Do you have a boss? Or are you lucky enough to work for yourself!? If you do have a boss, what the feck do you want him to say!? Feck Ed, Feck this midfield, and Feck this club, I QUIT BITCH!? Please enlighten us!?!? What constitutes not being a puppet and managing to not get fired!? Be like everyone's beloved Jose MOANrinho?
Solskjær press conference vs Palace (H)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I see. Lukaku is turning out to be a twat.
Yeah you’re right, missed against Benfica in 17/18. Still, I think he should be up there ahead of Pogba for the moment at least.
We've helped Chelsea/Arsenal regularly with Mata, Matic, Alexis etc.
Gary himself started the nonsense on Twitter right after Pogba missed the penalty than further perpetrated it on live television in front of a worldwide audience. So yeah I'm holding him part accountable for this penalty incident blowing out of proportion.
They'll be load of instances, especially when you include bigger clubs loaning players on favourable terms or playing friendlies etc. That said United nor anyone else will be pumping money into a terribly run club. It won't make an ounce of difference in the medium or long term.
Woah.
I'm glad Ole is still backing Pogba to take penalties if only to show support to his players rather than caving to media pressure. Of course I would personally rather have someone else take penalties but in this case if it means we're sticking for our own and giving the media and people like Gary Neville the middle finger than I'm all for it.
How did Dalot get injured, must have been in training yeah.
Was one of Martial's for Monaco? Cant remember him missing two for us?
Yeah, One for Monaco and the other in the CL
Not really a small club, but Bayern helped Dortmund when they had issues 15-20 years ago.
I think someone bit there @Ban.
It's clear @Ban is trolling, just annoying hearing "Ed Puppet" every day! rant over!
I’m gonna get the missus to make an’Ed Puppet’ maybe the caf can adopt it as an unofficial mascot...
Poggba will need to score seven straight penalties to equal Martial’s record.
Pogba is a very poor penalty taker. He really should not be on them.
Come on he didnt say that
He did! I just watched it.
Not an example of a big club helping a smaller one by any means, but did Liverpool and Real Madrid not offer us help after the Munich Air Disaster? Would be an example of one club helping another in a time of crisis.
Im sure after the Munich Air Disaster, Bishop Aukland loaned us three players. Following that, memory is a bit vague here, but im sure we sent them quite a few donations of support in recent years.
Ole said exactly the right thing regarding penalties. Support the players publicly.
Oh yeah - apparently Madrid offered us Puskas on loan but the FA blocked it or something?
He handled the Pogba, Sanchez and Lakaku questions like a pro.
Yeah the FA felt it would stop the development of a young British player if we took the best striker in the world on loan for a season.
It was the golden arrow, De Stefano by the way, not Puskas.
Good post.
5 missed out of 18 is not good enough. He should be off them now, simple as that.
Leaving aside the big club small club issue, United played at City's Maine Road ground in 40's after Old Trafford was bombed
http://mufclatest.com/maine-road-a-temporary-home-for-manchester-united/
Interesting fact in that article - the biggest attendance ever at a domestic league match was United vs Arsenal at Maine Road. United also played there in 50's, for evening matches before Old Trafford has floodlights installed
There was a lot of clubs who publicly said they would help but when United made enquires they either didn't have players to loan out or were offering 16 year olds from their youth teams. I think it was only Real Madrid, Liverpool and Nottingham Forest who genuinely tried to help.
Weak managment
Did you expect our manger to publicly call out Pogba only days after being racially abused online?
It’s a stock, pre-prepared answer designed to support - not criticise - both Rashford and Pogba. It’s mind-numbingly obvious that Rashford will take the next penalty we get. He just doesn’t need to announce it in the next presser straight after his best player has been caned in the press and online.
feck me.
These press conference are never about the game. its almost like a rewind. The only thing i am thinking about is what if Pogba scores? would it be an issue then. I see where Marcus is coming from and the reasons for it. As long as we do not have a Neymar/Cavani problem i am happy. I believe Rashford is one of the cleanest hitters of the ball though.
He's not going to publicly say, no Pogba is sh!t at pens and he's off them now! Reports already came out that he BLASTED both Rashford and Pogba over that Wolves fiaso and that Rashford is infact now the #1 pentaly taker, but he's not going to say that to the snakey media to undermine Pogba's importance to the team, that would actually be the "weak management". He answered the question perfectly! The amount of trolls on here is ridiculous!
why ever not? Why wouldn't he say that?
You've clearly never been a manager at any level have you?
Do you really think Klopp / Pochettino / Guardiola would have said anything differently? no chance.
Weak fan.
wouldn't be surprise if he's taken Pogba off pens, but kept the discussion behind closed doors
sort of thing Fergie would do, he'd say any old shite in order to not criticise his players in public

Incredibly weak! Must be a Liverpool troll because he definitely isn't "red" for United!
