Why has nobody asked why the United keeper was not cautioned (or worse) for clattering into the Grimsby striker when they scored their second goal. He was nowhere near the ball and could have badly injured the player.

I adore your use of the word "eviscerate" there.

You are right of course, we should end them physically, psychologically, and spirituality on the 14th.

I just hope Pep isn't holding onto to some silly nostalgic or romantic notion that they're still a going concern within footballing circles.

For all that pep has done for us,the one thing that annoys me,he keeps bigging these chancers up and in some instances it for me has materialised on the pitch with some of our performances against them down the years,one thing that Mancini had was he’d be putting his foot on their throat and keeping it there ..

Reading SadCafe and they still don't get it.

Like I ranted about on here some 6 months ago, their issue is that United from the bottom to the top doesn't understand what club they have become. They still talk about "van Gaal failing, Solskjaer failing, Ten Hag failing, Mourinho failing"

No, you lost the golden goose and your club stopped being a club that can expect titles. Accept it. Only when you accept that fact you can start to actually improve the culture within your cancerous club. Only then can you understand that you could have put your arrogance aside when you were fighting for top 4 and some FA Cups and actually accepted that this is a pretty good place to be for a club like them. But they constantly wanted to burn it all down (half-heartedly) because their imbecile gloryhynting fanbase demanded the stimulation the Ferguson years gave them. So the reward for that became false-dawn cultural resets with out of their depth amateur league managers that their fanbase basically demanded (because they had tried everything else and they "failed") that slowly developed top 6 teams into a team that for the last 2(!!!!!!) season has delivered an expected points total that would put them around 15th in the table.

It is a club that deserves all they get. I wish relegation for them, but the only problem is I think it would genuinly be good for them.

Like I posted here last season, what they genuinly need is a proper "cultural reset" from top to bottom. They need to accept that they are mid-table club and will have to build stone for stone. If Amorim get them inside the top 8 again it is a miracle. What they really need is a Moyes type of manager that can establish them in the top 6 for years again and make them a team that can compete consistently at that end of the table and then take the next step when they have achieved that. But they don't have the patience for it. Any manager that comes close to improving on the shit the last one served gets 1 additional year to get them close to a title and then the cycle repeats. Even having the PSR leeway to steal the best players from your 13th placed rivals means fuck all when you look at the squads in the real top 6 now. And the teams around them have actually accepted where they are, so are years ahead of them in preparing for that kind of situation. It is kind of poetic though that Moyes was totally the wrong manager 11 years ago but now he is the right one. They don't understand the severity of their fall. They pretend they do, but they don't

Fantastic!

I couldn't have put it better if I tried.

Take a bow good sir.
 
I’ve said before, a rags defeat is funny and a rags defeat on penalties is piss funny.

But last night went beyond even that.

To come back from two down, only to go out, when one of your shiny new toys thought he’d be smartarse, is as hilarious as you could possibly imagine.

"OH MY GOD No....! No! Oh we've been done like a kipper, mate! We're Harry Ramsden's FC! Amorim is a fish out of water! We're finished! Insert other rehearsed reaction to a goal here!"

He's as fake as they come. Rehearsed reactions to get clicks.

I’ve thought that for a long while.

I’ve mentioned to a United fan for a year now that their midfield is completely useless. Mainoo is of the Rashford mould - one good game and an entire lifetime of adulation, England call ups and ass smoke blowing. Partnered with Casemiro or Fernandes and they just ball watch, the game flows past them/over them.
Fernandes is stat padded by his penalties, when he arrive he was surrounded by decent players , now he’s surrounded by mediocrity and reverts to his default (and United’s) mode of whinging to the ref and diving.

The only decent midfielder they had was Erickson- but his legs were gone, so the same thing happened.

Their attack wasn’t supported by the midfield, it lived on scraps from the defenders, chucking 200m at the problem isn’t going to solve that disconnect.

Their defence wasn’t supported by the midfield, leading to calamity onana situations as the defense buckles from overloads and midfield mistakes.

They spent money on the wrong positions, again.

Mainoo has the potential to be very good, but needs to be played in a 3 man midfield.

Amorim is totally welded to his formation and tactics, which means Mainoo will never be any good for him.

Amorim is actually selling their flair players in order to shape his squad to his tactics.

Couple that with their squad’s inability to shtick to the plan and that’s why they’re getting even shitter and only get joy from lumping balls into the box to Slabhead and de Ligt.

No way the Premier league would allow it , emergency rule change would be implemented

As much as the corrupt bleeders would willingly do that for the rags, it would pretty much bring the curtain down on the premier league.

It would be interesting though, to see where their loyalties lie. Do they protect their brand or burn the whole thing down to the ground for their darling rags.

Kind of like the song: "if I can't have you, I don't want nobody baby".

That dressing room seems unmanageable. Every single manager that goes there tries to stamp their own way of playing, but the players never follow any of them and they revert back to counter attacking vibes based football that lacks structure.

What do you expect?

The majority of players who have signed for that club over the past ten years, are there for one thing, and one thing only; and It's not the football.
