I'd love Bianca Westwood to be the person covering Stevenage games in future, obviously a good luck charm for us today. A 6-1 win over Hartlepool.

I think that most of the players that play today. Wouldn't have lasted five minutes in the days of Dave Mackay.

In today's games, there are so many 'actors' on the field. And referees should be bringing out the book more often. Diving in the box. Fouls off the ball - which is why they have a linesman.

I am surprised that no one has picked this one. And this l think will bring the cobwebs out in the open.

You obviously didn't read The Daddys post two before yours Arthur. ;)

I love the mixed metaphors about the cobwebs though. :)

On the ironic side, it's a miracle she was made a saint. Could use that as one of two miracles needed to obtain it. Shouldnt be shocked that the Catholic church conveniently dodges her controversies much like they dodged Child abuse for years.

The special one seems to be finding there is someone who is more special then he is.:D

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Really should've got something from that game, even though we were absolutely dreadful in the first 40 minutes. Bravo very, very lucky not to get a red card and give away a penalty for that challenge on Rooney imo!

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Man Utd were outplayed for the vast majority of the match as City had 17 shots and 60% possession so they were deserved winners and in the last 10 minute Man Utd resorted to the long ball to try to get something out of the game..

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Moments change games though, it was a great tactical display by both managers, back and forth, Pep neutralized it with a gtsy move subbing Nacho off. With that being said, Bravo being rightfully sent off and a penalty given changes everything. Winning the ball or not, he lunges in studs showing. He had an absolute stinker and its a miracle he made the 90 minutes.

I'd be annoyed too.

Whatever the result it was a great game of football something the Premier League has been lacking for a while in my opinion.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Indeed l thoroughly enjoyed it.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Just back home from Old Trafford, excellent game to watch, City deserved to shade it on their first half parformance .
