The Court of Arbitrary Arbitration - Random Facts, Thoughts, Etc.

Thanks for the shout, i'll check it out.

 

Watched the first part. ******** me, how far we've fallen.

I remember that year so clearly. I was 17 at the time. It was pure madness. Like many of the lads said, nobody in the country even knew what a treble was. We defined it.

 

Best part of the doc so far was when Scholes was in the youth setup and they told him and his parents that he was spending too much time partying with friends. So Scholes said he moved the next week and hasn’t spoken to any of those friends since then.

The players back then wanted to make it at United so bad they prioritized it over everything else. Huge departure from our current squad.

 

Unfortunately, social media and the internet age has caused all this

I liked the randomness of the draw - this will only favour the big clubs more

 

Interesting article from The Athletic on “pausa”, the importance of it and the players that do / dont have it. Or did / didnt - is an older article.

Mainoo has it. McT most definitely not …. Keane & Scholes masterful at it.
