Styles are irrelevant so parking the bus doesn't come into it....that style also works against us as has been proved.
Them winning a cup has nothing to do with it...watch them play...they are vastly improved.

They have improved without a doubt, the bastards

What is it they say about monkeys, typewriters and Shakespeare? The amout of cash thrown at them they would eventually improve.

Forget how many teams are left, that’s irrelevant, the odds are will they be at home or away, a 1 in 2 chance, this season, 2x2x2x2x2x2x2 = 1 in 128 chance or 127/1.

I think your mathematics are incorrect, multiply .5 by .5 11 times and you get .0000488, which would mean that the odds of getting 11 consecutive home draws is over 2000 to 1

I was calculating on this season’s cup games of 7 home draws if you check my post.

Taking into account the 4 previous home draws (not this season) it’s 1 in 2048, or 2047/1.

They ain’t better than Liverpool at there best where we have dominate the domestic trophies ! Them being back eventually was always going to happen because throw enough money at it keep changing managers you going go he got right sooner or later! Back as I truly back what does that look like?

Perhaps you should take your own advice and watch them for a full 90 minutes rather than the 2 minute youtube highlight clips which manage to cram in virtually all of their attacking play in any one game.

Every full game of their's I've endured sitting through this season they look just as limited in technical ability and ambition to play attractive, expansive football as they did under Mourinho or Solskjaer.

In every game the opposition have looked the better team, with more possession and attempting to play more attractive football with more attacking intent but have been unable to create or finish many clear goal scoring opportunities, mostly due to united parking the bus but also not helped by an infuriating lack of finishing ability which most teams and individuals players suddenly seem to develop when facing united.

They really are still park the bus hoofball merchants, which unfortunately can be an effective tactic, especially as many teams attempt to play decent, open football against them and get caught out and suckered punched being hit with a goal on the break, we need teams to start deploying the same style of defensive, negative, anti-football tactics against them.

I met a girl, Liz, who worked as a Croupier at Soames Casino in my early 20’s on a night out with mutual friend’s. As the drink flowed I got a little braver and asked her out, she said, “you’re a nice guy but you remind me of someone, I’ll have to say no” I was gutted because we were getting on really well.

At the end of the evening I plucked up the courage to ask who I reminded her of, “Ronnie Corbett” fuck me my confidence hit rock bottom. I’m nothing like Ronnie, btw, does being 5ft 6” and wearing glasses qualify me? :-)

At the end of the night did she say”that’s all we’ve got time for so it’s good night from me”
