Just Stop Oil

I love Rashford, for his political stance, plus he seems like a decent bloke. But that is stupid money, no- one is worth that. Except, they literally are.

United really are THE most boring team in the Premier League.
It's awful to watch. All the other games have been entertaining.....and Wolves look really decent. But United look dull. They weren't much better last season either.
The atmosphere is appauling as well.

Wolves was probably a tricker fixture than what met the eye. A lot of off the field issues and nobody expected anything and I think a lot have written them off for the season, so they had a point to prove at a place where they really have no right to win. Thought the 3 in midfield for Wolves have been really good and Semedo has been excellent at RB as well. They carry a threat going forward, but same old issue, they don't take their chances (assuming they don't before the end).

United haven't looked great tonight by any means though having said that. The best player on the pitch for United has probably been Onana actually. Commanding, made some smart saves when needed to although most have been relatively routine and has played some intelligent passes in the game as well for a goalkeeper. Assuming he keeps a clean sheet here, as good a debut as it could be.

And of course clattering aimlessly into opponents on a cross.
How have Wolves lost that.

Very promising from Utd.

They could give a fair bit of fun this season.

Given two other VAR reviews over the weekend that give pens with the slightest of contact, how did Onana escape that?

He's a Man United player at Old Trafford.

Same reason Fernandes was allowed to push the official at Anfield last season

As much as Saturday was a tough watch, in the grand scheme of things, you do wonder if you’re better off away from the higher powers of the Prem. Money prevails

:lol: Yeah I know within 5 minutes of me saying he was commanding he goes and nails somebody. God knows how that wasn't given as a penalty in the end. Wolves can certainly feel hard done by.

Simon Hooper and Salisbury the VAR man became the latest referees to bottle it at Old Trafford.
No surprise and very disappointing for Wolves who weren't afraid to take the game to Man Utd and on another might have scored 3 or 4.

As well as his boxing skills Onana was impressive.

After trailing his reintegration heavily and realising it would go down like a bucket of sick, United have confirmed that Mason Greenwood will leave the club.

Which was the decision they should have reached a long time ago - massive PR own goal really.

Best thing for him is to disappear to a club on the continent, if one will have him, or more likely he'll get a move to Saudi.

He'll surely have to go abroad to have the remotest chance in hell of getting a career out of the game. Hoping he doesn't rock up here at some point as the club look for free agents.

He is a very young man who has obviously mad horrific life decisions. We have no idea about his upbringing or past experiences that have made him the way he is so whilst what he has done is disgusting I would rather not join the pile on.

I think he should be given a chance to rehabilitate and ty to become a better person. He absolutely cannot do that here though, he needs to go away and start again and get the help he obviously needs. I will add to that point that Manchester United should do all they can financially for the victim in terms getting her support to move forward and to make up for any financial losses she has suffered in the past couple of years.

I only caught the tail end of their game at Spurs on Saturday but once again they were not very good.

Can't say I've followed this since it 1st blew up, but I thought he was back with the woman who made the original claims against him and (of course) that she had no further desire to pursue him, hence the case falling apart.

He has claimed (of course) and, reading between the lines, Man Utd seem to support this, that he didn't actually do what he was accused of. (But yeah, the taped stuff suggested it was very real, but who know what young millionaires and their sexual partners get up to behind closed doors?)

He does seem like a right objectionable individual but I suppose, although unlikely, there is a possibility he's been badly done by, that it is his ex / current partner who has the real issues and that he is actually a victim.

There's a possibility she's gaslighted him but then why marry her if that's the case?

Thinking about the possible explanations to this but, to be frank, it all comes back to him being a coercive, controlling thug.
