His business model is a complete non-starter.

Great news - We don't want anyone to like us ????

Anyone else read the article on Greenwood in The Athletic.

 

Not sure if it has been leaked by the club in anticipation of him being let go, but it doesn't look good. His attitude towards senior players is said to be "aloof" and he was having regular parties during Covid lockdown.... among other stuff

 

The annoying this is he is an amazing talent! Maybe only comparable to Rooney in recent years in terms of his potential.

[RedArmy]

Imo, <deleted> Greenwood.

 

What fcuks me off,even more,  every time i log inrto Sky sports, its all about women's <deleted> football - This does my <deleted> ing swede in

Told you it was he who was leading Foden astray when in Norway was it?

[NE1]

It appears that Mason Greenwood has gone down a similar path to Ravel Morrison , both highly talented yet couldn't control their off pitch activities.

It wasn't a shove and wasn't done in a confrontational way.

 

But I wouldn't complain if he did get in trouble for that.

Kavanagh deliberately chose not to use var when offences were made in the Utd penalty area, or when Antony kicked out twice at a defender, but couldn't wait to rush over to see an obvious handball. No issue with the handball, although he had originally signalled for a corner..

But this ref has been well dodgy in previous Fulham games, which was partly what caused the frustration shown towards him.

 

Anyway the FA are happy and looking forward to the all-Manchester final

Ah so it's a ridiculous conspiracy theory you were hinting at.

 

Yes, it's true you support a nice little club by the river that nobody cares about. But to suggest that bigger clubs can somehow influence referees in this day and age is stupid.

 

Also stupid was the handball in the first place. You should have just let the ball go in, you would've been 1-1 with 11 v 11 with everything to play for.

 

Sorry, if you can't control your players on the pitch you don't deserve to be anywhere near a semi final. The deeper you get in a competition the cooler heads you need. The fact is you were way out of your depth and blew it.

Iceland is considered upmarket in Bolton I've heard. It's like your equivalent of Waitrose.

You're not wrong. M&S are pulling out of Bolton town centre. The outskirts are the places to be. Like Bury.

I went into Bury centre last year when I was back on holiday. City centre is a proper dump

Don't worry she didn't get married

Absolutely agree that McTominay would be ten times better than Weghorst up front. He has always been one to run into the six yard and hoping to latch on to a low cross. This is where Weghorst is terrible and exposed as slow and awkward. McTominay does need to work on passing and who better than Benni McCarthy to help him refine his skills. If he can score four goals at the International level, he can do it at the local level. I wonder if ETH has given it some thought?

The Mason Greenwood story keeps rumbling on What do you guys think should happen? On United Stand last night 62% voted he should be allowed to play, If they terminate his contract they have to pay him 8 million pounds, Seems like United are left holding the baby here.
