Which I don't see happening. With their poor goal difference they are effectively 12 point off 4th with 11 games to play. Also with them being 6th they need to outperform 2 teams to make it to 4th. Odds range from 16/1 to 20/1 for them to make the top 4.

Don't worry, Mr Webb will be rewriting some rules to crowbar the red mardarses into contention.
Watch out for dubious penalties and decisions the nearer the end of season gets.

When they were dominating in the 90s and 00s and we were flirting between mid table prem and yo-yoing from the championship, I don’t think the gap in quality was as big as it is now.

And as long as Pep is here and Onana is playing for them, that gap will get bigger.

They're 6th in the league.

At our worst we were in League One or not scoring a single goal after Christmas at home when back in the PL.
 
Is it just me or has anyone seen Onana actually catch a ball? And I'm sure 95% of his saves (parrys are more of an apt description) are what pundits would call saves for the cameras. Relatively easy saves made to look good by flinging yourself at them in an exaggerated manner. Overrated clown of a keeper.

He cut out plenty of crosses yesterday?
 
Luckily for everyone they are in huge trouble if they keep that manager. He’s delusional. That team/fan base full of absolute shit bags. 2-1 down in a derby 8 (!?) mins added time and they looked like they just wanted to keep the score down. They’ve got some fucking work to do there. C*nts

Weirdly, I actually thought he was their best player yesterday.

Cut out a number of crosses, and actually kept the score down with some half decent saves.

Not disputing that he's a bit suspect, but thought he was generally decent yesterday.
 
My nephew, forced into being a United fan by his arrogant father, (you know the type; saw them win everything in the 90's/2000's and firmly believes it's Utd's 'right' to win trophies) was incredibly angry last night, shouting "I HATE UNITED!"

It was bittersweet. I hate the fact the lad has been effectively coerced rather than being allowed to make his own decision, but to see the look on his Raggy dad's face as he saw his United supporting legacy crushed under the weight of criticism from his own son... yeah I had a quiet chuckle.
 
I don't think Onana is a great keeper, I don't even think he is a good keeper: he'd be okay in the Championship but I do not see him as being anywhere near good enough for the Premier League - which of course makes me happy.
But on the other hand he is not their weakest link, they've got way too many candidates for that particular position. So why did ten bob let him go for free to Inter when they were together at Ajax, and then convince the rags to pay £40 million for him a bit later?

It's this scattergun approach from the vermin that has made them a laughing stock in the footballing world, starting with the pisscan bringing the Portuguese Ponce back: the fucking old drunkard seriously believed we wanted him? What an insult to Pep. A washed-up, showboating transvestite with an ego as big as the solar system playing for someone like Pep?

Fucking SCUM!
