How he fuck did Macauley Culkin go back in time to watch the game?

Cos the whole place is stuck in a time-warp

Sky presenter just said 'Ole has always been brilliant throughout his career at turning around bad periods, so how does he do it this time?'. I presume they are referring to the time he kept Cardiff up, or maybe the semi finals and finals hes flopped in, or maybe title pushes he given united when they've fallen away season after season.

Clearly they are right though, he is a seasoned winner and shows season after season wherever he goes that he knows how to get the best out of his modestly assembled squad.

Arsenal's Edu trolling Scholes. Good shit

Quite right get with glazers expectations 4th is fine.

Ergh 16th for me

I'd prefer 20th but as a second option the Euro Conference thingy would be funny as fuck, they'd be travelling all over the place playing teams like this.

So would I but it’s the glazers standard is 4th

That’s why I’m getting the word out early ;)
Of course, no-one in their right mind is gonna want that job anyway, especially when it’s clear that any new manager needs to possess the knowledge, tactics and personality of the GPC.

I'll vote for you mate. I don't doubt that you could at least match the current incumbent by way of performance. Having said that I would rather hope that you would deliberately do a worse job.

The only one I can remember is the 4-2 loss at the swamp in 2015. We were pretty abject that day, I seem to recall.

However, as you say we have been easily superior to them since 2011.

That one sprung to mine to me. Like all bad defeats I never watched it back but in my memory it was one of those games where they scored with every half chance and we missed them all. We weren’t good but I really don’t remember them being any better to be honest. I remember it being a bit like that 3-0 at Anfield in the champions league where one bad spell cost us the game.

In the 2018 home derby we were comfortably 2-0 up at HT and should have been 4 or 5 up. However, rags battered us 2nd half and Pogba has not played better for them since he scored 2 goals that day, and i think he also had an assist iirc.

Time we gave them a good thrashing whether the Norwegian gargoyle is still boss or not.

Indeed it is! Not another club comes anywhere near their 'stuckness'! The DT this morning is asking if MANUre have the 'chutzpah' to get rid of Bambi. We all know that MANUre would have got rid of Ferguson and even Busby if it would have delivered another throw in, free kick, penalty, goal or point! Ole is doomed. The managerial position at The Swamp is and has been for some time a poisoned chalice.
