  • It’s all fun and games till you’re on the receiving end of it, and hilariously it didn’t take long, fuck them. Yeah nothing will change till clubs are united over it but that’s not going to be changed by people on reddit. They’re all applauding how “dignified” Howe was in not complaining, as if that’s the way to stop it happening again.

    You can’t be “robbed” when you concede 4xg - maybe try to win a game via something other than dirty play and fist pumping whenever you kick the ball out for an opposition throw. I’ve got zero sympathy for their luck running out, can’t get by on home ground advantage and referee assistance forever




  • Even though what he’s saying here is true I don’t think you can take a word he says on face value. He’s completely disingenuous in everything he says. As the frontman of Sky’s coverage he’s got this enormous platform to dictate football discourse and he’s so aware of it that barely a word he says isn’t intended to get a reaction of some sort.

    His repeated claims that he thinks we’ll win the league are probably partly driven by his fear of Fergies United side eventually being outshone by the current City side, and partly just setting himself up to use this as a stick to beat Arsenal with if City win again - which deep down he probably predicts


  • I get that this isn’t a popular take but that number of games is no different to what he’d be playing if he wasn’t in the 1st team, and nobody knows how individual players’ load is managed between games. The nutrition, treatment and sports science involved in how they look after themselves has never been better. The difference in what they know know vs the 90s is night and day

    For me it’s a bit of a stretch to suggest his ACL injury is purely a result of playing a lot of games
