The rags though have a habit of building up their players too early, along with the media in general it must be said, so if they don't make it, the fall seems bigger. Janujazz anyone?


Yes WE would but we're not talking about the rag fans or any fans in general, it's the over hyped media suck up that's disgusting.

van Ghoul actually made a very valid point in the press conference ahead of the Arsenal game. He said he wasn't worried to start Rashford against the Midgets because "young players always do well in their first match - it's the second or even third that is tricky". I agree with this. They're often fearless, full of adrenaline and they often over preform in their first few matches, but as soon as the expectations and pressure start to pile up it's a totally different ball game.

Yes. And other teams have video of them to analyse.

Defenders learn fast. That bloke at Leicester has stopped scoring, you notice.

He's averaged two goals per game, and unless he scores a hat-trick in his next game he will never, ever improve on that average. For the rest of his playing career his stats will always prove that he's not as good as he once was.

This stat made me smile

When Arsenal last won the league, Rashford was six years old

When the dippers last won the league, Rashfords dad was ten years old

By the next time the rags win the league, Rashford himself will be 50 years old.

I'm amazed he hasn't been knighted yet, clearly some sort of official oversight

Bound to be one of the three to not make the final cut. Delph will surely be another

2 goals in his last 9 games. One against Demechelis and the other against Villa.
He will be a West Brom player in a couple of years and will eventually make a living in the championship.
