Some rumours Ronaldo might have chucked his toys and quit.

Can't see it, but we are talking about a gold-plated princess here.

He’ll be back for their CL game.

Hope he’s dropped for that too and there’s a PR37 cam of him on the bench.

They had a 20 minute spell that wasn't as embarrassing as the other 70 and it's being lauded as a masterclass.
Turd polishing at it's finest this 20 minute trophy win.

Yep, after they equalised they did not have another shot on target and they only had one shot off target. Ederson punched away a corner in the first half and that was it.

Pure fucking arrogance got them into this position. You look at Ferguson's mocking noisy neighbours and not in my lifetime comments, that sums them up. They had been at the top for so long, aided by officials and the arse licking media they couldn't see the earthquake rumbling right under their feet and noses. Fuck them, a vile horrible rancid club.

And not forgetting the lovable Bobby Charlton in 2014:

Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton has guaranteed supporters the club will finish above rivals Manchester City next season.

City are on course to win the Premier League title, while United have endured a tough campaign and sacked David Moyes as manager in April.
But Charlton, a director at United, says it will be different in 2014-15.

"Next year I guarantee that we will be number one in Manchester. We like to be first and we will be first," he said.

Just looked at their last ten games of the season ouch :-)
Other than Norwich and Brentford home their run in is solid.
Tarquins must take Top Four.

Their next game is against Spurs at Old Trafford on Saturday. No doubt Spurs won't turn up but if they do, and get 3 points, then they'll be a point ahead with two games in hand. And Arsenal could be 4 points ahead with 3 games in hand. Wolves could also overtake them.

Even Mike Riley will struggle to get them top four if that happens.

Nothing on Red Cafe yet, although it was down a few minutes ago.

I notice Rashford isn't active with his social campaigning at the moment. Is this because hunger has been eradicated, or on its way to being eradicated, or because the United media machine aren't comfortable promoting him or any of their players right now?

I said to Mrs Vienna yesterday, all he does is run into blind alleys.

He didn’t look for a teammate to pass to, then he was closed down by two or three City players, and lost the ball. Not just once, but on at least two occasions not long after he came on.

Reminds me of Darren Huckerby

Really can’t explain how fucked they are

relying on a scouting department that identified Bissaka and Maguire as being able to play a high line

a board who decided on a “interim manager” with zero man management skills and tactically obsessed with a high press system of 4-2-2-2that they simply don’t have the players for.

When Fergie left they thought they could carry on his antiquated club model with a Moyes appointment, after that failed, they’ve panicced and gone for some PSG/Madrid big name player type model when they should have been looking at Bayern/Juve of hoovering up the best Domestic players
