MikeUpNorth replied to the thread Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach.I actually think he might get sacked whatever the EL result. You have to hope the exec team aren’t blind or too proud to admit they got it wrong.

MikeUpNorth replied to the thread Casemiro | 2024/25 Performances.A class player and pure winner. Shame his legs have gone, but he's finding a way to make it work when it matters.

MikeUpNorth replied to the thread The Referee Enabled Shithousery of Spanish Teams.Fair play to the VAR. It would have been easy to hide behind the "clear and obvious" thing to ignore that penalty.

MikeUpNorth replied to the thread Patrick Dorgu | 2024/25 Performances.I was pretty baffled as to why we were after him, particularly for £30m. I'm still none the wiser.

MikeUpNorth replied to the thread The Trump Presidency : Part 2.I always value your opinion Raoul—and it must be hard to see what's happening to your country—but I think you're denying what's right in front of your face. I remember having a similar conversation with you years ago when you insisted there was...

MikeUpNorth replied to the thread Patrick Dorgu | 2024/25 Performances.He's actually been slightly better than I expected since he arrived, but still looks far from the required standard. I guess we have to give him time but it's hard to imagine that a player with such glaring technical limitations will improve...

MikeUpNorth replied to the thread Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach.From Ratcliffe's interviews, it sounds like Amorim will definitely get to lead us into next season. I'd say he's lucky to get that opportunity given how sparse the signs of progress have been. If we blow another transfer window, I don't see a...

MikeUpNorth replied to the thread Post match vs Newcastle United.Looked miles off the pace. Did our players forget to put studs in their boots?

MikeUpNorth replied to the thread Trump's tarrifs.I don't know about that. I think long-term strategic decision making is a problem for lots of countries—politicians understandably favour quick wins they can showcase to voters before the next election. When decisions involve difficult...
