  1. Post match vs Arsenal

    I wasn't able to watch this game today but checked the score at all the wrong times. Saw we were 1 up. "Happy days". Checked again and we were 2-1 up. "This is going to be fun to watch later". Checked at 90. 1-1. "Ok... we must have had one ruled out, but a draw is as good as I expected". Sat...
  2. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Not only are we not too big to fall, we have already fallen. We are on our knees bleeding out. Listen to the Tifo Football Podcast - Inside Finances of Football if you want proof, and to be scared. The only thing is that we will get up again. Manchester United will be a team to be proud again...
  3. Our lack of physicality

    I totally agree with this. You can see that those with a solid mentality are perfectly capable physically. Martinez was lambasted as being too small, no one says that anymore. The saying "he would run through a brick wall for the club" is not dependent on size or physicality, but is a reflection...
  4. Jadon Sancho | 2022/23 Performances

    Sancho is absolute proof that mentality is the foremost quality that any Utd player must have. Today he half hearted a challenge for the ball, got passed by having the ball clipped by him and then jogs back in the general direction of our goal. All in one move. While on the other side of the...
  5. Harry Maguire | 2022/23 Performances

    As always, it goes back to the cancer that Utd have named the Glazers. Almost without question now, Maguire was given a clause in his contract saying that he would be our club captain. There is no other reason in the world multiple managers would keep him as captain. All of the Glazer's...
  6. Champions League Quarter Finals | Chelsea vs Real (Tue) | Bayern vs City (Wed)

    Is it just me that thinks that Cancelo is a City plant? Just after the missed penalty he tries to get the cross in and looses the ball, which with a bit of battling could be won back in a dangerous position and yet he just stops and watches as City play out. Who have they loaned to Madrid?? :lol:
  7. Relegation Battle

    Lot's of people don't think it possible that we get relegated. Let me tell you how about a conversation that the Glazer's either have had or will have - "Parachute Payments?? You mean to tell me they will pay us to play badly?.... That's a yes from us." Imagine we get relegated....(I hear our...
  8. Do you still watch when we're 3-0 down?

    When the chips are down, when you are lying face down on the canvas, that is when you see what you are made of. I watch every minute to see the real heart of this club. I am so sorry to say that all I see anymore is a dead black husk of what was once a beating engine of joy. I see no more fight...
  9. Cristiano Ronaldo | 2021/22 Performances

    It might be a bit strong to say hate, but I don't think its too far off. The constant negativity from some seems to be overwhelming despite his achievements this season (See my original post) The amount of blame leveled his way is unwarranted.
  10. Cristiano Ronaldo | 2021/22 Performances

    I understand that Ronaldo hasn't been as good as he been at other times during his career, but I really don't understand the absolute hate this guy gets from our own fans. He has always been our player. Even after he left. He is playing in the worst UTD team in living memory with mentally weak...
  11. Next permanent manager | Poll updated

    I firmly believe that what we need far more than a manager that has this style or that style is a manager that is mentally so tough as to be stronger than the club. They will need to walk into OT and let off a grenade saying this is my club now! They need to destroy the years of soft touch...
  12. How do we sell Harry Maguire?

    A release. Take the hit. Fire those that approved the transfer.
  13. Harry Maguire | 2021/22 Performances

    My ability ratings for this season - Short passing (only forward) - 6/10 Long pasing (only forward) - 3/10 Communication - 4/10 Possitioning - 4/10 Speed - 1/10 Man marking - 3/10 Slide tackling - 2/10 Shot blocking - 2/10 Defensive heading - 6/10 Jumping - 2/10 And the final most important...
  14. Glazers / Woodward out! (One down)

    Good to hear that you haven't given them any money. I'm the same. Now we need to work on others. How many can you discourage from buying jerseys or choosing another company over the one that sponsors us? We need to realise that we are at war now. We need to go through the pain of the fall of our...
  15. Post match vs Manchester City

    And that's our problem. Any of us would leave our blood on that pitch. I have stopped expecting these bunch of fakers to do anything but collect their outrageous cheques
