  1. The Arrogance of Marcus Rashford

    Starting a thread to launch a personal attack a homegrown United player on the day he scores? Some fan you are.
  2. Who replaces Ten Hag?

    A lot of posters don’t seem to consider how horrible a prospect we are for any manager (to say nothing of good players). Why would a quality manager come to a club that’s a shambles and has no plans to turn things around other than to look for a fourth official noodle sponsor in Vietnam? How can...
  3. Who replaces Ten Hag?

    No elite coach would take the job at this point because without the right structure, plan and recruitment, they’d have little chance of success. I’m in favour of sticking with the manager until these strategic issues are resolved. Then we can figure out whether he’s the right guy for the new...
  4. Next five matches: can we turn it around?

    Can you see a quality manager wanting to come to MUFC with huge problems both on and off the pitch and no plan? I was surprised we were able to get EtH, and I suspect we’re stuck with him at least until the end of the season. What a disappointment he’s been, especially in the context of new...
  5. Unpopular Opinion : Onana isn’t Fabrice Ondoa, or very good

    DDG made a pretty poor start, IIRC. He was so poor in commanding his six yard box, every team we played targeted him at corners for his whole first season. He came good though, that’s for sure. Let’s hope the same happens with Onana.
  6. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    What? The guy who has been sent off three times in barely a season?
  7. Erik ten Hag vs Sancho

    Deliver a final written warning to his home this evening. If he’s late one more time, don’t let him on the premises and terminate his contract with cause for gross misconduct relating to persistent lateness. No notice or pay in lieu needed. Make him sue the club and tell a tribunal why MUFC...
  8. Mason Greenwood | Please be respectful and stay on topic

    I understand your point, of course, but the facts of this case are clear, uncontested and without apparent mitigation. To have MG back would be to actively look the other way, which I think many would find uncomfortable. My sister had the crap kicked out of her by her intimate partner. Like most...
  9. Mason Greenwood | Please be respectful and stay on topic

    That begs the question: would you be OK with a pedo playing for United? Using your logic, wouldn’t you end up accepting pedos, racists, murderers and rapists if they could improve us?
  10. It’s not EtH’s tactics…..the players are fecking lazy

    It's baffling and sad in equal measure that so many fans are so quick to assume that players are operating in bad faith, particularly when none of us know these guys and have no access to what is or isn't being worked on or discussed in the dressing room. Anyone can see that things aren't good...
  11. Erik ten Hag vs Sancho

    Equally, one could argue that the club’s image has been enhanced, not damaged, by this. It shows that we’re imposing standards again, at last. And the press will write negative stories about us, as always. So what? And why should EtH continue to protect this player and give him special...
  12. Erik ten Hag vs Sancho

    All the posts I’ve seen here only focus on EtH and JS, but perhaps we should see EtH’s decision to mention the training issue in the context that he has a whole squad to manage, not just one guy. I wonder if this was also a message to the whole squad: that poor trainers and guys that break...
  13. Erik ten Hag vs Sancho

    After a year of coddling which has not worked, it looks like EtH was setting him a challenge, which Sancho has failed dismally to rise to. I’m guessing EtH thought the player had more basic intelligence and would respond to this mild criticism (the reason for which has been a consistent theme in...
  14. Saudi signing wave: What are the implications? Is it weakening the Premier League?

    I don’t see it as a serious threat to the EPL or the CL, for several reasons. The players won’t like it. Saudi is a tough and pretty unpleasant place to live, even if you’re in luxury villas on compounds.Their girlfriends won’t get visas. There’s nowhere to meet girls, or drink, or gamble, or...
  15. Erik ten Hag vs Sancho

    I don’t know what world you are living in, but the manager has bent over backwards for this player, and that kindness and gentleness has not been rewarded at all. Employees who have had so much special treatment and repay that by failing to turn up on time, or performing to the requisite level...
