Had a great time in Manchester staying Saturday night. My wife wore a scarf that night as we went out to celebrate, that prompted several comments from Citeh supports. I must say they were mostly along the lines of "you deserved it". The worst...
Just confirms that there is not necessarily any correlation between playing for your country and being an automatic pick for your club. And tbh i cannot see this changing anytime time soon, but being under contract until 2031 allows us to sell...
KA could have thought he would not have made an impact in a game that we were chasing with 10 men, especially if he was getting over an injury. Better to rest and get him fully fit for the battles ahead. Sometimes its better to cut your losses.
The way it was played out in the press, MU just let him carry on coming into the ground every day, it must have been very difficult, with Carrick getting the latest updates in the press. Dont think the Sage situation was so blatent, and i believe...
Whatever you think of Carrick he does not deserve to be treated like he has. You dont treat people how MU have handled his sacking. He is married, has a family, and afaik is a decent human being. Very shameful from a club like MU, how they have...
MU have been so disrespectful to Michael Carrick in the way this transition has taken place, they have no class. The high standards that once epitomized the club have long gone, they are in a sorry state. Whatever you think of Michael Carrick he...
I think the point that was being made was how far the club has come, international call ups are now very frequent from whatever country, where not too long ago we had the odd player playing for Malta or whoever, if we were lucky.
Real champions know when its the right time to walk away, i just get the feeling that if the Portugal team manager did not have the balls to drop him he would still be playing. Its all about CR. You cannot argue with the stats its a significant...
I think staying up is huge. The financials alone are a massive incentive, and who is to say Palace wouldnt go into free fall once relegated from the PL, especially after having to sell 3 or 4 key players.
It makes me think even more that football does not show itself to be fair to all clubs, preferential treatment, corruption or whatever word you choose but it stinks. There are many more examples.
Fair enough, the reason not to pick him is because we have another 2 very capable CBs who have been exceptional this season, but that obviously is up for debate. Personally i dont think there is much between them all, and the 2 who played against...
Agree, but your point was that Collins should be recalled to the starting lineup, my question remains who do you drop (other descriptions are available).
