Apologies if that sounded facetious, it wasn’t my intention. My point was that’s getting wound up about people getting wound up about something is basically the same thing. I agree with you bit I also agree with the people who it winds up.

Genuinely do not have any dislike toward him really but he's absolutely a clown and with the club in the state it's in, it's not received well.
How many 26 year olds do you see acting like that? Aside from the mentally challenged ones.

It’s Rashford I feel most for. Imagine choosing that as your style mentor. Poor kid.

He's a clown who has made a brand for himself off the back of a good 5 or 6 weeks. Got to give him that even if it is reluctantly. In a few years kids wearing JLingz gear will be bullied so can you blame him for milking whatever appeal he has now? It's business!

I'm not wound up by it, I just find it odd behaviour. I know this forum is about repeating yourself endlessly and I'm as guilty as the next man but people seem to genuinely loathe the bloke and yet eat up anything he posts.

Honestly, I think he has some attributes both on and off the pitch that I would want any United player to represent. It's not enough to earn you a first team spot but local lad and academy product from the age of 8 are a distinguishing feature of our history and almost unique among top clubs. On the pitch he is good technically, sounds basic but when you consider that we have a £75m striker incapable of using his weaker foot, controlling a ball or weighting a pass you realise you can't take it for granted. I'd love him to score more goals of the likes he has scored previously but I'm under no illusions that he is good enough to be consistent enough to do that. Still prefer him to watching Mata mind.

Is it possible that none of us are actually getting worked up at all; merely commenting on the state of the club? Isn’t that what this place is for?

Let’s test it out..”Woodward is a chinless cretin who should never have been allowed to escape from the the accountant’s cubicle he was spawned in.”

Yep, resting HR 58, same as before....

Yep, if he was playing at a club that was a his level he wouldn't have this brand.

Fair enough, but it IS possible to have an opinion on Pogba, Lukaku, Sanchez and Lingard simultaneously - unless you’re Siders that is.

Lingard got grandfathered into the team because of a perfect storm of us being shit, slow and unsuccessful. The fact he was a homegrown that ran a lot and had energy in spades; but even from the beginning his movement was married with some of the worst positional discipline I’ve even seen in a United player. He rarely contributes game changing shifts, and if his performances could be evaluated with out the rose-tinted glasses of academy nostalgia he wouldn’t have made it past half a season - which would have been consistent with his time at Birmingham, Brighton and Derby.

He’s a Man Utd player, but he would never get near a serious Man Utd team. As for getting “wound up”, well any human with self awareness would realize that now is not the time for this nonsense. Any time he chooses to appear #@&%!ed in public some of it rubs off on the club.

It's possible, just seems pretty vitriolic.

We'll have to disagree there, of all our players he is one of the more likely (again extremely low bar) to change the the shift and create some intent. As for self-awareness, I don't many of our players have it.

Don’t players like this accidently create and score goals every now and then?

As a player he’s all hat, no cowboy.

Why would anyone, in any profession, whose role requires intelligence and creativity actively choose to appear educationally challenged?

It’s mystifying.

They didn’t have the means but I think you’re missing the point a bit. I doubt most people would care if he did kids parties as a sideline or knocked about with Harvey Price as long as he did his bit on the pitch. Beckham, Best, Cantona, Keane just to name a few all had their issues off the pitch but no one gave a flying £#%&! because they were busting their %@#$&!s off week I week out to help us win league titles.
