Early days but Sesko looks like a massive downgrade on Hojlund if such a thing is possible. Has Slimy Stone managed to spin a positive out of it yet?

Well, there's a reason Sesko was no club's first choice to sign when they were all clamouring for a striker.

United's going down with a billion worth of debt, a billion worth of debt, a billion worth of debt.....(repeat)

Why don't we get this started going round the ground on the 14th?

If we’re up four-nil, sure.

 

[bridgeno1]

I reckon Nuno Espirito Santo might be getting a call soon. If he's got any sense he'll tell them they've got the wrong number.

 

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

Sum this clup up in one word: 'Deckchairs'...

 

[Bald fraud]

I said it before he went to spurs, but if Forrest get rid of Nuno, the rags should be after him.

They’ll ruin him like they do with every fuckin player and manager they have. And I fuckin love it!

 

[dadnlad]

Why are people saying it's a shock result ? We are not talking about the mighty Man United here, 15th in the Premier League speaks volumes and many would have had a cheeky £10 on Grimsby beating them

That's right, a club that fielded a team worth less than £1million beating a team that's worth over £700million
There was nothing between them on the night and if people were watching football for the first time, Grimsby looked the better club

till the rain evened it up

 

[Dobsy]

Taking it well..

He's encouraged violence multiple times there, the div.

 

[Vienna_70]

Will he walk in the morning or will he get sacked?

If he has any sense, he will wait for the rags to sack him.

Take them for every penny he can.

 

[ysmsa]

Must be the heaviest goal scoring duo on record tonight,

And they still went out :-)

 

[Eccles Blue]

If he has any sense, he will wait for the rags to sack him.

Take them for every penny he can.

Oh of course I didn’t think of that. Duh. Stupid woman that I am!!

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

I was chatting to a rag pre season and he reckoned they couldn’t be any worse this year. I said, why not? And he just laughed

 

[Gordyola]

The significance of City's rise being a mirror image of united's fall is often missed. The single biggest factor in the decline of the rags is MCFC.

And that feels good!

It’s arrogance they thought that they would just carry on regardless, dismissing us as the noisy neighbours Structured like a club from the 80s and they believed that change was unnecessary, confident that they had it all in place and City were just temporary The Glazer family are not businessmen in the class of Mansour and Khaldoon who had a plan and it was put in place recruiting the very best people in their field. They invited their business associates on to the board, identified Soriano and his vision of a multi club model, aware of his friendship with the Barca boys. City’s next big step is succession planning for coach, CEO, maybe chairman but I don’t see KAM stepping down and it wouldn’t be handled like the rags losing their two keys players at the same time

 

[noseve]

a team that's worth over £700million

No, a team that cost over £700million - there's a difference...

 

[paulchapo]

Will he walk in the morning or will he get sacked?

They'll probably stick with him. I'm not sure who's available to replace him.

 

[Luddite_Blue]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

You never want the third game of the season to be must win, fucking hell.

As if the derby didn't already feel big after last season we could crush their season before it has even begun.

 

[BTH]

He's encouraged violence multiple times there, the div.

That'll be why he's broadcasting from a sensory deprivation cell then.

 

[bridgeno1]

Exactly. Having water pouring from the stands onto the pitch surely reminded them of Old Trafford.

 

[Goater101]

The best team won but the best players lost (whatever that means), but the rest was gibberish before he almost went into a wild rant at the end about the players telling him something with their intensity. I reckon there’s been words in the away dressing room.


Of course could just be “teething problems” (c) BBC

Just saw his interview. ‘We’ll sort this out in the international break’ he’s going to offer to resign
