Unfortunately Ten Bob will be gone by the second international break, clueless.

It’s quite amusing how Ratboy keeps insisting ETH will get/needs time. Every one of his 3 new signings yday looked average at best and that’s being very generous to Zirkzee.

whats more interesting is how much he has changed his tune since catweasel came in, hes very positive now where as the glazers needed to go almost as if he is now being paid by someone at united for good pr , perish the thought that someone on sky isnt fair and impartial hahahah

Have Sky tried to convince us there's a [checks table] top 14 yet?

Very very early days yet

Not unfortunately if Southbore comes in hehe

And you said paying off the ref used to work

Talksport is absolutely golden listening this morning.

Chuckle brother in conversation with screech said there were no managers available. I can't believe he overlooked the exceptional Southgate. He's a perfect fit for the rags.

Remember when their fanbase & the media were telling us Casemiro was a multiple UCL winner. It's a trick they keep repeating, buying an ageing so-called superstar who gets their fanbase giddy & we you know its a short term transfer.

Letting them win the FA cup could have been a strategic masterstroke on our part.

It really was.

To sack ten Hag after just winning the cup would have made them look a laughing stock so they were forced to keep him even though everyone, even them, can clearly see how inept and clueless he actually is.

Absolute joke of a club and fanbase.
Just had their worst ever PL performance, 8th with negative goal difference. And it's not like they under performed, on the contrary it was, by far, the biggest over performance in the league based on how poor they really play. According to expected points they "should" have finished 15th!
They cant dictate the game against more or less any opponent, zero parts of the way they play is something to build on.
They brought in an Ajax manager who immediately abandoned his footballing philosophy despite now having signed/loaned 20+ players since he arrived + handed out multiple new contracts to existing players.
Gets absolutely humiliated at least once every month (usually more than once), which is quickly ignored as soon as they manage to get a lucky win against a team like Burnley in their next game. Rashford might get some stick but as soon as he scores a goal he has "proved his haters wrong" and months/years of being a joke is immediately forgotten and the Mbappe comparisons are back.

Their deluded fanbase response to all this? "We had a good cup run so we need to ignore 2 years of abysmal Ten Hag football and back the manager, look at Bacon face, Arteta and Klopp, that proves that if we just give him more time he will definitely become a great manager".

You cant make this up! Long may it continue!

But the media in this country are also at fault for not printing the truth about the rags. If now and again the tabloids published an article condemning the club for their actions -paying eye-watering amounts for mediocre journeymen and then selling them at a quarter of the price about a year later- if the Sun or the Mirror wrote just one article criticising them then maybe they would learn from their costly mistakes in the markets? But no, they get an easy ride regardless of their stupefying way with money because the media live in fear of upsetting the plastics - or at least that's how it seems.

Casemiro is a case in point. Non-league players up and down the country, amateur or semi-pro, could not have played worse than he did yesterday. In just 45 minutes he proved again and again that he is not up to the rigours of Premiership football, and yet according to the media he had a 'bit of an off-day.' Really? I would have thought an off-day would be getting one or two things wrong, the sort of day that every one of us has now and again. But from what I saw of him yesterday I would have said he was a walking disaster zone, a catastrophe disguised as a professional footballer.
