Are the zombies supposed to be our players? Why would they be wearing mackem tops? Typically shite effort from the mackems innit?

Absolutely no need for nightmare fuel mind. I don't deserve this

Is there a picket line to cross when you're the only dick head "on strike"? Are the rest of the playing staff scabs?

He's plenty old enough to know acting like this is of benefit to nobody, including himself. The initial not going to South Korea because of a niggle thing could be excused as bad agent advice, but not everything since

Yep. Anyone but Liverpool. Incredibly sad way to tarnish his reputation with us. Loads of bollocks and posturing around the whole thing and you never know exactly what the truth of every little tidbit is, but one thing for certain is that he's burned bridges and hasn't really gained anything by doing it. Really dumb decision compounded by doubling down. I'm sure there would have been a better way out for everyone but if you've signed a contract and have 3 years left on it, this isn't it. Massive shame

Crown jewels

Made from the very best relegation material

What about Spurs? We were above them in the league, had more commercial revenue than them, a better squad and stadium when he bought us. Could the fat cunt not have matched their pace over his tenure? Or even try to?

Got a lot of time for Reid. Hates the fucking Tories

The fuck? It's not a winning "knack" it's massive amounts of investment into the squad that other clubs can't compete with. We're trying to catch up but FFP is a constant handbrake on us

Aye. When the squad is of a level that winning something is expected, there's no obvious improvement to be made and he still can't deliver a trophy, it's time to move on and let someone else have a crack

I'm happy just to see improvement on and off the pitch. This season has been blighted by injuries so the on the pitch side of things has suffered. But we've still managed to scrape a pretty good season out of it, and next season we'll improve again with fewer games to play. The more we push on the better our chances of silverware are. If it gets to the point where it looks like Howe can't improve us any further, then it's time to look into another manager, but that's not the case for me. Silverware is the aim, but I'll take overall improvement to the club as a whole over that at the moment. Ten Hag's just won two pots in two years, but Man U look to be heading backwards under him. Would you swap Howe for him? I wouldn't

There's always a few in every fanbase. Some of ours didn't want Howe at the start and have been looking for ammo to shout Howe Out ever since

I honestly can't imagine knowing who their players are, what their contract details are or what percentage of revenue is spent on the overall wage bill. Totally obsessed, this duck egg doesn't support sunlun, they're Anti-Newcastle fans

Why did Howe intentionally injure Miley? Is he stupid?

It's embarrassing how defeatist and mentally weak a good chunk of the fanbase is. He's said he's disappointed with the way the season is panning out, which everyone is feeling. That's it. People are reacting to it like a panic stricken Chicken Little, acting like it's the end of the world. Unbelievable. The bloke above me is talking about him in the past tense

Weird doom mongers on Twitter, I'd bet my house on it

The Forest game was when Botman came back and we've not looked right since. Not putting all the blame on him mind but his return and struggle for form has coincided with the midfield being overrun and Burn's tough spell. I've got faith we'll sort it out and finish strong

Aye he's good the Swiss Ramble fella, which makes me doubt the other sources, but there's a load of them and they're not that old either

I got it from here https://www.planetfootball.com/quick-reads/premier-league-wage-bill-ranking-2023-24-man-utd-liverpool-arsenal Is it bullshit?

We're the ninth highest payers in terms of salary and league position usually has a strong correlation with that. We overachieved last season, ninth place should be our expectation (not aim) so with that and the injuries, suspensions, extra games all taken into consideration nobody should be disappointed if we finish top half as we'd be par for the course despite those adversities. But we're all human so inevitably there'll still be disappointment, which is fair enough. There's a lot of knee jerk overreaction going around though, which isn't great
