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

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?!

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

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.

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"

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!

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.

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.

I think you are failing to take account of the lack of intelligence which exists within their "fans".

They have become utd fans because of the hype and historical success levels, which is enough to convince them that they are expected and entitled to be successful despite the numerous flaws within the whole club structure.

Without a very historical and successful PR department, they would be truly fucked because their income levels would not exist, based upon their recent levels of achievement.

In most normal circumstances, supporters are perceptive enough see the obvious flaws in their club set-up, whereas rags just look for excuses to gloss over the reason for their continued failure.

Luckily for them, the blinkered stupidity among their ranks, keeps a fresh collection of morons turning up in ridiculous numbers enabling them to slavishly chug along despite disappointment after disappointment.

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
Click to expand...
No. Burnley, wolves, west ham are all currently below them and are worse. Then probably Sunderland, leeds, Brentford too and possibly even forest will all be expected to be below United.

United will be around the upper lower half of the table like last year but miles away from any genuine danger of relegation.

They will go for the Bournemouth manager

Thing is both him & the Palace manager have potential but at the swamp they'd be rabbits in headlights and no manager worth his salt in experience will go there as they've either made their money already or will see how shit a job it is.

No choice but Waistcoat, BFS, or raggy type internal appointment in November. I think they'll end up 'internal' until the end of the season either the youth coach Fletcher or more amusingly giggsy.
