    Match Day Thread West Ham v Liverpool

    That's kind of why I didn't say to disregard the line comparing the Liverpool players. Any cost to results review is entirely valid, and I do agree for those 3 players to give that return is very poor. However, to use that original line comparing Mahrez, Ighalo, Vardy, and to say that there is...

    It's a Liverpool coping mechanism to revert to hyperbole

    There was no need for the Mahrez, Ighalo, Vardy line. Essentially you are comparing your strike force with a Premier League highlight reel for this season. Which is unrealistic given how selective the comparison is. Unless you are trying to tell me that you would really be happy for your team to...

    Match Day Thread A **** team v a Crap team

    If you think you're attending a wake, you're mistaken. Seems that in line with your 'jealous of fans of Leeds' comment, you are the master of hyperbole.

    Match Day Thread Stoke City v Manchester United

    Might be disrespectful but felt like making a list of what LVG will be remembered for at MU: Negatives: > Signing players and inexplicably tending to prefer players he already had in the team, or playing them out of position > Trying to reduce fan expectations about what to expect of the club >...

    Match Day Thread Stoke City v Manchester United

    Saying it is 'a lot harder' bears no significance. If you feel it is too hard, or you are not capable, don't take the job. When LVG accepted the role, he accepted the current circumstances of the club, and has been provided ample support in terms of infrastructure and finances to get on with...

    Dropping Rooney is a step in the right direction - and a symbolic gesture that LVG may perhaps be easing up on his stubbornness of team selection for certain players.

    Match Day Thread The Watford Hornets vs Manchester United

    I would argue that because 'going' is defined in such a general way (the original definition 'something done', it is entirely acceptable to have 'pushing on' as a possible usage in the original example. IE I could have said 'I'm pushing on the belief'. It sounds weird because it is so rarely...

    Also, care to educate me on how a strike is tangible?

    http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/going?s=t Note that 'going' is synonymous with 'operating', which is applicable in the context that it was used. 'Going' does not only mean having movement/ action upon a specified object, but simply 'something done' (again referred to on the same link).

    What was wrong with 'going on the belief'?
