In any club you've got to get things at least working with regards 4 main groups within the club - the players, the manager, the fans and the board. There has to be some kind of collective theme going on there, some kind of continuity and common goal or target. But at Man U it just looks like a bad episode of Ready, Steady Cook. It's like they're trying to make a meal out of a tin of sardines, 2 carrots, a bag of wotsits and tub of philadelphia. None of that shit goes together, it's just a complete mess, nothing matches, nothing like good and the result is utter pigshit

The club has shown they have no loyalty to the players (the bomb squad etc and the players they want to jut get rid of) and the players are now responding accordingly. There's talent throughout the team but none of them give a single fuck about anything other than themselves an their own bank accounts and that is visible every time they play. They just don't give a fuck, it's a billion dollar club with fuck all at the heart of it all

These soft Chelsea cunts have just given up, they don't fancy it at all. Happy to take the huge wages every week but go missing immediately as soon as it goes south. Epitome of the club itself, fur coat and no knickers. There's nothing of any substance whatsoever at that football club in any way shape or form. Whole thing is constantly built on sand

I must admit I used to be firmly in the 'build it organically, build it from the bottom up, let's not buy success immediately, let's make it sustainable and grow the club sensibly' camp but not now. The rules that have been introduced purely to actively and deliberately stop my club from challenging have worn me down and I no longer subscribe to that way of thinking. The obvious unfairness and timing of these new bullshit and illegal rules brought in to prevent us specifically from challenging the elites have changed my mind. I now hope we spend a few billion quid before 2030, fuck it. I now want us to blow the corrupt, sly and pernicious cunts out of the water. Drop half a bill in the summer spending our own sponsorship money, couldn't give a single fuck what any other fans thinks, they hate us anyway so what difference will it make. Now firmly in the 'drop a financial bomb on the PL' to rattle as many cages as humanly possible. No apologies either, fuck them. This has been coming

So if APTs are essentially illegal and unenforceable then how much longer will Fair Market Value bullshit exist for in the future? It's all connected and it feels like it's all about to come crumbling down and we (and Villa and Forest) steam in and invest the money that is there to be invested. The rules were clearly complete bullshit and are snapping one at a time

If its not clicked to fuck it's not real

Feel for him, such a nice bloke too. Hopefully it's nothing intensely painful that makes even putting his socks on truly debilitating

Chance to knock out another good side at home. Feel like we really owe them one and we'll go through

Not bad, I'd have settled for that

Just do it you fucking cretins

Only one way he's going to improve and that's by getting minutes into his legs. I can understand the hesitation at throwing him on from the start but I think we do need to see more of him off the bench if possible. It seems like every match until the end of the season is a big game though and each one is really important. Progressing nicely in both cups and doing well in the league but the pressure is building as it always does at this time of year. Really need a top 5 finish tbh and there's no slack games for the rest of the season now. Thinking the chaos he could bring from the bench could turn a few games and offer a different threat on the right or as a target man up top with Isak playing just behind him or something daft like that. Just throw him on with a completely different plan and let him play

He just needs a fresh start at another club. Was completely baffled by those who claimed that £15m or whatever wouldn't be enough and we should demand more for him? He's just not very good at football unfortunately, he'll graft all day if he's fit and his attitude is spot on but he offers so little these days. Just take the best offer in the summer, shake him by the hand and wish him the best. He doesn't deserve abuse but I'm not going to blindly applaud consistent really, really poor play either

There's 9 Man U players in their own box as Ndidi glides in completely unmarked and smashes it at the centre of the goal. It's unbelievably poor from the entire team. Imagine if they were playing even a mediocre team?

That's a snip tbh. It's a lush bit of kit though mate, fair play, someone has bought a little gem

I'd have been interested in that tbh but fair play mate, it's lush. Care to disclose how much you let it go for?

This is Bruce-esq stuff. Disorganised, dull, embarrassing, turgid pigshit

They'll probably go on and score 4 now I've said it but they just don't look dangerous in any way shape or form. They're not creating anything. They're just dull, blunt, predictable and static. It's awful to watch as a neutral, can only imagine how shit it is if I supported the hideous cunts

Love love love? Love it 3 times? Tri-love. Trefoil

Odds are now only 12/5 for Arsenal to qualify 😬

They appear to have won the World Cup tonight, fair play

I feel like that should be their motto tbh. Get that shit translated into Latin and pop it the collar on a new fourth shirt

Dos dos

After everything we've seen and heard over the last 3 years I defy anyone to say we're just happy to sit and not actively push the club forward. Every single thing that's happened has been to try and drive the whole thing onwards and upwards, they've made mistakes but the intention could never be called into question, on and off the field the club has grown and we're still a long way behind some of the competition, that's down to the restrictions which are out of our control If we could spend money then we would always choose to do so. That fact no-one has come in strongly suggests that it's because we can't not because we can't be arsed. The board will be just as frustrated that we can't spend and invest but I can almost guarantee it's not because the ambition is lacking, it's the limits that have been imposed on us. They need to be cut an awful lot of slack tbh

Unforgivable is a bit ott? They're an excellent team and an early goal changes the whole dynamic of the tie

Feels very much like we're in 'clearing the decks' mode. Anyone not playing/contributing or nearing the end of their contract is fair game and I'm not against it at all. We do need a squad and we need bodies but if those bodies aren't really good enough then there's little point in keeping them around. We need to raise funds from players giving little/nothing, we have no choice. Mitchell will need to be smart this summer but we need to move them on before we can do deals. 14 in the League, 2 (maybe) in the LC, 2 or 3 (maybe) in the FAC, it's already February and we have players coming back too. It'll be an interesting and pivotal summer
