I reckon he’ll be back for the Brighton match, that would be 6 weeks.

Watch the Maguire thing again, he doesn’t make contact with his elbow, he turns his body and shoulders Lascelles. If ASM hadn’t have scored it may have been picked up as a foul but it’s certainly not violent conduct.

Wins against Leeds, Southampton, Arsenal and a draw against Leicester in their last 4.

We shouldn’t be expecting anything against these under the current setup and available players.

Jones was a safe and relatively cheap plaster to cover up the wound, it’s worked to a degree but only so much.

If they get rid of Bruce, it would be a lot of pressure to put on someone who’s never managed at this level before. He’s in a nice spot right now in that any good performances are on him, any bad ones are on Bruce.

The thing over the weekend about Rafa had to have been total bullshit, if Carr is back on the scene as reported. I’m not sure if there was a problem between them, but Rafa saw fit to oust him so can’t see them working together.

Last night, I thought, yeah, one more loss and he’ll be gone. But the reality is they probably won’t sack him.. just hope that we pick up more points than Fulham from the remaining games. We both have very tough fixtures.

His change in shape and intensity has given us a chance of staying up, but our fitness is shocking. We're blowing out of arses after an hour.

Yes we are, but we’re also having to work much much harder than the majority of the teams we’re playing to do anything with the ball.

That effort up to half time was about as good as I’ve seen them this season. We didn’t give them any time on the ball and they were rattled.

It took its toll though, big Joe going off made us lightweight and he was doing lots of pressing deep and clever link up play (he actually had one of his better games for us) and then we just crumbled. Had no energy or plan b to execute.

How many remaining games did Rafa and Shearer have to save the club from relegation when they came in? Is it already too late? It would have to be some incredible feat wouldn't it?

Think Shearer had 8 and Rafa a similar number. Plenty of time if they act now. Of course they won't.

 

Given that a new manager would take 3-4 games to get to know the squad and evaluate it, it needs to happen now. If Benitez had just 2-3 games more he’d have kept us up. By the time it took him for instance to realise S.Taylor was finished and brought in Lascelles, we only had about 6 games left.

And we didn’t lose any of those games, getting points against Liverpool, City and Spurs

He was smiling coming off because his team won tonight.

The big lie that far too many people have swallowed is that he’s a supporter of this club. It’s just another job for him, he’s doing the bare minimum knowing he’ll get a massive pay off for being a total failure. It’s a much easier gig than trying to be successful. He’s perfected it.

 

What happened to Henry, Vieira and Terry

The next PFM innit

Fuck off you absolute cuntbag

Looks at Bruce walking off having a laugh and joke with Ole, hes no f***ing fan, he should hang his head in shame that we are so close.to the drop

Someone with rewind please grab a screenshot of that.. what an absolute toe rag.

Sorry, did you just see that cunt smiling?

Protecting the assets now. Pathetic.

This was a pretty poor Man Utd team tonight, there was something to be had but Bruce simply doesn’t have the belief in himself. The second Joelinton went off we crumbled, no plan b.

The only silver lining in this is that Ashley probably will start sweating now. Another loss and he’ll pull the trigger imo

It really puts into perspective how godawful we are under bruce that we are in danger of being caught by this fulham team that have been so bad noone has given a chance of escaping and couldnt get a win for their life for a whole half a season. And yet Bruce still claims he is improving us.

If Jones hadn’t been brought in we’d be in the bottom 3 right now.

lol wonder what Lukey is saying

Be gentle Steve, please baby I've got to tweet tomorrow about how the players are letting you down.

Nah, Steve is a submissive for sure.

“It’ll be different this time I promise”

As much they've struggled defensively, it's the front 3 imo that are Liverpool's biggest issue they aren't scoring goals like they used to.  Very stale.

It’s all connected though. The defence they had just bossed the pitch, they were able to hold a very high line knowing that they’d win 99% of balls in the air and then quick enough to deal with counters.

Their midfield are having to drop back much deeper to get control of the ball leaving the whole thing disjointed.

Doubt has set in and one by one the players are dropping out of form. They know it’s over and it has been for weeks now.

It’s an accidental foul, but, it resulted in stopping a certain goal. Pen for me like.

Correct. It was a clear goal scoring opportunity and he was impeded.

 

c*** is dressed like Rainman ready for the casino.

“Oh you poor unfortunate man. Let’s get you out of those clothes immediately. And we’ll do whatever we can about the smell”

If we continue with this fraud of a manager I can’t see us getting any more than 5 points going into the last game of the season.

Man Utd - lose

Wolves - lose

West Brom - 1 point

Villa - lose

Brighton lose

Spurs - lose

Burnley - 1 point

West Ham - lose

Liverpool - lose

Arsenal - lose

Leicester - lose

Man City - lose

Sheffield Utd - 3 points

Fulham ?

Looking at Fulham’s fixtures, they’d be doing well to get more than 8 points before they play us. But it’s possible.

Sheffield Utd - 3 points

Palace - lose

Spurs- lose

Liverpool - lose

Man City - lose

Leeds - 3 points

Villa - 1 point

Wolves - lose

Arsenal - lose

Chelsea - lose

Burnley - 1 point

Southampton - lose

Man Utd - lose

Newcastle ?

That could leave us on 30 points and them on 27 going into last game, currently they have a better goal difference than us. If they pick up more than 10 points before last game we are fucked.

I posted on here yesterday the question of whether Ashley would ask Rafa to come back on a short term contract etc and would be in situ as manager if the takeover goes through.  Looks like its developed into a rumour overnight!

Forum speculation turns into a general internet rumour which journos pick up on and publish as news which creates a frenzied speculation on the internet and also another flurry of forum posts on the topic until that topic runs out of steam and another is started thus keeping the cycle going.

Are we the head or the arse of the snake?

My hate for him at this point is well past Pardew levels.

It’s definitely connected, the money that the Reubens put up as a deposit to cover Staveley was based on the money she'd make off the case. I’m sure she could probably scape it together if she loses but it’s still significant.

 

Like I mentioned before, I’d heard there was a different setup that could move forward that didn’t involve her.

 

How could you know that, or anyone else for that matter ?

 

That just sounds like something plausible but it reality is just utter nonsense.

It’s mentioned in the charge file that was put up on the companies house last March/April that the amount owed could be claimed against any potential financial judgements in the Barclays case.

If she would have had her 10% to put up back then, the Reubens wouldn’t have had to front her for it.

He started well but got injured and wasn’t quite the same for us after for whatever reason. Rafa didn’t seem that keen on giving him game time, yes he had a release clause but he could have said no, which he might have if his situation had of been different here.

January was the time to make a change. We needed personnel in and all we got was Willock. He’d be on a hiding to nothing if he came back to this mess.

This team without Wilson does not have goals in it, even just from his overall play and making space for others. Without him it doesn’t work.
