Only watched motd, but that could have been much worse, 2 goals disallowed, they're a pile of shite, it's wonderful to watch.

Nice to see Alfred Molina with a big smile after the game.

This could be Bruno the rat typing his excuses onto Instagram too.

Hilarious to watch Bournemouth boot it straight out for a goal kick from kick off so they could press them trying to play out from the back.

As soon as the 3PM kickoffs were finished, I turned over to SKY Soccer Saturday eagerly waiting for Ten Rags post match excuses (he seems to always get interviewed by a wimmin, because If a bloke asks him questions he gives them short shrift)

Anyhoo, they asked the studio pundits to summarise the results, and three of them (C. Morrison, some Scottish geezer and M. Dawson) all said the same thing along the lines of "No disrespect to Bournemouth, but that is a terrible result for Manchesh Nited, they should be beating these teams at home ..."

The sense of entitlement from these so-called neutral pundits when it comes to the rags is staggering.

Pathetic isn’t it! Redknapp jnr was in full on “this is Manchester United footbal club we’re talking about” mode after the villa game aswell

The MOTD caption said that the rags had 20 attempts... Was that the number of attempts by the crowd to get out before the exit gates opened?

Route one. And it worked for them.

I like that Bournemouth knew exactly what to do.

They clearly knew the two things they had to do. The first being let them try to play out from the back and pounce. It's incredible how many chances teams get by letting them try to play out from the back.

The second is they knew the rags are basic useless going forward unless it's counter attack football, so they turned it around on them and beat them at their own game. Just don't be too gung-ho versus the rags and pick your moments to get players forward and you'll beat them.

I would say this is arguably that easiest United team to beat since piss can left as long as you actually go into the game and stick to a very obvious plan. They've had shit teams, but this one has a very clear blueprint right there on how to beat them. They're extremely one dimensional. More teams just need to go into the game and stick to a very clear plan and there's a good chance they'll win it.

I think he's saying that tongue in cheek, absolutely rubbing it in when he says that.
