If we are going on that then I guess Brighton is a top 3 team this year? I wouldn’t call today lucky at all though. That’s a bit of a stretch. They aren’t a possession dominating team. They are a counter team. United will be fine. Well, the refs for your game were dropped next week because of the VAR indecision that would've resulted in you getting a (deserved) single point in all likelyhood. Brighton tbh is a top-6 team, moreso than Spurs right now. Your home record dating back to last season is amazing though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 No doubt they got lucky lol. Outplayed for most of the game (15-23 in goal attempts 3-6 in attempts on goal and 1.49 - 2.14 in xG). That combined with the missed obvious penalty United was lucky to get the 3 points. They didn't even deserve 1 lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Chelsea finalize Caicedo, also getting Lavia and Olise. Can't even complain because they've also made 250mil in sales this window. Absolutely insane business. Makes me so jealous. We may get 40mil for Balogun from Monaco. We're gonna let Pepe leave on a free, while ManU somehow secures 10mil for Fred from a Turkish team. Somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because they parked the bus at the end doesn’t mean they were lucky to get even a point. That’s not how football works. Not their best game but that’s literally the best Wolves can play and United still won. I also love how this talk of the missed penalty call. It was a missed call. Correct. In like the 96th minute of a game that had no business having 7 minutes of added time. So Wolves were just as lucky to even be given so many minutes. No injuries, no real big time wasting. It’s plain stupid. I know this is a new initiative but it needs to actually make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's new rules this year, kind of like what they did in the World Cup. There's supposed to be a lot more added time than before. There's been games so far with more than 10 minutes added time in the 1st half. There was nothing wrong with adding 7 minutes in that game. And United having 51% possession doesn't change the fact that they got lucky lol. There's nothing wrong with being lucky from time to time, every team does that. It's actually a sign of strength in the squad that you manages to win on bad days. But we still need to call a spade a spade here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of last season I was so apathetic, now I'm as excited as I've ever been. They're not just buying a lot of players, but they're buying young, very talented players that all meet certain criterias when it comes to technical and tactical abilities. This team is gonna be crazy in a few years. The squad depth is ridiculous: LB/RB: Chilwell, James, Gusto, Cucurella, Lewis Hall, Ian Maatsen CB: Silva, Colwill, Disasi, Badiashile, Fofana, Chalobah CM: Caicedo, Lavia, Enzo, Andrey Santos, Casadei AM/W: Gallagher, Chukwuemeka, Nkunku, Mudryk, Sterling, Madueke (Olise soon) S: Jackson, Broja, D.D Fofana Silva is the only one over 30. Sterling is 28 (hopefully sold soon) and Nkunku and Disasi are 25. Everyone else is 23 or younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t mean it’s “lol they didn’t even deserve one point.” That’s just wrong. Very wrong. And what other games have for added time has nothing to do with that game. There weren’t any major time issues all match. 7 minutes is not a normal amount. It’s an extended amount and unjustified considering what went on during the match. the rest we will agree to disagree and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I disagree with your opinion. But yeah lol lol lol whatever. Again, the new rule isn’t to add time for no reason. It’s to add time when it’s wasted, injuries, etc. there really wasn’t any. It’s not a new rule to arbitrarily add nearly 10 minutes (which is basically what it turned out to be). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time the ball is out of play, every few seconds used on time wasting. 7 minutes is the new 3-4 minutes. 2nd halves with 3 minute added time won't be no more. The normal will be around 6/7 minutes with a lot of games getting 10+ minutes if there's injuries, VAR stoppages etc. It was exactly the same during the world cup. We got games with barely any injuries or longer stoppages that got close to 10 minutes of added time. It's how it should be, and it finally looks like the Prem is catching up.

I know what time is added for. Im not new to the sport. But it doesn't mean every game gets 7+ minutes. And lol at the "it finally looks linke the prem is catching up." No leagues before a year ago were regularly adding 7-10 minutes unless you mean lesser leagues. It's unnecessary. There are times that it is necessary, but not every single game. The world cup started this arbitrary fad. There are times it makes sense and there are times it most certainly doesn't. It always makes me laugh. Whenever United get a beneficial call, every other fan jumps up and down as if this doesn’t happen all around every league in every game. hell, two years ago this was a good goal and cost United 2 points either way, it’s a long season for us to argue so many e agree to disagree.

I don’t get the hype either. He’s one footed and it’s not even a special one footed kind of guy. But I do think the EPL is the most difficult league to adjust to in the world. I’m not saying I’m confident he will ever excel, but his age still leaves plenty of time to adjust. I’m just not ready to get too conclusionary on him yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H-Dreamer Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) Don't know if you guys have been paying attention to the bizarre scandal around Spains FA president? He had the brilliant idea of kissing one of the players of the winning Women's World Cup team on the mouth and instead of taking the smart PR move of apologizing and lying low he has been doubling down since. Aside from the usual whining about "woke cancel culture", we have the FA claiming the player agreed it was consensual - she immediately denied being involved in that statement and said it wasn't, the Presidents mother entering her local church claiming she would go on hunger strike over the unfair treatment of her son and now the FA petitioned UEFA to ban Spain from International competition due to government interference in FA matters (aka politicans calling for his resignation), a move clearly meant to scare politicians away from the holy cow of football. FIFA meanwhile has issued a ban on him for now. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2023/aug/28/rfef-asks-uefa-to-suspend-spanish-teams-luis-rubiales https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66637880 Edited August 28, 2023 by H-Dreamer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Yeah dude, this one is pretty cut and dry and the fact he continuously doubles and triples down is only digging his grave that much deeper. Spain was almost removed from European competitions over this. It's one egotistical dude who refuses to accept he was wrong and he's bringing others down with him. Hopefully it'll end before too many people get burned. The entire thing is pretty cringe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 The situation in itself isn't that big of a deal. Stupid move and he seems like a weird person, but he was hugging and kissing (on the cheek) all the players and no one seemed to bother. They love kissing each other in Spain (and France) lol. The problem is how he just can't read the room and refuses to apologies afterwards. The right way to handle this would be if he said sorry in public and sorted it out with the player(s) in private, but he was too dumb to give the public the apology they feel they deserve and that's created this shitshow. Now his only option is to resign. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Dreamer Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Well they usually kiss each other on the cheeks not directly on the mouth like lovers, but I do agree that this would have been a nothinburger if he had been less arrogant and stupid. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
