Agreed, but I think the Refs need to make a game of it.

Every time Jose flips the ref just walks over and pretends to fish around in his pocket...make it Pavlovian...

'Behavioural Adjustment' at its finest!

??? I'd agree if I'm cool with my most valuable midfielder, getting his leg busted.

Pogba also explained afterwards he was jumping out of the way of Noble's nowhere close, caution worthy tackle. He sure did embellish, but he needed to avoid that sweep.


Noble' not getting booked is absolutely the wrong call.

still a dive for me, sorry. Getting out of the way is one thing, but he doesn't have to embellish like that. The real problem in that situation for me was that Moss called this one, yet fell for a blatant Payet dive just two minutes earlier.

I think Cresswell should have bent sent off though for that tackle on Mkhitaryan.

Moss showed he was incompetent 3 missed cautions previous, so really to be expected.

I'm surprised you don't take issue with Noble's missed tackle.

I didn't say I was okay with the missed tackle, I said I was okay with the yellow card because I thought he embellished it. Honestly this is a situation where I wish they could call both ... like an NHL ref who both gives boarding/crosscheck/whatever and embellishment minors.

United poach two of City's scouts.

Manchester United have recruited two academy scouts from Manchester City, a source close to the scouting process has told ESPN FC.

The Daily Telegraph earlier reported that the City scouts in question, Dave Harrison and Lyndon Tomlinson, are currently on gardening leave and will begin their new roles on Jan. 1.

I have no idea what 'Gardening Leave' is, but I presume its important.

Recruited is a weird way to say "offered more money", but whatever works.

Leeds made that interesting though! I didn't expect much, and the result wasn't really in doubt, but they did put up a reasonable fight. Also the atmosphere seemed amazing.

It would've been nice to align this time at home to better daytime viewing. When you're down to the League Cup you know how bad TV is! That said, tomorrow should be exciting because its a replay from the league game this past weekend with WHU vs. ManU.

fantastic stuff in the second half - Martial, Mkhitaryan and Rooney (he's still great when he's pissed) were all brilliant today, they could have scored even more. Schweinsteiger got on with 5 minutes left or so and received crazy ovations.

West Ham was poo. Payets body language was incredible, that guy clearly wants out ASAP.

It's the first of December and we're:

Fourth in the League.
Runners-up in a CL group we should have won.
Out of the League Cup.


And our most influential player needs an operation keeping him out of the side for three months - a month and a half after getting injured.

Who the #### could have seen this coming?

That cazorla injury is rewly unfortunate, his injury is what led to them dropping out of the title race last year

Hate to see that and its becoming common for him

Guessing ramsey moves back? Need someone creative there beside the more defensive cm

Kane new contract signed for 5.5 more years to 2022

That should buy us about 2 weeks of no Kane to United stories from the mail or mirror

Poch also said another new deal coming soon, Guessing vertonghen but could be lloris
