The clubs rotten.

Ive argued all the time with rags that they cant keep blaming the glaziers , theyve spent a billion pounds on players, acted on every whim of every manager. Given the fans what they thought they wanted manager wise , how can u blame them?

Well ive now actually changed my tune . It is the glazers. The poison is well n truly set in now and without a total change, from top to bottom, maybe even a new stadium, before the club can grow again

Same as everton, same as us under wiggy, once the rot has taken hold there is no way back.

And the fan base also has to accept that they are merely a big club amongst other big clubs now. They probably wont dominate again now for many many years.

To me it looks fairly terminal, the rot is now right through the club there are loads of reasons why, it will take a radical overhaul to get them back

Listening to Pearce and his excitement when Utd went 2.1 up , go back a few months and his total devastation at full time in the champions league final, what exactly did we do to him ha ha ha , him and Alan Ball worst City managers ever for me …

The ex copper in his cheque pyjama bottoms lol,

What did we do to Pearce? Managing us revealed to him his limitations, which are legion.

The arrogance of their players is genuinely incredible, just been watching the interviews after the game and the poundland haaland says that he scored 3 goals if you count the offside one which he was a little bit cheated on and that his second goal was a signature goal, firstly your team lost so be humble, second we dont count offside goals and u were offside so thats not cheated and thirdly you havent scored enough goals to have a signature goal and who the fuck has a signature goal you arrogant wannabe

I googled ‘hojlund interview’ and all I got was Interviews with Erling. Sign of the times.
 
Enjoy

Simple Slyman does it again, below is an excerpt from his match report:

Ten-man United led twice through young striker Rasmus Hojlund, the second a brilliant effort as the 20-year-old took advantage of Davinson Sanchez's slip to race 50 yards and beat Fernando Muslera with a deft finish.

Completely ignoring the fact they werent down to ten men both times they led, he couldnt lie in bed straight

It is for the great unwashed who support them world wide even though they haven’t a clue where Manchester is.

Rashford is just not a very good footballer. He had a decent purple patch last season, lots of average players have had a good few months before. I always said he can't sustain it, he's not good enough.

if he has 3 seconds to think about something, his decision making and end product falls apart. Dangerous enough running into empty space but that's about it.

If your team has any aspirations of playing good football and keeping possession, he isn't your man, he's technically not very good. I can see a use for him if a game is very stretched and you want a sub to come on and potentially get on the end of some long ball where there's plenty of space, then hes a pretty good option.

But he has a very lazy attitude on the pitch. Heart the size of a pea.

Just thinking about the managers they hired since baconface.

They hired Moyes, presumably on the grounds that he was Scottish, like baconface. That didn't work.
They then decided it wasn't being Scottish that was the key, but being a serial winner. So they hired Mourinho then van Gaal. That didn't work.
They then decided they needed someone with the 'united DNA' so they hired Solskjaer. That didn't work.

Having decided that hiring someone with similar qualities to baconface probably wasn't a great strategy, they looked around and decided that Klopp had done a great job in turning Liverpool's fortunes around so they hired Rangnick, the man who invented the 'gegenpressing' style that Klopp aodopted. That didn't work.

Finally, they decided that the only solution was to hire someone like Pep, so they hired Ten Bob, who not only worked under Pep but was also bald. That doesn't seem to be working so what the fuck are they going to do next, as it looks like they've run out of ideas?

Perhaps Sarah Ferguson will be next?

Not had a manager with the same nickname as baconface yet.
 
I just don't get how they don't have a style of play after 14 months of Ten Hag being in charge. I thought he was good with Ajax and got them playing a nice possession based game, De Zerbi and Ange have managed to change Brighton and Spurs' style overnight.

Getting into Clarkie territory here, but fuck it. Am I the only one to notice the date on that?

When that lot lose, Howard Hockin from the 93:20 podcast retweets tweets he’s bookmarked that highlight their delusion.

There we’re quite a few posted last night that are still very relevant these days and doubly funny, years on.

Be serious. Big Dunc more likely.

Or they could try Suella Braverman, as she seems to be keen on keeping foreigners out, which their defence can't seem to manage.
 
Comical club that the Portuguese rat is single handedly managing to keep them from becoming relegation fodder.
Gotta be honest though.....looks like they might have a player in Hojlund.
