Kane is undoubtedly the elite striker of the premier league. If he goes to a proper big team he will score as many goals as he wants. Fitness is his only question mark 

Take away pens and he's scored one more than DCL this season. Only thing he's got that DCL hasn't is Son next to him. 

Look at Kane for England.

Shit touch Kane. See them goals at Goodison Park the other week?

I’d love us to have a striker as good as Harry Kane. The man is on another level. 

What striker would have missed those two gifts?  

You watch their game against Leeds? Lukaku got shit for a lot less. 

We've already got one better. As was our last striker.

Kane?

He's got more power in his shots from outside the box but other than that DCL is better in every department. 

Stronger, fitter, faster, dribbling, touch (Kane's is shocking), hold up play, aerial, reading the play/better movement. 

In our league the only striker that is a level above him is Aguero and he's nearing retirement. 

If we look to sell and bring in a more senior player there's only Lukaku who I can think of, but he's not gonna leave champions League football to come back to us this summer. Any one else would be a risk ss they're unproven in the league or no better.

Of players his age and under there's only Haaland and Mbappe that I know of that are notably better. 

Man u giving Leicester the three points. I forgot the likes of Mata were even still at the club.

"I don't understand how I, an American who was born in 1977 in Philadelphia, could own a football club that was born in the middle 1800s in Wrexham, Wales. It doesn't make any sense.

"The way that I approach is that we are stewards of the club. I like the title chairman much better than I like the title owner because I truly can't own that. The town owns that.

"Our job is to come in as chairmen and to help facilitate the success so that the town can continue to flourish, the team can continue to flourish, and they can have success long after we're gone and there are new chair people that take over."

I'm not sure that's right. Remember when United lifted the trophy at Goodison? I don't recall that being the last game of the season, but I could be wrong.

It was last game of the season and the referee absolutely robbed us that day to make sure we didn't rain on their parade. 

Beckham scored a freekick that never should have been given. And they were given a pen for the winner, can't remember if it was a foul outside the box or a dive, but it was never a pen.

Edit:

Everton succumbed to controversy. Ruud van Nistelrooy lost his footing and crumpled under vague challenge from Stubbs 11 minutes from time and Mike Riley awarded the seventh penalty he has given United this season.

I would suggest that’s more issues with the users than the system

From personal experience (although not etickets) it's were the club haven't activated the ticket.

I remember not very long ago it didn’t matter what other teams did it was in our own hands, but we couldn’t win a game at home even though the CL was there for the taking, gutted  

3 points from 5 games really pissed on our hope. (Chelsea, Burnley, Brighton, Spurs and Palace.)

Sigurdsson and Gomes skew the stats.

Won’t be internet based. Anyone who gets a ticket for the Wolves game can download their ticket to their phone and see how this system works. It will be absolutely fine, airlines have used it for years. 
 

Just looked and my oldest flight ticket on the wallet app is from 2015, so it’s very much tried and tested. 

I'm sure they already user etickets at the club but they have issues. Every time I've went the Goodison road box office there's always been a queue.

No. I haven't. I've responded directly to each of your ridiculous claims, corrrected you on your incorrect statements and tried very hard to bite my tongue. But you insist on vomiting dangerous sweeping generalisations. So I'm going to stop here before I stop biting my tongue and become less polite. 

Sweeping generalisations? You mean facts. With hard proof linked, compared to your mate telling you it's fine.

No I'm not undermining it. You're just being deliberately obtuse, to stretch the meaning of that word to its limits. Thanks for confirming. 

Don't agree at all. You've consistently tried to divert the conversation away from the real issue of institutional bully culture.

What are you talking about?! 

I'm not saying that at all. I said policing more. MORE. key word there. Im saying that they (social media) do control content already, but people want them to do it even more. Was that not clear? Or are you being deliberately obtuse? Honest question, I truely can't tell. 

As for using Twitter and other social media as "evidence"... some of it is genuine, some of it is staged, some of is it deepfake. So it's often very far from a reliable source and is much more dangerous in my opinion. 

A squad. Ok... but you do realise there's 132000-ish police officers in the force, right? A squad is a handful of people. I'm not saying for one moment that there's only a handful of people who are the problem, there's probably thousands and they need to be found and prevented from doing these horrible acts. But that's still the minority. Put it this way... if what you were saying was accurate, all media, traditional and social, would have 1000s of murders a day every day if the violence was institutional. 

Please don't think I'm trying to undermine the horrible things that happen. Im not. Im simply saying that tarring a group of people with the same brush is a dangerous and irresponsible thing to do, and only adds to the violence. 

So you think people shouldn't post real news and we should all be drones to the BBC? 

It's a whole squad, not just a bad apple. Not just that squad either, watch any video on Facebook or wherever and you'll see bullies and incompetence. They're a national disgrace. 

You're very much undermining it. You're making out as if it's not an issue at all. You've not even done any research. Just going off the word of one bloke who will have unconscious bias at best.

Yes. Yes they do. They're actually being actively criticised for not policing the content more and have promised to do so. That's why people get banned from posting on those platforms. Seriously Pete, its a ridiculous statement. 

I don't need to watch a video to know that a minority of the forces doesn't represent the entirety. Question for you- do you think the actions of a few represent the many? 

 

You're contradicting by saying they get criticism for not controlling the content. My whole point is you will see that uncensored content that British media doesn't shout about. 

Minority. It's a whole squad. Watch any video and you see the same. Bullies hiding behind a role their not fit for.

He's running at 2% of the vote in the London mayoral elections; so that's around 50,000 people thinking he's talking sense, which is a bit scary.

50,000 less votes for the Tories or other right wing parties.

All those children running downstairs on their birthday to unwrap their QR code . 

The changes won't affect me, as I'll be paying the small charge for a physical ticket, I've kept all of mine and will continue to do so. Having the ticket on a mobile just doesn't make sense to me - if your phone dies you basically can't get into the ground? What if the app fails to open due to a glitch? What if it's internet based and your connection goes down? Solving a problem that was never there IMO, a bit like changing the font on the seats or changing the colour of the escalators.

That's a good point, I've worked in a place were the phones were internet based and everything come to a complete halt when the net was down. God help us if it is internet based as there's no way the club are gonna get that right first time round. Even now with a simple ticket there's chaos twice a season, especially cup games.

"Look at any video on Facebook, Twitter or wherever isn't controlled by the billionaires/government"

I gave up trying to write a response reading this. If you can't see the contradiction in your statement, there's absolutely no point in discussing anything with you. 

They don't control the content posted. But you're smart enough to know what I was getting at.

Watch the video. Then tell me it's only some and not institutional.

The environmental impact is pretty large for the amount of season holders they have.  The 5 pounds is a good way to discourage those who are just lazy and could get digital.  If they didn’t make it a cost thing likely not many would switch over which defeats the purpose.  Also it’s 5 pounds, not a big deal.  If you can afford 500 you can afford 5 more.

They sell beer in plastic bottles every game so don't think they're arsed about the environment when making the decision. If that's the case I'm happy for them to just update my old one.

For me it's not about laziness, more efficiency. A card is a lot faster, plus people will get bored waiting to get in and start looking at something on their phone rather than have their code ready making it even slower.

Also a lot of people will have them as a keepsake. Just imagine the mum's and dad's out there trying to get their kids excited about a q code that can scan them into the ground compared to having a physical card.
