February 28, 20206 yr Ighalo scores his first goal for Manchester United in a comfortable 5-0 win against Club Brugge. I missed most of the match and by the time I caught it Scott McTominay scored soon afterwards to make it 3-0 at the time. Tougher tests will be ahead but glad we're through, hopefully we'll go all the way in this competition but Inter will be very strong favourites. Arsenal meanwhile have been knocked out by Olympiacos. This probably rules out Champions League football again next season for them.
February 28, 20206 yr Author Did you see the handball 😂? Sounds like he had a bet on with that!! Why would United not be favourites?

March 12, 20206 yr Great win for Man United. Through to the quarter final already.. although that might not happen this season.

August 10, 20206 yr I feel a bit sorry for Copenhagen as it wasn't one of our best performances but we won which is what mattered most. Copenhagen's goal keeper made quite a lot of good saves but Bruno Fernandes was always going to score from the penalty spot, I don't think he's missed a penalty at all for us.
August 10, 20206 yr It's United they always get penalties 😜 It's absolutely baffling, makes absolutely no sense. Except it does, as the players are obviously coached to go down like a sack of spuds every time someone makes a challenge in the penalty area. Martial did the swan dive late in the 2nd half too when a brilliant challenge was made. With VAR as subjective as it is, it's not going to go against referees unless the player dives. Be interesting to see if it carries over in to next season. Surely even the most biased Man Utd fan cannot deny logic. Man Utd were awarded 15% of all penalties given in the Premier League in 2019/2020.. in a 20 team league. It's a throwback to Fergie's days :puke2:
August 11, 20206 yr Haven't seen last night's incident but there's no denying all but 2 of our penalties in the PL last season were stone-wall. Take out Fernandes v Villa & James v Norwich and I can't see any argument against all the others being definite pens. They even did a Sky Sports YouTube vid recently replaying them all. Players just need to stop fouling our players in the box :P But on your first point, yes that's true for all players. How many times have we seen players be too honest and stay on their feet when if they went down it would be a certain pen. Not sure what the answer is for this, refs are afraid to give pens if the players don't go down it seems.

Not sure what the answer is for this, refs are afraid to give pens if the players don't go down it seems. The problem isn't that they were stonewall, it's the consistency, the same manner is not applied across the PL. Liverpool and Man City scored the most goals last season, so by the logic you would assume they had the best attacking returns. I've seen it argued that Man Utd have "speedy" players.. I'm not sure what Sterling, Mane and Salah are then! :lol: There's no way this isn't brought up by managers next season in press conferences. 23% of all Man Utd goals have been penalties. I'm biased to the high heavens of course I am, but that is just logic defying.
August 16, 20206 yr Author To think I started this topic in the first week of June 2019 when Cliftonville were in the preliminary round vs Barry Island!! Man United knocked out by Sevilla 2-1!
August 16, 20206 yr To think I started this topic in the first week of June 2019 when Cliftonville were in the preliminary round vs Barry Island!! Man United knocked out by Sevilla 2-1! Best part was the post match "Utd need to spend money to compete", "They need a dominant centre half alongside Maguire" - just what have Man Utd been doing for the pasy 7 seasons?! :lol: They're miles off it collectively still, Maguire with some comedic defending for their first goal, on the same level of mesmerising GIF quality as the Sterling miss against Lyon. They should have buried one of those chances when they were all over Sevilla for 10-15 minutes, a lot of those shots were poor and straight at the keeper.
