It's very strange. They've moved a lot of so called troublemakers out, how many more are left? They have become what they accused us of, a team of mercenaries only interested in number one and not the team. It's wonderful to witness.

I think one of the selling points used by the rags when hiring new players is the extensive and positive media/social media coverage and global profile that rag players typically receive, together with what you could generously describe as "sympathetic treatment" by the match officials and wider football authorities. As a consequence, this means that they continue to attract the self-entitled, narcissistic, man-child personality players, the living embodiment of which is their current captain Fernandes.

What they need is team that has a Fernie, Vincent, Andy M type backbone.

What they have is a rat-faced wanker and many more like him.

So sad!

Liew is so insecure, having to resort to garrulous and dense prose to hide his lack of understanding. Have you seen some of the bile he's written about City? One hack to definitely avoid at all costs.

I notice in that aricle Liew said United played well in spells against Fulham and Arsenal. That was the laughable media narrative. But the pattern was set in those matches for last night's result. The United players ran up and down the field like headless chickens lumping the ball into the box at every opportunity in all three matches. Last night they again looked like a lower-league team resorting to long punts and throw-ins towards Maguire. Most of their team can't control a ball or play a first time pass so they are always being closed down. Fernandez is their best technical player but he is bone idle.

Fantastic article this

Grimsby deepen ridicule for Ruben Amorim as he ploughs on with flawed, final stand | Jonathan Liew

Carabao Cup humiliation is the latest setback for a coach who may actually be the last real thing at Manchester United

www.theguardian.com

The point of the article is - unfortunately as usual, Liew is shoved way too far up his own arse to construct something relatable, not dripping with his own self-appointed importance and intellect..................

Amorim continues to pick sub-standard players so he can't be that good. And the pundits keep repeating that they have a strong squad. Apparently Mainoo is "a generational talent" and Amad is not actually a headless chicken but a "fantastic young player." They bought Amad for £20m after he had loan spells at Rangers, and Sunderland. He is aged 23 and has scored nine goals from 40 appearances at United. So he's more shite than "fantastic." The delusion about their players is relentless.

I’ve mentioned to a United fan for a year now that their midfield is completely useless. Mainoo is of the Rashford mould - one good game and an entire lifetime of adulation, England call ups and ass smoke blowing. Partnered with Casemiro or Fernandes and they just ball watch, the game flows past them/over them.
Fernandes is stat padded by his penalties, when he arrive he was surrounded by decent players , now he’s surrounded by mediocrity and reverts to his default (and United’s) mode of whinging to the ref and diving.

The only decent midfielder they had was Erickson- but his legs were gone, so the same thing happened.

Their attack wasn’t supported by the midfield, it lived on scraps from the defenders, chucking 200m at the problem isn’t going to solve that disconnect.

Their defence wasn’t supported by the midfield, leading to calamity onana situations as the defense buckles from overloads and midfield mistakes.

They spent money on the wrong positions, again.

My youngest was misbehaving last night refusing to go sleep for mum,
I brought her down stairs,made her watch the rags,she was begging me to take her back upstairs.
That'll teach her.

I spoke to a Spurs fan today, who actually said that you have to feel sorry for the rags. I told him I would never feel sorry for them.

He also wouldn’t have it that their popularity is due to the Munich air disaster, and was waxing lyrical about Sir Backheel and the liver thief.

If it's a united jigsaw it'll fall to pieces in the box.

Very good.

Wow,Slimey Stone getting hammered on bbc match report comments.

I thought it was hilarious and well-written. I'm unfamiliar with Liew's other work, though

I want us to eviscerate them on the 14th.

The Grand Humiliation, torn asunder, leaving them broken and beaten on the side of the road.

But will we? NO! We'll do the same terrified, cautious performance, hope to win it 1-0 only to get stuffed towards the end through dodgy VAR decisions, instead of destroying them 4-0 by half time.

Once again we're going to be the catalyst to the 'start' of their season, like we keep doing and it pisses me off! I know they're crap, we all know they're crap and on paper this should be a horror show. But our tactics against these fucks recently keeps giving them a way back. Their head is on the chopping block and we're gonna swing and miss! Don't do it City!

I adore your use of the word "eviscerate" there.

You are right of course, we should end them physically, psychologically, and spirituality on the 14th.

I just hope Pep isn't holding onto to some silly nostalgic or romantic notion that they're still a going concern within footballing circles.

Why has nobody asked why the United keeper was not cautioned (or worse) for clattering into the Grimsby striker when they scored their second goal. He was nowhere near the ball and could have badly injured the player.

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

I thought when he got the printer and held it up against the back of the chair so he could punch it … “Is this an act?”

Of course it is. Mind you if we’d heard from his wife/mother/partner /carer complaining about the noise again, that would have been funny.

Missed one out

For all that pep has done for us,the one thing that annoys me,he keeps bigging these chancers up and in some instances it for me has materialised on the pitch with some of our performances against them down the years,one thing that Mancini had was he’d be putting his foot on their throat and keeping it there ..
