    United Thread - 2023/24

    If you were Scruffy Jim watching that FA Cup final and you've changed your mind on flicking Ten Hag, what was it you saw to persuade you that he's the man to challenge for the title? They sat back, defended with 10 men and hit us on the break - exactly the same tactic that Solskjaer used when he...

    Kalvin Phillips

    As much as people don't like Moyes, he's done a VERY good job at West Ham and he's turned some of their players like Bowen and Paqueta into very good players. Moyes has done this at Everton - turned raw players into decent ones. Phillips has managed to learn fuck all from Pep, the greatest...

    Is it time for a mini-rebuild?

    Nope. Not all of them will go, but we need to look at some of the players this year that have either underperformed for various reasons, got too injury prone etc. If we'd had the same quality of squad as last season, we would've won another Treble I'm sure of that.

    Is it time for a mini-rebuild?

    The key question to all this is what happens with Pep's contract. If he doesn't want to carry on, it makes recruitment more difficult as players won't be as keen to sign for a club if they aren't sure who the new boss is. My own personal feeling is that the team this season is weaker than it...

    Pep's contract situation | 2 year extension confirmed! (pg1817)

    That won't be happening mate :) To be honest, Scruffy Jim won't be able to afford to sack Ten Hag so he will be lucky to get Southgate anyway! :)

    Do you care about being considered a 'big' team?

    This 'big club' nonsense is absolute garbage. Let me guess, the clubs who won stuff before I was born are counting those trophies as 'enormous' ones. I think there's something like one decade - the 90s - where we didn't either win the League, FA Cup, League Cup, European Trophy or appear in a...

    Pep's contract situation | 2 year extension confirmed! (pg1817)

    I can imagine that the stress and pressure must be absolutely incredible and there must be a real risk of burnout with any top manager, let alone someone with the standards that Pep sets. Unless I'm missing something, there's no other club side that would be set up to back him totally and...

    The Album Review Club - Week #146 - (page 1935) - Ocean Rain - Echo and the Bunnymen

    I've never heard of this band before and I wasn't too sure what to expect. The opening track was brilliant, right up my street. Really nice vibe to it and instantly catchy. Whilst the other tracks didn't hit the heights of the first the whole album was very good. I've only managed one listen...

    FA Cup Final - Post Game thread

    I honestly don't know what to make of that yesterday. The only highlight I can think of it that I didn't spend a small fortune on tickets, travelling down, hotel for the night, food, bear, programme etc. Look, I know the 4 titles has never been done before and I'm a massive Pep fan but that...

    United (N) - Sat 25th May | 2024 FA Cup Final | Pre-Match Thread

    We are going to hammer this lot. We have hit form at just the right time and we look unstoppable at the minute. If we'd had beaten Real we'd have won another Treble this year we're that good. United fans know what's coming. The players don't rate Ten Haag and he knows he's either getting...

    The Album Review Club - Week #146 - (page 1935) - Ocean Rain - Echo and the Bunnymen

    Apologies to everyone who's albums I've missed - works been absolutely crazy this week and I'll try to give this album a listen in the next few days.

    The Album Review Club - Week #146 - (page 1935) - Ocean Rain - Echo and the Bunnymen

    When I first listened to the album I was quite surprised it was released in 1982 as I think it sounds very "modern" compared to it's contemporaries. The production is key of course and it's definitely going to split people on it. Personally I really enjoyed it although I'm not a fan of his...

    Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

    Yeah, I know what you mean but I just think it should've been looked at. There was definitely some contact and if it was (say) Haaland going down I'd think the ref had made an error :) I hate VAR, I think it's killing football.

    The Title Race - 2023/24

    The pressure is absolutely on Arsenal now - they are top of the league and we're winning. We're not just winning, we're in full flow now and starting to blast teams away. They know that GD is going to start to come down and we just look very, very comfortable. If it's not KdB running the show...

    Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

    Glad we god that decision in our favour obviously, but how on earth VAR decide it's not worth taking a look at is beyond me. It was a penalty for me, but at least it should be looked at by the ref surely? I've even seen the one on Ake given. This is the problem with it - rules just seem to...

    Brighton PL (A) | Man of the Match

    Foden was class - he really is in the same class as KdB. Everything he did just oozed class and he's one of the reason we're going to win the league AGAIN!

    The Title Race - 2023/24

    I'm not sure mate, I think United have shown they like to spoil the party. They have enough players to give them a tough game. They've done it to Liverpool twice recently - it's as if they prefer the big games to 'small' ones. Everton will be up for spoiling the party too - Dyche is plenty...

    The Title Race - 2023/24

    Arsenal have got... Spurs away (draw) Bournemouth home (win) United away (draw) Everton home (win) I've just ordered a couple more bottles of Bollinger and made a bit more room in the fridge for when they come :)

    The Title Race - 2023/24

    I've said for many weeks that towards the end of the season you get some crackers results. Throw in a Derby and you can get results like this. Liverpool have gone though, there's no way us and Arsenal will crack. I expected Liverpool to really push on for Klopp's last season but it looks like...

    FA Cup Final 2024 | Manchester Derby | Sat 25 May 3:00pm

    The run they've had to the final, they shouldn't be there - they've had every break going and every single piece of luck in their favour. Liverpool's forwards missing chances I could finish, Coventry offside, bad penalties, disallowed goals etc etc. We are easily the favourites and should win...
