United thread 2020/21

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I don’t normally read United articles but a Gary Neville special popped up this morning dissecting United’s lack of activity in the transfer market in the wake of the palace defeat, so I thought I’d see what the **** has to say for himself. At no point did he blame his mate Ole. It was all Woodward’s fault and the players fault. You really don’t get a balanced argument with this twat and not one of these ex United pundits will ever have a go at the manager.
It was only 12 months ago he was telling us we missed out on maguire and now he’s saying they need to sign a new centre half ffs as he’s not mobile enough!! You really couldn’t make it up but he’s obviously seen as some sort of God like figure at Sky.

Didn't the Dog Botherer have a dig at him recently?

Apparently a new central defender is not seen as a priority. Bold choice, given their current options

Isn't Smallthing back to lead them to glory?

He can’t be any worse than Lindelof, but I bet he’ll give it a bloody good try

Thank god we don't have our ex players constantly in the media bashing the club. Every club's fans moan about their club but usually the public voices are rightly more reserved. I'm not sure if Gary Neville realizes but he is one of the reasons they are unable to make the step forward. Club legend constantly bashing players as not good enough, what are the players and fans then supposed to think? Just read he said they are never winning a title with their CBs, why would you say that. Our best season was with Otamendi and Stones at CBs for god's sake.

But carry on Gary, we appreciate your sabotaging.

when on earth would you be on red cafe when city are playing? That’s truly ridiculous

Had an argument on the matchday thread tonight Lol.... anyway I was on red cafe later and they have started a Top 4 discussion thread. Amazingly the 1st post makes sense so through gritted teeth let us acknoweldge a fair post, here it is:

"Time to start this i guess. So, lets meet contenders;

Liverpool. Champions with world class manager. Stronger than last year with Thiago and Jota.
Nailed in top 4. They will finish 1-2.

City. They want title back. Lost Sane but bought 2 players and will buy more i guess. World class manager and excellent squad. Nailed in top 4. They will finish 1-2. I think that they will win it.

Chelsea. Amazing transfer window. They have 2 players for every position. But they are shaky in defence. Manager showed that he has talent but lets see how he will work with result pressure.
Too strong too miss top 4 (if they start losing, Roman will hire top manager) but not good enough yet to challenge for title. Nailed for top 4. They will finish 3rd.

Spurs. Mourinho's second season. Very good squad, pretty good transfer window and without CL games this season. Strong contender for top 4. My opinion is that they will finish 4th. (unless Jose goes crazy).

Wolves. Solid team with solid manager. Will try to catch top 4 but need amazing season for that. My prediction 7th-9th.

Arsenal. Good squad but with only one top player. They look good though with Arteta. My prediction 4-5.

Everton. World class manager and decent squad. But Carlo is making them better than they are. Still not good enough for top 4. My prediction 6th-8th.

Leicester. Solid team with good manager. Very strong as a unit without top players. My prediction 7th-8th

United. No comment to avoid unnecessary discussion. But i don't think that we have any chance for top 4 in current condition."

P.S. Does anyone know why they aren't accepting new registrations on there at present? I used to like to go on and cause mischief, but after getting banned for a 7th time I gave up, however, I have a new work e-mail now so wanted to go again, especially if we have another lockdown!

Evra slams Manchester United over approach to recruiting players

Former Manchester United full-back Patrice Evra says the club's difficulties in the transfer market are the result of lawyers and not football people handling the negotiations. United, who lost their Premier League opener 3-1 at home to Crystal Palace on Saturday, have been linked with Borussia...

Well said with one slight tweek...........

Utd's excuse for their wretched opener was fitness and yet a City squad without even one pre-season friendly and without a number of key players savaged Wolves.
