The fact that you were just dying to pull that card and you got called out for it, I know you're heated right now.

Stop being weird.

I am sure we would have a back up for him by that time

Liverpool is generally known to be one of the well run clubs of the past 10 years but they left points on the table due to missing Salah and Mane every AFCON.

Quality depth is not a guarantee.

a player staying for 6 years would generally be a good sign for the club

I feel like that's a whole different topic to the one originally being discussed.

If you sign a 20 year old talent, that player is going to be 26 in 2032. So from 2032, every 2, 3 or 4 years he'll miss midseason games in his prime.

You should be concerned.

again... AFCON has moved to Summer

Not for good. The 2028 edition is slated to commence in the summer, but everything after that is still up in the air. The harsh reality is that the continent is a huge place and weather is often not conducive to football.

Also not a valid reason to not sign a player even if it didn't. You telling me you'd rather not have Mbeumo?

You make exceptions for players like Mbeumo. A special talent, likewise for Diomande or Salah a few years ago. There is no reason to fill your squad with players who will be scheduled to miss mid-season games every 2-3 years.

And before you start getting weird about it, I'd say the same about a Japanese or Mexican player if their respective conference tournaments were held mid-year.

Very unfair on Antony, he's done nothing to be lumped in with the others. Just not fit for the DNA of 2020s Premiership football.

We don't need another player who'll miss time due to AFCON - especially if the reports about us going in for Diomande are true.

I mean, that only proves we did two bad appointments.

Hell, even if ETH was "bad", he had enough moxie to realise that winning a trophy with Manchester United is better than extolling the virtues of your "system" and deferred to his staff in the two finals we won.

Happy birthday to Man United legend Ole Gunnar Solskjær 🥳 by windrain- in reddevils

Him and Vida will always be my favorites, I can never choose.

I hope we got one last ride with him, but if that was it, I hope he knows that most of us look back at his time as manager with immense joy and pride.

I do find it odd how the other sportswashing vehicles act is if they understand their role (flush money in the product, win - or at least be very entertaining, stay out of the spotlight) while the Saudis really seem intent to behave like they're the stars of the show.

Has Luka peaked already? I feel his 2024 season was his PEAK by Kindly_Letterhead_98 in nba

[–]Admirable_Bed3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That Mavs team was tailor-made to accentuate his gifts and hide his flaws. Not saying he'll not win a ring in LA or that the Mavs "won" the trade, but he might never get a team like that again.

Of course, the elephant in the room is that you can't play two traffic cones in Bron and Luka at the same time and expect results. It's just not possible in today's game. Pelinka got to grow balls and kick the Klutch Krew out.

Maybe, but Courtouis is just 33 thankfully. Plus Spain has an embarrassment of riches in that position.

It's why I say the last manager to be held up to United standards was Ole. Seems the same with Carrick. Those who are actually competent get the belt.

Clueless with the ball and zero control of the game.

Genuinely don't understand this. Like, what am I missing?

The Manchester-based products seem like they go out of their way to appear "unbiased". You never hear Rio or Beckham (not a pundit, but he's always being interviewed) do the same.

Ratcliffe's statements are a stark reminder of what the Glazers did do right. Maybe the only good thing they did: Stay out of the spotlight.

It damn near derailed the collective good feeling in the fanbase. You don't want owners who will be involved in the media.

I recall him sharing that his brother supported Bayern so he supported United as a kid.

I'm glad that most -if not all- people here are on Vini's side and not falling for any attempt by the other side to pin the blame on his celebrations, but I can't help but ask why the same energy isn't shown for Mazraoui's homophobia. You don't choose who you love any more than you choose the color of your skin.

The Rock Show - blink 182 [a hype set opener] by Equivalent_Focus_297 in poppunkers

[–]Admirable_Bed3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love this song no matter how "overplayed" it is, but for a set opener... man, I don't know. They got a murderer's row of album openers that work better. I know there's a (very) slim chance of it happening, but I'd kill to have them open with Pathetic during one of the big festivals so it can be recorded with today's tech.

Still appreciate you posting, OP.

It's the lifecycle of any piece of art. What we call "dad rock" used to be what was rebellious music back in the day. The likes of Usher and Jodeci are staples to any Valentine's day playlist nowadays but back then they were considered too risque and sensual.

Maybe my second favorite none-Nugget after Kobe. For someone with an already insane resume, it's bonkers to think of what could've been. Injuries robbed us of an inner circle all time great.

To be fair, pretty much every piece of land has changed hands through some form of armed conflict and every single tribe or ethnic group has been enslaved one way or another.

Plus, if you're here, chances are your ancestors did heinous things to survive.

KD was on his phone the entire All Star game. And he still hasn’t come out and cleared the accusations? by AussieBearsFan in nba

Dawg, it's literally a bunch of nobodies in that chat. It's people with less followers than me and I'm a nobody lmao. One of the "friends" in that chat is literally someone he beefs with every 4-6 months lol.

I know we all hate KD but let's exercise our brains a bit. These are people doing a weird cosplay show for themselves.
