United thread 2017/18

It was obvious that that scummy lot at the swamp would be connected the very minuet they made him captain of England. Predictable as they come.

Hope he leads them on a merry dance. :-)

If man u had the goals last season they could've won the title or been right up there. I am sure mourinho will recognise that and fix it. They just brought in a new cb and are linked with a load of attackers. Pogba found his feet towards the end of the season, I'm actually he hit the post almost as much as kdb last season. I fuckin hate the rags but if you think they'll be the same as last season then you're wearing blue tint

Peggy has lost the plot bigtime.
They will never get back to anywhere near when they had that piss can...

Easier said than done. That would involve Mourinho freeing up his creative players to actually express themselves, which he'll only ever do if he has world class defenders he can trust to keep the opposition out without another 5 defenders in front of them. And there's the little issue of having to replace a striker who scored 28 goals for them last season.

But we know this. How long have we been saying, "If we sort the defence out, we'll win the title easily?"

I agree though. I never thought they were going to be a threat last season. Mourinho almost always has his best season in his second year. They'll definitely be better this season. Hopefully from 6th to 5th.

Well; some folk use their hands to slap people on trains. I happen to use an alternative method. How was I to know that it's illegal?

I hope they're asleep when you do it, J!

And if we hadn't conceded as many as we did, we would have been further ahead of them

And stop using that term to describe that shower; I fucking hate it.

It's the rags or scum!

They are desperate for goals, Bignose has left and he scored 28 in all last season, they don't have anyone at the club now capable of replacing those goals,they scored 20 less than all the top 4, add them together and they need 50 goals, not a chance they are getting two top quality scorers so I find it hard to consider them for top 4, I even had a bet with one yesterday for £100 that they don't make top 4, they don't even talk about winning it now, what a fucking shame !

Early days. They'll get the firepower that they need. It's only wishful thinking to believe otherwise.

Unfortunately them getting back into the CL has given them the lifeline that they desperately needed. Such a pity.

I think they'll be seriously stretched to mount a top 4 challenge, two strikers to stay fit and score over 50 goals, not a chance

I hope you're right but I expect them to spend huge (like they did on Pogba) and to fill all the immediate gaps.

The only team probably guaranteed top 4 is Chelsea and even then you never know. Can't wait for the battles to begin. :-)

Surprised some of our residents haven't done this already:
