  1. Popped on to redcafe, the man utd forum for the craic and jeez, if you think we love jack on here you should take a look at that lot. He has his own thread with 8 or 9 pages since yesterdays game. All want to sign him, obviously, many think he is a nob, many believe he is a utd fan, most think he is gettable, quite a few with an unhealthy obsession over the size of his calves. One particularly charming chap admitted that he would gladly stab a baby to sign him . £100m seems to be the concensus on what he would cost them this summer. But no one baulking at that price as they think he would help them win the league
  2. Dunno what cavani posted on insta but that is a pretty extreme punishment
  3. Get beat tonight and we kinda screw Liverpool over for the 2nd time this season. Every cloud and all that
  4. That Chelsea performance has rattled the bookies a bit. Villa were 100-1 to win the league before kickoff, 75-1 this morning (per PP)
  5. Targett is becoming a bit of a one on one tackling machine. More often that not he wins his duels when fronted up by a winger. Much improved
  6. I imagine that with all the health and fitness tech and statistics etc at his disposal that Dean knows exactly what his players are capable of and what their limits are. Dean seems to like consistency. Mr No.tinkerman
  7. Don't think anyone ever really doubted his defending ability.its just his passing that has been terrifying in the past. Dougie has been great at coming back and taking the ball off the centre backs recently so as long as Kourtney just keeps it simple and gives it to him we should be fine
  8. Take away his chewing gum as punishment. He can have it back when he stops doing dumb stuff
  9. Would love to know if Ming's got his first yellow for the tackle on zaha or the being involved in the "afters". For me he did nothing wrong on both counts
  10. Out of everyone id love to beat spurs. Ive been insanely jealous of them over the last 10 years because our respective trajectory's have been so different since the days when we were very similarly matched clubs. Plus lately we always seem on the verge of beating them til they pull something out of the bag late on to beat us. And if we can do it by Jack scoring the winner and then revealing a Josh onamah shirt under his own that would be great
  11. Can believe this. He causes a lot of panic and mistakes by defenders by his closing down. It's excellent. Also has a great knack of getting between the defender and ball in high ball situations. I think he is doing brilliant. Bizarrely for all our chances created, not many really good chances are falling to Ollie.
  12. I'm actually with Gareth Southgate on his point that we shouldn't be comparing with Gazza. Jack is better. There I said it. Feels good to get that off my chest. I love Gazza and even have his highlight videos in my collection. Had the pleasure of watching him live a number of times. Jack is better
  13. Ref better protect Jack. Poor sod is gonna get battered in this game
  14. Think it depended on the device being used. Prime on my phone and laptop was fine whereas my firestick and smart TV wouldn't even connect
  15. Hope Amazon sort themselves out for the villa game. Loads of people not getting connected to the Liverpool game tonight.
  16. No surprise that fella podence scored for wolves. He looked really dangerous against us and most likely to do something for wolves.good player
  17. Played a beautiful dummy this afternoon. Had his range rover slowly and deliberately pull up outside court, photographers were baited in then he ghosts in on foot from the other side. Textbook
  18. Gotta respect the efforts that vandal went to not to draw on the grout and only on the tile. Respectful graffiti that
  19. Just get him on the books of whoever it is that Jack uses for his personal training. Physicality is such a crucial part of the game nowadays as you can see with Conor who is technically excellent but struggles so much physically in the prem. Jack has transformed his physique over the past few years and really is a perfect athlete for his position.
  20. Not the worst week to see our first suspensions. I was a bit worried about burnout to our first eleven as we don't have guys in the bench busting down the door to stake a claim for the team and it is a hard thing for a manager to change a successful team. These enforced changes may just serve us well later in the season
  21. I know he seems to be the popular choice of whipping boy de jour but I enjoy watching traore play. He has a bit of unpredictability about him and granted he isn't quite on the teams wavelength but I think he is quite an exciting player with potential. He had a touch to control the ball in the opposition box in first half which was absolutely sublime.
  22. 1-1 Traore to score a class goal cutting in from the right and smashing one with his left foot. Jack to score the winner in the last minuteonly to be chalked off by var because he chose to wear the thick Alice band and it got flagged offside
