Wish they'd stop acting so surprised that Man United continue to be absolutely shite, it's old news. I dunno, maybe give the other team some credit? 

 

89 minutes of moaning about Man United before they talked about Brentford's performance, for like 1 minute.

I hate this too, just like when we beat Arsenal and it was all about how bad they were. Credit where it's due.

I think it's the manner of the defeats that'll have them quaking. Brighton rocked up, played an aggressive 3 at the back, took them on and completely played them off the park. They out-footballed them. 

 

Then Brentford show up and bully them. They throw it in the box and outfight them playing neat, smart football and batter them within half an hour. These are 2 teams who've recently been promoted and have got themselves on a fairly equal footing footballing-wise within a few seasons. All this despite Man U spending about half a billion on the squad. There are massive, massive inherent problems at that club and it's not just confined to the boardroom either, it's also in that dressing room, those players couldn't give a single fuck.

They're using words like 'magnificent' but Brentford didn't have to play all that well. The first two goals were really bad goalkeeping errors, and the final two probably wouldn't have been conceded against most Premiership defences. Man U seemed to go out there without any plan as to how to close down the particular threat posed by the opposition.

 

I daresay when you're managing Ajax, you don't have to worry too much about what the smaller clubs are going to do to you, but this is a different league.

 

Ronaldo has jerked the club around for the last few months, and I can't believe they've hung on to him. He's drained the spirit out of that team.

McClaren is an awful AM for ETH.

 

This Man Utd team lacks physicality in the way the SMC NUFC team really lacked physicality. This Mab U side does a lot of the useless passing and lack of intensity and physicality off the ball that the SMC team had with us. That Anita & Colback shit duo. ETH needs an AM who will tell him the hard truths about EPL football.


physicality isn’t even a word man.

The narrative needs to move away from them being shit.

PHaving so many of the midtable and even lower sides try and play good football and press high is great for the league, like. 

 

Getting rid of the likes of Bruce, Pardew, Hodgson, Dyche etc out of the league the last few seasons kind of feels like an end of an era for that style of play now.

Did Blackburn get similar coverage when they went down?

Let’s not use semantic arguments here. Man Utd going down would quite obviously be the biggest (and funniest) story ever in the Premier League. Including Leicester, because crisis is inherently more fun for the rest of us.

Ten Slags has already undermined himself massively with how Ronaldo has carried on n all. Given that he’s some second tier no PL experience manager to start off with I can’t imagine that’s helped him with an already unmotivated angsty squad.
