Decent read…

No surprise that a non-British writer is fairer and more insightful than the vast majority of our own hacks.

Not heard from reddles for a bit actually.

Thanks for this - quite an emotional and interesting read. I particularly like the historical context.

Great read, cheers pal

Just sick of your spamming decent threads. Read the article then comment or move on.

No problem. Very long, but it’s the best piece I’ve read for a while.

I did read it, hence my comment on the second post of this thread.

Sparky's post genuinely made me laugh, sorry if that upsets you.

Thanks for posting, that was a really good read.

And for balance, here's what our own papers can offer. Once again writing the narrative they would have liked to happen, rather than what actually did.

West Ham had been every inch the equal of their opponents: defending bravely, moving the ball up the pitch with intelligence, taking the initiative and packing the United area with bodies

Ronaldo, who aside from his customary goal seemed to spend most of the afternoon walking, grimacing and trying to win penalties.

Hate those customary goals.

He's taken it on a step further and claims Ronaldo is going to impede Sancho and Greenwood at Utd

Greenwood and Sancho pay price of Ronaldo’s presence

Cristiano Ronaldo scored and Manchester United won. Outstanding news for both. But as United scraped their way to a slightly fortunate victory, you still wonder about their attacking efficiency. The tactic of piling crosses into the box may suit Ronaldo and to a lesser extent Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba, who can both deliver well and feast on second balls. But it’s hard to see where Mason Greenwood – who thrives on quick interchanges and short passes and who had a thwarted, frustrating afternoon – fits into this picture. Ditto Jadon Sancho, a late substitute here, or Marcus Rashford when he returns. Still, Ronaldo scored and United won. Perhaps for now, that’s all that matters
