midds

I think the fact that they're grappling and tugging each other but only Saka is actually watching the ball makes the decision for the ref. Not saying it's the right call but if a defender is tussling like that and has his back to the play then he's on very dodgy ground, especially if the attacker is looking like he's genuinely trying to get on the end of the cross. Can totally see why it's been given.

The transformation that Howe has engineered only highlights just how poorly this fucking wanker was doing. The raw materials are largely the same but the results and performances are a million miles apart. Howe's inherited Bruce's squad of broken players and transformed them into a very efficient top half (going purely off ppg) unit who are utterly unified and playing with a smile on their face. Meanwhile, Bruce has take over, in theory, one of the better squads in the division and has them performing as one of the worst since he joined them. They were obviously in a bit of bother under Ismael but they were punching their weight at the top end of the table. Now they're nowhere and looking at mid-table and stinking the place out. The common denominator is the incompetent fat pig himself. Still blaming everyone else, still throwing players under the bus, still bemoaning luck and dodging accountability for his own deficiencies and lack of managerial ability. He's been doing it for nearly 25 years now and has never, ever been pulled up about it because of this 'nice guy' persona he's built up with his mates in the media. He's a fucking fraud and every win Howe gets magnifies it even more.

Wanted nothing to do with it 7 months ago, now he's front and centre funnily enough. He's a fucking arsehole

Everton could quite easily pick up a single point from their next 4 games given how inept they are away from home. That would pile heaps of pressure on getting something from their Brentford and Palace games at Goodison, they may need to win them both if Burnley get their shit in a pile and beat us on the final day.

Fuck it, I'm going to say it: He's the complete midfielder Still relatively early days but he looks absolutely superb. He's nimble, he can tackle, his touch is great, he's got vision, he can pick a pass, he scores, he's still going after 90+ and is a bit of a leader in there too. I've yet to find something he can't do and he could well go on to become the best midfielder in black and white I've ever been lucky enough to watch.

I know it probably sounds really petty to think of him regretting it but if it nags away on a daily basis then I'm happy with that. The potential of the club has never been an issue, ensuring it's maximised was never on his agenda and he's fucking missed out. But let's not get bogged down with that scummy cunt, it's all about Howe now

He's done a phenomenal job since he took over. Easy to forget just how demoralised, dispirited, disorganised and unhappy the squad he inherited was when he walked in but he's lifted the entire place and flipped it 180. They look like they're enjoying themselves and are following the instructions to the letter. Results are finally matching performances and the entire mood around the place has changed and it's largely down to him, he's been superb. Also hope Ashley is sitting in his armchair watching all of this and thinking 'Fuck, that could have been my club. Why didn't I just take care of it and give a shit about it?' The fucking prick.

This latest humiliation to their nearest and dearest might bring a few Man U fans down a peg or 5 perhaps? Utter fucking cunts Probably favourites for the Europa Conference next year though tbf.

The gulf here is huge. It's like watching a League 1 team in the 3rd round of the Cup freeze on their big day out at Anfield.

Rank. They're fucking dogshit. Mint from Liverpool mind obviously but that's shocking

Absolutely nothing about this Man U team at all here, pockets of individual talent here and there but there's no leadership, unity, drive, enthusiasm and heart. They're a shell of what they used to be

Can we just zip straight to his interview please?

5th to 12th? Imagine what would have happened if he wasn't a safe pair of hands with loads of Championship experience?

That's a fluke. There's no way he's got the ability to do that deliberately. And he knew it. I mean, I'm fucking delighted it's flown in and it looked mint but he's not meant it, he was as shocked as anyone

Took 10 minutes and 2 goals to reorganise and make the sub after the red. He's such a gormless fuckwit.

'Sunderland going under' could be a cracker

Just a bit slow today

Just got it

Good good. Now get another 7 to be on the safe side. Want his nose rubbed truly in the shit

He was. About 4 mins earlier

If he's fully fit and ready to return then I can't think of a good reason not to pick him tbh. He's a footballer, he's here to play games, he's fit and improves the team massively. It's a no brainer

Absolutely Would be delicious but highly highly unlikely

I'm just saying it's going to happen sooner or later, they'll click and go up eventually, they're not down there for the next 15 years

I mean, they're coming up eventually, it's going to happen either this year or next imo. When it does happen though, they're in for a struggle every week as that shower of shit will get fucking dicked each week. They're millions and millions away from having a squad decent enough to stay up. Dreadful.

Rotten game, stinking the Bank Holiday out
