Re above;

He knows he saved their arses far too many times and even the football world knows their team is fucking shite. (especially the defence ) He knows he wont be blamed and can still keep his standing as a top keeper till he gets his transfer
THEY SAY SWEARING IS DUE TO A LIMITED VOCABULARY. I KNOW THOUSANDS OF WORDS, BUT I STILL PREFER "FUCK OFF" TO "GO AWAY"

If the 20 points is accurate then they wouldn't have even qualified for Europa. That's how unrealistic that figure is.

It's impossible to quantify but how many times did you see him pull off a ridiculous save to win them points last season? His save from Aguero won them 2 against us, the cunt.

You're working off the correct numbers mate. 2 points he gains for them, not 3, which I imagine is where the 20 points came from.

Sterling's shit finishing? A bit of that, a bit of DeGea, a bit of Ederson/shit defending and a bit of Martin Atkinson.

This was after 22 games of last season:

In fact, De Gea has single handedly earned United 11 points already this season.
The stats were calculated by replacing De Gea with a keeper who has the average league shot stop rate.
It may seem harsh, but bear in mind that this average keeper still has a better return than Simon Mignolet, who has shot-stop rate of 57.1 per cent.


They would have been 6th (already 28 points behind) rather than second in the league.

Anybody noted that their share price has fallen by over 12% recently. Obviously some people aren't happy with them.

Funny that stuff like that is never reported yet it is if the price rises. Can’t think why that might be the case :roll: :roll:
