We've now got Shrek coming out and criticising Amorim - our campaign is over. When an inarticulate sloth like Tudor man has his knives out for you you're finished, such is his supposed influence.

Isn't Tudor the Juventus manager ?

 

[Blue Hefner]

Even Neville has given up on him. It’s curtains

 

[bluethrunthru]

Most of them want Penandes sold.

I think most of them regret not selling him for $squillions in the summer to Saudi or wherever - thing is he was adored and Amorim was the next big thing and both have had their futures destroyed by the toxicity there. Rag fans thought he would walk into any top flight team anywhere but the last season or so has confirmed he is a temperamental ego-fest that would poison a dressing room

Any of the six teams currently below them for a start. I think you're being a bit giddy here. Lets laugh at them but we don't need to pretend they're even worse than they are.

They're only 3 points behind us and they've had a far tougher set of fixtures than us. They're going to have another nothing season but if you're getting your hopes up for them to get relegated you'll be setting yourself up for disappointment, it isn't going to happen.

so you think Newcastle, Villa, Forest, West Ham will finish below United? I think you need your head checking. Only West ham are actually possibly relegation battlers which means it's 3 teams out of 4 and United are right in the mix

If they wait till November to sack him there's a very good chance there won't be three teams worse than them.
It's always fun to have a little wager on them getting relegated, there's always a cash out option.

He's get them organised & they'd probably concede fewer goals & loose fewer games, but they'd be absolute torture to watch.

And win nothing :) th

They need a premier league proven manager not someone who done a job abroad. They need to forget about becoming a top 4 club again over night. They need to improve season by season not regress further every season. They need to stop dreaming of another Ferguson. They need to forget about the 'Next Pep'. They need a manager who goes back to basics who doesn't have some rigid system to stick to. They need to stop spending insane sums on players who have had one good season. They need to stop sacking managers midway through the season except in the case of Amornowin who should have been sacked weeks ago. Thank fuck no one at swamp seems to realise any of this.

United will finish around 14th which is exactly where they are right now.

United’s problem has never been the Manager or the players. They have had great Managers and great players.

Thankfully, they are owned by people whose sole purpose is to leech money from them. The owners know that, however badly they do, their following is big enough for it not to overly impact them. There is no requirement, in that respect, to significantly improve.

There is no joined up plan. The players have been bought to play different systems to each other over time. When Mourinho said his greatest achievement was finishing second to City with them he wasn’t joking.

Long may it continue. As long as people believe any Manager can fix it I’m happy because nothing will change. How much evidence do people want?!

Hopefully their version of Stuart Pearce

He's a fair weather player who scores penalties & assists but he isn't a team player who's willing to put a shift in off the ball when the going gets tough

Prefer them to stay in Premiership and suffer

Hey steady on.....this is Manchester United we're talking about.....ha ha!

 

[BeerIsTheBest]

Got interested today when I saw Red Alice was doing a piece on box entering numbers. Sadly it was about our Jeremy’s ability to run into the penalty area with the ball.

 

[mancityvstoke]

What a great period for them.............personally I'm loving every minute.

Isn't that the easy way out to blame the owners just because they leeches. They've never been shy about backing a manager & that has probably been their problem. Its easier to do it from a position of strength & their whole business seems to built on selling the 'emperors new clothes' to the armchair brigade.

£200m on 3 forwards with Mbueno & Cunha being good players but you wouldn't say were world class & a promising forward from Leipzig who had similar stats to Hojland in Italy when they were crying out for a midfielder & goalkeeper

Not me, I want them relegated into obscurity.

See this is where i disagree, I keep on hearing that rag fans blame the owners but what exactly more do they want from the owners, the rags finished 14th last year, got no european football and were still allowed to spend 200m , how many other owners would have done that, year on year they spend money on players and get grief for it, i dont understand the rags beef with them or what more they want.

[Tracking back]

They've always got "the biggest club in the world" card to play at anytime, supported by a fawning media, thankfully it's a millstone around their neck which hopefully strangles them into oblivion .
If it wasn't for the sad events in 58 and the Busby/Pisscan eras, no fucket would have heard of em.

I've always maintained that the media in this country are complicit in the demise of the rags.

The media are obsessed with them and the rags once craved that level of attention.

However, I would imagine everyone associated with that cesspit of a club wish the media would just fuck off and let them hide out under a rock.

It's one thing to avoid a relegation battle but could you imagine the absurdity of having the British media constantly reminding everyone that this is one of the biggest football clubs in the world?

It borders on slapstick comedy.

No way. Imagine how brilliant the day would be if they go down.

They won't though. They'll always get enough spawny wins or help to keep them safe. Also, enough teams still shit the bed against them for some reason, like Chelsea last week.
