he's on of the best refs in the league, had a nightmare with that for sure !!

Agree one of the top 3 for me with Dean and Oliver.

Another pen where the standing foot points straight where it’s going. I was never a keeper but got told this when I was very young. About 80% are correct.

The other 20% were Grezza who was impossible to read. But you are right the standing foot is a good ' read' for a keeper. I always struggled with the ones that were struck firmly into the top and bottom corners though

I used to play in goal. I would not have gone down with a broken leg if the ball was still in play never mind a tap on the leg from Fred. The telling bit was how soon he recovered and no lasting problems. De Gea at fault for me.

Spot on. He fully expected to be able to stop the game and he would have succeeded but for the referee hesitating as the ball went behind him.

Even then, the referee tried his best to give a drop ball or some other nonsense. Only VAR resulted in the correct decision here.

I think Carrick has the potential to be a very good young manager. He won’t be short of suitors for sureb

Just been announced that he's stepped down as coach and is leaving the club.

Speak for yourself. There wasn’t a foul to be raging about.

De Gea thought an arsenal player had stood on him the soft get.

"raging about". Lol. Who's raging about a foul? Who's raging at all? Are you ok?

I think he was paraphrasing your first post where you mentioned raging.
