  1. We still think this happens for us? Why? Top two center depth is not our issue at all. 4th line, toughness, faceoffs, and a bit more leadership in terms of been there done that are our problems, not production from top centers. Eichel addresses none of that. Say no to laterals
  2. I guess you could just say a team has to remain cap compliant in the playoffs. If you have to be cap compliant in game 81, I don’t see why you don’t have to be in game 82+
  3. He does. He took the usual criticism for a few of his starting 11 initially but has since shown some great results.
  4. Men against boys with the Engerland game. Ukraine was never going to compete if they don't man mark on set pieces.
  5. So true. And for the record I hate VAR.
  6. Van der beek was a head scratcher move especially when he doesn’t get used. Maguire would be so much better if he weren’t paired with Lindleof but with the money they spent on him, he shouldn’t need specific pairings to be good. God I wish we could clone Keane lol
  7. Yeah I’m. Oh sure I can agree with the anthem being an “American” thing at all. Just look at how w team like a Italy belted theirs out. Disagree whole heartedly. I’m not really trying to have a go at you specifically just for the record. While hooliganism of 1990 is done, it doesn’t mean it’s done and dusted totally in English supporters. There is still work to do but not just for England of course. But I will say this. If you guys are saying “go ahead boo our anthem we will settle it on the pitch” then you’ve been doing a lot wrong since 1966 or for Euros never, which many used to feel was the tip top for European footie. Sancho. Meh. I agree but United’s problems weren’t with attacking or goals. Greenwood featured more would have been fine. MaGuire is shite but stuck and needs a better compliment than Lindleof for fucks sake. Then Pogba can’t be a 6 since he cares far too little for the dirty work. We need our next Keane and the rest falls into place.
  8. Italy did a fantastic job of wasting a good 10 minutes pretending to be hurt from the 75th minute on lol. It happens but they were taking it to a whole new level
  9. Y3ag, I almost felt like the Swiss were borderline amateurish with their penalties.
  10. Now THAT would be a very good move.
  11. A few things. 1. Yes the English deserve every bit of the rep they have with the hooliganism. Some of us are old enough to remember it. And also the super league was a horrible thing and supporters were right to express their displeasure but entering Old Trafford the way they did was unacceptable and I’m a United supporter for over 35 years. 2. There is still plenty of racism in English football. Son dealt with it on Tottenham, Rashford and a few United players dealt with it as well, Dhanda dealt with some, etc. 3. It’s disgusting to me when ANY fanbase boos another teams national anthem. I’m not saying it’s only disgusting when the English do it. I’m not even sure how that can be argued. 4. I’m not even really sure where the “our domestic teams are better than theirs” idea is coming from. I can only give my own opinion, as a person that supports an English domestic team and it has nothing to do with how successful my club is over the last 25 years.
  12. Yeah, no. I don’t care if they boo Santa Claus and small children. Doesn’t make it less disgusting. There are a few very valid reason many hate English supporters and this is one of them. It is what it is though and I have some very close friends including my neighbor from the UK. I’m also a Manchester United supporter since 1985 when I was 10 and in Manchester so it’s not like I’m picking on the English. Just a horrible look.
  13. The M?nchen area. Have some Austrian family but mostly everyone on both sides of my family are from Germany. My family is associated with some of the first Germans to emigrate to New York. Kind of cool I suppose and there was a German library built in NYC paid for by my distant relatives that still is there called the Ottendorfer library (my surname). I guess I could go there and get free books lol. Cant read or write a word of German though lol.
  14. I have to say, I don’t think it’s a great signing. I mean he will help but only as an extension of what they already have. Now, if they get a defensive workhorse for midfield and a better compliment at center back than Lindleof, then sure. They will make the chase closer for the title and do better in Europe. Still, Sancho doesn’t fix their problems at all and as you said, Greenwood basically plays the same position and style already.
  15. Germany isn’t the Germany we are used to. Still, fuck England and booing our anthem. I get it, the country hasn’t done shit in over 50 years and are frustrated but have some respect for a football program that normally outclasses England in every way normally. M?ller and Kroos should never have been playing. M?ller especially, he hasn’t done anything in over two years. I would have though after the last World Cup the Germans learned their lesson. Sad day for a German American such as myself.
  16. I remember the days when players actually tried to showcase their skills and give a fuck about the game. Sucks what it’s become but too much money at risk these days

  18. And I can understand that. I just think that if the Islanders walk away from him, we should be in line for his services. He hits, is an improvement from the dot, scores a few goals, is great on the pk, and has some leadership and character. It’s a flat cap so unless he wants to go to Ottawa, Detroit. Buffalo, NJ or a team like that, he isn’t going to break the bank and we would offer him a chance to remain close and still be on a team looking to compete sooner rather than later. A guy like him is exactly what we need if the price is right.
  19. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/bruins-star-david-pastrnak-announces-death-of-newborn-son-133315435.html Just horrible. Feel so badly for his entire family. When I was very young, my brother died shortly after birth. I know it took a long time for m6 family to get over that and to this day, we never speak of it. So so horrible.
  20. I know right? Amazing when he just shuts the eff up and plays football. Today’s games were nuts.
  21. They have some big decisions to make for sure. And there have been some news at least on Sirius Xm that the Krakan are expecting to make the playoffs next year so they definitely would look to take a talent for contract but still. Under 6m cap space right now . I’d say they need to get rid of Bailey or Nelson for sure, outside chance of Eberle instead.
