English Football 2015-16 - Leicester City won the league - Page 331 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

The scary thing about this United side is the lack of football knowledge shown in certain situations. When we went behind we went to pieces mentally, that was the most worrying thing I took out of this game.

Yeah when we go behind game plan's out the window. The reason Fergie got so many late goals is because we never ever panicked and just kept playing our game.

the notation is xG, short for expected goals which in turn is derived from expected value or EV, a common term in poker theory

Don't think Rooney drops himself, unless he fancies some time off for granny shagging

You're all lol'ing at Rooney for bottling that chance where he got tackled, but his skill and run to even get the chance in the first place was v good.

aehm no
marty said that ramsey was already better than wilshere even though that clearly wasn't the case.
I even had agreed that ramsey is one with more potential but that hasn't stopped marty to come back and claim "victory"

More angry with his pathetic pass which led to their first goal

Yeah, totally makes up 90 minutes of giving the ball away, one which directly lead to a goal.

Utd need to face facts, admit Young is comfortably their best attacker, and start him every game.
------------Pea (lol)
Depay - Mata - Young

I would doubt Wilshere has started four games in a row in the last three seasons. Wilshere is very good, but injuries have us not knowing just how good he can be.

I like that in a weekend of unexpected results we still had Adams and cattermole making rash tackles resulting in a red/pen respectively
