Matchday 29

Sounds like he has a similar personality to Wilshere.

Hahaha nah. When he first came to the club everyone talked about how mature he was and his former manager still keeps in contact with him and says he's a really nice guy with a really good head on his shoulders. Even now that he's in what is close to a worldwide spotlight everyone that comes into contact with him says that he's really humble and always willing to talk, he still makes the trip to MK to go watch their games with his former team mates when he's available. He just suffers from a bit of white line fever. He said that he had to develop that streak when playing in League 1 against older men who regularly tried to tackle and intimidate him out of the game, even as a 16-17 year old.

Jack Wilshere is just an utterly insufferable, conceited, supercilious campaigner.

Apart from that you think he's a top bloke.

This sounds like Wilshere to me.

Except the part about going to watch his mates play. Nobody is surely stupid enough to be mates with jack wilshere

 

[PendlePie]

Alli is a great young player, but a thug nonetheless. How many kicks or dog acts this season? Perpetuates the "he's English so he just loves having a go - good honest lad" stereotype.

A foreigner would be lambasted for some of the sniping he's gotten away with. That kick v Fiorentina was pathetic, and his comments even more laughable. Even Poch knows it.

Also, inb4 stupid Spurs supporters post crying images. This isn't a spite post. Alli was anonymous against us at the weekend. Lucky for Spurs that Coq's sending off evened up the numbers.

 

[jd2010]

Yeah that ghost that back heeled the assist for Kane was great

 

[PendlePie]

Surprised the dirty campaigner didn't try and rake the back of Mertesacker's ageing legs with his studs instead.

And FWIW, Bellerin got 2 assists yet had an extremely average game. Though Bellerin isn't a flog.

Not as pathetic as the Arsenal player and managers continual whinging to the refs during and after games this season. He has a bit of a mean streak, as long as he doesn't get sent off - which he hasn't been this season - I'm perfectly ok with it.

Still managed to do excellently and provide the assist for the Kane goal despite playing under duress - Pochettino's now come out and said he's been struggling with ankle and knee injuries for a few weeks and there's a chance he could be rested for the final weeks of the season. It certainly wasn't his best game but he usually drifts in and out of games while providing moments of genius, it's the nature of being a teenager.

You must have missed the part where Alli is regarded a humble, upstanding young guy off the field.

Strong deflection. Supports my argument re: English stereotype.

He's a great young player. Never said otherwise. He did **** all against us though, and the way he approaches the game needs changing - as your manager has alluded to.

 

[jd2010]

I couldn't care less if Alli has a bit of campaigner in him if it's channeled right. Stevie G and Scholes both had it in them. As did Gazza and even Viera. Nothing wrong with it just have to be smarter which I'm sure he'll get as he gets older

 

[Zidane98]

Yep. You do need karmichael hunts in your team these days to win trophies.

 

[moomba]

So thats why United have won a heap. Out campaignered everyone.

There isn't much campaignerishness left in them these days. Apart from Shrek they are all mostly pretty inoffensive and unintimidating.

No, they're all campaigners.

 

[jod23]

United always has a team full of campaigners. It's just they used to have campaigners who were good at football, now they just have a bunch of campaigners who are shit at football which I think is better for everyone involved.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Yeah they're really "shit" at football.

Only playing at the highest level in England for the biggest club there.
