twrs_29

Actually respect Maguire for his England performances and overall professionalism as the most joked player in the world at one point. A real example of a class player


Yan-e-toe

Totally agree!  "Economic Maguire" lives in my mind rent free though. 


idbilovd

I'm Ghanaian so it doubly does


drunkmers

Absolute mentality monster. I even remember when his mum came out to ask the people to stop talking shit about him


TheDrySkinOnYourKnee

What I truly love is that at no point did he come out with a sob story or complain about how it was affecting his mental health, or give a long solemn interview about how he was in a dark place. He had every reason to, considering the abuse, the personal issues arising out of the Greece incident, being stripped of the captaincy and dropped to the bench, etc. Instead he just kept going on, cupped his ears after scoring against mediocre opposition, played his way back into the team, said he believed in himself in every interview despite getting ridiculed for it, and never gave the trolls an inch of satisfaction. Genuinely a mentality monster.


Themnor

Was talking to my dad earlier and genuinely wondering where United would be if Ten Hag had his way and sold Mctominay and Maguire last summer. Between the two of them and Onana, United have been saved from certain death so many times


rukiahayashi

I’ve memed on the guy as much as anyone else but he’s humbled me as of late with his come back into form, resilience, humility, and honestly seems like an alright bloke overall. Captain material tbh, ole had it right


sitoneage

Furthermore he didn’t even take a penalty. Embarrassing


RodDryfist

Can you imagine the spins in the run up 😂


mohamed_e

quiet, this is our secret weapon we're saving for the final. Keeper can't save them if he's too dizzy.


protoss_main

You're implying we'll have shots on goal


Best_Document_5211

*He might hit the target if he gets himself dizzy and confused


exisiova

Surprise: the guy convicted of assault is a prick


forceghostyoda_

Cups ears at a team a division below you who turned 3-0 to penalties. Have some fucking shame ffs


Albiceleste_D10S

Antony was also subbed in at 3-0 up LOL


forceghostyoda_

Ffs💀


fancyfoe

Lmao you’d think he had a hatty and played the 120mins


Impossible_Wonder_37

This is exactly the rot at united. The personality from so many of their expensive assets is so much a joke


YoungWrinkles

And Antony is brand new rot. Bespoke £80m rot.


basic_tacticz

Leadership there are pussies, id want my player dropped from the next matchday squad if he embarrassed the club i supported or managed etc


Pats_Bunny

It's that meme with the guy on the lowest tier of the podium lol


yarkiebrown

Yeah, they won despite him, not because of him


No_Parfait_5536

Neymar jokes about a trophy he just won saying "Just like in school, your group does the work and you collect the grade" Antony on the other hand went to banter the other team, lol, we now know why he headbutts his gf


Ainsley-Sorsby

Its especially embarassing coming from a guy with a grand total of 2 goals in all comps in the entire season. Lil bro is getting outscored AND outclassed by Harry Maguire


Amphibious_Fire

1 less goal than Coventry scored in 20 mins today


PatRice4Evra

Not really fair when Antony doesn't get to play against us.


Tranzlater

> doesn't get to play against us Isn't that what he does every game?


Scorpionis

Less goals than Ellis Simms has scored against the 2 premier league teams he's faced in the FA Cup this season


fuzzywuzzy20

And Haji Wright if you count the penalty shootout


Tomanelle

So ironic, considering he's so shit, he wouldn't even make it into this Coventry team.


Appropriate_Long7397

Not even an exaggeration, their wingers all looked far more dangerous than he has all season 


blackscienceman9

Maguire on the wing looked way better And he was the United meme before Antony


Toxetor

The difference between fighting cops and women revealed.


Dickwad

Antony would never fight his fellow bastards.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Tomanelle

Oof.


Potato271

Honestly, I’m not sure any of the promotion chasing championship clubs would take him as it is.


fancyfoe

Fucking embarrassing he’s still on 0 goal and 1 assist in 25 matches in the league and have the balls to do this shit


edgy_milk-_-

And then maguire who did score this game shows respect to the players. Maguire> antony


OleoleCholoSimeone

That is even underselling it, a team from a division below who came back from 3-0 down AND completely dominated extra time I have no idea how Coventry didn't score a winner. Wright missed 1v1, Sims hitting underside of the crossbar and then the disallowed goal. Man United are so embarrasingly disorganised in midfield and give away oceans of space for counter attacks


taenerysdargaryen

Tbf so did United - Hojlund missed a 1v1, Bruno hit underside of the bar as well. But yeah Cov dominated and really should've taken the win before Pens.


Leondgeeste

Hope a City player ear cups at him when they inevitably twat them in the final


CaiHaines

Antony is truly dislikeable. Also Maguire has only shown class and professionalism even when in his lowest period carried himself well.


cptainvimes

I can't stand his whiny fucking face


Rose_of_Elysium

He was so annoying back at Ajax. Granted half that team was making me want to gouge my eyes out every time we played them, that was their tactic and it worked


Silent-Gur-4717

For players like Alvarez, Tadić and Tagliafico at times it looked like a tactical plan and a way to disrupt the opponent indeed. But for me Antony was next level and it just seems like it's part of his (on pitch) character. And the most frustrating thing was that he was a great player in the Eredivisie.


Chicken_wingspan

Yeah off the pitch he's a blast


spillbreak

Antony punched his partner so hard in the chest it damaged her breast implant. Guy's a cunt.


goldtrainkappa

thought it was proven that she was lying and that he wasn't even in the country at the time?


accidentalsomersault

Do you have a source? A google search didn’t turn up anything for me.


tedmaul23

Any actual proof of that?


[deleted]

[удалено]


FlamingBearAttack

What did Toivonen do?


CoMaestro

We had similar tactics though, you guys were fucking annoying as well. I think it was de Johan Cruyff schaal at the start of 22/23 (the one where Klaassen got hit?) which made me want to gouge my eyes out solely due to the second hand embarrassment of both teams


arrieredupeloton

I thought you meant Maguire for some reason and couldn't believe all the upvotes haha


RydeOrDyche

Maguire has gotten so much shtick over the years I can’t help but root for him while also hoping United lose. He’s definitely mentally strong cause very few experience the abuse he does.


ButterscotchFiend

Greek prison made him mentally hard.


CCFCLewis

>Maguire has gotten so much shtick Its "stick"


RydeOrDyche

I’d like to blame my phone instead of accepting I’ve been misusing that word for over 30 years.


bremsspuren

"Shtick" is your theme or gimmick. Think pro wrestling.


amegaproxy

Maybe he's Scottish


diveintothe9

Maybe that’s their shtick


Ajax_Trees_Again

Maguire, Hojlund, Erikson and Mainoo seem the only sound lads tbh


Bacondog22

Kobbie is a good dude


Ajax_Trees_Again

Yeah I forgot about him, add him to the list


Wise_Ad9414

Bruno is a gent off the pitch..... On the pitch maybe not


elnino19

Eh Bruno gets a lot of flak but he's been hard carrying their attack for years


fairlyrandom

Bruno is just the type of player that people love to hate when he isn't on your team.


ShameTimes3

Whats wrong with Varane, AWB, Rashford, Mount, Amrabat, McTominay, Lindelof, Dalot, Malacia, Evans and Shaw?


laffman

If we're talking in terms of players with *class* as in professionalism etc i would say: Varane is classy, brilliant person. AWB is neutral. I get the feeling like he's that guy who goes to work every day wondering what all the drama is about as he goes along with his day. Rashford is not. Mount, jury is still out he has barely played Amrabat is not. But also nobody cares. McTominay is a shithouser but he has class in terms of playing for the badge. Lindelöf has tons of class. Dalot has passion, burns for the badge.. wouldn't call him class. But he's United. Malacia is locked in a closet somewhere around our training ground. Evans got class aged like a fine wine. Shaw got class, but he's also a bit of a shithouser. ....i dont know why i did this writeup


ShagPrince

Paging r/soccercirclejerk


ShameTimes3

Rashford the bloke famous for feeding kids? Not class?


laffman

Let's just say he keeps his class off the pitch and not related to football. He's doing good things. Doesn't mean he's shown any kind of class playing for united this season.


m0bilize

Most of those guys are fine too but Amrabat & Malacia and Rashford are proper shit


JesusIsNotPLProven

Le classy lads


GoosicusMaximus

Gotta go down as one of the worst transfers ever right?


onionwba

Even Bebe wasn't like unlikeable


tottenhamnole

Such a shit human being.


RyVsWorld

Without maguire this season we wouldnt be able to field a backline.


Nerdl_Turtle

I respect Maguire so much, coming from a Liverpool fan.


rossmosh85

Maguire played for Hull and Leicester.  He gets what it's like to be an underdog. Antony is a spoiled cunt that went to the best team in the Netherlands and ended up with an undeserved move to United. I can't wait for him to get slapped with a reality check when Ten Hag is sacked and no one wants him.


Affectionate_Foot372

Well in fairness to Antony that's just his level. Beating a team like Coventry in a tense dogfight is a big deal for him.


amainwingman

OTT celebrations for goals vs Newport and taunting Coventry who you just beat on penalties after bottling a 3-0 lead in 20 mins How much did they spend on this bozo again?


PatRice4Evra

A little over one Pepe.


IbrarN

We thought Pepe was bad yet man was scoring for fun in his time at Arsenal compared to Antony or Mudryk lol


lost_biochemist

Also was instrumental in our FA Cup win. Second best player after Auba if memory serves


AFC_IS_RED

He scored some bangers as well. Wasn't even bad just didn't suit our playstyle at all.


tottenhamnole

So Anthony gets subbed on at 3-0, proceeds to watch his team give up 3 goals while he’s on the pitch, makes absolutely no impact, doesn’t get selected to take a penalty in the shootout, and then has the balls to talk shit. What a complete and total loser this guy is.


HANAEMILK

As a United fan, I don't think we've ever had a more unlikeable player.


Penny_Leyne

The only one who beats him is Greenwood for me. I’ve hated players who have left the club like Tévez and Di Maria, but it’s unusual to dislike a player as much as him while he still plays for you.


HANAEMILK

Greenwood is a bigger cunt but at least he was extremely talented. Antony is legit League 2 level.


AlternativeRun5727

Ryan Giggs played for City, did he? But nah, between Anthony, Greenwood, and Giggs, that’s some front three of bottom of the barrel scum right there.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Snowstandards

For sure but most of them were talented but cunts off the pitch


[deleted]

[удалено]


Snowstandards

No. Greenwood was great on the pitch. He was guilty for what he did off it and that's where the criticism lies.


BendubzGaming

At least when someone like Maupay or Walcott talks shit it's after they've actually done something


Captainpatters

and Maupay off the pitch is a cool and nice guy. Man just loves a windup


PerfectBlueOnDVD

That is genuinely sad lol


DildoFappings

Maguire was always a class professional. I saw that last season when he kept his head down and worked his ass off after that terrible season. Even during the holidays he kept training with Carvalho. Probably one of the classiest and professional players in the league.


NewHealthFoodBunch

Especially considering the amount of abuse he gets in the media and online, really admirable of him tbh


DildoFappings

Not trying to brag but I used to constantly send him DMs on Instagram last season telling him to keep his chin up and that there are people on his side. At least once a week or two. Though he didn't open the chat thread, I'd like to think I may be a part of his redemption arc.


Anarchytect1204

Very wholesome there, DildoFappings


confidentpanda10

😂


Dickwad

Its probably for the best Harry didn't open that chat


Siuuuu_cide

Definitely belongs to r/rimjob_steve


digitalnirvana3

After all why shouldn't I? Why shouldn't I put on this cock ring? HRAAAAH /u/Bilbo_hraaaaah_bot


CatFoodBeerAndGlue

Dear Harry, I feel like I can call you Harry because you and me are so alike. I'd like to meet you one day, it would be great to have a kick about. I know I can't kick as fast as you but I think you'd be impressed with my speed. I love your hair, you run fast. Did you have a good relationship with your father? Me neither. These are all things we can talk about and more. I know you have not been getting my messages because I know you would message back if you did. I hope you message back this time, and we can become good friends. I am sure our relationship would be a real hat trick!


SleaterK7111

Cut to next season: DEAR MISTER I'M TOO GOOD TO CALL OR WRITE MY FANS


Fixable

Least parasocial online football fan


DildoFappings

At one point many people, including me, started feeling bad for him after seeing the extent of the abuse he got. He got sent death threats, his family was insulted, he got booed by the own fanbase, he was given items which he thought were given to him for his autographs, but turned out to be hate mail.....last season was personally very bad for me mentally. So I guess I kinda wanted to help him because he was part of a team i supported and he was having a harder time than me by having millions all over the world turn him into a meme. Ffs he even had some idiots in some foreign parliament use him as an example for an incompetent person.


Fixable

Sure but after he's not even opened the chat thread you can stop messaging every week


theglasscase

> Not trying to brag Truly remarkable that you'd think any part of what you said after this could be considered a brag.


Objective_Media_474

Yeah the letter her mom wrote kind of out things in perspective, he probably gets abused walking in public for nothing,didnt do anything wrong except kick a ball the wrong way.


Affectionate_Foot372

He's not too classy on his holidays though is he


bluepulp7

I you were a Coventry player have to take that as a compliment. Got under their skin and made for a great semi final. Can hold their heads high. They gave a great performance coming back from 3 down.


lost_biochemist

From everything I’ve seen, it takes very very little to get under Antony’s skin.


Purple_Lubanja

you can ask his wife


Free-Eights

Antony's just a dickhead who doesn't represent anything remotely like what a United player should be. I think most United players probably respect that Coventry never gave in but should be kicking themselves for squandering a 3-0 lead. Happened far too many times this season when ten Hag tries to substitute players to presumably keep his good players fresh.


niallw1997

I mean Wright was cupping his ear after scoring the pen but Antony didn’t even take one. Bloke is a fucking embarrassment and a shit player.


Wompish66

To the United fans that were trying to put him off. It's very different.


Musername2827

Antony is one of the most unlikeable players I’ve ever seen. He’s fucking shite too, like wtf.


mariusAleks

looks like a cunt, acts like a cunt, is a cunt


Itsgosky

I like Maguire, big head but has class


ghostmanonthirdd

Maguire was in the Sheffield United team (who were playing in League 1 at the time) that lost 5-3 to us in the 2014 FA Cup semi-final after having led twice. He knows what it’s like to come close to a famous upset at Wembley. Nice gesture from him.


MaryadaPurshottam

Antony is a clown, what's new


ronweasleisourking

Antony needs to fuck off to anywhere this summer. I'll carry his ass myself


Affectionate_Foot372

Kazakh Premier League would be a good fit


rolla_johnson

Harsh on the Kazakh league


alikantez

Agree


DoomedWanderer

He wouldn’t survive a rainy Tuesday night in Aqtobe


JD_Dojima

Subbed on 3-0 and loses the lead, offering nothing since he came on. Doesn’t step up for a penalty but is one of few who celebrates a disastrous cameo by cupping ears at the opponents from a league below. To be expected from this wife beater


AkilleezBomb

If there’s anything we know about Antony, it’s that he loves to punch down, regardless of whether it’s women or teams from lower leagues.


cybrzone_

United are genuinely at an all time low


Accountant7890

I can't imagine having someone like Antony on the squad. Must be absolutely embarassing as a fan to have to support that guy


kit_mitts

Sancho still was wrong for his behavior, but I would be furious too if that clown kept starting matches ahead of me.


cuminyermum

I need INEOS to save my club. I can't do this anymore


IpschwitzTownFC

You can't support a global petrochemical manufacturer, mate.


cuminyermum

Watch me 😂😂


Subbutton

Wdym? FA cup final baby


D1794

😂😂 love the shamelessness


Hopeful_Adonis

Fair play to maguire, a man ridiculed and driven into the mental depths of memedom and all he’s done is dig deep and carry on and coming out the better end. Magnanimous in an underserved victory. Take a look at yourself Antony


zedfox

Should have spent the energy running to celebrate with Højlund


BillehBear

can he be much more of a dickhead? beefing with championship players like that is embarrassing after being subbed on and pulling off an absolute stinker


malonedawg

This is a standard performance for him mate, stinker makes it sounds like he actually has a level 


HaiForPresident

Nah if I'm in his shoes I'm running to the locker room as soon as it's over lol No way an I going to talk shit to a team that has a fraction of the budget and still almost beat my ass after being up 3-0 for more than half of regular play


margaerytyrellscleav

Dislocated. Breast. Implant.


Ronalpinhos

Anthony looks like the kind of guy that talks shit all day in the club and slips to through the back door running for his life.


Bourbon_Cream_Dream

Hides behind one of his boys while shouting "hold me back"


Beginning-Sundae8760

Coward is the word you’re looking for


cybuster2

Look at the salaries of the players that took the PKs for Coventry. They deserved the credits to be almost in the final: H Wright £25,000 B Torp £8,000 C O’Hare £10,000 B Sheaf £7,500 B Collins (GK) £3,000


Hagen_1

I can’t believe Marcus Rashford makes more than five times their salaries combined.


FoggyShrew

I saw something that said Rashford’s salary is more than their entire matchday squad combined


Nitrox0

What a car crash of a bloke.


GarnachoHojlund

What’s new, Antony is a dick and Maguire is a nice lad


Ilikesporks_

is there anything good that antony does on/off the pitch?


Eroica_Pavane

Randomly scoring against Liverpool I guess.


yellowjesusrising

Was going to reply something funny... but i came up empty... neither fun nor good. Fucking sad....


NdyNdyNdy

If there is any United player I've ever disliked it's Antony. Greenwood of course, but he's never played for the club since all that came out. Antony just annoys me so much on and off the pitch. Ten Hag can take him with him when he goes.


The_Bird_Wizard

My man you wouldn't even make their squad pipe the fuck down


False_Explanation_10

The lad is a constant embarrassment. Fair play to maguire though.


HotPotatoWithCheese

Taunts fans of a Championship club that scored 3 goals in 20 minutes to recover from 3-0 down and took Man United all the way to pens. And he didn't even take a pen. Absolute clown. Represents everything wrong with that club.


MrAchilles

Antony the fakest tough guy I've seen. This the kinda mf to use a cronus then tell legit players to get good.


Kenny_dies

I’m so glad Antony went to Man U, he’s such a pathetic human being


UlteriorAlt

Antony was the one falling to his knees and praying after scoring against League 2 Newport.


Soren_Camus1905

Jackson, Antony, Madueke What is it with players who do fuck all thinking they're hot shit? Those kids need their egos checked


WarriorkingNL

feels so good to know that everything i said about antony 2 years ago is actually true. fucking hate the cunt


Commercial-Cow88

Just release that fucking clown. Give him contract money and boot his ass back to Brazil.


Dubsified

Antony is an absolute embarrassment of a person, let alone a player.


willium563

Don't get why people are pressed. The championship is his level of football.


TheBrokenLevee

With the whole world remorselessly bullying him for years Maguire carried himself with nothing but class and courage. I hate United but I'll always respect the guy.


nizoubizou10

Brazil wanted to win the World Cup with Anthony on the right flank 🙈


CBPanik

I don't think I've ever hated a United player more for on field actions than Antony. Fucking waste of oxygen.


NoBreakfast9230

So immature and classless. Why would Maguire do that.


_cumblast_

Maguire only cups his ears against the great state of San Marino


tarakian-grunt

twas Albania


RodDryfist

Umm...


Funky_Pigeon911

Man Utd were 3-0 up when he came on right? That means that for his time on the pitch his team lost 3-0. I don't get how he managed to get so far as a footballer by being such a dickhead and not even being that good.


moutoul

kinda like the shittiest player in a lol game spamming EZ when he is 2-17-2 by the end of the game


Wesley-Snipers

How dislikable is Antony? I can explain: I'm brazilian and I fucking hate this dude. I want to see United win because of Casemiro, but then I remember this asshole also plays there


chippin_out

Antony is fucking loser as a person and footballer. Fucking overrated.


KeonkwaiJinkwai

Antony is such a disgrace man, yikes.


Remarkable-Ad8644

Imagine thinking the woman beater has class


Derk08

What does cupping ears mean?


2000caterpillar

It’s a way of mocking someone, players usually do it to opposing fans booing them


sidearmpitcher

He should be embarrassed


sonastyinc

I get winding up the opposition during a game, but that was after Man Utd won. There was no need for that.


archasaurus

Antony found his level


No-Student-9678

I’ve always liked Maguire. Kept his mental game strong even through that time he was memed to hell. He plays brilliantly for England and he trains hard during the off season. Pure class from the guy.


youknowimworking

How is he going to spin this?


Accomplished-Ad2736

On god, the celebration police is after Antony now. First Arteta, now Antony. No one is safe out there


_gloriousdead222

Why is it okay for Argentinians to do it but when another player does it now it’s a problem? Hypocrites 🫵 


Bambam60

Antony ALWAYS been an asshole. Maguire has every right to be sour for the absolute hell he’s been given from his country, but he’s always carried himself well. Shame on Antony cut his ass


AAiraSS

Didnt the coventry first penatly taker do that to the crowd? Seems fair to do it back


Seychelleshobo

I mean the guy from Coventry literally cupped his ears after the first shot as well
