It's annoying when ratings are clearly written with a bias toward the result. You can be sure that most teams will not get 11 shots on target against ManU, yet many of those ManU opponents who failed to get 11 shots on target will get higher scores. Makes you wonder how all those shots happened doesn't it? While I'm letting off steam and also on the wrong thread, I'm just wondering how often a player making a studs up challenge does not get sent off? You can say all you like about "not sure the intention was there" (as Pogba apologists have been saying) but I thought dangerous play was dangerous play? Presumably we can look forward to the next challenge like that (except if made by a Liverpool player of course) also being given a yellow - with no punishment for kicking the ball away of course.
There was something terrible and familiar about the refereeing of the game and its reporting. It was almost as if Sir Ferguson had returned to United....
They got their obnoxious sense of entitlement and pathological need to try and shout down any and all valid criticism already...
No need to look forward, United v Newcastle a week earlier, Shelvey studs straight into the back of Pogba's knee with no chance of getting the ball........yellow card I presume you have already pointed this out though
Says a lot that the article in yesterday's Standard about Dembele's time with the club had this as an opening paragraph... To get the measure of Mousa Dembele, forget his statistics and listen to the people who know him best. Dembele is due to complete a £9million move from Tottenham to Chinese club Guangzhou today, having won precisely nothing in 324 appearances in English football — fewer than he would have liked in eight-and-a-half injury-hit seasons since joining Fulham.
The current issue of WSC has an article about Steptonho's stint at Man Utd and how it was doomed to fail from the start, and while the first 2/3 of the article makes several valid arguments about why he was a bad choice from the outset and how he ****ed up the club during his stint, the last third of the article inexplicably turns into a POCH TO UNITED stream of consciousness that's riddled with patent untruths (not least the lie about tapping-up Poch at Southampton that we've seen regurgitated here before) while also trying to suggest that there's no difference in the approach even though at no point did countless pundits or ex-Spurs players (or both, as is the case with ex-Man Utd players) not only blab to the press how Poch should move but also devote the majority of the coverage of Southampton matches to it - including throughout the bloody match

According to the BBC, Forest Green Rovers' goalkeeper lost some teeth in a collision with an opposition player. please log in to view this image It's that or he got kicked right in the ****ing face. One or the other. I'll hide the results behind a spoiler tag: Spoiler: Damaged mush.
Paul Scholes has been harrumphing to anyone who'll listen that, if Poch ever becomes Man Utd manager, he needs to try to win every trophy available Because if there's one thing Alex Ferguson was known for it's going out of his way to make sure his team wins the Season Killer Cup and definitely not sacking it off at the earliest opportunity And then there's that thing about sacking off the FA Cup by not even taking part in it...
