Kid Icarus

Still makes no sense to me. Reading between the lines, what's the reason? That he's uniquely damaging the brand so deserves to lose his job, shattering naive illusions, setting a bad example? Still not sure how thinking he shouldn't lose his job for it makes you scum of the earth like, as you said yourself you're under no illusion that it goes on all the time.

Scum of the earth for thinking someone shouldn't have their career ruined for snorting coke Are you alright?

Correlation ≠ causation, but if this method has anything to do with Howe's only definitive flop signing being Jordan Ibe, then I'm all for it tbh.

The crux of the banner was about the demand being to actually even try to make relative progress on the field at ownership level. If you think the demand of all football fans is progress in itself and not the attempt to, then obviously that's your opinion, but it's certainly not my demand or my opinion like.

I mean speak for yourself and your own take on it like, but wanting and demanding aren't the same are they. We're talking about whether we demand a team that wins, not whether we want one. We all want one, not everyone demands one.

Call me mental but I think with the right remit as a transitional team (something that tbf very few managers and DoFs would agree to) Southgate and Ashworth probably would have sorted Man United out in a walk-before-you-run way - getting them into a position to push on. It's exactly what they did with England, which had a lot of the same problems you see at Man United: lack of team spirit and unity, players perceived as unlikeable primadonnas, backroom communication, youth setup, infrastructure issues.

It's also difficult to put it down to that imo. Longstaff, Barnes and Murphy (not rotated, but he's always on the N-O chopping block) played well. Barnes made a mistake, but scored, Murphy got 2 assists, Longstaff played well. A player that wasn't rotated had a stinker (Joelinton) Then the players we apparently should have started with came on and to a man had really poor games, changed nothing about our defensive woes, and it completely fucked up our (until that point) threatening attack.

Yeah, solely down to his consistency Burn has been comfortably our player of the season so far in my book. Something that tells its own story in terms of where we are at the moment, but no less true imo

So you do demand a team that wins?

I think a lot of people (not just our fans) are still in that mindset of thinking a manager change is the nearest thing to a silver bullet a club can do. Not that it isn't important, but there are imo clearly situations where managers are undoubtedly quality but something else is bottlenecking the club and a manager change will do nothing except freshen things up short-term or appease fans.

Guessing but maybe the CEO situation

Was just thinking before, do they have any excuses? This season in general has a lot of teams underperforming in one way or another. Us, Man City, Arsenal, Spurs, Villa. Whereas a couple of teams previously 'in transition' and faltering look coherent this season. Liverpool, Chelsea. I wonder if it's a case of needing a refresh (Villa who have CL as an excuse aside)

Because its a thing now with him. Not his fault, he's genuinely gormless and quite likeable tbf.

Real ones know this is the most Ange Aussie.

"2 minutes for something melodramatic" Not what melodramatic means, Peter. Unless you're on about your commentary.

He's so much better and dangerous than everyone else they have that you really wonder why no one has like

Genuine lol at that Son pass

Solanke's first touch since his goal in the 5th minute

Extremely Spurs behaviour. Also, probably us Leazes Park 2032

Can't get over those tackles. Like they had bets on.

Jesus Christ

Can't stand Chelsea but this is enjoyable and also good for us.

Ohhh mate
