  1. Jesse Lingard 'to leave on a free'

    This thread just feels like people want to believe whatever they can to attack Ole. Not even saying this to defend him, but there are conflicting reports and the vast majority seem happy to believe the one that reinforces their view. I have no idea what's going on, but I think it's best for...
  2. Have you ever been closer to wanting us to lose?

    Honestly no, I just can't bring myself to want us to lose, just feels like a waste of my time. Don't get me wrong, traveling from Edinburgh at 6am to get to Old Trafford and watch us get utterly outplayed against City wasn't exactly the greatest day of my life, but come the Arsenal game I will...
  3. YouTube United channels

    Same. While it's the last thing I would do, if someone wants to pay to go for a drink with him, that's up to them. For a lot of fans, particularly the younger ones, their engagement with United fandom is through these channels, and so Howson, Goldbridge and McKola etc are 'big deals' in this circle.
  4. Newcastle United now owned by the PIF | PL receives "legally binding assurances that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not control NUFC" ;)

    I think your overall point is fair, but disagree that online discussions aren't of interest to them. The Saudi Government has been known to use bots in order to challenge criticisms of the country and to promote a positive image. No doubt that isn't the main reason they purchased the club, but I...
  5. I see the 'ABU' Media are back in full voice...

    I thought the article from Reddy was pretty poor. I agree that so far United haven't really had a dominant performance where you sit up and take notice, yet despite that, we have won 5-1 and 4-1 at home and got a decent 2-1 against West Ham. Yet because we aren't firing on all cylinders and...
  6. Who is the MUTV commentator?

    About a decade ago when I lived with some mates I would have MUTV on in the background and Paddy would make them livid. They would go on about his United bias etc but honestly, it's a former United player commentating on a United game on United's channel, I don't really think it's an issue...
  7. Which players did SAF stick with in spite of fan discontent?

    Valencia maybe? For many fans, he has come to represent the Glazers not funding the team as an adequate replacement for Ronaldo. Outside of that, I thought he played well for us and he and Rooney had a decent connection on the right.
  8. L'Equipe : Zidane wants United job / all spaculation no updates

    I see that but at the same time money is always a great influencer, if United were to offer enough I could see him coming. A short term contract could benefit him as well, if he isn't able to turn things around he has the ready made get out that he inherited a mess and his reputation wouldn't...
  9. L'Equipe : Zidane wants United job / all spaculation no updates

    If the results continue the way they are, I don't see an issue with getting Zidane in until the end of the season at least. I share a lot of the concerns people have with him and whether or not he can produce with players outside of what he had at Madrid but if the results keep going as they...
