Knew they'd leave it to O'Neil to mention the pen 

[KaKa]

Gary O'Neill seems to have something about him. I'm rooting for him. 

 

Incredible what he got out of this bunch already at such short notice.

[Ginola]

O'Neil- "I still think it was but I'm not surprised it wasn't given" or something to that effect.  Exactly what we're all thinking

Man Utd with the smash and grab at home to Wolves that was horrific, early days of course but so far the league has been as poor as last season:

 

Spurs looked spent without Kane.

City (Score aside) looked quite ordinary and a better team would have given them a much tougher game.

Liverpool vs Chelsea was 2 bald men fighting over a comb.

Arsenal almost bottled the 2nd half of their game and limped to a win.

Villa were all over the place in the 2nd half vs us.

 

They were saying that all the "big clubs" would transform into peak Real Madrid this year, and we would go back to our old self and drop like a rock

 

1 game in I know, but every season there's this assumption that any underperforming team will get their act together..

Gary O’Neil is spot on. The whole clear and obvious thing is a load of bollocks. Everyone can see it’s a pen but coz the on field ref thinks it’s not we shouldn’t just leave it.

It's the small margins that make the difference over a season. Man U could finish 12th or grab 3rd spot again if they are relatively hard to beat and the officials are looking for chances to jump in on their behalf.

 

As has already been said, they along with Liverpool and Arsenal are a valued and revered brand for the PL. Do we really believe that doesn't factor into the equation when tight decisions decide football games?

Bournemouth will regret letting him go eventually 

[Nobody]

Fair to say my Man Utd supporting colleague was not happy with that performance

Was thinking the same thing, getting the best out of an average bunch of players, sounds familiar. Be nice to have another strong English manager.

[Viana]

I also think Casemiro is starting to show his age. 

 

Having him as the sole anchor and letting Mount/Fernandes run free would be a hard night's work for a 21-year-old never mind a 31-year-old. 

 

Ten Hag talks a good game, but I don't think this lot are any closer to a title challenge. There's still way too many passengers in attack.

Athletically that three is not good enough. We'd absolutely roll them over.

Jamie Jamie, one of the few pundits I like and you're coming out with that shite.

Did you see him shouting '2-0! 2-0! 2-0!' at Haaland?

As if they're fucking laughing as O'Neil talks through it, how disrespectful is that from the Sky lot ffs. 

Can't imagine how insufferable they'd be if Man U ever win the title again

The guy they got in is very highly rated so I think they'll be fine, Bournemouth.

 

O'Neill has got a great opportunity at Wolves though and so hopefully he takes advantage.

even ten hag basically said it was in a roundabout way. 

[Ginola]

Drippy bald cunt just avoids the question, basically admitting it's a pen

There was an article over the summer about Eddie Howe’s time doing his coaching badges in Ireland and it was very notable that whilst the instructor rates Eddie as the course’s best ever pupil, Gary O’Neil was second.

[Viana]

Antony for £80m leading the pack for worst deal they've done in a decade.

Casimero was always going to be a short term signing at that age. Fabulous player for them last season, but probably a liability the longer this one goes on. He looked like he was fading at the end of the last campaign as well tbh.

I kind of agree  Guy has already headed the ball, see those types of plays all the times. If Onana had punched the guy in the face then fine, but kind of clatters into him after the ball has been played and doesn’t really affect the play. maybe I should look at it for a fifth time though.

 

I might or might not be biased as Onana secured me 9p in FPL and Man U will be shite this season regardless.
 

 

Usually you talk a lot of sense. Not tonight 😆

Nah, hes still good.  Will be fine if they get another midfielder who can actually defend to olay alongside him.  The Mount signing for them still baffles me

Was impressed with the pace in Wolves midfield unless it was fitness. Something we still lack in midfield I feel. That pace for driving through midfields and for defensive recoveries.
