And that is the biggest problem. Forget pr37 and the rest, the stadium is decrepit, Carrington is just about 1990s standard and the academy has not moved on since it was set up. Not even ex rags send their kids to the academy. (Don't forget they don't even feed them :-)

The glazers missed out on buying a ipl cricket team wonder why they going into ipl? Glazer don’t use there own money either so must of got loans or a backer!

Wonder if our owner would buy into a cricket franchise?

They are getting used to the rags being beaten by cricket scores so why not.

True. I saw one academy graduate the other day who was so hungry he had to munch on someone's toenails just to get a decent meal.

I mentioned it earlier, one of them was using his business to bid for it. There is a lot of money in Indian cricket. You mention our owner, why would he buy into the IPL, everything we do is interconnected, feeder clubs etc. The glazers have no interest in the rags just the money.
 
Hopefully this lot are almost as off the pace as Newcastle, they need players galore now , half the team is in their late thirties or older , they’re going to have big problems attracting the right manager and future game winning players.
The fans have been deluded for years , reality must now be sinking in .
The problem is the sense of entitlement,lower your expectations reds!

We owe them a tonking. They’ve been getting some right lucky results against us over the last few years. We’ve been better that them since Wembley 2011 and I can’t remember a derby since then when we weren’t the better team, whatever the result.

The only one I can remember is the 4-2 loss at the swamp in 2015. We were pretty abject that day, I seem to recall.

However, as you say we have been easily superior to them since 2011.
 
Sky presenter just said 'Ole has always been brilliant throughout his career at turning around bad periods, so how does he do it this time?'. I presume they are referring to the time he kept Cardiff up, or maybe the semi finals and finals hes flopped in, or maybe title pushes he given united when they've fallen away season after season.

Clearly they are right though, he is a seasoned winner and shows season after season wherever he goes that he knows how to get the best out of his modestly assembled squad.

Of course, no-one in their right mind is gonna want that job anyway, especially when it’s clear that any new manager needs to possess the knowledge, tactics and personality of the GPC.

I'll vote for you mate. I don't doubt that you could at least match the current incumbent by way of performance. Having said that I would rather hope that you would deliberately do a worse job.

That one sprung to mine to me. Like all bad defeats I never watched it back but in my memory it was one of those games where they scored with every half chance and we missed them all. We weren’t good but I really don’t remember them being any better to be honest. I remember it being a bit like that 3-0 at Anfield in the champions league where one bad spell cost us the game.

In the 2018 home derby we were comfortably 2-0 up at HT and should have been 4 or 5 up. However, rags battered us 2nd half and Pogba has not played better for them since he scored 2 goals that day, and i think he also had an assist iirc.

Time we gave them a good thrashing whether the Norwegian gargoyle is still boss or not.

Cos the whole place is stuck in a time-warp

Indeed it is! Not another club comes anywhere near their 'stuckness'! The DT this morning is asking if MANUre have the 'chutzpah' to get rid of Bambi. We all know that MANUre would have got rid of Ferguson and even Busby if it would have delivered another throw in, free kick, penalty, goal or point! Ole is doomed. The managerial position at The Swamp is and has been for some time a poisoned chalice.
