What is the point of Pellistri?

The masses’ desire to be judge, jury and executioner to another human being is a result of disempowerment in the era of financial capital. To be disempowered is to lose self-determination, and to want to make up for it by wreaking revenge on another. To all those of you who have mob-judged...

Cheatsheet - Ratcliffe/INEOS vs Jassim/NinetyTwo Foundation 1. INEOS is massive chemical company, NinetyTwo Foundation is controlled by Jassim who is ex-crown prince of Qatar, Qatar is massive gas producer. 2. INEOS is a company, NinetyTwo is a foundation (all big companies/foundations/funds...

Marcel Sabitzer's flight. On Flightradar. The most tracked flight in the world (more 2x the next one) for a backup CM coming in for a loan. We Utd fans are nuts...

The reason we are all feeling down is not because our new manager is not good enough (he is), not because our best players like Sancho and Eriksen are not good enough (they are) but because we have had the blood-sucking ownership of the Glazers since 2005. Any argument that is made on TV such...

Not buying a DM makes this job a poisoned chalice for Rangnick. For the rest of this season, we will have no game-changers on the bench when we are chasing a game and no replacements should one of our injury-prone forwards get injured or need a rest (when playing them will increase the chance...

We should somehow (give them Amad + Elanga for the rest of the season if necessary) get Swansea to return Ethan Laird midway in his loan in January. He has a higher ceiling than Hakimi and is EXACTLY what Sancho at RW needs in a RB.

Yes, but this is an individual stat that hides (and causes, as below) his team’s struggles - it comes at a huge cost that is too big for our team to have to pay. The Spurs game showed that because Bruno plays (and is allowed to play!) out of position and as a second striker, we are condemned...

Bruno is someone who was never a top player till he joined United. He found a space being a CAM who plays like a striker but has never had the experience of becoming, organically, a player who is good in different systems. He got good goal involvement numbers in his first one and a half years...

This thread highlights the nasty maneuvering that the Glazers have done to bring back Ronaldo. At his age and fame, he pays for himself. I love Cristiano but he may not be the best for us right now. While I have a great deal of pride for the way that our supporters disrupted the end of last...

We have had the best transfer window ever but still have a desperate need for a DM and, maybe, a RB. Yet, the Glazers are secure in that they have brought Ronaldo back so the bauble distracts them from the urgent need to fix the foundation. Our milquetoast of a manager, who is so grateful for...

There is no way that Fred should have played today over Donny. Why is Ole not playing Mejbri instead? It is not as if Fred has some great pedigree as a trophy-winner, so a promising kid should be playing over this waste of space.

Not buying a DM in the summer has killed us already. These are the small things that make a big difference that a good manager never yields on. Mourinho threw a big strop when he didn't get Maguire and only got Fred and Dalot. Ole, because he has no status as a manager, is a yes-man and the...

Agreed. There is a great, unselfish, player out there who can do that better than anyone else. His name is Donny can de Beek.

We tried to play 4-3-3 against Villareal but it became us trying to play 2-3-5 in possession with our CAMs (Pogba and Fernandes) injecting themselves inbetween the ST (Ronaldo) and the wing-forwards (Greenwood, Sancho) and the FBs pushing up into midfield either side of McTominay...
