Honestly we're not even sure. Joelinton provided a lot of cover but while he's been out Burn has been targetted and exploited a lot. Shape has changed a bit recently to help alleviate it though.

:lol: It's just internet armchair experts pretending they would have gotten something right long after the fact. Just pure hindsightism. "Well, any competent DoF will hire 3 separate detectives to fully investigate any player they're even thinking of signing. Really poor showing here from Dan...

Arsenal deserve everything today and it's like we never even got off the bus. Did not look up for this at all.

It's the thought that counts.

Don't mind me, boss. Just spreading my meltdown around. :lol:

To think this could have all been avoided if you hadn't tried to extort 15m for a lingard loan. #shameful

Not rivals in the traditional sense (e.g. you lot and liverpool, or us and sunderland), but more in the "competing for the scraps behind city, arsenal and liverpool" terms, at least as of this moment in time. Granted we've cocked up this year but the ambition remains and you lot have a lot of...

He isn't being treated like one. Gardening leave is part and parcel of the way things operate in those echelons. Us not wanting to lose him cheaply to a rival is a very sensible position to have, no? Anyone hoping to replace him would understand that instantly.

Absolutely no one who wants to be considered for the job will blink twice at him being placed on gardening leave and us holding out for a massive compo, given the circumstances.

VAR truly the unsung heroes of the game imo.

Isak and Gordon had doubters early on, and understandably given the fees, but have looked incredible value for the money for a bit now. Isak still has levels to go up as well, excited to see what he'll end up doing.

I understand that a player caring about the shirt and geeing up away support might seem a foreign idea to a man utd fan but i can assure you it's a normal and good thing.

Still viewed very positively by the vast majority. I'm sure there's some twitter numpties calling for the sack but overall still a lot of good will in the bank from the first 2 seasons. Most common criticisms are his leaving it late for subs and general reluctance to rotate until his hand has...

We arrived in the CL spots way too early with massive overachievement, and didn't reinforce as if we intended to stay there. The higher ups clearly are fine with a slower and deliberate build and though this is all obviously disappointing I don't think they're considering sacking at all, barring...

There isn't. But I'm not judging. I just think the horse some people are sitting on isn't as high as they think it is. ??? I joined around the time of the Japan/S Korea 2002 World Cup. As I did several other team's forums. Many who don't even exist online anymore. What's your point? That I...
