Great, were you playing against stoned amateurs or top level elite athletes who had been rotated more often?And you’re underestimating the impact of injuries and overestimating Ange’s input on the knackeredness.
Seriously though 2 games a week! In my amateur days I played of a weekend, had a weekday work comp and then a Thursday night indoor comp. Plus a fuck around most nights. And I was generally stoned too.
You'd probably enjoy her videos.Are you believing her because she's blonde and looks fairly decent in that thumbnail?
well then that would be the players fault, just like when he said subs were not relevant because the starting 11 didn't get to the levels he wants or some shit.I'd love someone to just respond with that when he wheels out the usual injury excuses
Decent? She looks like Gareth Keenan from the Office.Are you believing her because she's blonde and looks fairly decent in that thumbnail?
I agree and add in an element of softness and the only reason I say softness is because they bring it on themselves. It destroys me and everything I think is wrong with the game. Every player shows weakness now by staying down and rolling about showing your opponent that they’ve got the better of you or hurt you. Back in the day you made sure you got up as quick as you could even if it was a sore one and bided your time for some payback.Thanks for the insight. My feeling - perhaps not a great analogy! - is the modern players are like racehorses, very finely tuned and vulnerable to injury, illness, etc., due to the high performance and so on.
I've watched Alice's videos a few times. She is one of the more bearable Utd fans, and I often hear her compliment the younger players we have.You'd probably enjoy her videos.
She's a man united fan but does videos on most teams and puts a lot of effort in.
She's been very much an EvAngelist and I think she still is.
I mean, she's wrong about him, which is why you'd probably like her. But it helps with the ol' confirmation bias.
watched some of the ipswich game, the difference KDB makes for them is a joke. its amazing what that one special midfielder can do, as long as the rest are competent footballers. his use of the ball is pretty much immaculate, he punishes teams with his I.Q and technique.The City team were all looking dead on their feet through November and December. They had a lot of players injured and the ones that were playing were a mix of over used and too old (sometimes both)
They sorted it out by buying their way out of it and having some players come back.
Their injuries weren't all hamstrings and they also don't look totally uncoached. So that's where the similarities end.

Why Spurs will stand by Ange Postecoglou... for now
SAMI MOKBEL: Their first-half capitulation goes straight into the club's hall of shame alongside the ignominy of falling 5-0 behind after 21 minutes at Newcastle in April 2023.www.dailymail.co.uk
Apart from her unwavering love for Ange, I quite like her videos. It's better to get an unbiased opinion from the outside sometimes.I've watched Alice's videos a few times. She is one of the more bearable Utd fans, and I often hear her compliment the younger players we have.
He looked back to his best. Everything was crisp and sharp and he sees his next pass before he gets the ball. He’s still a brilliant footballer.watched some of the ipswich game, the difference KDB makes for them is a joke. its amazing what that one special midfielder can do, as long as the rest are competent footballers. his use of the ball is pretty much immaculate, he punishes teams with his I.Q and technique.
oh hes unreal. one of the few players that you actually watch when hes on because hes that fucking good. for me hes the best player the prems ever seen standard wise.He looked back to his best. Everything was crisp and sharp and he sees his next pass before he gets the ball. He’s still a brilliant footballer.
We've only lost 1 game by more than a single goal all season and that was the 6-3 against Liverpool. So yesMason lost 1-0 to City in what was his first game in charge. A game we arguably should have been a man up in.
If we get to the final against Woolwich or Newcastle do you reckon we lose by a single goal under Ange?
They looked absolutely shit against Part time postmen and Zara sales assistants a few weeks back......It's not about how tired they are in general. If you put them up against me they'd look fresh as daisies. They're not up against me, they're up against fellow elite athletes, and against them they look fucked.
They indeed looked shit. Against PL oppo they look shit and tired.They looked absolutely shit against Part time postmen and Zara sales assistants a few weeks back......![]()
We should really be having a winter break here, but no doubt clubs would just use the 2 weeks to do a foreign money making tour of some sort!They indeed looked shit. Against PL oppo they look shit and tired.
We could also do with a bigger squad and rotating smarter. Nobody else looks as shattered as us.We should really be having a winter break here, but no doubt clubs would just use the 2 weeks to do a foreign money making tour of some sort!
