KWP’s doing well and it’s all part of the plan.

Bale came back to replace Bale.
Eriksen is maybe coming back to replace Eriksen.
KWP just a year or two down the line...
 
In fairness to JM...he identified that we needed Hoejberg and Southampton made it clear that that KWP HAD to be part of the deal...

And you need a slap for making me defend JM and end up being on the same side as @Spurlock <grr>

You don't need to do that, it was probably more Poch's fault. By time Mourinho turned up, the kid's head had been turned...and rightly so.
 
Pardon me while I laugh.Tv here are trying their best to promote Man u v Liverpuddle as our answer to Barcelona v Real Madrid.

The **** kind of decision is that?

The kind of decision VAR would review and award the Blackburn player a free kick for being headbutted in the studs.

Then Mark Clattenberg would be wheeled out a few weeks later to explain how it is vital referees protect the rights of innocent football boots against out of control faces.

Then Mark Clattenberg would be wheeled out a few weeks later to explain how it is vital referees protect the rights of innocent football boots against out of control faces.

Mark Clattenberg defends his officiating of the game :

I allowed them [Boro faces] to self-destruct so all the media, all the people in the world went: ‘Boro lost the plot.'
“If I sent three players off from Boro, what are the headlines? ‘Clattenburg cost Boro the game.’
It was pure theatre that Boro self-destructed against Blackburn and Blackburn won the game.”

He added: “I helped the game. I certainly benefited the game by my style of refereeing.
Some referees would have played by the book;
Boro would have been down to seven or eight players for getting their faces in the way
of Blackburn boots and probably lost and they would've been looking for an excuse."

“But I didn't give them an excuse, because my game plan was: Let them lose the game.”
