Isn't it just great to read United fans posting that they're “excited” about their team and what they saw when they've just lost their opening fixture — and at their own gaff?
They have plummeted a long, long way, and can now feed off the scraps of meagre consolations and tell themselves that it's a feast. This is the “balanced” point of view, the diet of dry bread and no butter, which the rags and Ferguson would have rejected during their dictatorship years. That's just the truth. I hate Keane, but he's not wrong when he says that you don't console yourself with “performance” after a result like that.
Imagine the outrage, the frothing and gnashing on here if we'd lost our opening fixture, at home (and that would be over the top, too).
Some of the giddier ones are talking about top six. It's not beyond the realms of possibility,but I would be very, very surprised. What these clubs like Tottenham and United fail to take account of is that there's a lot of money swilling around the PL these days. More than there used to be. People like Newcastle, Villa, Brighton, Forest now see themselves as serious top six contenders. Possibly even sneaking into fourth spot. And they've got a point. And that's without taking account of the juggernauts that we, Liverpool, Arsenal, maybe Chelsea are. Three of those four will tie down three of the top four positions.

They were cheering clearances yesterday. Bunch of fucking plebs.

Come on I know we never like saying anything good about the Scum, but Cunha and Mbuemo aren't bad players, and both players will improve them. If we didn't sign Marmoush in January, I'd have taken Cunha at City. Has more of an end product than Doku does, that's for sure. Just don't get how nobody else went for him, especially with shite like Madueke who signed for Arsenal for a similar price.

Doesn't he have a very poor disciplinary record?
Something you cannot afford in a top team.
Speaking to Wolves fans at the weekend, their view was we took their best player At Nouri.

We none of us are surprised at how the media are portraying their latest defeat. It was always going to be that way, the same as it has been for the past 40 years...NO NEGATIVE PRESS FOR THE RAGS!
Fine, if gutless hacks like Slimy Stone and a few others wish to outdo Goebells in the bullshit department, I say let them continue. If the tabloids in this country are happy to emulate Kim jong Un's 'Guide To Propaganda' then again, I'm okay with that. But the only people who read their partisan garbage and believe it to be Gospel are those with limited intelligence, gullible: believing what they want to believe - basically 65% of all rag fans.
But we are not all simple minded lemmings with the IQ of a half-consumed baguette, some of us know a badly performing football team when we see it, and furthermore we are not afraid to say so, either.
Neither the rags nor the gooners covered themselves in glory yesterday, in fact they were both awful. Two teams that wouldn't have looked out of place in the Championship despite the grotesque amount of money thrown at them - in particular Slimy's favourites, the rags. The dreadful long-ball tactics the two sides dished up for their respective fans yesterday was a slap in the face of the people who parted with their money to watch a Premier league game of football - and got nothing like it.
If the rag masses see nothing wrong with paying an obscene amount of money to watch their team play Sunday morning football, that's up to them. But for biased hacks like Slimy to try and paint a totally different picture for the rest of us - don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.

Do the Rags have a totally new generation of fans who can’t remember when they were good? That match was dire yesterday. United had no pattern of play. Just lump it wide for someone to hoof it into the penalty area. They will get destroyed by more rapid teams than Arsenal were yesterday.

This looks like surpassing arsenal's 2-2 title win at the beginning of last season in terms of bullshit and collective brainwashing.

The same pattern of Arsenal being too cautious, diving, time wasting. Arteta will never win the title. They were terrible against United. They look burned out.

Yeah quick diagonal hoof to the other wing was the same play by the rags all game tbf arsenal had it more worked out 2nd half they did it time and time again against us at their place last season. Really really disappointed in arsenal and their main strength defence looked very shaky.

They are morphing into their manager: nervy and over anxious all the time, more scared of losing than scoring more goals. I've been saying it for a long time but they will not win the Prem under Arteta, the man is neurotic and not up to the challenge mentally.
 
There are some strange posts in this thread that are taking the piss out of yesterday's performance.
To me it had all the hallmarks of the beginning of a title winning team.

All they need is a new keeper, (Donnaruma for 85 mill + 250k a week should do it) a couple of defenders, well maybe 3, two midfielders, a decent forward and a new manager who is capable of actually managing.
You watch then, this lot will fly.......

A bit like the pigs will do at the same time.

Maybe they can hire some new dinner ladies and then immediately sack them again as some kind of Chelsea-style PSR loophole.

No need for a PSR loophole. They say they are skint but spend 100 million plus. When questions are asked (not by the Premier League) they simply say everyone is looking at the wrong accounts. A company called RedBentBastards (perhaps not quite accurate but it will do) based in London are overflowing with money, those are the accounts, honest mister.

Great reaction from the media regarding their performance yesterday. If everyone is happy with them grinding out a plucky 0-1 defeat, I'm happy for them to tell us all how encouraging the Emperor looks in his new clothes.

Yep. I'll be rooting for the same headlines next game day.
