What's his xG ? Can he play as an inverted 6 or false 8 ? How warm is his heat map ? Is his plane fare to Newcastle included in amortised PSR calculations ? Until I know these answers I refuse to be excited by this signing

Some of the drubbings and capitulations during ETH's tenure though, you've been whalloped so many times recently. Who gives a shite about 55% win ratio when you're getting basketball score pummelled by your arch enemies Some simple things Man Utd could do to give the new manager a better chance: Ban Taggart from watching in the stands like the thunder faced Ghost of Trophies Past Ban Gary Neville / Roy Keane / Paul Scholes from commentating / punditting on your games. It's annoying but sometimes amusing for us lot, it must be infuriating for the manager I hope they do neither, obvz

They're not a good idea, office romances. It's like shitting on your own doorstep. Eddie's had loads of offers here, but he goes 'no way, distracting'.

I once saw a bloke and his lass whip out and eat pouches of vacuum packed hot dogs at half time No bun, no sauce, no onions. They both guzzled about 6 cold hot dogs each Would have been about £100 worth of scran if they'd bought them on the concourse Legends

Or we could have a 5 minute chat and agree there was a Gypsy Curse that was cast onto NUFC in 1969 and it's still the most powerful force controlling the fortunes of the club Even the financial might of PIF can't defeat the hex

Howe has succumbed to the same old NUFC template that I've seen in most of my 30 odd years following this mental club Weak at the back, usually beaten by the "big" sides, lacking shithousery, a squad that has too many players who simply aren't good enough to cut it at the top end of the top flight. It's the tried and tested NUFC way Why this has happened with Howe is something that's a bit of a mystery to me given that he was outstanding in his first 1.5 seasons here and we got off to a flyer last season too I love the bloke and alongside Keegan he's been the most impressive manager in my lifetime, but currently he looks like he's out of new ideas and the intensity has gone

MDubz for me like

What date does the Honkometer start from ? Cos if it’s as far back as 1904-1910 then everything since then has been absolutely honking by comparison

Michelle Collins is the only one for me, but she’ll never agree to have a no-jarmie sleepover at mine, no matter how many times I ask her via DM on Insta

I was honking at fingerblasting lasses when I was 14, should I always compare my current fingerblasting skills to how bad I was at 14, or maybe it’d be better to compare it to how class I was 2 years ago as it’s more relevant And compared to 2 years ago my fingerblasting skills are stale and sone lasses might say honking, but they’re still shitloads better than when I was 14

It depends on how you quantify rubbish I suppose I look at the way we played in 22/23 and what we’re dishing up now is rubbish in comparison I try to keep my pecker up and not get sucked into the doom mongering, but even with a PMA, at the moment I go into every game expecting us to concede at least 1 and also expecting us to fluff most of our chances And that’s exactly how the seasons playing out

But if we were allowed to spend money to build a decent squad it’d be anti-competitive and ruin the beautiful game

We’ve been rubbish

We should just fuck PSR adherence off and go out and spend whatever we want in Jan Fuck sticking to the rules Through their dodgy behind the scenes scheming and their snidey protectionism rules the cartel cunts have got us just where they want us right now Sell the Gallowgate Pigeon’s image rights to Saudia Airlines for a billion quid and go on a spending spree

I’d say our current identity was stale, weak and disjointed We’ve completely failed to build on the stellar 2022/23 Last season we could look at the injury list and explain the drop off in performances This season it’s a mix of poor / PSR restricted transfer activity that’s left us with a stale, underpowered squad. And if I was Yasir I’d ask serious questions of the effectiveness of Howe’s week to week approach, as he’s the one picking the side and setting them up. And whatever it is he’s doing, it’s not working

The thing about long term management is that inevitably, the performances suffer. You constantly have to find new and erotic ways of spicing things up in the dressing room

I can’t comment on fans of other clubs, but in the stands at SJP people are chomping at the bit to slag off our own players as soon as the whistle blows I’ve experienced it in all parts of the ground Sean Longstaff, Dan Burn, Chris Wood being the favoured targets of recent years And there’s plenty of it on here too, although I assume the players being slagged don’t read N-O. Or if they do, they go straight to the Best MILF’s thread

Just to clarify, I’m not rewriting Wood’s time here, he didn’t impress me and I was happy to see him moved on for what felt like a decent price But I also think he’s a good example of how quick we are as a fanbase to get on a players back and destroy their confidence if they’re not in great form or our system doesn’t suit their strengths

Since 2015: 1 in 2 at Leeds 1 in 3 at Burnley 1 in 9 at NUFC 1 in 2 at Forest He might have been heading into a slump at Burnley that became a full slump in his time here, but we’re by far the team he’s performed worst for in the last decade

Just rename this thread to “Froggy”, then we can still have all the japes about Man Utd and we all know exactly where to go to get our dose of #Frogbantz, but people won’t get angry that we have a thread dedicated to Man Utd
