Pogba to stay?

But he produces moments. Both assists against Chelsea were just world class. And his play to earn the penalty was brilliant too. If he'd just let the form goalscorer take it we'd be here after a couple of games with Pogba having been decisive in two wins, for all his faults.

Absolutely agree. Still think he needs selling though.

By people they know. Not by anonymous trolls. Defining what random idiots do on twitter as abuse or bullying is silly. It has zero power over anyone’s life unless they give it power through fragile mental health. If anyone is bothered by such things, seek help because such fragile people won’t be able to function in society.

I'm talking about the media led critique of him as a player..

not the mindless drivel on twitter

Apparently it’s not mindless drivel. It’s serious abuse and bullying that somehow causes people to kill themselves.

Hasn't our manager said Rashford now will?

You're on an internet forum with a bunch of recurring people you don't know. That's how the internet works. People find communities and places they become a part of. You don't think people, especially young people, can experience rejection or bullying in such places?

Not saying there's an easy solution, but wouldn't dismiss it out of hand either. Absolving people for being @#%&!s online doesn't wash.

I've warmed to him more since the beginning of the season, he's somewhere between the peak of short lived super powers he showed last season, and the utter dross he served up for the majority of the rest of it. He looks like he is at least putting some effort into his game now, despite making some stupid decisions sometimes.

But he doesn't want to be here and he's made that clear, so he can £#%&! off as soon as another club can put up the money to get him out of United. I wouldn't miss him one bit once he goes.

And he shouldn't take another penalty for the rest of his time at the club. Someone needs to tell him he's shite at them (preferably without the racist abuse).

If they do, they have other underlying issues, either with their mental health or problems in the real world. How about move on and find another community that isn’t treating you like shit. Unlike actual real life, if it’s an unpleasant experience there’s an easy answer. Nothing can be forced on them against their will.

Jammy has all the answers.

What a stupid @#%&! you are.

I wouldn’t go that far. But thanks.

Seems like you’re bullying me. I think I’m supposed to be devastated.

Report it.

PM me for instructions.

Lets face it, from a footballing point of view the team would be £#%&!ed without him!

That works too.

It’s not 1998 pal. Social media and online is the real world. Telling a kid to forget about it and move on if they’re rejected by their peers just because it’s online is not a reality. Can’t see why you wouldn’t acknowledge the potential effects of targeted online abuse in 2019 tbh. Of course there’s a duty of care for Twitter etc. This feels like basic stuff imo.
