And were losing at half time! At 1-0, we should've had a penalty and Maguire should've been sent off.

The way the narrative went after the match, if you hadn't seen it, you could've been forgiven for thinking we played against Brazil 1970 in that first 45 minutes.

Correct, and the reason they were still in it was down to the ref adopting "keep rags in it" mode after we scored early.

How else could he come to the decision in the Phil/magliar incident to give a free kick to them.

What was Phils motivation to foul magliar??? nothing, and magliars motivation to stop Phil getting to the ball was obvious, any ref being honest with himself would know this.

If he rightfully gives that pen and we score, its game over halfway through the first half.

Tells you all you need to know about olivar and his loyalties, we cant have all the subscribers switching off at half time can we.

We regularly have to play through this "keeping the opposition in the game" and only when we are two or three up does the ref relent and we start to get 50/50 decisions.

How many games when we are winning by just one goal does the ref invite our opponents to lob the ball into our box by giving them free kick after free kick at every opportunity.

I believe this is one of the reasons that we never hear the last of it when one "goes our way".

Thankfully we were so superior yesterday that all of pigmols minions together couldnt have saved them.

They had a 20 minute spell that wasn't as embarrassing as the other 70 and it's being lauded as a masterclass.
Turd polishing at it's finest this 20 minute trophy win.

Yep, after they equalised they did not have another shot on target and they only had one shot off target. Ederson punched away a corner in the first half and that was it.

Pure fucking arrogance got them into this position. You look at Ferguson's mocking noisy neighbours and not in my lifetime comments, that sums them up. They had been at the top for so long, aided by officials and the arse licking media they couldn't see the earthquake rumbling right under their feet and noses. Fuck them, a vile horrible rancid club.

And not forgetting the lovable Bobby Charlton in 2014:

Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton has guaranteed supporters the club will finish above rivals Manchester City next season.

City are on course to win the Premier League title, while United have endured a tough campaign and sacked David Moyes as manager in April.
But Charlton, a director at United, says it will be different in 2014-15.

"Next year I guarantee that we will be number one in Manchester. We like to be first and we will be first," he said.

Just looked at their last ten games of the season ouch :-)
Other than Norwich and Brentford home their run in is solid.
Tarquins must take Top Four.

Their next game is against Spurs at Old Trafford on Saturday. No doubt Spurs won't turn up but if they do, and get 3 points, then they'll be a point ahead with two games in hand. And Arsenal could be 4 points ahead with 3 games in hand. Wolves could also overtake them.

Even Mike Riley will struggle to get them top four if that happens.

Some rumours Ronaldo might have chucked his toys and quit.

Can't see it, but we are talking about a gold-plated princess here.

Nothing on Red Cafe yet, although it was down a few minutes ago.

I notice Rashford isn't active with his social campaigning at the moment. Is this because hunger has been eradicated, or on its way to being eradicated, or because the United media machine aren't comfortable promoting him or any of their players right now?

I said to Mrs Vienna yesterday, all he does is run into blind alleys.

He didn’t look for a teammate to pass to, then he was closed down by two or three City players, and lost the ball. Not just once, but on at least two occasions not long after he came on.

Reminds me of Darren Huckerby
 
Really can’t explain how fucked they are

relying on a scouting department that identified Bissaka and Maguire as being able to play a high line

a board who decided on a “interim manager” with zero man management skills and tactically obsessed with a high press system of 4-2-2-2that they simply don’t have the players for.

When Fergie left they thought they could carry on his antiquated club model with a Moyes appointment, after that failed, they’ve panicced and gone for some PSG/Madrid big name player type model when they should have been looking at Bayern/Juve of hoovering up the best Domestic players
