Rival Watch Thread Watch

But it`s not the same teams, many have improved this year as shown by results and the lower points totals of the top teams from last year.
Unless a lot of the top teams have got ****ter

 

Just for fun like, I looked at the games Liverpool and Man Utd have played during the last 15 PL fixtures, and the league positions of those teams. Astonishingly, Man Utd's "average opponent" isn't even in the PL!

They are literally* playing in a different league
*not literally

Not including 2 CL games, that's 21 games played, average league position 16.3

 

Holding mids, Blind and Carrick. Roaming players di Maria, Herrera, Januzaj, Fellaini, Wide Valencia, Young, No10s Mata, Rooney (Januzaj can play here).
No real shortage of midfielders there

 

Is there some reason you didn`t show League games only (and keep in line with the form thing ), or am i just a suspicious batard

 

To show the added pressure of not being a part time football team led by a manager who (mentally) retired 6 months ago

 

I can`t fault you for effort

 

Wazza will be off(he'll never accept a permanent midfield role), Carrick's on his last legs, Fellaini is a red card waiting to happen, Januzaj plays from side to side not end to end, Blind is clumsy in possession, Young is a diving disgrace.

Don't know who the feller called "Wide" is but he might just be the answer.

 

Saving him for the big games, 30 goals/season from midfield, not too shabby

 

I thought it was a nickname?
Wide Valencia
No10s Mata (as in "no apperances as number 10")
Fat Shaw
Elbows Fellaini
Fat Rooney
David De Goner
Fat Falcao

 

We have names for em all mate, affectionate of course

 

Just out of interest, does it not embarras you all that you are behind us?

 

No. We had an absoluetly ****e start because of new players and injuries. We shouldn't even be thinking about top 4 any more but are.

You are playing absolutely ****e football I would hate to watch. We have done better in the cups, and without any unexpected incidents I still see us finishing above you in the league anyway.

You have 1 more point than Moyes so far. All the difficult games that got Moyes sacked are still to come.

Chelsea striker Diego Costa says he is a 'strong but noble' player

Chelsea striker Diego Costa claims his challenges are "strong but noble" and that he has never seriously injured an opposition player.



What a ****ing moron. Stamping is not noble. Backing into an opponent and throwing yourself down isn't noble.

 

Nasty ****er who riles the oposition and gets the job done, every team should have one

He is right about never seriously injuring anyone though, even the stamps are without weight, just a dig

 

Brilliant

By your own definition United are doing fantastic.

 

I didn't say they were the same teams as last year

 

Nope, its the voices in your head telling you that.

Even ex class of 92 players like Gary Neville and Paul Scholes agree that yoonited are playing ****e football and are in a false league position.

Try taking your argument to them UIR, you might get to go live on TV and let the football watching public what a plum you are.

 

No. We had an absoluetly ****e start because of more new players and many more injuries. We shouldn't even be thinking about top 4 any more but are

 

I for one find it embarrassing. Your play and tactics are woeful, but also proves that if you spend £200m+ you can make hoof ball relatively successful.

 

No you aren't, you're exactly on target to repeat last season, maybe 1 or two more points. Which is sacking form and no CL.
