    I have no issue with Aguero being banned, but can we have some consistency with this crap, please?
    Some players get away with it, while others are punished and it seems to be purely down to TV coverage.

    You mean there aren't rules for bringing television into disrepute?

    Anything to get rid of the constant repeats of The Inbetweeners!

    I think I read somewhere that this only happened because a barrel-load of other targets didn't materialise, hence the deadline day signing.

    HBIC all I can say is why are you sitting and waiting for something decent to appear on TV when there is a world out there full of Charlottes.

    Turn it off!

    Tbf, I didn’t see biased officiating in favor of the bigger club in the Man U Hull game, at least. I can only hope it won’t be another year where Chelsea effectively is given 15 more pens than we are.

    The fact there are international breaks during the season is bad. That the first one happens when the season has barely started is ridiculous. But the worst of it is that they play in the middle of the second week. Is there a committee to promote injuries and burnout to top players that arranges all this?

    Jamie "Loyalty" Vardy claims it was an easy decision to sign the bumper contract Leicester drew up after his very public flirting with Arsenal during the summer

    ...sorry, I meant to say that Jamie Vardy has said never even considered signing for Arsenal in the first place as his heart was always with Leicester, and he showed just how much the club meant to him by signing a new contract with a massive wage increase that he was given to him due to his loyalty and certainly nothing like publicly courting a potential transfer to another club during the summer.

    Well when you take in the fact they got 20% of Pogba's fee off Juve (£17.8m), that means the other £15.2m was spread between Mourinho, Ibra, Bailley and Miki, less than £4m each. About average that by todays agents fees.

    Manchester United players have been banned from swapping shirts with opposition players, as it is "not cost effective".

    Probably should've checked the balance sheet before spunking the GDP of a central European country on summer transfers, eh?

    We need a new striker, Perez is very Vardy like (hopefully without being a complete cock) so we will see.
    you guys bought a new striker in the TW didn't you - what's the vibe on him

    Yes, Janssen. At the moment his all round play - hold up, bringing other players in etc - look very good. He has been worrying Soldado like in front of goal, but he has a good record in Holland, and so hopefully that will click soon.

    Real work horse, so fits Pochettino's philosophy perfectly, although he has missed two glorious chances, one being a superb save in fairness but the other can't really be excused. I think the goals will come though, he gets into great positions and from what I've seen so far, CB's really don't like man-marking him due to his physicality.

    When United are paying Pogba and Rooney about £300k per week, Gareth is the bargain of all time compared with that level of lunacy.

    However he's become a scruffy looking bleeder since he started earning all that money. Maybe we could pitch a new TV show - 'The Spurcat Eye For The Rich Football Guy'?
