Nope, never ever. The only acceptable result is a draw with 3 players from each side getting sent off for a mass brawl.

I know Misty. It’s with a very heavy heart indeed :-) maybe I hadn’t thought that one through :-)

Hope they drop points in the PL, dont give two fucks about what they do in the Europa and I am pretty sure we will smash them in the FA cup.
Just hope the dippers get one on them on Sunday.

 

[Grassland Blue]

So the rags win a minor trophy and "They're back!"
I just hope it's an upward blip on their way down to mid table obscurity.
A quad on the cards eh?
Does that include Greensleeves love child?

 

[paulchapo]

Although they are undoubtedly looking a better team these days they have won trophies since the old bully retired and slipped backwards again. Once under Mourhino I think they won two. Here's hoping they keep on trend.

Agreed GB.
Their current cycle seems to be
* win a few matches by narrow margins courtesy Pigmol/VAR
* fans and press get giddy
* return to normal set of results including a spanking at Brentford, Palace or Brighton
* zebra pants and green gold scarves * splash the cash and hope
* Operation Pigmol.

Last Sunday being the outlier in a given period.

Manchester United and Crystal Palace have each been fined £55,000 for failing to control their players in the Premier League game at Old Trafford this month

Isn’t this the 3rd time this season they have been fined for their behaviour yet all the fines, and repeated offences, are less than what we got fined v Arsenal.

but was third man to ref booked

Anyone ignoring utd is a fool. They have a good manager unfortunately, some good players, and the media snowball effect behind them. They'll be fighting us next year, more so than lfc anyway.

They won't be fighting fairly.

As much as it pains me to say this since the Brentford loss the Rags have picked up 2 less points than Arsenal, and the same as us, mind you we have played one more match than the scum.

Call me a fool then
When the dippers were challenging us they were playing well, dominating teams and relentless (much as o hate them)
United are better than they were but they are miles off
They had the easiest league cup run I’ve seen, All at home for a start and Same in FA cup
They need a forward, 2 midfielders and 2 full backs for a start
Now if they get Qatar and buy Kane, rice and bellingham in the summer ….. maybe
Until then I’ll put it down to others dropping off

Am I the only one that thinks Declan Rice is over-rated? He's slow, cumbersome with the turning circle of a Maguire.

Perfect would be u smash them in the FA cup final, we smash them in the Europa final and Liverpool smash them at Anfield. We're unfortunate the other teams are playing badly or Utd wouldnt even be in the top 4.

I feel your pain , there are more Rags around you than there are in Manchester , we hardly see or hear from them up here , you have my sympathies

And on the BBC's football site, when Chris Sutton takes on a special guest to predict the results, the guests are nearly always rag fans.

I clearly gave Moyes too much respect and credit earlier......the Rag sycophant is apparently playing his reserves.

I know we did it one year at Chelsea with the CL game being very close(understandable) and sometimes go a little light but imagine travelling all over the place with almost no chance of ever winning anything and your one chance of a cup visit to Wembley comes around maybe every 4-5 years and your manager shits the bed.

6K fans are coming up tonight.....fucking shameful if he plays the stiffs.

Big fuck you to the fans that. Last 16 of a competition. Playing a team that just played a gruelling final on Sunday.
