Even worse after Partey ran that pick on the Nketiah pen and got away with it

Mind you, with Zinchenko on, there is more than enough time for Palace to win 2-1

Entertaining game, I thought a 1-1 draw would have been fair. Pretty bad reffing all around, the red card/two yellows were both pretty ridiculous but particularly the second one, even though it was slight there was clear contact in the box on Eze shin to shin with the rapist and Partey also pretty clearly had his arm around the last man back on the Nketiah fall in the box preventing him from defending, also Nketiah has zero chance of controlling that ball, he took such a heavy touch and kicked it straight out of bounds and flopped but he was looking for that pen all night, though Arsenal deserve credit for being quick on the free kick and Palace fell asleep a bit. Nketiah should have finished the one he put off the post anyway and Arsenal were pretty clearly better for a lot of the first half even though they looked a bit vulnerable on the counter.

What a dumb club.
No limits.
It's not beyond them to sign him back in 5yrs time for 200m.
The whole issue should have been put to bed by end July latest.

It's at least been consistent so far the time wasting yellows, after talking about it so much

Based on previous seasons ya its incredibly soft

So it depends if the standards slip

I’ve no issue with the first yellow. I’d love to see more of that.

Re: Greenwood

Surprise, surprise!

Quote:
Sources told ESPN that the most likely destination is a club in Saudi Arabia or Turkey. Sources close to the striker insist the decision will be based on which club is best-placed for Greenwood to rebuild his life with his partner and newborn, and not necessarily where he would have the most success on the pitch.

You'd have to be insane to pay any money for him, United should be paying you to take him off their hands.

I'm not actually expecting United to bring in money from this, it'll surely be some sort of contract termination.

Either way, "United should pay them to take him off their hands" is obviously nuts too. Let's not forget United have already lost a 100m asset for nothing here, for reasons out of their control. They then made the situation even worse on themselves by paying 100m for someone like Antony, but that's a different story.

Theres that traditional Australian sense of humour!

But United have publicly said they dont want him. He is under contract so if nobody takes him and he doesnt agree to dissolve his contract, he could be collecting 'Man United Money' until his contract expires while training with the reserves...or whatever.

I guess we'll see.

If not for the war I would have had Russia as the heavy favorite, KHL has shown they arent shy to go after these types
