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

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

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.

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

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?!

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

Prefer them to stay in Premiership and suffer

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.

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.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Did ok Vs Arsenal but lost.
Dodgy penalty & goal at Fulham drew.
Last min pen Vs Burnley won
Battered off City lost
Luck against Chelsea & hung on to win
Battered off Brentford

Sunderland at the swamp
Dippers at Klanfield
Brighton at swamp
Forest away
Spurs away

Next 5 fixtures i see them getting 4pts, 6 at most lol

My pound would be going on 2 points and both of them not deserved......... :-)

 

[bluesteve1964]

They are pretty fucked regarding their keeper situation. Bayinder is poor at best. Drop him and his confidence gets shot even more. They have no cup games to break the new young Belgian lad in till January. I don't think they'll throw him straight in to a Premier League match, but they are that far up shit street they may have to. What fucking disaster of a club, and I'm loving it.

Wouldn’t put any blame on the owners, nothing to do with performances on the pitch……

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

They will go for the Bournemouth manager

And he will turn them down.........

 

[cyan]

Not me, I want them relegated into obscurity.

I'm sure we would all love to see that - however, my fear would be that a relegation does give a chance for a major reset - as it did in 1974. Those on big contracts will not want to stay, and a half decent manager will get the chance to start again, they will get that feel good bounce that comes when you start to win games again - even at a lower level, which may carry them on into PL. At the moment it is the treasure just out of reach that is so crippling.

I get what you mean but then finishing in 17th every year would be just as sweet.

 

[Tracking back]

We should start our own on 1. See if they can get to 2 wins in a row.

We should never, ever stoop to their level.

That banner was a total disgrace, and more so because it was sanctioned by that cesspit of a club.

The most effective torment you can bestow on anyone of their fans is to completely ignore them.

They hate it.

They despise being ignored.

They find it a total head fuck to be confronted with their irrelevance.

Imagine how much they're already being made to suffer, because the media are talking about the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal vying for the title while they're vying with Wolves to avoid relegation.

It's like that famous saying in showbiz: "The only thing worse than being spoken about is not being spoken about"

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Seems the rat missed his penalty due to the long wait for var confirmation I am sure the goalie had just as long to wait unless he sloped off for a pie and a pint to calm his nerves

The rat is weird when it comes to penalties. When he waits for the keeper to move, he almost never misses, but has a pretty average record when he just picks a spot.

Why doesn’t he just stick to waiting for the keeper to move?

Obviously happy that he doesn’t!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

This is what i dont get about the whole players in his system spiel, he spent over 200m this summer for players to play in his system and its done absolutely nothing, to say he doesnt have the players to play in his system is just masking his ineptitude to coach the players to play in his system.

They’ve just been unlucky.

They’re just about to turn the corner.
