United Thread - 2021/22

[jrb]

United are in discussions with the ex-band members of ‘One Direction’. United want the band to reform, and Ole to be the lead singer.

1 - what an enjoyable watch that was :-)
2 - to be fair to might as well be Celtic, he's actually closer to cracking it than any of the pundits (Souness aside).........

Jadon Sancho. Was a great young player and had he stayed I believe he would have been one of the best. He insisted on playing more so went to Dortmund to play in a tin pot league. Seeing him yesterday he was a mere shadow of his previous self when he played in the EDS and he could have been playing alongside our Phil. Went to Dortmund to play more and now he sits on the bench at the raggies. Yes I know he gets paid £300k a week to do so but I just can’t help but feel sorry that such a talent has been wasted. Poorly advised at a young age. I wonder what he thinks watching our Phil?

Never, ever feel sorry for a rag.

Any rag.

Surely that would be No Direction!

The ex United contingent scrambling not to admit Ole is incompetent was funny at first and as much as its helping the save Ole cause its getting annoying now. Why is there this new moral issue in the media circles with not wanting to say managers should be sacked yet they're perfectly fine with singling out footballers as not good enough? There's zero difference in calling out Fred every single week even when it's not directly his fault but they won't say a manager isn't good enough.

United played FIVE at the back and TWO defensive midfielders against a City side with NO recognised striker playing in that role.

They managed 36% possession and a couple of shots.


Let that sink in boys....and make Monday at work unbeatable.

Where the fuck did they get 36% possession?

Did they give the possession to the rags every time the ball was out of play?

If they had quoted the rags having 20% possession, I’d still have been surprised!

36%, someone’s on the wind up!

I keep seeing on the Caff - on the Telly and hearing on the radio about Zidane and other top managers being "installed" at rag central - why would any of them want to? They have OGS coz he is pliable - will do as he is told - and have players gifted to him with no thought of any type of system. ZZ wouldn't have that.

I am willing to bet Levy has ceded far more control over Tottenham to Conte than he is comfortable with but expecting Conte to do as he is told saw them end up making an expensive mistake with their 7th choice for a manager - the Glazers just wouldn't do that

the ref let them have the ball in their dressing room for all of half time?

If they after Brendon they’ll have to pay Leicester a lot of money because am sure when he signed his new contract there was a buy out of around 30m

McAtee be warned.
