    It's just not something Rashford is able to do, it's just not a part of his game as much as they try to coach it into him, assuming they have tried.

    He's always played best with a reliable left back covering for him and giving him the confidence to do his thing. i.e. when he'd play with Luke Shaw.

    Doesn't really help us. Should have been over turned on the night by VAR, and this again proves it is practically useless. This is the worst situation for us. The red card meant we couldn't try a come back in the 2nd half. But it also meant Bruno could get rested. Now Ten-Hopeless will pick Bruno again and his poor form will continue.

    Conceding after only 3 mins was a sucker punch we could have done without.

    I would have liked to have seen if we could have come back into it in the 2nd half but the sending off immediately killed the game off, which was disappointing.

    Here are some positives. We didn't lose 6-0, Bruno gets the rest he needs now, and Hojlund is back. Also it was only 1-0 when Bruno got sent off, Spurs were wasting all their chances so it isn't wild to say United could have got back into it in the 2nd half if it weren't for the sending off.

    Yeah not much reason to care if the players don't. But I still check in on this community. Don't know if there is another United place on Lemmy.

    I didn't know about the muted mics at the last debate so when I saw all the highlights I was surprised how calm and respectful Trump was to Biden. I couldn't understand it, I thought maybe he was being kind and had some sympathy to Biden due to his ill state at the time.

    But then I remembered who the F he is and now I know his mic was muted it all makes sense. I'm surprised he didn't just try shouting anyway over the muted mic.

    But just watching those highlights in isolation without that knowledge it almost...... kinda almost made him seem human.

    So definitely, unmute the mics so we see the real Trump and let him implode.

    It may not be what you are after but I find best source for news is You Tube fan channels like United Stand or FUTV.

    They may just regurgitate the news from those sports journalists tweets but it saves me having to use Twtter myself and they summarise everything quite well usually. Although some go overboard and are often clickbaity themselves it's easy enough to spot the actual breaking news Vs the click bait titles.

    Will be a shame to see him go but this is the exact type of transfers we should be doing, selling on squad players while they are still worth a decent transfer fee rather than letting them stay on until they no longer have any value.

    This is a no brainer. We have already got 4 good options for wide players for 2 positions.

    In midfield we have 2 good players for 2 positions. We need reinforcement there.

    Get Sancho Out and Ugarte In!

    Sweet pull. I'm a big fan of these scenic art cards rather than straight up character portraits.

    Always a good idea to do your pulls in the car too, get the best luck in there!

    So some more movement with De Ligt and Mazraoui in the door. Now we wait to see if we can get that much needed additional midfielder in the door before transfer window closes.

    So far a decent transfer window, although injuries have tainted it a bit again.

    Agree he has his negatives but the positives far outweigh those more often than not. He is a spark for us. Think how dull our front line would be without him over the last few years. He is exciting to watch when he gets it right and we still need that. Plus we do have Mount to cover him now if he does have bad patch.

    This didn't make much sense to me. Wan Bissaka was a brilliant defender. He is the perfect person to keep for squad depth. He may not have been amazing going forward, but when we needed to lock things up he was a fortress! So an amazing option to have. I think West Ham have got an absolute bargain out of us. I think this will come back to bite us when we play the hammers in the league.

    I didn't know this was a remake. Never heard of the original. I played Age of Empires 1 & 2. But not this.

    How does it compare to AofE then? I might have to give it a try if it's a simpler game, I don't have time for complexity now a days.

    Not the news we wanted to hear overnight from the US tour. Hojlund and Yoro both injured in the first half, apparently not from tackles but pulling up with separate injuries. Any updates on their condition? Hope they will be fit before start of the season.

    Apparently for a documentary. I wonder why they have picked a United game for this? Probably because they know there will be controversy, since we'll likely at some point throw the game by getting in a stupid position that leads to the ref having to make a idiotic and unexplainable call that will ultimately gift Palace a win late on.

    Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani has withdrawn from the process to buy Manchester United. He, like the rest of us has given up on dealing with the Glazers and has walked away. I see a lot of comments saying this is a disaster and the end for Man Utd, but if that is true it was over for us long ago if being bought by some Oil Giants from the Middle East was our only hope.

    I know this isn't a Birmingham City football community but I think it's interesting and positive for the city that such a big name has invested in BCFC. It's another chance to get the city on the map, give it some more positive coverage. And if it works and the new club owners, including Brady, are able to get City back to the Premier League it's got to be good for the city right?

    PreRelease is happening at local games stores on weekends of 29th July and 5th Aug. I'll be going to my local to play. I've always had good luck with pulls from PreRelease, not so much luck with placement in the tournaments. Who enjoys PreRelease? What experience have you had? Are you looking forward to Obsidian Flames?
