Don't like this at all, feels like we are being set up for an upset of some sort despite their squad having cost far far more than ours. The cost of the squad doesn't mean much does it. Isnt Antony going to the most expensive player between both sides? We're underdogs because we're shite at the minute and you're flying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't blame everyone for assuming we are going to win, I just don't like it. Just because your managers have managed to get the worst out of every player doesn't mean they are actually shit. If you managed to make Antony look a worse player than Murphy that's on you. Feels ripe for an "upset" this one, where brave Man U will bring down mighty Newcastle in full flight. I swear it feels like we are being set up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game I keep thinking back to is when they played Villa at Xmas a few years ago. Villa went in as favourites and were two up at half-time. Man Utd came back to win 3-2 and it was (what now counts for) a famous night for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hated how much we paid, and while I praised his energy and work rate, I noticed fairly quickly that he was proper shite. He might do OK in a different country where the standard is much worse. Think you said Antony and Sancho were the best 2 wide young prospects in the world or something like that. I’d seen a lot of Sancho at Dortmund and had to agree, if he could carry that form over and grow a bit as a player, great playmaker from the wide positions. He was often helped by having Hakimi sprinting down the outside but still, he also looked good with Guerreiro doing anything but . Antony I’d only seen for Ajax in the CL games. Thought he looked very useful. Was hoping we’d sign him but when I saw what you payed, we could never have afforded it. You’re in a different league with the spending power. Both players looked like they lost a lot belief which was a shame. Understand you were pissed off at Sancho for some unprofessionalism iirc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way I said that about Antony, unless I was on the wind up. I knew fuck all about him really. Sancho aye. Believed he was destined for greatness. Very wrong again.

Don’t know if it’s his attitude or he’s just not quite good enough (or as good as he thought he was…). I imagine the loan will become permanent so he won’t be your problem anymore.

Ginola14 Posted December 28, 2024 Share Posted December 28, 2024 am more hopeful about this fixture than usual but still very nervous last season MU came into this in terrible form at the same time our form was picking up Isak, Gordon, Joelinton etc wasted a load of chances, while Trippier and Dubravka gifted them 3 goals and the ref/var denied us a stonewall peno think Howe was genuinely angry with the players for throwing away those points and will be even more determined to avoid doing that again on Monday just hope we turn up and don't get screwed by the refs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d take our post takeover years and ride as a NUFC fan over stumbling your way into 2 cup finals that 90% of your fanbase doesn’t even care about. When a win still = groan and when a goal still = meh. Edited December 28, 2024 by Kanj Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likelylad Posted December 28, 2024 Share Posted December 28, 2024 Knocked back a ticket in the Stretford end for this. As above, it just feels set up for a mighty underdog win for Man U and don’t fancy being surrounded by thousands of the bastards if that comes to pass.

LFEE Posted December 28, 2024 Share Posted December 28, 2024 My main concern for this fixture is I feel their fans will get behind an under strength team as opposed to one littered with players they’ve give up on. Could be enough to inspire them to a tight win. If our midfield are on their game and don’t crumble I fancy us to just nick it due to their line up. Two prime 11’s I’d still back them at home.
