Leicester losing again and in the relegation places. They'll be going on strike again soon, if they're not already.

Usually I love it when United embarrass themselves against a small team, but not when it's the new "Yorkshire's number 1" Huddersfield. Not that I'm jealous or anything!

Nope. Huddersfield are our rivals. United, as much as I dislike them, are not.

23rd December at Elland Road. Of course I will be at the stadium. On current form I do not expect a happy afternoon.

I think he's an exceptional player and one of my all time favourites, but he is showing no respect for the club he plays for. Could've been a legend if football were one of his priorities.

He's still pretty good when he plays for Germany, but you just can't switch from I don't give a sh!t to world class mode in 1 week

I don't think the problem is that he isn't willing to work hard for Arsenal, but that he isn't willing to work hard for no reason for Arsenal. I definitely don't think that he came into Arsenal in 2013 completely unmotivated. However, he's never been the sort of player willing to work hard just to show that they're willing to work hard. Give him a clear tactical role and instructions to match, and he'll work his ass off to fulfill them. He'll press, he'll track back, he'll tackle if it's his job and he's doing it as part of a team, but if you send him out there without giving him clear responsibilities and without teaching the team how to press as a unit, he won't just sprint after the ball for the sake of it because that would be expending energy and gifting passing lanes to the other team for very little gain.*

The English don't like tactically astute players like that, especially when they can be made scapegoats for things that are ultimately the manager's fault, and so he faces a lot of criticism, and at this point is probably totally through with Arsenal, but everyone else, except maybe Schweinsteiger would also be at this point.

*German players are generally like that, even the workhorse that is Muller. Very few of them press alone except in tactically advantageous situations.
