Not a bad bet that. How the hell they are as high in the table as they are I have no idea. Losing Rashford for an extended period could see them plummet to a more deserving position.

I hope they sack Ole and give the job to Alan Pardew because no other fucker will take it on. Twats

Take comfort in the fact that although they are currently 6 points off Chelsea for the 4th CL place they're also 4 points off 14th.
 
The rags can come back when they’ve been beat at York, Lincoln and Wycombe away and your local derbies against bury and Oldham end in defeat

Just looking back at our darkest days and thinking what was the low point in terms of a home defeat.

In 98/99 we started ok, lost the first away game at Fulham but didnt lose again until Preston at home mid October. We then lost 3 of the next 4 the last being Reading at home 0-1 on the 24th October. At that point we had played 15, W5 D6 L4. We won the next 2 and then went on a 5 game streak of losses and draws ending with the infamous York away defeat and our lowest ever league position. But no home defeats beyond that Reading loss up to the York game. 2x home nil nils to Gillingham and Bristol Rovers in that little run.

We kicked on from York away and were unbeaten for 12 games in a row. We did lose again at home that season but we had clearly turned a corner and looking comfortably like we would get in the play offs.

A special mention to Wrexham away (boxing day 1998), the game after York away, we won that one but that was equally our low point up until the 1 nil victory was in the bag.
 
There is a very different dynamic that people are failing to appreciate, which is why I believe United will be in the wilderness until they stumble on a manager who basically has a modicum of tactical intelligence and knows where the club's place now is in the pecking order of things.

United have always had money, what they can't do now is bring that pressure to the table and force domestic rivals to sell to them, they don't need the money anymore.

There's overpaying, and then there is being fleeced beyond all financial acumen, coupled with the fact that top players can earn big money, elsewhere, at clubs who are actually competing for the biggest honours.

United are fucked. Even if they were bought by the Saudis or Jeff fucking Bezos, they are unable to drive commercial revenues any higher when results on the pitch are not there.

It's a catch 22, they need to invest to get proper players, yet they can't afford to because of FFP and their massive wage bill.

Liverpool have spent over £1bn and 30 years to get into this position again, breaking transfer records for the likes of Andy Carroll and Stan Collymore in the process.

They are actually victims of those class of 92 wankers. It ain't coming around again.
