    Good afternoon, I'm just sitting here having a bool of soup and considering how much I enjoy soup.  So much variery, so many flavours.  I'm currently having a Baxters Lentil & Bacon which is sublime and I've gradually departed Heinz as I indulge in more Baxters.

    My favourite though still has to be a bowl of my mums home made soup, nothing can beat it.    There are few few flavours I don't like though mushroom can get in the sea as can French Onion.   Anytime I'm out I will always indulge in a bowl of soup for my starter.

    My favourites would be the old classics, broth, lentil, chicken but I so enjoy the chinese and thai ones, the hotter the better.  I mind returning from India and my first meal back at my local Indian asking the waiter what soups they had, expecting a hearty mix of Asian delight only to be hit with Tomato, Oxtail, Chicken etc.  Marvellous.

    Anyway what do you all think about soup,  what's your favourite, what don't you like about it etc etc

    i used to like Baxters Scotch Broth, recently though, it just doesn't taste the same.

    Typical rectangular block of cheese. Lends itself to being easily and neatly cut with any decent knife.

    No. After she's been at it, it invariably ends up looking like someone has tried to hack it to death with a soup ladle. :blink:

     😆 Takes me back to the my younger days, ma maw never cut a tomato in slices, looked more like something that hadn't paid a debt to a mexican cartel.

    UEFA rightly value winning a trophy over finishing 3rd.

    Look at the situation in England where finishing 4th is celebrated by fans, or for some teams finishing 17th is a great achievement . They actively aim to get knocked out of cups. Bournemouth , what did they achieve in 5 years in the Premier league. Did they even make a semi final in 10 attempts while a top level team?

     

    fans who celebrate 17th in the premier league  over cup wins, will point you in the direction of Wigan.

    I'd rate McTominay along the same lines as Darren Fletcher, in that he'll get a lot of games for Man United while never being a consistent first name on the teamsheet.

    McTominay might not quite have the technique of Fletcher, but he prob makes up for that in athleticism.

    He's a stick-on for Scotland.

    Gilmour on the other hand looks like a star in the making.

    If we're replacing McGregor and Jack with Gilmour and McTominay in the next couple of years, that's hardly a nightmare scenario!

    Fletcher was close to being first name on the team sheet at United, and a far better player than McTominay will ever be

    Ah, sorry I thought you may have been an Englishman bitter that McTominay chose us, but you're actually a Scotsman who is bitter about English born Scots playing for us. 

    bitter ? i'm not bitter in the slightest, it just seems standard are so low, McTominay to many on here is seen as quality, whereas at his club, he a squad player who's only above Matic in their midfield pecking order..

     

    i have no issue with non scots playing for us, i think Tierney is one of our very best players.

    Even if I am to accept that Cleverley didn't get a game because Man Utd were so good at that time (and not because he was largely shite), why the f**k did they loan him out to the third tier and not another Premier league club?

    Are you English or are you one of these weirdo Scots who hates his own country?

    where did i say i hate my own country ? Why did Alex Ferguson loan Beckham to Preston North End ? 

    i just don't think he's a genuine top half of the English Premier League player, and when United get their shit together, he's wears a tracksuit on the bench most of the season, or he moves to West Brom or Burnley.

    but apparently ''we're lucky to have him''  maybe we are, but he's still anything special

    It's not the truth as anyone with a pair of eyes and single brain cell can see. Scott McTominay has already played more games for Manchester United in his 3 years as a pro than Cleverley did in 7 seasons. Cleverley was loaned out to Leicester in the third tier, then Watford in the second tier then finally Wigan in the Premier league before he even got a sniff of starting for Man Utd. McTominay walked straight out of school and straight into the first team. There are levels between them and Sir Alex would tell you that as well.

    McTominay will play for Man Utd as long as he wants to IMO. He could stay there his whole career but he might get fed up winning f**k all and move on to a better side. I don't think there's a hope in hell that McTominay is playing in the English second tier at 31 the way Cleverley is just now, and he could easily reach 80-100 international caps if we continue to qualify for things, not the paltry 13 that Cleverley racked up.

    Eyes ? Brain? Use them and see the side United had back then, all during Cleverly's loan spells United were probably the 2nd best team in Europe over that period, i'm not saying he was  anything special, but to claim McSauce is better, i'm just not buying that, the shiteness of the current United is the only reason  he's has that many appearances , i don't doubt the boy from Lancaster will get more scotland caps, wouldn't have gotten a single one for the nation of his birth though, never mind 13, that's why he shat it and decide to play for Scotland.

    Our team would improve immeasurably overnight if we could unearth a ball-playing sweeper centre back. That would allow McTominay to move forward into his natural position simultaneously improving the shield in front of the defence and taking some of the pressure off our more offensive midfielders in coming too deep to start moves.

    Jack is a solid player, but he neither provides the intelligence in defensive screening nor the quality of passing McTominay does. McTominay is the link man we need. Unfortunately, at this point McTominay is also the defender we need.

    i never ever thought i'd read or hear anyone say Mc Sauce is the man we need🤪

    West Brom level player getting regular starts with Man United, reminds me of that Cleverly guy who got shifts for England because of the club shirt he wore.

    its bizarre isn't it, I don't know anyone that gives the remotest fucks about the CL.back in the day when the highlights were on ITV id record them but now theres not even that and I cant say I feel as if im missing out on anything

    Champions League before Sky got involved was brilliant, wasn't too bad when they stuck their toe in the water, BT's exclusivity is disgusting

    I think he was more or less brought in as an "appease the fans" appointment. Bring in an ex-player who is fondly remembered for the 99 Champions League win  to get over Van Gaal and Moyes. 

    Such appointments are often a bust. 

    he was brought in as an interim, won 11 or something on the bounce, and he is remember for far more than the 99 CL Final, their CEO is clueless in matters of football, should've let him be the  interim until the end of that season.

    People of colour is getting more common, especially in America. I think we're delving too deeply into the nuances of translation here, with a language we know nothing about. Half the people at least with English as a first language are unsure of currently acceptable descriptors.

    i went to see 3 men of colour do a show in Las Vegas, it was money well spent, they were very entertaining,

    The Solkjaer results cycle continues.  United will lose their next league game (at home to City I believe) then beat someone 2/3-0 away, and he will be safe for another couple of weeks.

    he'll be safer for more than a few weeks, he'll get the full season and maybe beyond, his job is safer than any manager in Scotland, even Stevie Me.

    If you're Ole in, how much time will you give him? (redcafe.net)
