All this shit about 'the United way' and their fucking DNA makes me both laugh and angry at the same time. There's an article in The Guardian saying 'United must live up to their past' (https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2019/apr/22/solskjaer-easter-manchester-united),

Their "DNA" was Baconface. He was the heart and soul of the club who controlled all aspects of the football side. He wasn't parachuted in to a club that had some sort of magic formula for success. He had to build that himself but he didn't leave anything behind but his history of success. No structure or formula for his successor. Just a group of players who he somehow got to overachieve, under owners who weren't as committed to achieving the top prizes as he was. They've tried throwing money at the problem and that hasn't worked. They got managers who were proven winners but that had no impact. So their latest trick is to get someone in who "knows the club and the United way" but the guy they've got in has a pretty undistiguished manager who probably doesn't have it in him to even keep them up there, let alone move them forward. He'll be gone by the end of next season and then what's their next trick?

They need to forget their past and think hard about their future. Let's hope they don't.

The inquest lasted half an hour after the game apparently, so once you’ve got your boots off jumped in the shower and got changed it probably left them with 5 minutes for them to come to the conclusion they are shit.

I could have told them that in 10 seconds.


Probably would have spent the next 4 minutes and 50 seconds laughing at them though.

The Mail are saying Rojo is on 160k a week. Surely that cant be true

Would it surprise you if it was true?

Woodward knows nothing other than offering more money, probably read a rumour from @indy_kaila on twitter that said Barca were after him and offering 150k a week.

He was signed at the time i believe they adopted a position of "we really only have cash to lure them" and started compensating for the lack of top level opportunity i.e. an almost guaranteed title. It seems higher than even i thought but i can easily believe it.

It's an old article, and no need to click on it really, it's the bit that says "Rojo, who earns more than £120,000-a-week," that's important.
 
The future's not looking great for United either, here's my humble verdict ;-

1. David De Gea - Keep
2. Victor Lindelof - OK Number 2 defender
3. Eric Bailly - Too rash - get rid or at best No.2 Defender
4. Phil Jones - Too clumsy - get rid
6. Paul Pogba - Absolute wanker, show pony, no danger awareness -get rid
7. Alexis Sanchez - Lost at sea - get rid
8. Juan Mata - Leaving

11. Anthony Martial - See Rashford
12. Chris Smalling - Shit No.2 defender - get rid
13. Lee Grant - Don't know enough to judge
14. Jesse Lingard - What position is he anyway - get rid
