Stretford Galacticos 1 City 2 Stats Link & Post Match Reaction & Debate

This is an excellent piece and well worth a read.

I often struggle to find accurate, balanced articles on football in the English media......why does it take an Irish newspaper to be able to produce something so reasonable?

Mourinho will loathe that comparison to Wenger. Love it :010:

On the downside from yesterday’s game, Jesus may be in some bother after a tumblehe tookinthe first half. Calls being made for him to get a two game ban from the Diving panel.

Given the media desperation to find any consolation in their misery of our defeat of their favourites I can see this gaining traction as the red supporting hacks highlight it.

Can't be done, he didn't successfully deceive a referee.

Some desperate straw clutching going on in a couple of those.

If that is the case then surely the same applies to Herrera for planting his foot against NO30's and then falling over?

It's not the case on either.

The retrospective action comes in when a player has successfully deceive a match official. In neither of these cases was a match official successfully deceived, so nothing to see here.
 
The FA are to investgate water/milkgate as the incident was not included in Michael Oliver's report.

an extract worthy of note, a very good read written I suspect by a United fan?

"After all, the underwhelming trio of Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku and Mkhitaryan cost £220m between them, a sum which would have netted you De Bruyne, Sane and Raheem Sterling and left you with the £56m which bought Nicolas Otamendi and Gabriel Jesus."
 
Our win coupled with Arsenal and Liverpool dropping points - does this mean that the title is now a three horse race? Having said that it would now appear to be ours to lose.

 
Can you imagine the furor and media frenzy - It is early days still not half way through the season, one game at a time.

If this was with 10 games to go I would be very happy.
 
Stuart Brennan on Milk Gate and respect.

Ander Herrera “ I think we controlled the game. It is true we played most of the time in our half, but we didn’t have too many problems.

Jesus seems to have gone of the boil a bit,is it the weather
Click to expand...

He has gone off the boil but I don't believe it's the weather, he arrived in winter last season and was on fire until his injury.

Aguero is off the boil too at the minute, which makes this run of wins all the more impressive when both our main goalscorers aren't producing the goods.
 
Another piece here from Stuart Brennan that gives insight on why Jesus got the nod ahead of Aguero.
