Jesus £#%&!ing Christ. Some people on this forum are utterly stupid & have no knowledge about football or in fact anything in general.













We all know Tony's a total @#%&!. Trevor's the guy you want.

Her face

I actually don’t mind her tbh and would rather listen what she’s got to say over the likes of Radknapp, Dawson, Merson etc

But yeah it’s all a bit ridiculous…

Hopefully that’s the end of Souness though.

WTF, he's talking about the new directive for referee's to allow the game to flow more, and keeping the ball in play more.

Why are people getting triggered by this?

Utterly depressing watching this match yesterday

A brilliant game of football played by 2 teams who gave everything on the pitch. Like it actually means something to all concerned, the fans, the manager and the club they represent

When was the last time we had this feeling from a United side?

Why don't Sky just have a womans panel, with Jamie Redknapp and another with old footballers ala Souness etc and people can chose which channel to watch.

Two well coached and well organised sides. Chelsea players passing quickly and moving into space - the opposite of what we do.

With a good coach and some new players we could get there it wasn't as if they had unbelievable brilliance. Be nice to have a centre half who could score goals though.

Both have deep squads which we don't either.

Let's be honest.

It's going to need a miracle to get into the top 4 this year. City and Liverpool aren't dropping off this season.

6th is again the target for a good season, with a good cup run or 2 thrown in. Ideally with some young players being given a shot.

I watched the highlights of this game - they seemed on a different level.

This ‘young players given a shot’ idea is a problem.

Of the young players at the club, only Garnacho looks even remotely close to being able to make any sort of impact, and I’d expect that to be in cameo appearances (longer than 3 minutes, ideally).

Iqbal & Savage are far too small and frail to play CM in the PL. Fred gets monstered; these 2 would stand no chance atm. There’s a case for minutes at the end of games when we’re winning, but that’s looking unlikely.

McNeil, Hugill, Aorensen and the rest of the youth cup winning team are all possibly 5 years and tons of development away.

Hannibal is older than all of the above, is a full International and is going to the Championship on loan to develop and toughen up.

Pellistri is injured, going nowhere and neither use nor ornament.

Amad looks talented and a good footballer but is a woefully inexperienced dwarf. Nobody even knows where he plays, because he hasn’t played enough football to decide

Garner is being sold as he’s not that good.

The other players we have that might be useful, Mengi, Bernard, Laird, all defenders, the one area of the pitch we have numbers in £#%&!ing abundance. Laird might be worth a few games at RB, but he’d be way behind Dalot, and Dalot is shite.

We’re 2-3 seasons from anyone above performing a miracle and being a starter for United, minimum, unless we’re relegated and everyone leaves in which case they might have to start in the Championship.

I don’t think that’s the bit people have an issue with, Graeme

Why does anyone care about the gender of a commentator - the issue is are they any good. Much rather listen to Alex Scott than Jermaine Jenas.

The women cricket commentators have been a breath of fresh air.

Agree.

Alex Scott and yesterdays one (forgot her name) are good imv and offer much more than the likes of Michael Dawson, Souness and Redknapp

Because its just not as entertaining or insightful, and seems politically forced.

Some of the best moments in the studio are when you have 3 or 4 opinionated male ex pros going at each other.

Shoehorning a woman onto the panel for the sake of a diversity quota doesn't add any real value. Carney looked so uncomfortable and out of place at the weekend, as if she was a prop plonked into the middle of the panel.

Just stick to the male ex pros who have played the game at the highest level. Women's football is a respectable sport, but its completely different, in so many respects, across how its played, how they train, how the tactics are setup and what the dressing room culture is like.
