I met a girl, Liz, who worked as a Croupier at Soames Casino in my early 20’s on a night out with mutual friend’s. As the drink flowed I got a little braver and asked her out, she said, “you’re a nice guy but you remind me of someone, I’ll have to say no” I was gutted because we were getting on really well.

At the end of the evening I plucked up the courage to ask who I reminded her of, “Ronnie Corbett” fuck me my confidence hit rock bottom. I’m nothing like Ronnie, btw, does being 5ft 6” and wearing glasses qualify me? :-)

Excuses.

People need to stop the excuses, take the blue tinted specs off and realise that there is very little now between the two teams again...we have dropped a level and they have stepped up a level.
The arguement around the Rasford offside blinded people to the fact that for big parts of that game they were as close to us as they have been in over a decade and there was very little difference......people can argue about style of play etc but in the end all that matters is the result

They parked the bus like they do for most there games! Difference is Ten Bob and Casemiro signing . That one corrupt decision kept them close to us! Winning brings confidence! Let’s see where they finish and let’s wait till they start winning leagues before we say they are back because we all know anyone can win a cup..

Styles are irrelevant so parking the bus doesn't come into it....that style also works against us as has been proved.
Them winning a cup has nothing to do with it...watch them play...they are vastly improved.

Newcastle and Spurs might disagree with you

Honestly how do they manage to acquire and produce such consistently unlikeable players.

Garnacho being the latest one, every sports page I click on today has a picture of him preening, pouting and gurning whilst celebrating what he seems to have decided was the greatest goal ever scored.

They're just not capable of any kind of modesty and humility, or just simply playing with a smile on their faces, even when they're winning (or being gifted wins to be more aaccurate) they still have to act like a bunch of sneering aggressive coked up roid heads.

In a word, Cu*ts.

Forget how many teams are left, that’s irrelevant, the odds are will they be at home or away, a 1 in 2 chance, this season, 2x2x2x2x2x2x2 = 1 in 128 chance or 127/1.

I think your mathematics are incorrect, multiply .5 by .5 11 times and you get .0000488, which would mean that the odds of getting 11 consecutive home draws is over 2000 to 1

I was calculating on this season’s cup games of 7 home draws if you check my post.

Taking into account the 4 previous home draws (not this season) it’s 1 in 2048, or 2047/1.

They ain’t better than Liverpool at there best where we have dominate the domestic trophies ! Them being back eventually was always going to happen because throw enough money at it keep changing managers you going go he got right sooner or later! Back as I truly back what does that look like?

Perhaps you should take your own advice and watch them for a full 90 minutes rather than the 2 minute youtube highlight clips which manage to cram in virtually all of their attacking play in any one game.

Every full game of their's I've endured sitting through this season they look just as limited in technical ability and ambition to play attractive, expansive football as they did under Mourinho or Solskjaer.

In every game the opposition have looked the better team, with more possession and attempting to play more attractive football with more attacking intent but have been unable to create or finish many clear goal scoring opportunities, mostly due to united parking the bus but also not helped by an infuriating lack of finishing ability which most teams and individuals players suddenly seem to develop when facing united.

They really are still park the bus hoofball merchants, which unfortunately can be an effective tactic, especially as many teams attempt to play decent, open football against them and get caught out and suckered punched being hit with a goal on the break, we need teams to start deploying the same style of defensive, negative, anti-football tactics against them.

At the end of the night did she say”that’s all we’ve got time for so it’s good night from me”
