Split rounds are a horrible way to start the season in my opinion. You wait 6 months for footy season to start and to get stuck into that main course and you're served with two entrees. Every team has the same level of interest in this competition, let them all start on the same weekend. Sure most people will tune in but the way my viewing went this year I'd likely miss both Syd based games and just wait for the week after.

NFL: The 'Not For Long' league. Look at us. Toast of the town last week, best coaching performance of Kyle's career IMO, offense hot. This week we lose two starters, Purdy's reality check and come back to earth with penalty flags everywhere and weird play calling again.

As clear as PI gets, contact well before the ball is even thrown.

Honestly most teams who play our style wouldn't mind these two to kick to.

Top 6. But it doesn't hurt to have a good bottom 6 And it doesn't hurt to have a good mid 6 or 24 - 29 y.o bracket.

I know he's a left footer but is he a decent left footer? Probably a no-go.

Just because there's a lure doesn't mean it will catch anything.

Later Brodie. It's been real, sort of. If some of the suggestions here that he checked out or refused to be picked are true then that is just poor on his part.

How Kovacic's two studs up tackles weren't red when Curtis Jones' foot rolling over the ball last week was is completely beyond me. VAR is failing miserably.

After experiencing success I now understand how hard it is to be constantly looking through the windshield as opposed to the rear view mirror as a footy club. It is not popular and sometimes it hurts like hell, however you need to do it if you want continued success. I have no idea right now if keeping or trading Oliver is the right move in the long run, but I trust our FD 100% to do the right thing. No-one is bigger than the club and despite how players felt in the past it is a privilege to wear our jumper again.

We've got our man. Welcome Andrew!

I was definitely expecting a wise crack response so that was refreshingly surprising 😆

These are all good responses to my points. As mentioned, it's purely an outside bozo on the street view of it. Overpaying for players is probably a good way to look at it because it puts the magnifying glass on more. Having a really good sporting director is just so important these days. Varane has missed a lot of time with injury so I'd put him in the Thiago Alcantara category of someone you'd just love to have out there more consistently. As for Casemiro, you're right he was excellent last year. Maybe one of the signings of the season, but as it stands early in this campaign he hasn't looked right. The midfield mix is definitely not helping him (or anyone) but I don't quite buy into these guys being better at Real because they were surrounded by quality. There's enough quality at Man Utd to get more out of him in this early stage so I'm expecting to see a turnaround as he's no doubt a world class player. Lukaku I agree on. Much like Diego Forlan wasn't an indictment on Fergie. While there good cases for these players not being total flops, they are not at the standard that a club like this requires. As a former president said, they don't give United shirts out in Wheeties boxes. I can't believe I find myself here championing the Man Utd cause! A lot of the problems are systemic and will only change once owners who care about club success are brought in. Do you think Rashford cops a bit too much criticism?

The 'last man' is the most misinformed phrase in my time of watching/playing Soccer. Definitely going to check out that Twitter page.
