  1. No not low on money. Just sometimes prefer to be on a bike
  2. I know that FC United attracted middle aged hooligans banned from watching United. They were known in non league circles for smuggling cheap lager into the grounds and bullying young opposition fans.... Little or no segregation
  3. I am. What's the drive like down to Kata from the airport? Scenic at all?
  4. Of course I like Nev, but I don't like it when he pretends to be something he's not, i.e. political activist or in this case, media expert. The leaks might not be from the players. The stories might be from an agent, made up, or even from a contact related to a different club. We probably get more news coverage than any other club, so of course there are going to be stories around the team. It's the least of our worries.
  5. Sounds like some Thai avocados. The Haas variety have a much bigger window to eat I think
  6. Very true.... and this actually happened to me on Samui fairly recently (was drenched for flight to Bangkok and on to CM). I might check the weather before flying.
  7. Thing is I will need a bike for the duration of the trip, so makes sense to just get one there
  8. Thanks mate. Thought about it and I will just rent a bike from near the airport. Bag can easily go on the back
  9. So what can I expect to pay for taxy from the airport to Kata beach? I'm thinking the best plan may be to rent a bike from near the airport. Any options there?
  10. I see Grabs aren't allowed in Phuket airport. What's the best way of getting to say Rawai or Patong? Taxis the only option? And what's the price? Cheers
  11. I didn't mention Pogba Owl because he's been injured a lot and I would be completely shocked if he signed another contract. Expect him to go at the end of this season. Will be happy if he can contribute between now and the end of the season, but unfortunately his lack of a football brain still makes him a liability.
  12. You've touched on a few different points Owl so I'll try and break them down one by one. In my opinion.... Scholes was one of the best players ever but isn't the best pundit. He started off the programme by praising the improvement in overall play under Rangnick and worshipping Glen Hoddle (strange), and then ended it by suggesting we needed someone else. Total flip flop I think the truth is Ralf is working with the remanents of Ole's team. He needs another couple of seasons to put his stamp on the team, whether that's as a front line coach, or as a consultant working with a manager like Ten Haag or Potch. It's always a fine line between reacting too quickly and backing a manager long term. But if we don't give this guy time then what's the point? On the youth policy, we have the likes of Rashford, Elanga and McTominay playing in the first team, and kids such as Garner and Hanibal waiting in the wings. I think that is evidence that the United youth policy is still working, especially when you compare the players to have broken through vs our 'rivals'. The worrying thing about the present situation is that we have a problem at both ends of the pitch in the form of Maguire and Ronaldo. Both might be hard to drop - Maguire is the captain and an expensive signing, while Ronny is a legend who is on ridiculous wages. I think the ballsy move now with Cavani out would be to try Rashford (who needs something to spark him into life) through the middle and drop Ronaldo. As for Harry, I just think dropping and stripping your captain just isn't the done thing halfway through the season. Maybe better to stick with it and hope he rediscovers his Euros form. That's my two penny's worth
  13. ????‍♂️ It's Monday. The brain take a while to warm up.
  14. Good shout that I reckon. He did cross my mind.
  15. Really had the feeling Ronaldo would start today, score and then stay in the team for the second game ..... But I played it safe and put Bruno in. Any selection dilemmas you'd like to share Wilai?
  16. How important is the World Club Cup? Heard Chelsea fans that winning one PL game is more important to them.
  17. The finishing is a big problem mate, as are the defensive lapses. But overall we have played well in the last two games. I'd rather be in that position than playing <deleted> and getting lucky wins.
  18. Some Saturday food for thought..... Earlier in the season under Ole we were scraping victories thanks to individual moments of brilliance, and playing terribly for most of the game. These last two games, we have dominated possession, shown that we have some kind of game plan on the pitch, created loads of chances, and just failed to put the ball in the back of the net.... Those early season victories felt like frauds. Whereas recently we don't feel like we are getting what we deserve. I know which I would prefer looking to the future
