That was the first time I’ve properly watched United since they somehow beat us on the opening day, and they were so, so poor. I can’t believe how bad they were. The players just didn’t look interested. You’re playing for Manchester United, one of the all-time great football clubs, in a local derby, after your club’s greatest-ever player has just died.
And yet they played the game like it was a training session. There’s no leadership and no desire. If not for Onana City could’ve had 6 or 7! What a mess of a club. I think Ten Hag is genuinely a fraud, but sacking him won’t change anything. There’s something rotten at the heart of Manchester United, and until that’s removed nothing will change.
Oh, and Antony’s a twat and Fernandes is a moaning fucking manchild. Captain my arse.
Germany’s collective guilt over the Holocaust has gone way, way, way overboard. There’s a pretty huge gap between a) opposing Israeli war crimes and their indiscriminate murder of innocent civilians; and b) hating Jews and wanting them exterminated. It is not anti-Semitic to oppose the actions of the state of Israel; indeed, many Jews are opposed to them.
That was a stonewall penalty. Taylor should’ve booked every City player that complained. You can’t surround the ref like that.
