We're desperate for a keeper and a midfielder, but we were more desperate for goals. There has been huge improvements in the play, but the results aren't there yet. Have a look at this forum after we played Arsenal and after the first half hour against Fulham. "Man United will be good again unfortunately." "That's what happens when you spend £200m on a new front line, it'll work eventually" "Man United look far better. They'll be miles better this season" Now one game later we're the worst in the land again and it's never getting better. Football fans are fickle. You'd think we're the only side in the Premier League sitting on one point. Tbf some of us said that your new players just needed some more time to fully embrace the rot that is in your club. And that was a cheap shop Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 28, 2025 Share Posted August 28, 2025 Big problem is Grimsby were the better team for most of that and showed more fight. Also the best signing of the summer splurge is so fat he will just be keeping the Brazilian pig company at McDonalds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never mentioned current league positions tbf Froggy I predict we will finish above yous again relatively easily, the point I alluded to is I don't consider Man Utd as a direct rival anymore & given the last 6 games between the 2 teams I suggest the gap is growing exponentially. 5 wins for the Toon with an aggregate score of 14-4 indicates this also Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sporting were untouchable while he was there, he would've likely led to them to a treble and then had his pick of the jobs this summer. Any English football fan would've told him that Man Utd is a poisoned chalice, but managers have big egos and like a naïve teenaged girl who only dates bad boys, they always think they're gonna be the ones to change it. He’s been exposed as being an extremely limited manager and coach - he’ll get a huge payout for being shite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adorable belligerence, we had no past, present or future during 14 years of Ashley, now we've emerged from that period of inertia I think we can now measure the 2 sides equally, Newcastle are clearly on an upwards trajectory, Man Utd just off the back of 8th, 15th & 16th league finishes & their record breaking 42 points accumulation last year are not currently & imo wont be a serious rival to Newcastle for the foreseeable, the stench coming out of Fold Trafford (sic) is increasing by the day imo & will continue to fester Edited August 28, 2025 by RUHRLYASLEEVESUP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a list of the managers over the last 11 years, some good some not so good, they didn't do that well in all fairness.

Cronky Posted August 28, 2025 Share Posted August 28, 2025 I've just watched Amorim's post-match interviews. He's as good as offered his resignation. One of the great things about following football is you've never seen it all. That was astonishing. Right from the start, I've been surprised at the negative air that he has injected into his comments to the media. He sometimes gets applauded for his 'honesty', but he needs to be encouraging his players far more. 'Honesty' is for the dressing room. Sesko looked lost. It was like Hojland all over again. When your centre forward is the 10th one up for a penalty, there's something wrong. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mbeumo was a misuse of funds considering it will stunt Amad's development. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should’ve went out to Lyon in Europa QF, and he wouldn’t then have the SF and F appearance as a fall back. There’s been 0% redeemable about his spell in charge. Potter has done more, and he’s one game away from being sacked. 7 hours ago, r0cafella said: The disaster has already occured. They didn't sack him in the summer and then lashed 200m on 3 players two of which they didn't need. They didn't learn a thing from the experience with the Dutch fella, they so far have repeated it one for one. They are a bunch of clowns. You both know what she and others mean though. For many reasons he's been given a lot of rope because he came in mid-season and he's basically been allowed to class the start of this season as his actual start.

Ikon Posted August 28, 2025 Share Posted August 28, 2025 I kind of want us to take a punt on Hojlund for say 25-30 or so and hope a restart for him makes him great for us with a bit of proper confidence. Love the thought of him suddenly looking like a real player with Tesco struggling hopefully. Even if only for that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
