Used to think everyone (for some reason) who uses the sitewas in their mid and early 20's lol.

How unfortunate the thumbnail landed on MK scouser :o and not the Carra look-alike.

Scholes mate I'm only just into my 30s.
Ken's only 28 but he has had a really tough life. Lol.

He actually looked 23 when Moyes took over Shappy.

Sort of hoping of of the mouthwash brands jumps on board Danny.

Great mentos add there. He spat on my daughter, but it was all good because mentos is the fresh maker.

Anyhow, i'm happy that I can think of you as Ken the Dub who looks like Carragher.

Okay Gentlemen, We have news on the Matt Hawker Cup 2019.

So far, what do we know?
The date will be the 15th of June
And held in Oxfordshire-ish again.

After speaking to all 24 players, they have all told me they would like to play again next year, and due to their monumental effort how can anyone say no?

After seeing the wonderful words and backing on the site, it is clear a lot more people want to join in for 2019, so we have decided to increase squad sizes from 12 to 14, allowing us to have 4 new players.

Quite frankly there is no easy way to choose, so from as of right now we are running a competition.

It is one question you have to answer, by midnight, Friday the 22nd of June.

How many in TOTAL, goals will be scored at the world cup 2018. So yes this includes all goals previous to today, so time to do some homework ;)

The closest 4 will be added into the Matt Hawker cup, the next 4 after that will be placed on the reserve list. It is an honour to Matt and the website that so many people want to get involved and for that i am extremely grateful.

For any ties in the final standings, it will work on closest guess then move down to who submitted their guess first, so you may want to wait till friday after a few more goals, but is it worth the risk?!

Please email me on benjaminallen1991@hotmail.co .uk, your username if you have one, contact email address and your guess.

Best of luck!

Would be great if we could get a few more of the United boys involved. Jred? Red man? Beast? Fancy trying your luck with me Ken and the other United lads who got involved?

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Jun 2018 22:54:42
Yer definitely up for it, sounds and looks a great crack. Did you's all stop over and make a night/ weekend of it .

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Jun 2018 23:07:46
Good shout shappy, Ken on one team and jred on the other let them mark each other😀😀.

Agree2 Disagree0

20 Jun 2018 03:15:18
Nice if we could have the MU page vs the LFC page?

Just saying it would be nice.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 Jun 2018 02:05:41
Leahy i think the game should be held in Ireland and me and you could be co-managers of Ken's side, and making sure the drink flows lol, it was also nice to see Ken kitted his team out in some decent colours.

Agree3 Disagree2

20 Jun 2018 06:34:47
Some stayed jred. I think more will next year. Enter the comp guys. You won't regret going. Well you might on the Monday but the soreness soon passes😁.

Agree3 Disagree0

20 Jun 2018 09:24:29
It sounds awesome, alas I'm probably not going to be in the UK.

If it continues to appeal and more and more people are interested, it might be a good idea to have a mini-banter world cup. Have the different pages represented, maybe start with a 6-a-side tournament, obviously City will need to hire a bunch of mercenaries to represent them, lol.

If I'm about I'll definitely come and support and throw in a few bob. Keep up the good work guys.

I’d be well up for this next year 😊 is there an ability cap? Don’t wanna upset the scousers by nutmegging then too many times 😉.

20 Jun 2018 11:46:17
If someone wants to play in Ireland or the north of England I’d be game 😂.

Ive just agreed to play one last season next season. Would be a cool way to call it a day. I'll chuck my name in the hat deffo.

What sort of play you into Caolan?

Were just football fans herew.

19 Jun 2018 12:59:54
Do we still hold any interest in Lozano? Could be an option for the right forward role.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

19 Jun 2018 15:27:44
Could do, although he does almost exclusively play on the left.

Agree2 Disagree0

19 Jun 2018 17:23:43
Shappy’s right he is primarily a left winger. Really good player and I remember ed saying city had some interest in him.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - and Chelsea do.}

19 Jun 2018 19:17:12
Serious question, why can't alexis sanchez play on the right?

Considering he drops so deep its like he's playing holding midfield it doesn really matter what flank he plays on.

Agree4 Disagree0

19 Jun 2018 19:50:40
Good question DSG, he should be playing on the right IMO but not sure why.

Agree3 Disagree0

19 Jun 2018 21:09:02
Because he likes to shoot, and he has more opportunity to shoot when cutting onto his good foot.

We knew what we were getting with Sanchez, good player but expects to play in his preferred role.

Agree3 Disagree3

20 Jun 2018 09:15:08
I always assumed he would play on the right. That's where we needed him, we had a gaping hole on the right, and two good young players fighting it out in the left, pushing each other and making progress. Sanchez is a top tier player, he would have been fine playing on the right, and given how he performed it couldn't have been much worse. But I suppose its easy to say that from the comfort of the armchair.

Love it. Lol.

Agree2 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - glad you enjoyed Shappy, I thought I was very fair and completely unbiased, even though my team was shamelessly cheated of a fully deserved win.}

19 Jun 2018 11:21:53
Nail on the head ed. top quality stuff. laughing out loud here.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - and I never even mentioned how much you look like Jamie Carragher either. (Yes this time I will resist the opportunity to make any spitting image jokes).}

19 Jun 2018 11:31:50
👎👎👎👎😁.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - sorry ken, you have a future in being a double...}

19 Jun 2018 12:16:16
Good one Ed. A truly unbiased review of the funday. Where can i find a video of the game?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - it will be uploaded to youtube. As soon as I have the link I will post it up for you.}

19 Jun 2018 13:01:06
Thanks Ed! Really looking forward to watching the game. May be someday i will also be a part of it.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - next year hopefully.}

19 Jun 2018 13:37:19
Is there any chance the game could be moved further north Ed001? Or is the current location best for most of the lads?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I don't know mate, no venue has been decided upon yet. I would think a lot would depend on securing one to hold the match.}

19 Jun 2018 14:31:39
No rubbish Ed lol. Or we could throw it back and play in the back alleyways.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - now you are talking! These days we would probably just all end up arrested if we played there. We used to play in the street when I was young, by the time I was a teen you couldn't because there were too many cars and the owners would chase you.}

19 Jun 2018 15:02:47
Them were the days, throw 2 jumpers on the street for the goals, if you hit a car then you got a good chase, kept us fine and fit.

Agree1 Disagree0

19 Jun 2018 14:53:08
It was still okay a while back Ed, but kids nowadays don't get off their consoles and phones. I know what kind of childhood i would prefer.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I love my console but I would much rather kick a ball around outside any day.}

19 Jun 2018 15:24:51
Would be disappointed if you don't fancy a game in Fifa? .

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I haven't played FIFA since Matt passed as I always used to play against him. He was a big gamer since getting ill as there was little else he could do to pass time over the last few years. I have not really felt like playing it since he went. If you have a playstation account you are welcome to add me for if I ever do go back to it mate. trepei is my PS name.}

19 Jun 2018 15:35:48
Great review Ed I couldn’t stop reading until the last word.
Great to see the pictures and I’ll be planning to fly to the next one.
One year in advance and if I save $10 per day I should have enough to be there to watch next year 🤣
I’m really looking forward to the next game and meet all.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - it would be great to meet you at last 666.}

19 Jun 2018 16:38:05
Why not do united fans v Liverpool fans, or England v ireland.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2018 16:41:15
As long as you don't lose a talckle to a 12 year old you are welcome 666. Ill keep you on your toes😁.

19 Jun 2018 18:58:52
I’ll be the photo/ video grapher Ken.
I just want to make the excuse to watch/ meet and drink with you all. Just became item in bucket list 😉.

19 Jun 2018 19:19:53
I'll try and make a special guest appearance next year, my fee won't be too expensive,2 grand will do.
If you lot can't come up with the money I might throw in a freebie.
Only joking I'll definitely try make it next year.

Agree0 Disagree0

18 Jun 2018 23:51:00
Much needed result for England, a nice change from the regularly disappointing opening result.

It was much like watching United at times and that was largely down to Young doing lots of nothing in the final third.

Right now there's an 80% chance of Young and Valencia being our starting full backs again next season, which is slightly soul destroying if I'm honest.

19 Jun 2018 08:32:14
According to the commentary and pundits it was the best football so far seen at this World Cup, world class and like City of last season 😂 oh and that unbearable Russian heat 😂.

Agree3 Disagree1

19 Jun 2018 09:59:00
First half they played well.

I agree Young is a frustrating, but he did lay a certain goal on for Lingard who fluffed his lines by stepping backwards to shoot rather than stepping in and heading home a sitter.

In a back 5 i think you need a player who can go down the outside and cross, that is not Young.

Agree2 Disagree0

19 Jun 2018 10:37:08
The balance seems off with young at left wing back. Call me old fashioned but I prefer to have my left back left footed and right back right footed. When rose played against Costa Rica he provided good width and stretched the opposition defence. Young cuts in too much and it’s obvious what he will do. He can put in a decent ball but not enough. Think rashford, Loftus Cheek and rose should replace sterling, alli, young for the next game.

Agree3 Disagree0

19 Jun 2018 11:24:18
Sterling was terrible, he should of been taken off from the start of the second half. Loftus Cheek made a massive difference when he come on as did Rashford. I think Loftus Cheek has to start in the next game. I would also bring Rose in for young and swap Walker over to fullback.
Pickford
Walker Stones Maguire
Trippier (Henderson or Dier) Loftus Cheek Rose
Ali Rashford
Kane.

Agree0 Disagree0

19 Jun 2018 11:55:01
Welsh. Bitter, much? :)

19 Jun 2018 12:04:07
I just love how the range of bias is from best we’ve seen at the tournament to excuses like the heat has been underestimated. Ken’s team could get through that World Cup group lol.

Agree2 Disagree1

19 Jun 2018 13:54:28
Not just commentators.

On here yesterday.

Belgium cruise to a 3-0 win.
Beast - that was absolute dog s**t.

England look like a somewhat decent team for 10 min.
Beast - strips off to pants, and starts doing the John Barnes rap.

18 Jun 2018 23:44:03
Am i right in thinking mourinho could be looking at casemeiro as the other cm as ed002 very kindly pointed out in the list? with golovin looking like he's going to juventus and milinkovic-savic possibly going to madrid/ juve. have to wonder who the young cm united are looking for could be?

Casemiro will be a super signing.
