[00:00:31] All three of us are wearing black today because it is a depressing fucking start to the week.

[00:00:36] Welcome to The Corner Flag, I'm Amogh.

[00:00:38] I'm Rana.

[00:00:39] I'm Animesh.

[00:00:47] Awesome! Welcome everybody to The Corner Flag.

[00:00:50] You might realise that our line up has changed a little bit.

[00:00:53] We don't have any of the corner flag regulars here but we are joined by Animesh and Ranaq

[00:00:58] who are Man United fans from the Man United official supporters group of Mumbai

[00:01:03] and also regular contributors to MUSCM's new YouTube channel Football Bloody Hell.

[00:01:10] And the reason why Ranaq and Animesh are joining us on The Corner Flag today is because

[00:01:17] we just need therapy.

[00:01:19] I think this is the episode group therapy.

[00:01:22] But welcome, Animesh and Ranaq to The Corner Flag.

[00:01:25] How are you guys doing?

[00:01:26] Let's start with you Animesh. What is happening in your life?

[00:01:30] I mean besides getting impaled by a steel rod which took my car instead.

[00:01:36] Great start to the episode.

[00:01:39] Actually, Sohmogh knows this. I sent him the video.

[00:01:42] We were supposed to do our video yesterday.

[00:01:44] I watched along and saw it for the podcast and I'm like, yeah.

[00:01:47] I hope our game is not as painful as what could have happened to me but

[00:01:51] tempted fate with the dialogue. Really tempted fate with it.

[00:01:54] I mean guys, I think we all can agree that that match was going decently.

[00:02:00] I mean, we weren't bad but like commentary was just like red carpet service.

[00:02:05] Red carpet service. They were just being nice to us.

[00:02:07] Then they realized that one second these guys don't deserve red carpet.

[00:02:12] This is the other team from Manchester. What are we doing?

[00:02:14] And then that blue jersey took over and I mean I'm still very confused of this game.

[00:02:20] It was the first time I've woken up the next day.

[00:02:23] I swear I have not watched a single piece of highlight, not even one.

[00:02:30] Yeah. I mean why to make the week worse than it already is I feel.

[00:02:36] Ranaq, you are a sports producer at Sony which is the network that broadcasts the FA Cup.

[00:02:43] At what point did you want to quit your job last night?

[00:02:51] It was fucking horrible man. Like you know the game started off well.

[00:02:55] I was like, okay, let's go. We got the goals and you know there was a drop in intensity

[00:03:01] and you could see it and I was like, shit yeah.

[00:03:04] Like why are they taking it so calmly so chill?

[00:03:07] Like you know we've had so many matches where we have considered late goals.

[00:03:11] We have given up leads and I was just like I could see the shit going down

[00:03:17] and then as soon as we considered that first goal, we came to the group and started the bottle job.

[00:03:22] And I was like fuck man, just horrible game.

[00:03:27] Can I make a confession right here on this show with you guys right now

[00:03:33] so everybody will also hear this and I feel like I should come clean.

[00:03:38] I feel this problem is mine. I posted it on Instagram yesterday.

[00:03:42] I feel I am the problem. I know how so many United fans all over the world on Instagram

[00:03:48] or all social media, even on our MUSCM WhatsApp group we hear so much discussion about

[00:03:55] oh the players are shit, Marker is not doing anything, Eric Tenhag out.

[00:03:59] We need a new manager etc. No. I disagree with all of that.

[00:04:03] I feel I am the problem. So I feel we need to start the hashtag Amogh out.

[00:04:07] And I'll tell you why. Okay? I'll tell you why.

[00:04:10] I was busy yesterday and I didn't have the time to start watching the game at 8pm

[00:04:16] minute kickoff. So I was following the scores, I was out somewhere.

[00:04:21] So by the time I came home it was I think 8.38.40 or something.

[00:04:25] And I'm seeing 1.0, 2.0, 3.0.

[00:04:28] And then finally when I got home I finished some work I had at home

[00:04:31] and I was like, let's go. Now last 40-45 minutes I can watch second half.

[00:04:36] And I started watching at 3.0 and my wife is like, are you sure you want to?

[00:04:42] Are you sure you want to watch this game? We could just watch something else.

[00:04:45] How many goals will it take for you to change the channel?

[00:04:50] Or very confidently I said four goals for Cognitive.

[00:04:54] And I changed the channel in 3-1.

[00:05:00] Then 3-2, then 3-3.

[00:05:02] Then almost 4-3 also but saved by offside.

[00:05:06] What happened? Honestly 4-3 what happened? You would switch the channel.

[00:05:09] You threw your remote.

[00:05:10] No, no because the 4-3 happened and I was like, this looks offside.

[00:05:16] This is tight but it looks offside and then there was a VR check.

[00:05:19] So I feel the universe was also like let's give him, let's

[00:05:24] Tadapao him a little bit by making it 4-3 but bring it back to 3-3

[00:05:28] so that he's interested in watching extra time and penalties.

[00:05:32] So I feel like universe is only playing with my heart and my brains

[00:05:37] and every part of my body at this point.

[00:05:40] After so many results where we've given up leads, why are you testing our fate?

[00:05:47] I feel like I want to know and I want to be certain that it is me.

[00:05:52] I want to see how much power I hold over this fucking football club.

[00:05:57] How many issues can I create? I want to test my own power.

[00:06:03] So yeah man.

[00:06:05] Are you testing fate that are you trying to check it out that you are actually in hell

[00:06:10] and this repeat poor performance by United constantly is your version of torture that Satan's doing to you.

[00:06:15] It is. So we are just props in your hell.

[00:06:21] Exactly. This is a video game. You are NPCs.

[00:06:25] I can't interact with you guys. What the fuck is happening?

[00:06:30] How does a team that is supposed to be on paper so good

[00:06:37] go up against Coventry and I understand that Coventry are also having a great season.

[00:06:41] It is a cup run for them and our good friend Manas Singh was presenting the show at Sony Live

[00:06:48] was also talking about it being a potential banana skin in the halftime show.

[00:06:53] And it can be when it comes to teams like Coventry or any other team from the lower leagues

[00:06:58] that has had a fantastic cup run like this going up against a big team,

[00:07:01] especially a big team quote unquote like my United that can be got at.

[00:07:07] For some reason everybody has that you know that that kid to come like no,

[00:07:12] no we can we can do something. But how does a three-in-a-lead slip up like this in the second half

[00:07:18] like what does Eric Tanakh do in that halftime team talk that just completely unravels everything.

[00:07:24] Basically he at halftime right I'm telling you honestly let's look aside a little bit right Coventry just gave us too much respect

[00:07:34] and we also confused in the first 10 minutes our players were like I saw uska pelika when I came in at about

[00:07:41] I came in at about I think the first goal so not 10 minutes sorry I saw it right after the first goal

[00:07:47] and our players got the ball again and we were like we got the ball again we can do something with the ball

[00:07:52] and they're taking touches and touches and touches attack somebody like and then we started getting into the game

[00:07:57] but they just gave us respect so I think at halftime 10 hour would be like do same thing

[00:08:04] whatever's happening just do. If I tell you something specific you all will mess it up so just do.

[00:08:11] But we couldn't be nah we couldn't be we couldn't be.

[00:08:16] Ronald do you think that throughout that game and especially throughout the second half when Coventry scored

[00:08:21] all those goals because I thought this every time the camera went to Tanakh I was like

[00:08:25] I feel like he wants to cry and leave like it was getting so frustrating

[00:08:31] because what is a man going to do what can he possibly do to justify what his players are doing on the page

[00:08:41] Honestly like I think Tanakh he must be crying every single night I mean not just because of the results

[00:08:49] not just because of the performances but because of the situation he constantly finds himself in

[00:08:55] I mean with players getting injured like you know he even came and cried to the media

[00:09:01] that I have not even once gotten my favourite 11 because always someone is injured

[00:09:07] so I mean that is you don't generally hear managers really cry and bitch and moan so much

[00:09:13] but he's dealt like he's been dealt a very very bad hand like it's just generally second

[00:09:19] like after the last season where we did really good we might have even overachieved because

[00:09:24] because Rashford was just scoring at like beyond his will honestly and this season we have seen

[00:09:31] drop off but like this season's drop off has been incredible like it's so bad

[00:09:37] I don't understand like after the way we ended last season they were at least hoping maybe not a title shot

[00:09:43] obviously not a title shot but at least just solid performances solid team performances

[00:09:48] and we have not even gotten maybe not even one or two solid team performances across this season

[00:09:54] Yeah and so let's talk about the players then let's start with Rashford now he is a very divisive player

[00:10:01] off late with the United fan base of course there's a large part of the fan base that absolutely hates him

[00:10:06] there's a large part of the fan base that will absolutely love him and defend him till he is wearing that United shirt

[00:10:12] because he is one of our own where is it going wrong for Rashford according to you guys

[00:10:19] because there's one aspect of it which is he's played through some serious injuries also

[00:10:25] his shoulder injury and he had played through that injury and he had a bad season because

[00:10:30] he was playing through that injury then he got that surgery then his form came up again

[00:10:33] but it's never been consistent enough from Rashford so what is going wrong with him

[00:10:38] is there some external factors you think that are affecting him is it the type of coaching that he is

[00:10:43] that he is getting from all the coaches that he had that is not you know taking him to the next level as a football player

[00:10:50] or what is it?

[00:10:52] I think definitely it is a thing of external factors right

[00:10:58] we like you rightly said let's not forget that he got a stress factor literally carrying this United side

[00:11:03] when we barely had an attack so you know people are saying let's sell him 100 million to PSG

[00:11:08] even I was frustrated last game I'm telling you I was somebody from 2020 the lockdown watch along

[00:11:13] used to do right with the MEFCM late night and I would be somebody you know people are like

[00:11:18] bro why are you criticizing Rashford so much you know you're hating on him and stuff

[00:11:21] and I'm like no man I love the fact that the guy has so much pace he cuts this 2021

[00:11:27] but there are so many times they are like oh but you know he's a striker he needs chances

[00:11:31] I'm like is he a striker or is he a winger I mean the cross with the ball he starts with that right

[00:11:36] and he had a tendency even in his best of form guys and you all agree 9 out of 10 times

[00:11:41] you think he'll beat the guy and cut it and score but he only even in good form ever did it like

[00:11:46] 5 out of 10 times and now you're seeing him not beating the guy at all so we get frustrated

[00:11:51] the strikers don't get the ball we lose possession and yeah I think it's something in the head

[00:11:56] externally I think I don't see physically something is wrong with him in the game it happened he pulled

[00:12:01] something he could be carrying another niggle but if it was a reoccurrence of his stress factor

[00:12:06] or something else then I would come out and say he's a very upfront guy he's not going to hide that

[00:12:09] right so it's not that yeah it has to be yeah Rashford honestly you know across his time

[00:12:17] at United he's always been an alternate season player one season he'll do good

[00:12:22] next season he'll disappear then again last season like Ronaldo guy I gave him and he started scoring

[00:12:28] where you know where we thought okay this is actually a player who's willing to take responsibility

[00:12:33] for our team who's going to lead our attack and who's going to perform out and out and this season

[00:12:40] the drop off I mean it is so frustrating to watch and I mean of course external factors

[00:12:46] also so many things about his on and off girlfriend also come at the start of the season

[00:12:52] and stuff like that so I don't know what all external factors you know come into play and to what amount

[00:12:59] but at the end of the day he's a professional for Manchester United and you know now he's 25 26 years old

[00:13:06] he's supposed to be in the prime of his you know of his career and he really needs to get it going man

[00:13:14] the thing is also like while watching the game I could see see these are all very good players

[00:13:20] like when we see Rashford at his peak he's fantastic to watch he is so quick he's got such quick feet

[00:13:28] he's got a lovely shot on him as well so on paper he's got all the qualities that you need to be a world-class player

[00:13:35] you've got Garnacho who's a young player who's got a lot of promise and he's slowly starting to live up to that

[00:13:42] he's also you know increasing his ceiling as well his bar keeps raising every game that he plays

[00:13:48] and the more mature he gets into this first team you've got I mean the less said about Anthony the better

[00:13:55] but he still has something you know he is quick he's got the work rate

[00:14:00] there's a potential like if he's whatever that mental block he has if he's able to get over it

[00:14:09] he can be a world-beater in this side as well because again I make these references because when Ronaldo came

[00:14:17] as a 18 year old in 2003 to Manchester United he was such a frustrating player to watch

[00:14:23] I think everybody hated him when we were watching him play as an 18 year old we hated him because

[00:14:31] he was just stepping over us and he was just styling us and nothing used to come out of it

[00:14:36] and there were questions asked of Ferguson as well like what are you thinking giving him number 7 jersey

[00:14:41] like 18 year old KDU signed you're giving him the number 7 jersey that is ridiculous who is this guy

[00:14:47] but then he became that player because of how he applied himself and all

[00:14:51] and you kind of think that maybe with Algarna Chauh with an Anthony also to a certain extent definitely

[00:14:57] with a Rashford that can happen these players have the potential to be that

[00:15:02] but when you're watching them play and when I was watching them play against Coventry

[00:15:07] they looked like a mid-table side they looked like they had no idea where their teammates were going to be

[00:15:13] there was no good build-up play like yes the MacTomine goal was a good build-up goal

[00:15:19] but that's about it after that basic mistakes when you see City play

[00:15:24] they don't even have to look at the ball they're looking at the next pass but they'll receive the ball

[00:15:28] and they'll trap it properly it won't bounce away from them

[00:15:31] it won't take an awkward distance away from them or anything

[00:15:37] they'll properly trap the ball without even looking at it play the pass it's very comfortable

[00:15:41] and it's like they're drilled in that build-up play

[00:15:47] but watching United it just felt like these guys are literally

[00:15:51] someone called on WhatsApp group, there's a game at 7.30pm we need players

[00:15:56] someone will come please we're running out of players can somebody come

[00:16:00] and somebody like I'll come but I'll take some time I'm coming from Panvel

[00:16:04] so I'll take time it's like these guys have been put together for a random 11v11 game

[00:16:11] there's no cohesion but it looks like that right guys because you know people say

[00:16:16] is it possible that you had managers like Mourinho and Van Hal and

[00:16:20] Ole to an extent like he has 7th style he wanted to try and play right

[00:16:24] were they not able to coach all of these guys I think you know what also happened is

[00:16:29] they are now half of the squad is still what we're seeing is a result and consequence

[00:16:35] of too many managers trying to give too many opinions and muddling up some of the

[00:16:39] players development some of these players Rashford could get a bit of excuse from this

[00:16:44] have played it out to my different styles and potential routine or potential position

[00:16:48] changes where they don't know what they want like Rashford doesn't know ideally

[00:16:51] what his best is and he wants to do his best for his team but he's not able to

[00:16:55] Marshal is don't you guess exception from nobody all managers say the same thing

[00:17:00] he's a lazy guy right now you have your Marshal you have Sancho issues people

[00:17:04] don't want to play right then you come down to players like Mataumani and Maguire

[00:17:09] who were all being wanted out by fans and the manager yeah now they saved him

[00:17:14] yesterday they have saved him in the season but hand on heart and a respect

[00:17:20] for Maguire a lot for doing what he did right if we not to come and say no guys

[00:17:24] I want to keep Maguire I want to keep that prominent then we are the problem

[00:17:28] end of the day we realize out of the season in a full season and better fit

[00:17:31] squad these guys will not start correct our problem remains like you said it

[00:17:36] looks like a bunch of guys now stitched together the different eras in this

[00:17:40] last decade and they don't work together anymore they just don't work

[00:17:43] they have different styles of playing different models of playing different

[00:17:48] things to the English League the best case in Maguire going to shake the commentary

[00:17:52] players and Anthony is celebrating because you like whatever it is and we

[00:17:56] one penalty shoot out I'll celebrate Holland is a 20 year old Danish guy

[00:17:59] celebrating his probably first penalty shoot out when looks behind no one's

[00:18:03] coming to it now look at the mentality of all these people guys and they're

[00:18:06] so different it's a little tough to get them together I mean that's the

[00:18:09] managers job right but maybe just two different style of players too many

[00:18:14] therefore too long some should have gone a while back to your point yes it's like

[00:18:18] they've come from fun well tell me

[00:18:22] the mother in the room yeah just adding to this we have seen our players

[00:18:30] just fumble in the most basics of the game passing first touch so many times

[00:18:36] even shooting where you expect them to do that and even running for

[00:18:41] a trash word running and tracking back really pisses me off where you know

[00:18:45] where we're maybe we just have a one-man lead or he's coming in the 60th minute

[00:18:49] and you know we just need 30 minutes of intensity from him he can't even do that

[00:18:54] and that really boils my blood and also our team can't do the basics

[00:19:00] that is when you know you know you really fucked up and a lot of it is down

[00:19:05] to recruitment over the years where I don't know where our money is gone

[00:19:09] honestly like 58 million in Fred and we are happy that he's gone

[00:19:14] currently in our team are they still injured and like over the last 10 years

[00:19:18] I don't know what signing of us was a solid bloody signing except for Bruno

[00:19:23] and you know Bruno was a solid sign because he performed so exceptionally well

[00:19:27] in this first couple seasons that now with the lack of or not to be a cover

[00:19:33] he was so good at the start

[00:19:35] yeah yeah yeah no absolutely and okay just going back to what any said about McGuire

[00:19:40] I think we should you know talk about McGuire a little bit because he was talking

[00:19:45] about how he was playing through an injury in this game and he played the full 120 minutes

[00:19:50] and he was possibly one of the best performers in that squad

[00:19:55] of course got a goal as well so you know just icing on the cake but

[00:19:59] he as a defender at the centre of a man United looked unbeatable

[00:20:03] and I would say that it reminded me of the Harry McGuire when he was just signed for

[00:20:08] Man United I remember in his first few months as a Man United player

[00:20:13] everybody was just panicking if McGuire was not in the team sheet

[00:20:17] I was like oh fuck McGuire is not there our defense is going to be shaky

[00:20:19] but when McGuire was there we were like huncher he's there he'll sort it out

[00:20:22] and we saw a return to that and full credit to him because for everything that

[00:20:27] he's gone through he's had a spectacular dip in form he's had off the pitch issues as well

[00:20:31] but he's worked hard he's worked hard he's kept his head down he's not put a foot wrong

[00:20:37] gone to training waited patiently for his chance even when he was fit and was on the bench

[00:20:43] has had his captaincy stripped from him didn't say anything about it just said he was disappointed

[00:20:47] but he moves on has worked hard kept on going

[00:20:51] and now because of the injury crisis obviously he's getting a run in the starting 11

[00:20:56] but he's taken that chance with both hands and both feet and that massive head of his

[00:21:01] and he's fucking killing it so I feel like maybe that is the example

[00:21:07] that is the type of commitment that we as United fans also want to see from the other players

[00:21:13] we want that level of commitment but we don't see that

[00:21:17] now what you said about too many different styles one thing which brings me to my next point

[00:21:23] which is is ten hug at fault here because we know that he is tactically quite sound

[00:21:30] and he's one of the most tactically adept managers we've had over the last few years

[00:21:36] because whatever you might say about Murrinho being a tactician or everything

[00:21:40] we got Murrinho at the fag end of his career where he was not interested in innovating

[00:21:45] with his tactics or actually being the Murrinho that he was

[00:21:49] he was interested in being in a cushy job at a big club

[00:21:53] that's about it because where has his career gone after that

[00:21:59] we saw the same thing at Spurs even in a worse case

[00:22:03] at Roma a little bit credit build but again it amounted to nothing

[00:22:07] so we got him past his peak as a manager

[00:22:12] ten hug on the other end is a younger manager he's full of ideas he is tactically adept

[00:22:18] is he just like Ronak said he's been dealt a bad hand or is there something more there where

[00:22:24] maybe he's not getting through to the players correctly and we need a change

[00:22:30] I see I personally feel that ten hug is the right man ahead at least I mean I don't know

[00:22:37] ten years down the line I can't predict the future but at least the circumstance that is right now

[00:22:43] I think we should back ten hug and you know I don't expect him to make 100% correct decisions

[00:22:52] even he's coming to the Premier League to such a big club for the first time in his career

[00:22:57] he's had such a hard time and you know like I've never seen such a

[00:23:04] like you know full fucking bag of horrible horrible situations one after the other given to any manager

[00:23:12] like kisi ke tad nahi hota etna kharap so I want him to have at least one one and a half seasons of

[00:23:18] good maybe not the best football but not even bad shit just solid normal things

[00:23:24] and let him build and then even then if he can't do no then you know then sack him fine

[00:23:29] then he maybe does not have it but at least give him a fair shot

[00:23:33] yeah so this season is basically a write-off especially with the new owners coming in I think they can

[00:23:38] consider this season to be a write-off it's a freak season where nothing has gone right and injuries

[00:23:43] have played the biggest role I feel in this situation by the way did you see Murini also said

[00:23:50] he wasn't given the same trust and support at Man United as ten hug

[00:23:56] I mean I mean to be fair can I tell you one thing it is still baffles me to late that they gave him

[00:24:03] a contract two months before this active and in buying players that is but that was now we know

[00:24:08] what ineptitude the glazers had Edward word everybody right but to the point that you

[00:24:14] and Rana both made bad hand 100% and I was been given pastry drama was up now

[00:24:19] Bombay times the pasty people would be dying to get stuff like this right Jaden Sancho

[00:24:23] we said something about the manager Christian Ronaldo the biggest D-va sports football

[00:24:28] he threw him out P.S. Morgan gave him a hot take interview see more right imagine this

[00:24:33] has been going on he's been dealing with this crap right Marcus Rashford Manchester

[00:24:37] Academy player tougher to deal with he tried to deal with a strong like clearly

[00:24:41] someone told him you have to play him under what we've seen under 10 hour 10 hour

[00:24:45] would not play this guy over again someone's girly force just hand over there so it's

[00:24:49] not all on him and I want to agree with you what on us as perfect right give him

[00:24:53] that year because you know what's happening is let's say he doesn't have a

[00:24:58] switch squad he wants to play a certain style of football he can't play the

[00:25:01] style of football so he's trying to bridge it up right how do you how do you do

[00:25:05] that you need literally a year of football to do that right in that last

[00:25:09] year with the squad he got we saw he got some results we're tailed off towards

[00:25:13] the end when Martin has got injured not cause United was doing well he didn't inspire them

[00:25:17] this season it's absolutely all over the place but to the point where we do blame

[00:25:22] 10 hour right people want to play people are blaming him as a different

[00:25:26] substitutions no you keep saying that he makes bad substitutions at 3 nil against

[00:25:31] commentary city you want to rest Kobe Minow and Garnacher cause they have

[00:25:35] an intense workload and Kobe Minow like we were on our episode devil's advocate

[00:25:41] Prashant said Kobe Minow has played more minutes of football than Phil Ford

[00:25:44] and played in his first two years that's a shocking and scary stat we could burn

[00:25:48] on Kobe Minow that wasn't the wrong sub guys that was what he did was smart

[00:25:52] gameplay now where does he come wrong right and where I feel like he is not

[00:25:56] adapted from last season and I blame him a lot for this he's naive to afford

[00:26:00] between like Jovi hojaya I'm going to go towards this people are shooting arrows

[00:26:05] at you and you don't have enough shields he's like I'm gonna take as many

[00:26:09] as I can I'm gonna get him paid him paid him paid him I can't do anymore

[00:26:12] he's kind of going at that kind of approach now where I get that you can't play

[00:26:16] a style of football and you're trying to find a way to get there but he should

[00:26:20] realize now end of second season that what he's trying is not working so he has

[00:26:25] to find something in between he has to change that now like it's not working

[00:26:29] I know this is not a style of football we're seeing his players are not there

[00:26:32] but he's trying this middle gap of trying to do a possession base

[00:26:36] slight football from Onana which you know Onana start punting it and getting scared

[00:26:40] but he's still trying that he is Onana's punting the ball was at least unlike

[00:26:45] David Dea he can punt it to a opposition player at the other end not outside right

[00:26:49] but it's happening they're shooting themselves we're not holding on to the ball

[00:26:53] but okay beyond that I don't think 10 hours training is a problem our players

[00:26:58] are weak our players can't run 90 minutes even last season under Ole also

[00:27:02] when we have to prove up against Sevilla and I'll go up in the Europe

[00:27:06] in the Europe of final to replace Sevilla right where we look gas towards the end

[00:27:10] Villarreal and the one before Sevilla game which we lost

[00:27:15] our players just couldn't run because they're not fit so I don't care what

[00:27:18] Tenak is running there with the ground down there you should stop because they get injured

[00:27:21] what difference does it make if he's not running

[00:27:24] if he's not running then he'll lose

[00:27:26] so to the point Tenak gets should get one more season

[00:27:30] but he has to find a way to change his style of football now

[00:27:34] and there's something in between if he doesn't do that then start keep doing this

[00:27:39] then I mean you want to get sacked

[00:27:42] you know personally for me I think

[00:27:46] Tenak's biggest mistake in his two years at United was

[00:27:52] buying Andre Onanah

[00:27:55] not because I don't because I don't

[00:27:58] hot take hot take hot take

[00:27:59] I don't like Onanah it's not like that you know he's a decent keeper and what not

[00:28:04] but I think we spent what 50 million 50 60 million for Onanah

[00:28:09] and at the time that he bought Onanah there were many more gaps in the team

[00:28:15] that 50 60 million needed to be spent elsewhere

[00:28:19] he did two things when he bought Onanah he kicked out our long time

[00:28:24] servant David Dahia who had just won the Golden Glove

[00:28:28] so not only did he spend the 50 60 million that were needed elsewhere in the team

[00:28:33] he even kicked out our legend like you know our legend

[00:28:36] and he bought an extra talking point that was not needed at the club

[00:28:41] for a basic he should have strengthened the team where it was needed

[00:28:44] he should have kept a low key why like why do that splash signing

[00:28:49] it was really not required in my opinion

[00:28:52] there's a demand drawn up no man the clangors of Dahia made last season was like

[00:28:56] a cut above the ones before that right I mean

[00:28:59] the holes the holes we have in the rest of our team are so glaring

[00:29:04] our Kobe Mino has come from our academy to patch the biggest hole

[00:29:09] in the midfield imagine our season without Kobe Mino just imagine

[00:29:14] and that shouldn't be the case

[00:29:16] can you do you remember when when we signed Kasimiro

[00:29:20] who a must was as a feel like story leak where

[00:29:25] apparently Kasimiro before he left Real Madrid was watching

[00:29:30] like he was told about the interest from Man United

[00:29:34] so being the utter professional that he is he was watching videos of Manchester United play

[00:29:39] and he was looking at the midfield and he was like this is this is shocking

[00:29:43] and then he called his agent and said don't worry tell them I'll fix it

[00:29:47] that was like full South Indian hero entry type dialogue that was man

[00:29:53] and now it's come to a point where Kobe Mino has come from the academy

[00:29:56] and he's telling Uncle I'll fix it

[00:29:58] you say bro I'll fix it

[00:30:00] we broke Kasimiro bro we made him from South Indian actor

[00:30:04] he went to Bhojkuri actor's table

[00:30:07] that is so true we fucking broke Kasimiro what was that penalty

[00:30:12] what the fuck was that penalty

[00:30:14] and I could you run this is why at the start of the episode when I said

[00:30:18] I feel I am responsible for this team playing the way it plays

[00:30:22] but but but when I tell you this Kasimiro I'll tell you one thing

[00:30:27] I still like about him he's a leader man so he's taking the cost penalty

[00:30:31] you know why right he's like I'll soak up all the pressure

[00:30:34] but I think I'm soaking up all the pressure realize that

[00:30:36] I have to do this right now

[00:30:40] he was there for 2-3 minutes he was just waiting

[00:30:43] and I'm like why but he tried to basically bridge that gap right

[00:30:47] but means yeah sorry continue

[00:30:50] no no he's definitely a leader definitely somebody who brings a little bit of mentality

[00:30:55] and after a point like even I'm sure even he's frustrated

[00:30:58] like you're met champions league 5 times

[00:31:01] won real Madrid say what the fuck are you guys doing

[00:31:04] like show some professionalism

[00:31:07] what is this but no like when he came

[00:31:10] the reason why I say that I'm at fault for United's struggle is

[00:31:13] because when Kasimiro stepped up for that penalty

[00:31:16] you know there are times when especially in a penalty shoot out

[00:31:19] when you see players walk up and with their body language only

[00:31:22] you can tell if they're going to score or if they're going to miss

[00:31:25] and when Kasimiro came up and forget when he waited

[00:31:28] for 2 minutes also but when he was walking with the ball

[00:31:31] I was like he's going to miss he's going to miss there's something

[00:31:34] off about him

[00:31:35] there's something off about him

[00:31:37] he does not look confident and he's going to overthink it

[00:31:40] and he's going to miss and that is exactly what happened

[00:31:43] it was just it was a bad penalty

[00:31:47] like it wasn't even like a good save

[00:31:51] it was just a bad penalty

[00:31:54] yeah I think it was absolutely horrible

[00:31:57] you expect him to score

[00:32:00] Lanak do you think he was competing or what with Bernardo Silva

[00:32:02] the worst miss from Manchester

[00:32:06] at least Bernardo Silva was worse I feel

[00:32:09] at least he'll be sitting somewhere

[00:32:11] he's like at least he'll be sitting somewhere

[00:32:15] but even the guy I don't know the name of the player

[00:32:17] from the commentary side but it was a little long hair

[00:32:20] who missed the penalty

[00:32:22] that Onan has saved

[00:32:24] the one that Onan has saved even when he walked up

[00:32:26] he had that very cocky grin about him and all

[00:32:29] he was like this kid will definitely come

[00:32:32] he's showing so much confidence

[00:32:35] he'll come and that's exactly what happened

[00:32:38] but also we should talk about Bruno's

[00:32:41] retort to Collins the commentary keeper

[00:32:44] telling him to calm himself

[00:32:47] and just basically being full big brother

[00:32:50] like listen don't do this like none of the f**king

[00:32:52] sledging in high testosterone

[00:32:54] he's like chill man what are you doing

[00:32:56] chill man

[00:32:57] Bruno's penalty was solid man

[00:32:59] I love Bruno's penalty

[00:33:01] I mean the best thing was his run up to that

[00:33:03] you saw his run up

[00:33:05] he knew like I want to shut this guy up

[00:33:07] I have to do this and I will shut him up

[00:33:09] please do this

[00:33:11] he didn't even look push it

[00:33:13] and you know it was funny right

[00:33:17] people have said that Bruno cries so much

[00:33:19] and I get we do he does

[00:33:21] it's a lot of things

[00:33:23] but people say he's not a leader

[00:33:26] I mean what do you want to do man

[00:33:29] we've been crap the last 5-6 weeks

[00:33:32] he started scoring again

[00:33:33] he's like Chalwal come out of my slump on my own

[00:33:35] I'll go to my own therapist

[00:33:37] and start scoring right

[00:33:39] and then you look at everybody else around

[00:33:41] and you look at that wall when they were standing

[00:33:43] look at anybody else guys

[00:33:45] leave everything else

[00:33:46] do you think any one of those guys can be a leader

[00:33:48] leave my side obviously

[00:33:50] Garnachal mine oh take care

[00:33:52] no

[00:33:53] nobody yeah

[00:33:55] like you said Kasimiro is one other option for leader

[00:33:58] but again we don't know what's happening

[00:34:00] because his contract expires in the summer

[00:34:02] I don't think it's going to be renewed

[00:34:04] because again with Jim Ratcliffe's takeover

[00:34:06] of the club or a partial takeover of the club

[00:34:09] he's not going to want these

[00:34:12] I don't want to say has been

[00:34:14] because that is a very harsh judgment

[00:34:16] of a highly decorated player

[00:34:19] but he doesn't want these

[00:34:21] supposed marquee signings at the club anymore

[00:34:23] because let's face it

[00:34:25] whether it's your Varan's or Kasimiro's

[00:34:27] or back in the day Falca's

[00:34:29] and Kavanis and Ibrahimovic's

[00:34:31] and D Maria's

[00:34:32] they've all been supposed marquee signings

[00:34:34] which have just not worked out

[00:34:36] and more so in the case of somebody like a Zlatan

[00:34:39] or a Kasimiro towards

[00:34:41] not the end of their careers but towards the

[00:34:43] the trailing end of their careers

[00:34:45] not really like they've been there done that

[00:34:48] that hunger would have subsided a little bit

[00:34:51] younger players tend to have a little more hunger

[00:34:53] but these guys obviously because of the experiences

[00:34:55] that they've had because of everything that they've won

[00:34:58] are they really going to be that much motivated

[00:35:01] to come to a team like Manchester United

[00:35:03] which is not going through a good phase right now

[00:35:05] and pick the team up

[00:35:07] what is it, what is in it for them

[00:35:09] they've already done everything

[00:35:11] where is that hunger coming from

[00:35:13] but yes what it can bring is some level of

[00:35:15] mentality some level of experience

[00:35:17] and a standard that can be set by these players

[00:35:20] but I don't think Radcliffe wants any of these guys around

[00:35:23] I don't think he's going to spend the kind of money

[00:35:25] that has been spent on these players

[00:35:27] I mean the return on investment doesn't make sense

[00:35:30] I feel in his book

[00:35:32] so I feel like that's not going to happen

[00:35:34] and yeah you're right there's nobody else

[00:35:36] there's nobody else

[00:35:37] no and you know even in terms of

[00:35:39] our signings like

[00:35:41] it's also about expectations so

[00:35:43] if you see look at Real Muddered right now

[00:35:46] they have old players they have Tony Cruz

[00:35:48] who's been there for ages

[00:35:50] they have Lukam Odrich who's really like

[00:35:52] 37, 38 a veteran

[00:35:54] what nonsense, what nonsense he's 24 dude

[00:35:56] so he plays like

[00:35:58] I don't think he believes

[00:36:00] he's 37

[00:36:01] you don't like you know

[00:36:03] but they don't play 60 games a season

[00:36:05] you know and they are there

[00:36:07] to plug in wherever the team lacks

[00:36:10] to bring in experience now

[00:36:12] you don't put like you don't put the

[00:36:14] 37 year old Lukam Odrich in there

[00:36:16] for all the games for 90 months because

[00:36:18] he can't do that and you shouldn't even

[00:36:20] expect that out of him so when we bought

[00:36:22] Casamiro if he had a better structure

[00:36:24] around him not of a

[00:36:26] McTominay not a new

[00:36:28] Kobe mine that has just come in right now

[00:36:30] but a better structure more players

[00:36:32] from the back all the way to the front

[00:36:34] and just ask him to plug in the gaps

[00:36:36] yeah that he would have done brilliantly

[00:36:38] but you can't expect him

[00:36:40] at 31 to come as if he was

[00:36:42] 24 year old starting his career at Muddered

[00:36:44] like you know that trajectory is gone

[00:36:46] you have to expect a 31 year old

[00:36:48] to play like a 31 year old

[00:36:50] it's also about the expectation

[00:36:52] what you put on the player also

[00:36:54] just calling him outright

[00:36:56] has been or whatever is a little

[00:36:58] harsh also because you're expecting

[00:37:00] something different from the kind

[00:37:02] of player you have

[00:37:04] yeah absolutely so then

[00:37:06] gun to your heads

[00:37:08] just to wrap up this

[00:37:10] this united discussion up gun to your

[00:37:12] next season I think we are all in agreement

[00:37:14] that ten hug needs to be given at least one season

[00:37:16] or I think next season is his last year of his contract

[00:37:18] also if I'm not mistaken

[00:37:20] so I feel like

[00:37:22] the right thing to do or the business

[00:37:24] business wise

[00:37:26] sensible thing to do is to give him

[00:37:28] that last year so that you don't have to

[00:37:30] give him severance pay by sacking him right now

[00:37:32] I think we are all in agreement that

[00:37:34] he does

[00:37:36] have some semblance of

[00:37:38] a tactical

[00:37:40] attitude to get this team

[00:37:42] to where it needs to be

[00:37:44] or at least in the direction that he needs to go

[00:37:46] if not with him

[00:37:48] so we are all agreed that

[00:37:50] he should give one more season

[00:37:52] ideally next season

[00:37:54] what does this man United team look like

[00:37:56] for you guys

[00:37:58] where are the holes in terms of players

[00:38:00] and how do we plug those

[00:38:02] holes like I want names

[00:38:04] who are the players that we need to

[00:38:06] be targeting let's start with Animesh

[00:38:08] so one of the most obvious ones is because

[00:38:10] of inter club

[00:38:12] I think it will be shocking if we don't find

[00:38:14] a way to get to Divo

[00:38:16] that is Varan is gone

[00:38:18] so Varan has to go not only because

[00:38:20] it's all like Casimir right Varan

[00:38:22] since he is come you know it's funny Varan

[00:38:24] and Evans is what Ferguson wanted

[00:38:26] to replace

[00:38:28] foreign average

[00:38:30] 12 years later

[00:38:32] Evans has gone and come back from West Brom

[00:38:34] Leicester

[00:38:36] we also had Maguire and Evans

[00:38:38] centre back pairing which they were 3 years back

[00:38:40] so to let you know how he fallen

[00:38:42] Divo coming in there Martin has hopefully

[00:38:44] stays fit right

[00:38:46] we definitely need a left back

[00:38:48] now I don't know right left back

[00:38:50] can I be honest with you guys I am ok

[00:38:52] if Shaw leaves if we get money for short

[00:38:54] send him off to West Ham or somewhere

[00:38:56] he's got 10 years man and it's unlucky again

[00:38:58] so who do you sign

[00:39:00] do you sign an upcoming left back

[00:39:02] and play him or do you go for like a Theon and

[00:39:04] Pawat or someone you could use on either side

[00:39:06] but Pawat just recently joined Inter

[00:39:08] he'll be happy and say he won't want to leave

[00:39:10] again to make him leave to pay too much money

[00:39:12] then you want a midfield right

[00:39:14] and

[00:39:16] forget that people are saying striker let's go get

[00:39:18] this guy from UA

[00:39:20] what's his name like

[00:39:22] Blavich right

[00:39:24] problem begin right

[00:39:26] who from the wings is going to give Blavich those deliveries

[00:39:28] which he's a number 9 to put in

[00:39:30] so I would say

[00:39:32] if you really focus on the midfield and our defense first

[00:39:36] then

[00:39:38] somehow just get a number 9

[00:39:40] like Oli Watkins

[00:39:42] I know I am bad at it

[00:39:44] what is this English tax and all

[00:39:46] if you want to choose between Ivan Tony and Oli Watkins

[00:39:48] so we will not discuss this right

[00:39:50] Ivan Tony see that guy who has that

[00:39:52] charisma to a little bit

[00:39:54] chirping on the side

[00:39:56] Oli Watkins guys is 28-29

[00:39:58] he's actually hit his peak

[00:40:00] he's got a change who touch would injure him

[00:40:02] he's not that bad right now he's not been

[00:40:04] we need a striker in his peak

[00:40:06] who takes the load of Hoilin

[00:40:08] and Hoilin can learn of him

[00:40:10] Oli Watkins primarily

[00:40:12] playing enough

[00:40:14] played under two different managers now

[00:40:16] under Emory the kind of football he's playing

[00:40:18] Artena he can play that

[00:40:20] and like I said

[00:40:22] he takes the load of Hoilin

[00:40:24] that's what we need right and as you believe that's what's out of this equation

[00:40:26] I would say Oli Watkins toadibo for sure

[00:40:28] maybe a Theo and Anders

[00:40:30] the rest is up to you guys

[00:40:32] okay, Rana what about you?

[00:40:34] so I think it will also be

[00:40:36] about what players come back in

[00:40:38] there's Sancho that

[00:40:40] Tenang has to make a decision over

[00:40:42] there's Greenwood

[00:40:44] that United has to make a decision over

[00:40:46] and these two are critical

[00:40:48] Sancho if he plays

[00:40:50] or if we sell him either way

[00:40:52] like if he plays and if he can actually play good for us

[00:40:54] like you know all props to him

[00:40:56] what should Tenang to make it happen or whatever

[00:40:58] or not then we sell him and

[00:41:00] invest that money someplace else

[00:41:02] so dealing with Sancho

[00:41:04] is a big question mark

[00:41:06] in our transfer plans

[00:41:08] especially Greenwood man

[00:41:10] I obviously want Greenwood back and he will plug in

[00:41:12] that right wing spot so well

[00:41:14] for us that

[00:41:16] we can invest money elsewhere

[00:41:18] into the team where of course we need defenders

[00:41:20] we need full backs

[00:41:22] and there's been talks about

[00:41:24] looking for a new right back

[00:41:26] for the last one or two years

[00:41:28] since Tenang has come in he's been looking for a right back

[00:41:30] so

[00:41:32] I mean I know Biolaver Q is in just one

[00:41:34] the Bundesliga and everything but I want Jeremy

[00:41:36] for Impong

[00:41:38] that guy is class apart

[00:41:40] I don't know how we're gonna get him

[00:41:42] but yeah and even there

[00:41:44] left back honestly Grimaldo has been amazing

[00:41:46] I don't know how old he is

[00:41:48] but yeah like we need a ball

[00:41:50] playing left back and I'm honestly

[00:41:52] I agree with Animesh that

[00:41:54] shock if we get some decent

[00:41:56] bugs even 30-35 million

[00:41:58] we should just offload him

[00:42:00] and buy someone new

[00:42:02] and

[00:42:04] midfield also honestly I wouldn't

[00:42:06] mind going back

[00:42:08] into the market of Frankie Deong

[00:42:10] I think he will partner

[00:42:12] amazingly well with

[00:42:14] Kobe Mino in the heart

[00:42:16] of a midfield and that will really set our

[00:42:18] midfield for the next

[00:42:20] good 7, 8, 9 years

[00:42:22] and

[00:42:24] yeah I'm all for that

[00:42:26] okay so basically the consensus

[00:42:28] is that please focus on

[00:42:30] defense and midfield first then

[00:42:32] focus on the attack because yeah fair enough we have

[00:42:34] a decent attack on paper

[00:42:36] right now with the addition of Hoiland also

[00:42:38] this season there is some semblance

[00:42:40] of a number nine in there who can

[00:42:42] who's young and who can do the job

[00:42:44] who has the potential to actually be much better than what

[00:42:46] he is right now

[00:42:48] so that's not the immediate concern right now but as long as we

[00:42:52] show our things up in the midfield and at the back

[00:42:54] we can build that foundation

[00:42:56] so that is absolutely key

[00:42:58] and you would sell players like

[00:43:00] Maktamane and Maguire and not keep them as

[00:43:02] squad players? Maktamane would keep

[00:43:04] and Maguire also would keep honestly

[00:43:06] I mean Maguire is the

[00:43:08] the word has the name Harry Maguire

[00:43:10] has to resonate with mentality

[00:43:12] and you know after the comeback

[00:43:14] he's had you cannot

[00:43:16] relax this guy now you have to give him his

[00:43:18] shot and you know he's

[00:43:20] shown that he's ready to fight for it

[00:43:22] you know made by Varan made by

[00:43:24] Lisandro Martinez whatever he's ready to fight for his spot

[00:43:26] and when he gets his chance

[00:43:28] he'll play and that's what I feel

[00:43:30] No I will cut through it right Amog

[00:43:32] I think if you are

[00:43:34] saying don't be sentimental and let's get

[00:43:36] let's get rid of Rashford I think Maguire

[00:43:38] makes a list before that right

[00:43:40] Shaw Maguire I die yeah

[00:43:42] I don't want to get rid of Rashford at all

[00:43:44] I feel like I'm a big

[00:43:46] sentimental idiot about Rashford

[00:43:48] but it's weird

[00:43:50] it's weird if Rashford plays for some

[00:43:52] other team you know like it just feels

[00:43:54] very weird so I feel like another thing

[00:43:56] Rashford sorry to cut you Rashford

[00:43:58] will go anywhere right Harami

[00:44:00] will hit a lot of goals

[00:44:02] no need to play here

[00:44:04] here hit a goal

[00:44:06] exactly exactly I feel like

[00:44:08] no see I feel like

[00:44:10] with both Maguire and Maguire

[00:44:12] I feel like they

[00:44:14] have a certain mentality that

[00:44:16] can be leaned on

[00:44:18] in a squad player role

[00:44:20] the problem is that we are being forced to

[00:44:22] play them in a starting role

[00:44:24] correct for too many

[00:44:26] games and that is where

[00:44:28] their lack of quality

[00:44:30] tends to show right

[00:44:32] and even with that perceived lack of quality

[00:44:34] is the highest goal score I mean

[00:44:36] like that is how

[00:44:38] bonkers this season has been for many

[00:44:40] years right but I feel that

[00:44:42] because Mektomine is from

[00:44:44] the academy and he's had that

[00:44:46] rise from academy

[00:44:48] player to regular first

[00:44:50] team starter under many iconic managers

[00:44:52] he's got

[00:44:54] that personality about him

[00:44:56] he's got that ethic about him

[00:44:58] which makes him a little bit

[00:45:00] of a valuable player I feel

[00:45:02] just to have in the dressing room

[00:45:04] you're not going to be a starter

[00:45:06] you make your peace with that if

[00:45:08] you cannot work for you then find a club

[00:45:10] but we'd like you to stay

[00:45:12] because we feel like you do bring something

[00:45:14] to the table and then bringing on

[00:45:16] Mektomine

[00:45:18] 75 minutes in

[00:45:20] is great because you're bringing

[00:45:22] a player who can create havoc

[00:45:24] who can cause chaos not just

[00:45:26] in the middle of the field where he plays

[00:45:28] but he can make those runs ahead and play as

[00:45:30] a second striker if needed

[00:45:32] he can drop back in defence if needed

[00:45:34] he can plug many holes on the pitch

[00:45:36] and that chaos will fuck up

[00:45:38] an opposition's

[00:45:40] rhythm especially 75 minutes in when they're tired

[00:45:42] he's a good

[00:45:44] impacter and we've seen

[00:45:46] he has that instinct in the deep

[00:45:48] yeah

[00:45:50] by hook or by crook he'll get

[00:45:52] to the end of the ball somehow

[00:45:54] and he's tall man

[00:45:56] and you know you can always use that

[00:45:58] in the ladder

[00:46:00] he's tall

[00:46:02] is how we got spell I need to play football

[00:46:04] man

[00:46:06] he's tall

[00:46:08] please it's very important

[00:46:10] now

[00:46:12] the discussion about

[00:46:14] players is going down to

[00:46:16] what's going on in the tinder

[00:46:18] he's tall, great swipe right

[00:46:20] don't do my point guys

[00:46:22] I might be cut through it but

[00:46:24] I don't want to rely on Mektomine next season

[00:46:26] I don't want I think

[00:46:28] no no but that's what

[00:46:30] not to rely on

[00:46:32] as a profile of our players

[00:46:34] we need to just be that ruthless

[00:46:36] if you're being ruthless or then you don't be ruthless

[00:46:38] so I'll ask you guys this instead

[00:46:40] I would rather keep Lindelof over Maguire

[00:46:42] what would you guys do

[00:46:44] if you want to choose Maguire or Lindelof to sell

[00:46:48] I mean based on current form I'd go

[00:46:50] with Maguire or Lindelof but yes in the

[00:46:52] longer run Lindelof has proven to be

[00:46:54] a little more solid

[00:46:56] solid and versatile

[00:46:58] you can clear right back also if needed

[00:47:00] but he can be put in that position

[00:47:02] then he'll see what will happen to Ram Baro

[00:47:04] but Maguire

[00:47:06] visually doesn't fit

[00:47:08] at right back

[00:47:10] at least Lindelof will

[00:47:12] walk away

[00:47:14] but yeah it depends

[00:47:16] I think one of the two

[00:47:18] has to go for sure because we definitely need

[00:47:20] the other as backup because if our

[00:47:22] ideal centre back partnership is going to be

[00:47:24] Todebo and Martinez

[00:47:26] I don't know too much about

[00:47:28] Todebo's injury

[00:47:30] history but Martinez

[00:47:32] is injury history especially with the doctors

[00:47:34] that we have I don't know if they're

[00:47:36] Manchester United or Apollo Max

[00:47:38] hospital doctors

[00:47:40] some Ayurvedic quacks, Baba Ramdev

[00:47:42] shit they're doing

[00:47:44] Patanjali cream

[00:47:46] I think in their Gudno after every match

[00:47:48] fucking so many

[00:47:50] injuries what is

[00:47:52] Amity University

[00:47:54] they're looking for the MBBS degree

[00:47:56] what is going on

[00:47:58] and with these doctors

[00:48:00] I have no idea how Martinez

[00:48:02] is going to go through the season because

[00:48:04] I feel like already injury prone

[00:48:06] and we're making him even more brittle

[00:48:08] by being a part of this medical setup

[00:48:10] so we definitely need a backup

[00:48:12] for sure

[00:48:14] with a Willy Kambwala who will probably

[00:48:16] grow up to be a slightly more

[00:48:18] responsible player

[00:48:20] as a backup

[00:48:22] that is where I stand

[00:48:24] right on that note ladies and gentlemen

[00:48:26] we should end the show

[00:48:28] but before we end we should quickly

[00:48:30] talk about just one thing which is not

[00:48:32] United which is great news

[00:48:34] I mean not great news for any of us

[00:48:36] but just great general football news

[00:48:38] Everton vs. Forest in the Premier League

[00:48:40] was a game of

[00:48:42] some mad

[00:48:44] highlights

[00:48:46] two nil winners obviously Everton

[00:48:48] which is big for them

[00:48:50] in this relegation battle of course

[00:48:52] this is the points deduction

[00:48:54] as I like to call it

[00:48:56] and

[00:48:58] Nottingham forest complained that

[00:49:00] Stuart Atoll who was on VAAR was a

[00:49:02] lutein fan and they were not too happy

[00:49:04] about that because of course lutein

[00:49:06] and Nottingham also in the relegation battle

[00:49:08] Stuart Atoll

[00:49:10] did not intervene

[00:49:12] for three stone wall penalties

[00:49:16] that forest should have gotten

[00:49:18] I don't know if you saw the penalties but

[00:49:20] in the instances two were fouls

[00:49:22] one toh he kicked the player only

[00:49:24] forget ball who was

[00:49:26] ankle basically the kick Mara

[00:49:28] how that was not given a penalty I don't know

[00:49:30] and one was a handball so two

[00:49:32] fouls and one handball

[00:49:34] interestingly because this is still

[00:49:36] for some reason a man united

[00:49:38] themed episode all three

[00:49:40] instances involved Ashley Young

[00:49:46] to be fair Ashley Young

[00:49:48] I think he is 40 now still looks

[00:49:50] great looks fucking young as his name

[00:49:52] suggests and still doing it

[00:49:54] but I know Akarsh

[00:49:56] who does the podcast with us

[00:49:58] is an Everton fan he keeps

[00:50:00] bitching about how Ashley Young is the worst

[00:50:02] thing to happen to Everton and they have gone through

[00:50:04] three points deductions

[00:50:06] a change of ownership

[00:50:08] an owner who is

[00:50:10] probably going to jail for tax fraud

[00:50:12] a stadium that they are trying to

[00:50:14] build which they don't have money for

[00:50:16] the fact that they might go into

[00:50:18] administration

[00:50:20] and that they might be relegated and he is saying

[00:50:22] all of that is fine but Ashley Young

[00:50:24] mother choday

[00:50:26] that bird that shot on him at Old Trafford

[00:50:28] I think also lucky use up from that bird

[00:50:30] shooting on him in this one match

[00:50:32] yeah I mean

[00:50:34] so Plottingham Forreston now put out a statement

[00:50:36] saying we are looking at all options

[00:50:38] we feel it is

[00:50:40] ridiculous that a lutean fan

[00:50:42] was on VA our duties and we

[00:50:44] pointed this out and then three penalties

[00:50:46] were not given to us and we

[00:50:48] are looking at all options

[00:50:50] Forreston have hired Mark Klattenberg

[00:50:52] as a referee consultant

[00:50:56] what is happening with this club

[00:50:58] I can imagine

[00:51:00] he is going to go

[00:51:02] howard web he is like bye

[00:51:04] what are you going to discuss

[00:51:06] so now what do we do

[00:51:08] do we make it look like Ashley talking about something

[00:51:10] you know why blame but honestly

[00:51:12] we are going to get the cops out of this bullsh**

[00:51:14] with the let's replay our rematch

[00:51:16] someone is going to take it seriously

[00:51:18] and actually make it a big deal

[00:51:20] they filed an official complaint

[00:51:22] now we want to hear your recordings

[00:51:24] what are the tips

[00:51:26] do you want to know the people

[00:51:28] I think

[00:51:30] he is directing it completely

[00:51:36] because at well

[00:51:38] sometimes

[00:51:40] this is full

[00:51:42] so popper level

[00:51:44] bullsh** that is happening

[00:51:46] but yes we are all here for it

[00:51:48] because as mad united fans

[00:51:50] this is what gives us joy

[00:51:52] this is basically it

[00:51:54] don't watch united games

[00:51:56] here on onwards

[00:51:58] see the relegation battle

[00:52:00] this is where all the action is

[00:52:02] crystal palace beating

[00:52:04] western 5-2 what a game

[00:52:06] what a fantastic game

[00:52:08] do you have a potato in your fbl

[00:52:10] or not

[00:52:12] I do

[00:52:14] well done

[00:52:16] I was very happy with my differential choice

[00:52:18] so yeah

[00:52:20] it has been a decent week

[00:52:22] not so much because I forgot to change

[00:52:24] Harland as my fbl captain

[00:52:26] and my vice captain is

[00:52:28] who has been arrested

[00:52:30] so this double game

[00:52:32] week is full f**k up

[00:52:34] the only good thing is I haven't played

[00:52:36] triple captain or bench boost chips

[00:52:38] I am leaving them for the last two double game weeks

[00:52:40] so that I think is a

[00:52:42] smart decision

[00:52:44] but yes on that note boys
