So they all just tow the line and ask easy questions and back the club no matter what. Basically they're just an extended PR department.

The irony is that when sports reporters do get banned by clubs elsewhere, the fans tend to back them, their reputation gets enhanced, and sales of their papers often increase as they get more freedom to write what they really want to say. It should be regarded as a badge of honour from a journalist's point of view. If a club bans you for asking tough questions, you're doing your job properly.

Kilimanjaro— is that true? I swear you’ve never mentioned it.”

Popular Post The Bear Posted 10 February 2022 Popular Post Posted 10 February 2022 (edited) Max Kilman has been better this season than Maguire by a long way. He's not put a foot wrong this season so far, and needs to be thought about for the England setup. He's miles better than Tryone Mings for a start. Edited 10 February 2022 by The Bear 5

Mings gets in because he's left footed, if your man is then he could be in with a shout.

He's played on the left and right side of a back three. Left footed is a nonsense reason. Never been an issue with two right footed CBs in the past. 2

The Bear Posted 10 February 2022 Posted 10 February 2022 Actually I think he might be left footed. It's hard to tell as he uses both well. Favours his left though I think.

When we leave this whore league, our legacy will be not our league win, nor our FA Cup win, it will be how much we screwed Man Utd out of for Harry Maguire.

Here’s hoping someone at Man Utd reads this thread. You can have Soyuncu and Vestergaard for the same price as we gave you Maguire! £80 million and you’ll have two great options at the back. 1

Jimmy Posted 11 February 2022 Posted 11 February 2022 (edited) one day a journalist will wonder why a long serving physio with a great record at keeping players fit would suddenly leave and then that club have loads of injuries?

He was being rightfully panned after Sunday to be fair, but he misdirected by trashing the players (which also was true in part I guess)

As we saw last season, even a team as strong as Liverpool fell away horribly when hit with defensive injuries, which to be honest weren't as extensive as what we've experienced this season (for virtually all of this season we have been missing 3 or 4 of our first choice back 4). Liverpool were 8th or 9th until a strong late run over the last 10 games saved their season to some extent. 8th or 9th for them is like lower mid table for us which is where we are now. Our only hope is that we can get key players back from injury and have a strong finish, like they did last year. It's important to remember that around 20% of our PL fixtures so far have been against Man City and Liverpool. As in the great escape season, our run in looks favourable on paper so you never know...... Edited 11 February 2022 by Sunbury Fox 4
