  1. Would you sack or keep Ole? (Poll reopened)

    To even consider the idea of sacking Ole after this first third of the season is beyond madness. Sure, we went out of the CL and started terribly in the league (because of no pre-season). But even the most die hard Ole sceptics has to see that this our best side/squad since Fergie left. No...
  2. If you're Ole in, how much time will you give him?

    Do you honestly feel that we haven't made progress from where we were when Ole took the interim job? And also, his signings have so far been very astute. Even Daniel James, who's clearly not up to being more than a bit part player, is an alright signing when you consider the fee and his resale...
  3. If you're Ole in, how much time will you give him?

    Still firmly Ole in. For these, in my eyes, obvious reasons: He's cleared out most of the deadwood from the bloated, expensive squad he inherited. I trust him to finish that particular job in the coming two transfer windows. Despite not being properly backed by the Glazers in the transfer...
  4. Post match vs Sheffield United

    Positives: - The kids. Greenwood will be some player in a couple of years! - Spirit, determination and getting 3 good goals in 10 minutes time. - Ole reacted well to the 1st half horror show. Good change of formation and putting Lingard in for Jones. Negatives: - Pereira should never play...
  5. How good was Lee Sharpe?

    He was my absolute favourite player growing up. A young Lee Sharpe was a mix of Spurs era Gareth Bale and Becks. Not as good as either, but on his day he was untouchable. Shame about all the injuries, and having read his autobiography he also seemed to be struggling with confidence issues, in...

    Sir Bobby has been in his early 80s since 1995. Anyway, happy birthday to an absolute legend!
  8. Would you sack or keep Ole? (Poll reopened)

    Still firmly in the "don't sack" camp. The past three or four games haven't been anywhere near good enough. But in general United have been very badly rewarded in terms of points for some decent performances so far this season. Sure, we're twelfth at the minute. But we're only five points away...
