Exactly. Exactly. Van Gaal's first pre-season. Played seven, won seven. Then Swansea at home. Lose 1-2. Swansea FFS. Then a style of football that made you want to reach for the cyanide pills. Just calm down.

Losing at home to Swansea(!) first match of the season.

Way too erudite and sensible for this forum.

Unfortunately we won't beat City. Said an earlier poster. 2013 FA Cup Final. Who gave Wigan a chance? The negativity. Just pack it in and give your heads a wobble.

Sanest, most lucid and rational post by a country mile. I watched in a pub with my City supporting friend. He was too shocked at what he saw to even take the mickey - that will happen next time we meet. It was an outlier, a black swan event. Still a healthy third and a trophy won after the...

Ball playing sweeping goalkeeper? FFS. Give it a rest. How many goals does a 'ball playing sweeping goalkeeper' create? How many goals does a world class shot stopper prevent in the course of a season? How many on this forum would swap DDG for Alisson or Ederson? Only the mentally challenged.

Not too critical of EtH? Glad you wrote that. It's the usual OTT reaction to a loss against a team that will be champions. Half the posters on here need a brain transplant or psychiatric help. Nurse! A blind man on a galloping horse could tell you where the team/squad needs upgrading - we don't...

Yes, this is a serious concern along with Juventus allegedly offering him a contract. Need Varane and Casemiro to keep him straightened out and hope that Ronaldo has no behind the scenes influence on him. Not confident he'll be pulling on a red shirt in eighteen months time.

Yes! Burt Reynolds, Gary Brooker (Procul Harum), even Joe Stalin, eat your hearts out!

Your point is well made but he does lose possession far too often for a player of his class. The attempted Hollywood flick off the outside of his right foot leads to the opposition retrieving the ball nine times out of ten - and it happens far too often inside the United half. Keep doing that...

Just got back. Agree Bruno was well below par for the first 80 minutes. He keeps losing possession by trying flicks without knowing who is behind him. Surely the coaches should Chuckle brothers? Laurel and Hardy more like.

And the King, my friend, is Denis Law.

Whoosh

No, it's Roy Keane

Yes pal but you didn't say it's untrue. And your take is? So many posters on here are utterly delusional.
