Ha switched it on, the Chevrolet ad, Rooney has to deliver the line "I'm Wayne Rooney, & I play for you.."

Amazing how wooden he has managed to make each single word. You would imagine that takes a special talent, but I think it's just that he has Michael Owen as an acting coach.

I thought that, but I'm assuming that they are not being that stupid & are suggesting that Humphries & Barker are the only changes ?

If they are that clueless it just shows what an isolated world they live in.

In my experience this commentating duo, despite being a little biased naturally, tend to know their shit and are relatively decent so I'll give em the benefit of the doubt

I think all the games are played over here, because it's not sanctioned as a UEFA tournament.

The other European competition, where we beat Bayern etc is the U19 Uefa Youth League:

Ten changes & some of the U16s picked apparently.

And Selina + Barker are off to Abu Dhabi.

The commentators are sound to be honest. At youth level they tend to know their shit and talk like passionate knowledgeable fans.

Interesting to hear that Celina and Barker will be with the first team for the Hamburg game.

He did call him Humphries Barker.

Diallou.

Saw him play at the younger level & he was utterly fantastic.

This is how every single game at every level I ever see, looks v Utd.

The score is the only thing which changes. Last year, a different 11 battered fuck out of these & were only 1-0 up, rags could easily have equalised, with their one attempt, & city scored a late second. Another day same game we score 3 or 4. Today they have 3 attacks in 45 mins & score two.

I'm starting to admire them.

I think it's obvious that like us, they have a plan at every level. There's is: play like shite, hope it doesn't go in. Hope you can cash in at some point.

Works at every level including the first team.

Yes I think btw. Haven't checked the number of Tatum/Oliver. Tatum is the taller gingery looking one at right back.

Marcus Wood was playing centre mid last time i saw him.

If we keep playing our game we should be able to turn this around. Come on young blues!

It makes you wonder what would happen if these cunts had the ability to come out of their own half a bit more.
