Regarding Alfies insight in to the workings of TV Football forum, allow me to add mine.

There are those of us who try to post 'in the spirit of a football forum' - not necessary to mention who we are - and then there are those who just make negative 'sniper' posts deriding the posts of others cause it's easier - you know who you are!

 

"The spirit of the football forum"

I hazard a guess the discussion may be about football and in some cases the snipers will pounce if you are caught providing inaccurate information and show a lack of knowledge, especially in the event of one's own team. This happens an awful lot but is valuable as it creates discussion and this is a forum and therefore requires contributions.

Those inaccuracies should be highlighted and the differences of opinion are just that and should not be taken too seriously even they are often drawn out over long periods by posters.

Banter is a big part of football it is demonstrated by rival fans worldwide.

The chavs thread is a very knowledgeable thread and focuses on team tactics/selection and they keep themselves very tight (unlike their defence this next week) and rarely venture out of their own thread. 

Is this the blueprint for the footy forum to stick with your own kind and be segregated from other fans? 

I hope not but if that is what you seek there is a button for that but that button also needs to used by disciplined people. Some just cannot help themselves.

He signed a new 4 yr deal in July til 2022 which raised a few  eyebrows. 

 

Which team do you follow again?

She's an Exeter fan. Really well run club they only had one dodgy director done for fraud in the last 5 years besides that they are the bees knees.

I’m surprised he didn’t come on Saturday once 3 up 

He's getting the same treatment the Oxe was given and that proved a master stroke and revved that lad up big time. Hope it works again.

Yeah, I thought it was precautionary, that's not good if it's worse.

 

Wonder what team will play on Wednesday, bit of a dilemma for Klopp. Play a strong side, keep momentum, make a point to beat them, Does that give us an advantage on the weekend?

Time to unleash fabinho. I'd prefer we just cut loose of this cup now but we are at home and it could give them a bit of confidence with the league game at their ground. That guy must be absolutely chomping at the bit to get on. Surely he's in on this one. 

Just now, BangrakBob said:

Ah shit I need to sort that out.

 

Haha, I've only had one encounter with a lad in skimpy briefs, Dutch with massive legs. While I lived in Samui, only lasted 2 rounds. It was full contact, elbows were allowed. 

Ditch with massive legs. Sounds like Vvd.

I hope this rib injury heals quickly. Looking doubtful for some key games

Is my profile pic not there, it's a question mark on my system?

Yh it's been missing a while that.

I was referring to the poster though you know the one bob. You and another lad in skimpy briefs looked like you both were looking for a bit of full on contact.

Just now, BangrakBob said:

What poster is it that you are referring to? 

The one with the lipstick 

Just now, Bredbury Blue said:

Bob, yes you????

 

 

Get your poster up bob show him what's it's like to be lean and err mean!

...but you know that they will get it back at some point....

I do not think it will be like before for them for a very long time. That era of domination coincided with a very strong set of academy graduates too and as good as rashford is, the rest still have question marks. Fergie was getting a much higher output from players too,  remember those twins he had two brazilch lads it might of been.

Just watched the United v Wolves game for the second time.Its pretty obvious with a 0 goal difference and while the defence appears shaky at times they are simply are not scoring the goals they should .Possession figs not always are a reliable stat but it was 64 % in United's favour and shots on goal negligble.

 

To sum up there is simply no chemistry among attackers in the final third.Lukaku and Sanchez were so poor it was like playing with 9 men.Their overall player ratings were abysmal.

 

Valencia cant get down the right flank any more so everything is coming from the left flank,so predictable.......Oh for Zaha.... sold for 3 m

 

Its hard to believe that Sanchez could be so poor.He's rested and is just a shadow of what he was.

 

If I was Mourinho for mid week v Derby.I would bench Lukaku and stick Sanchez in the no 9 spot and be hinting he's on shaky ground.

Lampard may well feel United are vunerable ,play his best team,and surely Dalot, Jones ,Bailly and Young will be among likely starters in the back 4.

 

I suggest some are being a bit hard on Lindelof,he looks more than nervous totally different from his WC appearances when he was playing quality opposition,give him time.

 

No idea why people still going on about Maguire .He's made it very clear that Leceister is his home until he decides he wants out ,new contract ,more money whats the incentive to move ?

 

Until United start putting teams away after leading nothing is going to change but credit to Wolves, haven't seen a better team come up from the Championship for long time and playing the same side week in, week out.Without De Gea's usual heroics they well could have had 3 points.

  

Shocking comment from a united fan just utterly shocking.

"What's the incentive to move"

If that is not a sign of a team well and truly on a downward path I do not know what is.

But it's true, United simply do not have the glamour tag of yesteryear.

Always use Tripadvisor.

 

I think the best guide I've come across is https://www.rideasia.net/motorcycle-forum/

So let me get this straight bareback. your our intention is to drive in a car and the best guide you can find is one that is based on motorcycling routes?

Charity shield = major honours Lol.

Maguire lacks the panache of vvd and toby but as defenders go he has a lot to offer and would shore up the Defence at United. Yh he's not as good as those 2 but he's better than most defenders in the PL and he did not get in the England team on the basis of anything but being the best option and he proved the decision was a good one. 

Just now, RickG16 said:

 

 

I'm not basing my opinion of him just on bringing the ball out from the back. Been impressed with his defending too but I take your word for it that he's looked questionable recently.

 

 It looks like Mourinho wanted him. But I guess we all know better than Jose do we? Wouldn't be the first time ????

I thought he looked a dud at first but I've watched him and I think he is a good old fashioned no nonsense defender who can play a bit too. He may be suffering of late due to a busy summer.

Let's hope perez busts a gut now

Just now, RickG16 said:

Fork out for Maguire... Toby... I'm not sure. I'm not a scout and don't have the chance to watch as much footy as I used to.

 

I still believe Bailly is the real deal... But other than that we need proven world class central defender. Even someone in the Laurent Blanc mould such as Bonucci or Chielini, someone who might not be the quickest but knows the role inside out and has performed at the highest level.

 

Maybe Pique fancies coming back...  

So what's the solution Rick?

Get Match of the day aired in thailand?

Just now, mrbojangles said:

Darn it. Looks like we agree on something. But then, I suppose he is the most expensive defende

I think behind closed doors you also agree that Aguero is not the best foreign Prem player ever.

Just now, RickG16 said:

It's clear now that this is all Woodward's fault. As you say central defence is the problem, and it's frustrating because we are very close to being a very good side in all other areas of the pitch. 

 

But like it or not we need to stick with Lindelhof and co til at least January. So now is not the time to hang them out to dry. Smalling has actually improved a lot and Victor is stilk young....

 

Let's stick together, and hope the better parts of the team (GK, midfield etc) can make up for the lack of world class central defenders.

So what's the quick fix solution cone January then Rick?

Toby for 60m?

After assessing the Defence of every premiership team I can honestly say Virgil is the best defender in the league.

How's it looking cheggers?

I've noticed over the years R2D2 that you go thread to thread telling rival fans all doom and gloom crap but you rarely post on your beloved Liverpool forum. Got you figured lad.

Well spotted trigg. I do like to provide analysis where I see fit and it's not always negative it is always realistic and by no means is it done to provoke
