Goalkeepers are lunatics. They really have to be. I used to want to be a keeper; until I realised that 5ft 5in was no good for a keeper…

Go on, geezer.
I watched some of that match. I just have to get used to the fact that it feels like its 50% luck and 50% skill.

Go on, geezer.
Brentford would have had at least one goal if McGuire was playing.

Honestly commitment and effort can take you a long way, which is kind of why the game is great, you can’t just be brilliant, any complacency will likely be punished.

What is the consensus about American ownership in English or even European football?

Poor old ‘arry “slabhead” Maguire. Turning cycle of a double decker.

I'll let Joe take this obviously. I know he has a special place for the Glazer family!

Man Utd fans sing vile chant about Joel Glazer during protests against owners
Joel Glazer has been targeted by the Manchester United fans, who were heard chanting "he's going to die" ahead of their Premier League clash against Brentford at Old Trafford

Depends on the owners. Leverage buyouts to use the club as a cash machine and tying to create an American style closed League in euros mean the PR isn’t great. The Glazer’s can go and fuck themselves.

I was living in Manchester when the takeover happened and held shares in the club. I missed every live game of our best ever team and bought no merchandise for years. It took quite a long period of their ownership before it felt like their ownership was not going to end and that I was missing more than the protests were worth. Had more fans been on board I wouldn’t have folded.

Fun fact: when COVID crashed the market I was a short term holder of shares lol
Yeah, this was not a thing in the States.I don’t think my joke landed because Snickers used be called Marathon in the UK & Ireland before 1990 but I’m now guessing that wasn’t the case in the US
My cousin was a goalkeeper....can confirm...he's nuts...
You are no where near Animal enough to be a goal keeper.

Go on, geezer.
What if he has a few drinks first?
Then every piece of calamari in a 10 foot radius should be afraid.

Cheated in the first half. He was onside and that should have been a pen.
