Anyone who says that was knocked out by Kennedy and should be a try to Penrith doesnt know what they want in the game. Keep the onus on the ball carrier to keep control otherwise we'll be arguing about whether the defender knocking the ball out or getting his hand under the ball #NRL #RugbyLeague

So my guess is the ref called a pen for only what Maguire did and they missed of what de Ligt did. They never wouldve called a foul for de Ligt so not clear and obvious error. They can only look at Maguire and theres no way hes fouled him. Right decision made in a roundabout way #var #EVEMUN #MUFC

Oof Im beginning to think #SurvivorAU might be a cast of characters more than players. There was a lot of amateur stuff going on on that Brains tribe tonight

Each season of #SurvivorAU I make a bet to win a croissant after ep 1 to pick someone to go furtherest vs my wife. This year, I landed on Rich. No idea why but I think the guy gets it. Wife picked Kaelan (poor guy got no air time - solid reasoning from the missus) Notable mentions Jesse and Karin

Hunt and Gosiewski never looked good enough last year but now look like theyre genuine options based on their showing so far for the Broncos #nrl

One thing Im liking about Broncos so far is they seem super fit in hot conditions. Titans have had none of it #nrl

People saying Salah TC > Moyes AM feels short sighted. I get to bring in Slot or Emery this week and will probably play TC in another dgw for Isak later on. Think Ill be net positive when reviewing the AM/TC plays this season #fpl

The idea that story-driven games aren’t replayable is so strange to me. I eventually bounce off every multiplayer game because I get bored, but I go back to story games again and again just like rewatching a favorite movie, or to experience something new

Speaking of Insta is absolutely how I see it as well. It feels like everything he does is about building his brand. His decision making is often whats best for him and not whats best for the team. I see a very talented individual but not a team player.

Get in United!!! Winning unwinnable games is just the United way! Spectacular defending and chances to win before pens. Every oen was world class and so happy for Bayindir and Zirkzee #ggmu #facup #arsman

So i dont know why i just did this but ive added up my bench points for just the players who hauled double digits in the last 7 weeks and discovered if i got my team right each week, id presently be joint 736th in the world at the minute..Im sure everyone has the same story though 🤣 #fpl

Here's a reminder of the calendar up to GW38. EVE vs LIV is expected to move to GW24. my chip plan is: - TC Salah in GW24 then probably - Wildcard in GW30 - Assistant Manager in GWs 31-33 (inc. DGW33) - Free Hit in BGW34 - Bench Boost in DGW36

I'll be honest - Im so unsure on the structure and who has what say anymore. My understanding was that Ratcliffe brought in Berrada to run things and technically Ratcliffe only has the say of a board member. My point stands though that whatever the actual issue was, it was foreseeable 5 months ago

Brian de Groot @degrootb.bsky.social · 08/12/2024
Im seeing things like Ratcliffe and Berrada were underwhelmed by his list of potential head coach targets including Southgate, Potter, Marco Silva etc. Um..did this sort of question not come up in the interview?? Did they not know the exact suggestions he would come up with?

Would love to see Arsenal's open play xG. I dont think it was unkind of @23carra.bsky.social to have compared them to a Mourinho team. They don't seem to create many chances unless its from a corner

Look, all power to him but there is a fair list of ex union and league players who havent made a roster and I dont think hes more naturally talented than any of them. It can be a cruisey life on a practice squad though

I genuinely dont know what our lineup vs Arsenal will look like but Im not gonna argue. You can make cases for everyone. This has been such a marked improvement already under Amorim. Amad, Mazraoui, Bruno all great today. Rashford and Zirkzee great to see on the scoresheet! #muneve #mufc #ggmu

Delighted for Rashford and Zirkzee getting their goals but Amad Diallo has been outstanding. His work ethic, the way he keeps the ball - totally fearless. He’s the example for the rest to follow on Amorim’s team.

No idea how, but Ive managed to half my rank every week for 4 weeks now. Still have Isak and Hall to play. Really cant pinpoint where its gone well 🤣🤣 maybe the difference is selling Haaland to Cunha a month ago Only had 4 green arrows all season. Normal service to presumably resume soon. #FPL

Now I think I see whats happening. Guardiola realised that if his contract runs out, he wont get a payout. Now that he's sure theyre getting relegated anyway, hes tanking the season and lining his pockets with the spoils of a sacking. They wont win again all season. Genius move

Going to block anyone here who posts utter nonsense about “farmers’ leagues” or “cry more” or anything else just designed to get a cheap thrill. Has been nice to have civility and to not run into any of that since leaving the dark place.

Recent years have seen a lot of attention around the amount of drop in a running shoe which has led to many questions of whether this influences injury risk.

Havent done this in forever!Would love some opinions for this week. Im not at all confident with my bench set up but thinking Brentfords away form and Mbuemos slow down justifies a benching this week. Any transfers would be for a hit #FPL

Im happier to frame that as Woodward/Arnolds spending. Ten Hag made it clear he didnt set the budget, he just asked for players. This summer has already shown the ownership know how to find value. Less spending does not mean less players and does not equal less quality either

Im super interested to see when the Academy teams start playing 343 and which players will play where. Wilcox was brought in with the remit of getting the Academy ready to produce first team players and that includes establishing a clubwide United Way
