  1. Post match vs Tottenham Hotspur

    We’re short of about 50% of the goals we need. Physically, we are a joke. No pace, strength or endurance. Tactically, we’re a mess. The midfield is a joke. Easiest team in the league to play against. Zero expectations for this season. Never been so disillusioned with the entire club.
  2. David De Gea | 2022/23 Performances

    The only reason De Gea has a chance of being at the club next season is because there is so much flux. At a stable club he’d be clearing his locker on Monday morning. Have to be ruthless. Always hard to get rid of someone who has served the club well but it’s blindingly obvious he needs...
  3. Post match vs Crystal Palace

    We’re genuinely about 25 goals short of a title challenge. That’s why it was always going to be a battle for top 4. Only for a Rashford hot streak we’d be in dire straits. Still, Erik has us ahead of schedule. That was so hard to take tonight. Still gutted. Can’t help but think the players will...
  4. Cristiano Ronaldo: Set to leave by mutual agreement

    God that was boring. 45 minutes we’ll never get back. For a total PR job it wasn’t even well thought out or put together. Can’t believe he thinks he’s charismatic :lol:
  5. Your Favourite Top 3 In The Current Squad

    1. Casemiro - an actual adult in our midfield 2. Martinez - so aggressive and technical. Special combination 3. Toss up between Eriksen and Varane - both pure class. Honourable mentions to Bruno and Rashford - our most consistent players over the last 5 years. Plenty of credit in the bank...
  6. Cristiano Ronaldo | 2022/23 Performances

    He’s an absolute black hole for our attack. Best for everyone to let him go in January.
  7. Antony | Here we go! €100mill, contract until June 2027, option 'til 2028.

    €100m for Antony is lunacy. There is no evidence to say he’s worth that much. I can’t see this being anything other than another expensive mistake. Especially when throwing him in to a club in this mess. If he turns out to be world class, no one will care about the fee but it’s amazing how many...
  8. Premier League Gameweek 1

    Since Palace have woken up, they’re arguably the better side. Hopefully they steal one in the last 20 mins. Quiet down the Arsenal hype train.
  9. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Even if he’s an elite manager, I just can’t see how he gets that squad into the top 4. First XI has glaring weaknesses and the depth isn’t there. An atrocious window so far and nothing appears to be imminent. As a bare minimum he needs 1 more DM and 1 more forward. That’s just to make us in some...
  10. Have we signed anyone yet? | Yes, with stupid tax

    Absolutely incredible to start the PL with WORSE options than last season. This is quickly becoming a disastrous window. Such a shame to finally have a competent manager and not equip him with a serviceable squad. CM and forward positions are a complete joke. No deals look close either. So much...
  11. Predict the Top 6 - 2022/23 Official Edition.

    1. Liverpool 2. City 3. Spurs 4. Chelsea 5. Arsenal 6. United
  12. Manchester United 0:1 Atletico Madrid (Sat 30th July, 12:45 UK time)

    Some positives from that but the main take away is that this squad is woefully short in CM and attack. The lack of depth is beyond a joke. Elanga seems like a good kid but he isn’t a serious option at this level. Leaves us with 4 senior attacking players. Long season ahead unless we do some...
  13. Cristiano Ronaldo (I stay)

    The club can not allow him to come back and play this season. I hope they’re being proactive behind the scenes. No self respecting club would welcome him back at this stage. There were question marks about his suitability for the new project even before all this nonsense. I understand there may...
  14. Frenkie de Jong | The last muppeting lap

    Barcelona renewing Dembele and getting a bid accepted for Raphina tonight too… cash injection from somewhere?? :cool:
  15. Have we signed anyone yet? | Yes, with stupid tax

    Had been relatively relaxed about how things were going but jetting off on preseason with a significantly worse squad than finished last season is a huge concern. A season in which the club were an absolute disgrace. They knew a significant amount of players were going on a free and still have...
