other matches this weekend

Heard Darren Bent on Talksport earlier talking about his top 5 Thierry Henry goals.

You would not believe how much of an Arsenal/Henry fanboy he is. Absolutely besotted.
:rubchin:

Well he is "Bent" :D :wink:

I reckon Potch will be at United by the weekend. This is surely the end for Olè.

Humiliation at home against your most bitter rivals and in the final minutes crowd scene shots on Sky show Manure fans laughing joking . Was it a accepting the inevitable? Or was it black humour? Ir is Old Trafford just another big tourist attraction?

It's been a tourist attraction full of daý trippers and bandwagon jumpers since they first won the PL. Remember the old joke about there being bedlam on the trains back to London after we won up there in the 98 season? :lol: :wink:

United have a massive following in Ireland but where there are a lot of genuine fans there are twice as many glory boys. A bit like their bitter rivals from Liverpool.
I remember reading how local diehard Man U fans get so pissed off and frustrated with the tourist element at Old Trafford . Man U as a club will love the day trippers as the once a year boys will spend a fortune on official merchandise. We were the same , I remember members of the Dublin Arsenal SC waiting to go over to Highbury to buy new shirts etc as we innocently felt it was better to put our money directly into the Football Club.
I also remember Roy Keane speaking about David Moyes when things started going sour for him at United. Keane said something on the lines that Moyes would be judged by the away support. In other words to Keane the opinion of the selfie stick brigade at Old Trafford was irrelevant.

The fantastic turnaround job at Watford under Pearson continues

Joined on 9th December with the team bottom of the league with 1 win from 16 games and a total of 9 points. Nobody has ever survived from such a hopeless position

2-0 at Bournemouth and about to jump out of the bottom three, gaining 13 points from 6 games

Obviously not as credible as our 1-1 draw at Bournemouth and average of less than 1.2 points since Emery's departure ! I mean we've had to tackle the likes of Brighton, Norwich and Palace in that tough run of games

Sergio Agüero has just drawn level with Thierry Henry as the greatest foreign #PL goalscorer of all time.
Not better than Henry.

Henry had more to his game for sure, but aguero is without doubt THE BEST natural goal scorer in premier league history 8)

Like I said, as a natural goal scorer, nobody in the premier league history comes anywhere near close to aguero

Hard to disagree with that tbh. To think City only paid around £35 million to get him.

Shame he didn't join either of the big two in Spain or Serie A earlier.

RvP, Henry and Suarez were more complete though at their primes.

Strangely he's never won the golden boot in his 9 years at the club.
