  1. Must admit, I've got absolutely no time for the Man U fans cry-arsing about the Glazers etc. Whilst I understand the lack of investment in stadia/facilities, they've spent £1.2bn net on players in 10 years. They've still won trophies in that period, albeit fewer than the Fergie glory years. If this is their rock bottom, finishing upper mid-table, I'm sure they'll live. Watching thousands of them fuck off from Wembley before they'd even lifted the cup earlier this year also reaffirmed my feelings on their fanbase. Entitled glory supporters who are used to getting everything their own way.

    Sean Longstaff

    Buzzing that he got to skipper the side for his 150th game in our shirt. Looked like it gave him a massive lift after he looked a bit off it at Wolves. Here's to another 150, absolutely love him.

    Matt Ritchie

    Others stole the headlines but I'd describe his performance as useful, steady, hard-working, efficient and reliable. He's even slower than he used to be, which I'd have never thought possible, but he put a good shift in and didn't make any errors which is way more than I'd expect from him these days.
  4. Not good enough for Man U apparently. Could have taken a library book out onto the field for the second half.
  5. Fucking highlights now before the draw DRAW THE BALLS MAN
  6. He might well be the caretaker sooner or later

    Anthony Gordon

    Big tick in the box in terms of being able to play through the middle. Helped make Willock's goal with his run away and took Maguire out of the picture, really intelligent.

    Joelinton

    Loved how he was shielding the ball an extra few seconds to try get Hannibal sent off
  9. If it's Liverpool away I'm convinced it's a fix would take literally any other draw. Port Vale at home would be a nice change.
  10. Absolute mastermind. Perfect performance even with the early tweak.

    Emil Krafth

    Delighted for him, first game in 14 months out of position and he was absolutely spot on.

    Paul Dummett

    He just fucking loves defending. Man U were garbage but him and Krafth did their jobs flawlessly tonight.
  13. Another massive performance from England's key player Mason Nowt I see.
  14. Unbelievably good half that. Genuinely amazing how well we've taken to it with 8 changes and an injury reshuffle after 2 minutes.

    Joe Willock

    Hope he can last a good 70+ mins here, that little burst of pace past a player is so so valuable.
  16. Hannibal surely walks with another foul? The dirty shit haired cunt
  17. We're cursed. That's fucking ridiculous getting an injury after 90 seconds
  18. All well and good if we had a bit more room to manoeuvre in the budget. The Tonali thing you can't mitigate for, the Barnes injury unfortunate, but as it stands today we've effectively spent the best part of £140m and swapped Jamal Lewis and Harrison Ashby for two other benchwarmers who are far better but don't see the pitch much more than they did. They'll both turn out to be good players for us I'm sure but it's not going to do us a lot of good in the short term.
  19. His useless dad brought in Stan Ternent to work with him... so the useless son brings in? Dan Ternent Wonder if he'll sign Elmo like his da.
  20. It's not even about the kids being any good, more that our attacking players could probably use a breather especially if the game has gone late on and Eddie has said he won't play people out of position. Five full backs and two keepers is a waste of time.
  21. I hope we include a couple of attackers from the youth side on the bench rather than packing it with full-backs and keepers again, especially if Eddie doesn't want to play people out of position. Even if it's purely to give the starting forward players a breather late on.

    U23s & Academy

    U23 side beat Everton 1-0 today thanks to a Diallo pen. Wonder if some of them might sit on the bench at Old Trafford? Surely there's got to be an attacking option that could if nothing else give a senior lad a rest for 20 minutes...
  23. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/2794523/warnock-this-is-my-last-job Warnock stating Palace job in 2007 is his last he just can't bring himself to pack in, can he? Since then he's been at QPR Leeds Palace again QPR again (caretaker) Rotherham Cardiff Middlesbrough Huddersfield (and supposedly now QPR yet again ) I know opinions are mixed but he's probably the most successful manager in England outside of the Premier League of all time. 8 promotions and almost as many successful survival jobs. Long live Colin.
