'm not really a fan of a short one either, tbh - playing along the ground into a crowd is just as iffy. I think we should be playing them deeper with more pace. I think one or more of the big lads should stay out then run in onto it and try to lose their marker. A tracking player can often switch off under those circumstances.
Last season Chamberlain was mostly on corner and free kick duty and was consistent as hell. With his injury we now just have a bunch of guys who can't get it over the first defender.
