Damn Phil Jones refused to have a testimonial match clause in his contract. He said no one might show up

Phil Jones 'rejected Manchester United testimonial' in fear that no one would turn up | Daily Mail Online

These footballers really be going through some shyt
Breh needs a hug

In a way I feel bad, but then I remember them times he's cost us games, the FA Cup Final and more

4 own goals in his career..more than he has scored for us



Chris Smalling deserves one in a few years, went to Roma cause he wouldn't settle to be on the bench and Roma were interested

Fabinho

This could be a huge loss for Pool. No real replacement for him.

Lingard

What a lovely gesture to push the wheelchair kid with no legs out to the pitch.

 

[TobiOT]

Shaw looking as usual

 

[TobiOT]

Ethan Laird, Bernard and Tuanzebe. 3 brehs at the heart of defence

 

[TobiOT]

Lingard finally scores after 28 games...it's against League 1 opposition but whatever, it counts

 

[TobiOT]

Only negative is that some of them take too long to pass and when they do..Greenwood would be already offside

 

[NSSVO]

Glad Jesse got one in

 

[TobiOT]

Chong..how did you miss that?


And Astana equalise

 

[nyknick]

Should just leave Chong in Kazakhstan

 

[TobiOT]

You shytting me

 

[TobiOT]

That was Shaw's fault..Bernard was unlucky

Speaking of records... ronaldo played 10 season for RM, 10 seasons and only on la liga 2 times in 10 seasons If you look back at RM history idk if you can find a period where they won la liga only 2 times in 10 seasons. Not to mention he lost a ucl final against messi and a ucl SF. Not to mention RM is a bigger club than Barcelona. Messi changed the whole balance of power in la liga. Before him RM were always favorites to win it.
Not to mention all those refs that helped RM along the way in UCL

Barca and Real have always been the favourites to the win La Liga, since like forever.

The C dot run is no different to what happened with Real in the 90's. Once la Quinta del Buitre era (they won 5 La Ligas in a row) was ended by the Dream Team (who won 4 La Ligas in a row) in the 91 season, Real only won 2 La Ligas the next decade, but won 2 CL over the same period.

Barcelona had only won 10 La Ligas before the Dream Team era, Real had won 25 up to that point. As of today Real have 33 titles and Barca are on 26, Barca have won double the titles Real have over the past 28 years. Barca have also finished runner up 25 times to Reals 23.
