    It's because he's tall and doesn't do anything badly but he's not like great at anything either. He's Mohamed Elneny.

    Honestly, if I was a ref, the rat face on Bruno Fernandes would make me just send him off for no reason and if it gets me a demotion then so be it.

    How is Werner still on the pitch?

    Lukaku and Havertz must be still injured

    Is that an actual rule? Because he didn’t shoot the assistant can’t pull it back for offside?

    Is it genuinely the rule that VAR can't change the offside if it goes out for a corner? It feels like something that would happen on a badly programmed video game.

    Chelsea need to have a word with Thomas Tuchel about his touchline clobber. Are you a Big Club if your manager dresses like a shoplifter?

    The Carragher/Keane argument is made 100x better by OG Jimmy just laughing at these two having a divorce mid show.

    Roy Keane is a crap pundit (albeit a lol one), but he is more right in that discussion than not. The other stuff he said about Carrick was good as well.

    If you weren’t a United fan you would be absolutely

    Arsenal have won at least 2 FA Cups since United won their last trophy. It isn’t the players holding you back mate.

    This quote and calling Juventus shit is incredible stuff. You are an absolute joke when it comes to football opinions. Reddit as fuck.

    The standard non-deluded opinion was that they signed Ronaldo because he's Ronaldo and why not. Nobody thought that it was going to edge them the league, but, if he improves the squad/adds big goals, he might help win a cup. I'm not sure what Carragher was screeching about winning the league for.

    I always thought this as well. He was available and why not? Hell, he might wind up retiring in red and he's not going to half-arse it.

    Ronaldo's goals are the reason they aren't out of the CL and bottom half of the league. Now, you can say his presence is a retrograde step and means they don't press, but if you're a shit team and don't press anyway then you might as well have Ronaldo.

    They should just leave him for the CL games. He’s been a bit useless in the majority of their league games.

    Rarcus Mashford will out score him in the league

    They finished 2nd last year. This is an insane take. It’s really not hard to do well at football if you buy better players than everyone else. Wenger managed it on half their budget. You just buy better players and it doesn’t matter whether you set up in a 4-1-3-2 or a 4-2-3-1. You’ll win. They’ve been managed by an absolute nobody for years and finished 2nd because their budget is bigger than everyone else.

    Jesus, give the guy some credit. Not like Chelsea and Liverpool suddenly had no money last season.

    This is it. Maybe a sensible club wouldn't have become nostalgic over an old great but we did even if he didn't fit what had given Solskjear some success.

    Just looking at the table, I hadn't really appreciate how much filth there is going on. Wolves, Spurs and Brighton 6th, 7th and 9th with none of them averaging more than a goal a game and none with positive goal difference. Your mob not much better.

    Top 3 out of sight already.

    I think it will depend on how Liverpool get on during the Afcon.

    So was United apparently. Liverpool had blown the league away and been unbelievable for 3 seasons. You're allowed to give people credit.
