    What's wrong with that?
    I don't know...

    Maybe, I'm out of touch with society...Maybe it's my issue...Then again, I am in same age range as them...

    Or maybe, it grates on me that they appear to care more about a dance routine and likes on social media, rather than their club and their performances...

    Now, if they were flying and the club was competing, absolutely. Do what you want...But, dancing as you phone it in, week after week, as your club is in crisis, annoys me...Considering I pay for tickets, flights, hotels, subscriptions, TV bills, Sky bills, BT bills, just purely to support my club...

    Perhaps I feel like I'm owed something in return...Perhaps I feel we as supporters deserve more commitment and focus and desire from the players and club we support....

    It reminds me of the infamous "Spice Boys" over on Merseyside...And we all know how we took the piss out of them...

    It's not gonna age well when we get dicked tomorrow.

    I'd feel a lot more confident if two of Lindelof, Bailly or Smalling played as CB rather than Jones.

    Being the game raising cnuts that we are we will probably manage a draw or even steal a lucky win.
    We won't. This has a loss written all over it. We rode our luck the last two seasons getting draws. They'll win this one for sure. Its a question of how many.

    I've posted squad just above. Good to have Martial back but guessing he'll be on the bench. Defender-heavy squad with no Smalling, and no Fred in midfield.

    So we can either reunite the Bailly/Lindelof dream team or give Jones another chance to shine.

    Decisions decisions.

    Our team only exists these days to raise their game against decent opposition. This is one of those games where we will be matching them for most of the game, and unfortunately salah is just in the right form right now. He'll score a couple

    Don't think I've read an article talking about how wide the gap was between Pool and United for over a decade. Now Pool actually have a good team and that's all you hear, about how much better they are. This is a Pool team that actually hasn't won a single trophy, while we've won 3 trophies in the post SAF era.

    I get they do stupid stuff in their free time...but after the shite we’ve seen on the pitch you’d think they’d keep it low-key or at least video that shit in their own homes and not at Carrington.

    Rod Thornley behind the camera giggling like a schoolgirl is the worst bit for me. A grown man. Then again, these tits aren’t kids anymore.

    Rashford, distance yourself from these helmets before it’s too late, we saw what you were wearing at the J-Lingz launch. On that, why was Lingard dressed as they guy who’s face melts at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark?
    Exactly. You have to feel they don't focus on the football pitch anymore at least not this season. And why go public? They know nothing about how we feel and how depressed we are these days because of their football! We are in a fecking circus.

    Nope.

    There is a virus alright but, it's not one single player
    How you can dance and not feel how the fans feel, we are depressed af because of what they do on the pitch and now every now and then they go dance in public. 24h before Liverpool game a game which can make us 19pts behind them and this happens.

    Surely Jones will not play this? I mean he has to feck off right!
    I would go for Bailly and Smalling.

    Pogba won't star, Fellaini probably will. No idea which CBs are fit. Can't see us even stealing a point.

    Pizza gate all forgotten.
    The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I will never forget the absolute thuggery and cheating that went on, on the pitch that day. That game gave every two bit football club the idea to kick us up and down the pitch for years after that while referees did nothing but sent off Arsenal players willy nilly.

    You lot win the title this year then it becomes real, lose another title race and it could all fall apart, making it easier for us to challenge. Whereas whether City win or lose, it makes no difference because they will spend a fortune anyway.

    Plus I just don't want to see the absolutely nauseating lovefest that will occur if Liverpool wins the league. No one cares when City win.

    I on the other hand am looking forward to it in the hope that only things that could happen is positive.
    Win - positive
    Lose - positive (in the hope of someone getting the sack)

    Probably a draw is worst case scenario from me.

    State of me these days
    Assuming that a loss, will mean Jose is sacked, is folly.
    Every match we have I see comment like this: "if we lose, Jose might get sacked". This mantra has been going on for many months.

    The earliest he is going to be sacked is if/when CL football for next year becomes impossible.
    But, more likely, he'll go in the Summer.

    But things in favor of him getting the sack will only stack up.

    I hope the players show that they play as much with the heart as the brain, and that they have a working capacity that we have not seen earlier this season.
    You are asking far too much, I'm afraid.
    We have a bunch of players who will only raise their intensity when they are losing.
    If not losing, then our players run through the motions and do the bare minimum.
    God forbid our players should put in maximal effort, when the score is 0-0.

    Nothing will happen to him if we lose. If we lost 5-0, he still wouldn't be sacked anytime soon.
    It's all about the CL money - the moment we are out of next season's CL, the board will pull the trigger at anytime. But I think given that Jose has won 2 trophies and finished 2nd last season, he has a lot of goodwill with Woodward and will most likely be here till the Summer.
    Consider that we are a business - losing to LFC won't have any effect on our revenue.

    Yeah I think the board is pretty much convinced that top 4 is gone. They don't want to throw more money by sacking Jose. Incompetent as feck.

    How does dancing hurt us?

    I don't expect us to beat Liverpool. We might because it's football and in football nothing is certain. The thing is that we are not going to lose because certain members of the playing squad danced before we played.

    We'll win, draw, or Jose gets sacked.

    So we will win, he always pulls something out when the going gets tough. Realistically all we need to do is one successful fast break with Martial, Lingard or Rashford on the end of it and hold out for the rest of the game. Which he's shown to have done at pool. They havent improved from last year, except with VVD

    This is going to be brutal. The best I can hope for is a 0-0.
