Just watched last night's MOTD 2, my days what horrific coverage! Our game 90% post match talk about Manchester Reds, Ipswich game 95% talk about Chelsea, Wolves game 100% of the after game talk is about Spurs, not one mention of how good Wolves were. Sickening bias for flailing, has-been teams.

Well we cant complain when we have a dedicated thread for the gloryhunters

It's not like we go in there and discuss all their weaknesses and players after match and no other thread is bumped though, it doesn't dominate the forum.

Man U fans absolute fuming with this analysis. Removed the clip off Twitter.

First step in improving is accepting you're shit in the first place. Long road ahead for that club when your own fans don't want to hear it.

Fuck, Thierry's arms are huge.

He’s been working out since he retired.

The coverage thing is annoying. I kinda get it for Man U because they are such a big club but it is frustrating. 

Im so keen for us to press home our advantage as a club.  Most pundits didn’t have us qualifying for Europe at all.  We still aren’t being taken seriously.  If we can push in the transfer market and get further quality in we can start thinking about 73-85 point seasons rather than 60-72 point seasons.  

The media haven’t shifted to reckoning with us. With CL, a bit of luck and our ambition that could change over the next 18 months. 

 

It's literally taken 30+ games and being able to go 3rd if we win a game in hand for us to be considered to have a good chance of getting Champions League. Baffling. Even in the periods where we had a few dips in form we've never really been any more than 5-6 points behind.

Man Utd fans on Twitter losing their heads about Henry digging into Yoro for his actions after Barnes second goal.

 

Henry went a little bit far with it but he wasn't wrong. Barnes ran towards him with the ball and the past him with the ball and Yoro looks immediately at the lino when the goal is scored.

Every defender does this.

 

Bit strange from Henry to go all in on the 19 year old. Lindelof was way worse. 

[David Edgar]

Does anyone else get the same level of retrospective protection that a Manchester United youth gets?

Oh by far he was. I think what made it more obvious though is Yoro does look towards the lino and none of the other Man Utd defenders did.

Thing is, we have to put up with this shit about other teams from Neville and Carra in the same vein.

@The College Dropout and Nut, I honestly (for now) prefer to be a bit of the "us against the world" and be counted out as it's the narrative of our season until the cup win. Hopefully we finish in the CL spot (higher the better) and then kick on with a class summer that equates into what you're saying Dropout, mate.
